It's crazy how early some kids hear this stuff. Didn't hear Metallica and Maiden until I was 14. That's when I found real metal. Before that it was Aerosmith and Guns N' Roses. I'd say those guys are more hard rock than metal.
I feel like I went through the country, jazz, classical, and Indian Konnokal phases throughout this last year, not even joking, it is EERIE how accurate this video is!!!
Yeah, the same. I think, especially musicians go through this. Atleast I did thinking it would make me a better player. It did not. Because I don't like it. Back to hard rock and metal.

I can listen to Iowa and Meshugga before it gets too much for me. I tried checking out a Grindcore record recently and I do get the hype, it probably just needs to grow on me.
"Intense black metal phase" so true, lasted 10 years in my case. And the last one is super accurate too, as I returned to Slipknot 15 years after being a supermad fan in my teenage years :D. also, instead of country/ blues, I have a new wave / synth pop / post punk (ongoing) phase.
Despite my dad actually having loads of Black Sabbath records (and me listening to them as a kid) I never considered them particularly heavy. I simply thought they were a cool and really groovy rock band that sounded unlike any other. All of that changed when I was 13 and listened to Painkiller by Judas Priest for the first time. Now *that* is heavy.
Currently sitting in the obligatory country stage. What can I say? I legit did a little Jazz before hand. As a Bassist I do enjoy the lines. Found it funny how you nailed that. I had a bit of a classical stage a few years ago. Looking forward to the Indian Konnakol phase... That's gunna take some explaining.
@@BuyBitcoinBefore1MillionPop and mumble rap peasents, too fukin real man, before I got deep into metal like I am now, I used listened to that shit, making myself think that shit was good, now I realize its just not good music, Im not saying that about rap in general though.
I think 2017-2018 was my "Now THAT'S heavy" phase, mostly blamed on Slam Metal for entering my life. Because that really opened up my mind to Grindcore and even some Noisegrind things. Nowadays I just put on whatever tickles my bones the right way be it Morbid Angel's "Formulas Fatal To The Flesh" or J-pop. I honestly don't care anymore for "heaviness" in the sense of wanting more and more of it because at some point you're just going to be listening to TV static and wonder to yourself "so now what then?"
Well said! One could say slam metal is where you receive the bottom of the barrel. I could easily switch from listening to Devourment in one song and the next one being Linkin Park's. Also, Formulas Fatal To The Flesh is my favorite Morbid Angel album!
@@yvesheinrich5013 The same here, just a little more complicated because for me it's a tie between Altars and Gateways, just because I tried to find out which one of the 3 I liked more and gave up because I honestly can't tell if I like one of them more than the other.

For me it was a bit of a circle. It started with Queen, went from there to Dio and Alestorm, then to Motörhead, Metallica and AC/DC, finally peaking at Slayer in terms of heaviness. From there on it dropped to the oldest metal bands like Deep Purple, Zeppelin and Sabbath, took a twist to the stoner territory via Sleep, Orange Goblin and Budgie, and now am listening to lots of blues and trippy prog.
thrash (old Metallica in particular) was my thing since 3d grade (roughly since 2003), then in 2015 I discovered stoner/doom, and that lasted for a good 4 years. I'm 29, and I feel like now, the less hair I have on my balding head, the more I like hardcore punk and even a bit of grind. also been listening to a lot of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, who have like 20 albums in all sorts of genres.:D

Dude, this is exactly what happened with me but starting at the age of 12. I started with Bon Jovi, moving on from my obsession with Queen, Prince, Michael Jackson and 80s Pop & Soft Rock. Then I made a playlist of more “Rocky” stuff, since my favourite song was Livin On a Prayer. Then all of the Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Metallica, and the rest all started to fall in. I still listen to that playlist and I can’t get enough of it. I can’t even explain how happy I was when my guitar teacher taught me to play Back in Black (AC/DC) Thanks for this video dude it was hilarious.
I had my jazz and classical music phase before becoming a metalhead, so when I started to listen to death/black metal the first thing I tried to find was really heavy bands that used these other 2 other genres in their songs
Can't believe how accurate this is. Nowadays what I'm listening the most is the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal. In a world of 8 string guitars I find so much Confort in standard tuning and high voiced singers.
How accurate, after 8 years of ascending the metal heaviness ladder, 2 years quitting to listen to folk music, country, jazz, blues, everything and anything, now I'm back at grunge and Metallica/Pantera as my 2 fave vibes from "when I was younger" 🤣
I though I had finally heard someone playing the heaviest metal ever in my neighborhood, until I investigated and realized it was a guy with a tractor dragging a metal storage container across a parking lot...maybe I need help....lol
Same here! I’m absolutely obsessed with Brutal Death Metal ATM, specifically the technical side of it. I’ve listened to Cryptopsy’s None So Vile and that spiralled me into Suffocation, Deeds of Flesh, Dying Fetus, Nile, Wormed and Defeated Sanity.
I started with Blind Guardian via a Tolkien meme, got into Dragonforce via a crush’s recommendation, got into Maiden and Nightwish via a RUclips channel, got into Trivium via their live-streamed shows, got into Soilwork and Amorphis via fanfiction (don’t ask… or maybe do, IDC) There’s been more, of course, but those are the highlights. It’s been pretty unconventional, or so I’d like to think.
In Finland our "heavy metal journey" starts when we are like 5 years old because we literally have heavy metal bands for kids, like "Hevisaurus". Also our dads and uncles listen metal (or hard rock) basically evyrywhere they can 😃.
French metal wasn't enough for many of us, we got into mongolian metal, japanese metal, thai metal, indian metal, nordic folk metal, maori metal and even dinosaur metal four our children 😅
@@himinthegulf8338 Well, not really. Southeast Desert Metal is an Australian metal band, comprised completely of indigenous people, in the middle of the outback. It is some of the most passionate and powerful stuff I've ever heard.
What happened to me: The first song I reportedly ever heard was “My Little Man” by Ozzy. By the time I turned 5, my favorite band was already Death and my favorite album was Leprosy. Still is today.
The evolution of every guitar youtuber: The phase when you're just copypasting the same clip with different text on top and the guy in the comments points it out, so then you can start the phase where you make videos about your youtube comments.
The feeling of needing something heavier and heavier is definitely a real phenomenon with metal enthusiast, feeling something is missing musically till you find it is also a thing; and the ecstasy of finding the true metal sound your soul had been craving all along is life changing, a love and addictive for life 🖤
I'm at the stage where it's either the utter chaos of extreme metal like anaal nathrakh, 45 minutes of distant chiming, reverb on one minor chord and whimpering from Bell Witch, or extremely chill stoner rock with really grimy low tuning, I've been listening to a lot of elephant tree lately. Idk what phase that is.
Damn. This is scary accurate. Went through all of those phases and now I'm blasting whatever my playlist randomly plays. Now I'm one of those guys listening to brutal death metal, Hard Bop, trance, rap, classical and whatever chill music sung by all those gorgeous female singers with mellow voices and occasionally Luke combs or those sweet Russian deep house beats
literally it was like this, I started to like METAL because my father kept putting AC/DC albums to play in the car, then I got to like it and I went deeper and today my musical taste is divided into listening to Samba, Death Metal and other musical styles.
bands like Ulcerate and Blut Aus Nord are probably the pinnacle of heaviness and amazing songwriting for me so far. my work supervisor recommended me 777 - Cosmosophy earlier this year and I havent really been the same since.
Been in the death phase for 8 years and going down the rabbithole of grindcore and deathcore recently. 2014 I went from slipknot I had downloaded on my iphone 4, to cannibal corpse in a matter of an evening. Now that's a good evening right there sir

Nordic folk metal? That just sounds like 2nd wave black metal with extra steps
Ah yes dinosaur metal.
Pop pop pop! Popkornipulla!
You haven't lived till you've listened to Southeast Desert Metal. Check it out.
@@eukyaliptiss So Kyuss?
@@himinthegulf8338 Well, not really. Southeast Desert Metal is an Australian metal band, comprised completely of indigenous people, in the middle of the outback. It is some of the most passionate and powerful stuff I've ever heard.
I’m sure you’re referencing “Lords of Chaos” right? 😂
@@BradleyHallGuitar it was a weird movie.
Spot on mate!
im in the classical phase right now, and your example, Webern, is really accurate cuz I fcking love 20th century classical
Instructions unclear, I ended up on a weird Eurodisco (mostly Italo-Disco) phase that evolved into a Balkan folk and Gypsy Music one.
The Last words in this video hurts more than they should
Okay, now THAT is heavy
What happened to me: The first song I reportedly ever heard was “My Little Man” by Ozzy. By the time I turned 5, my favorite band was already Death and my favorite album was Leprosy. Still is today.
The evolution of every guitar youtuber: The phase when you're just copypasting the same clip with different text on top and the guy in the comments points it out, so then you can start the phase where you make videos about your youtube comments.
I went full circle and Im back at Ratt, Steelheart and Slaughter.
Yeah! Kudos to you for mentioning Electric Wizard! Dopethrone is a classic, everyone should give it a go
Bradley your vids make my day man thx for posting
The transition from Pantera to Cannibal Corpse is a bit harsh. I think there is the link missing, namely Death
The feeling of needing something heavier and heavier is definitely a real phenomenon with metal enthusiast, feeling something is missing musically till you find it is also a thing; and the ecstasy of finding the true metal sound your soul had been craving all along is life changing, a love and addictive for life 🖤
He legit made us watch him saying “Ok now that is heavy” in a loop constantly changing the background songs
I'm at the stage where it's either the utter chaos of extreme metal like anaal nathrakh, 45 minutes of distant chiming, reverb on one minor chord and whimpering from Bell Witch, or extremely chill stoner rock with really grimy low tuning, I've been listening to a lot of elephant tree lately. Idk what phase that is.
Why is this so much accurate?
Damn. This is scary accurate. Went through all of those phases and now I'm blasting whatever my playlist randomly plays. Now I'm one of those guys listening to brutal death metal, Hard Bop, trance, rap, classical and whatever chill music sung by all those gorgeous female singers with mellow voices and occasionally Luke combs or those sweet Russian deep house beats
One of my favorite memories is my dad showing me Kill em All on a long drive
Spot on!
I use to listen Black Metal and Grindcore a lot and now i started to listent to punk again
literally it was like this, I started to like METAL because my father kept putting AC/DC albums to play in the car, then I got to like it and I went deeper and today my musical taste is divided into listening to Samba, Death Metal and other musical styles.
I had my jazz phase in the pandemic and now I am at the last stage
bands like Ulcerate and Blut Aus Nord are probably the pinnacle of heaviness and amazing songwriting for me so far. my work supervisor recommended me 777 - Cosmosophy earlier this year and I havent really been the same since.
"Obligatory jazz phase" is just the first three Candiria albums on repeat.
I remember finding the Ace of Spades on the CD shelf when I was 12/13, never had I heard something so loud.
this is so scarily accurate goddamn
All this time I thot LIZZO was HEAVVYY.....muhahaha
Friggin genius my friend! You made me lol at French bands 🤣
MASSACRA :D
This video could alternatively be titled: Metalhead Goes to the Gym.
This is frightingly accurate
My introduction to Metal was my dad blasting Cowboys From Hell when I was like 8 or something, loved Metal ever since
I've been in the "cope with the impending wrath of old age" stage for about a decade now
I hate you for how accurate this is dammit.
This is sooooo accurate!
This is too accurate. I'm alarmed and my jimmies are russled.
Man, you made me spit my coffee with the french music pun 😂
That last comment with Iron Maiden playing... ouch. I felt that.
Been in the death phase for 8 years and going down the rabbithole of grindcore and deathcore recently. 2014 I went from slipknot I had downloaded on my iphone 4, to cannibal corpse in a matter of an evening. Now that's a good evening right there sir
Whats the name of the song for the deathcore phase?
I'm 17 and I just found out about metal this year on April but now I I think I'm at "Obligatory classical phase"
amazingly accurate. I have come full circle and basically just have S & M and rust in peace on repeat.
You forgot the "Devin Townsend/Porcupine Tree/Late Opeth phase.
The Pantera one is relatable but instead of my bullies father it's my mom, she's a metalhead
This one hit close to home
Spot on.
I also know this guy that went through this entire cycle in the space of 3 MONTHS
"Okay, now THAT IS HEAVY"
I watched the ladies of Iron MaidenS say their least favorite to play is Run To The Hills. One of them even said "not a fan" while answering the question.
*Shit, how come I'm on a "classic" phase already? I thought I was young!*
The begging was actually how I got into rock, AC/DC in my dads truck
That was scarily accurate.
holy shit you've accelerated my evolution by a lot thanks
