“W.A.P “by Cardi B and some others from this video.
I am the table is so bad it’s good
Any Modern songs with the same Trap beat that loops on and on with lyrics of gucci or words that repeat!
RAP
Frankly Florence Forster Jenkins has brought endless hours o slightly drunken joy to my life.
Then there are days that just need Destroy all Music by the flying Luttenbachers, which might err on the side of development sometimes.
Some people do consider Atari Teenage Riot to be repetitive and uninspired, i think it is meditation music.
Can music be bad if it makes you happy?
I legitimately had a high school teacher who would blast the Friday song. Every Friday. For four years.
Scarred for life muahaha
What a torture
Sometimes it is possible to teach someone a good idea by presenting them with a bad one, in this case for you it was roughly 100 consecutive fridays of Friday.
I have the same problem my ears bleed every friday
For 4 years? Really?
Detuning that acoustic guitar prior to playing Wonderwall in the beginning was a masterful touch.
Wait....I was out of tune?
@@ShredmasterScott No it was beautiful, Ive never seen someone that good on guitar
Outstanding move
Just like in parties!
@A Lucky Man! lol yeah. I don't mess with them.
The shaggs were apparently forced to be a band because of there dad that's why they sound so weird
You’re almost there
Basically dude was a nut who went to a fortune teller and told him that they would be a massive band so he shoved them into a studio with instruments and recorded a masterpiece of avante garde music
*UNIQUE
Masses stuck at 4/4 120bpm
I feel like their father forced them into music without letting them actually hear music
@@spedsledproductions yeah that's a good point
This dude is just if thor never went back to Asgard and became the “god” of music theory evilness
Trust no fool who mounts horns on his helm
Grrrr why do ya still believe in jesus?
a cross of Shrek and Thor, was what i am thinking :)
Nah he looks like captain barbossa
The Shaggs are very interesting to me in that they had actually never heard music to any extant. They were basically given cheap instruments by their father and told to go become pop stars. So it's sort of like listening to aliens who had were dropped off on earth, given instruments and learn how to play without absolutely no instruction or exposure to music.
Yes. And it's fucking horrendous.
@@andrewbennett7610 well,uh, yeah. But interesting.
@@markburris9778 agreed
@@andrewbennett7610 also agrred
Weren't they locked in a room by their father aswell?
Wise information, Petrucci's evil twin.
@Scatter1H What about John Petruchkavich?

Rebecca Blacks voice in "Friday" makes me wanna skip ahead to Monday.
Edit: Shredmasterscott liked this comment. I can now ascend to death metal heaven
Holy shit HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
She sounds like a frickin robot, so monotone.
@@simon8126 autotune helps
It makes me wanna skip ahead to my grave
Shockingly, she actually grew up and got vocal lessons, and is actually generically decent now.
This is quality. The content. Glad to find ya
Sheeesh
Klesh, love your Pay Dirt vids.. recently subbed
"You just have to sit there and take it for 3 minutes and 47 seconds...".
I just about lost my shit when you said that. Excellent episode!
😂💀
That 80/20 thing you said at the end hit me hard. I’ve been down on myself but hearing that made me realize I have to just keep going and stop letting negative feelings stop me from creating. I had never heard that before. Thanks shred
He absolutely hit the nail on the head. Metric tons of commercial or relatively unknown (outside of a niche group) artists may (and almost undoubtedly have) struggle(d) to churn out a hit single, let alone have famous EPs and/or albums.
From what I've noticed, albums, by and large, are becoming a dead format in the world of music production. So, instead of creating songs tied to a list of adjacent themes, like with albums, you can instead release singles or EPs and not be as bound by yourself or fans to maintain musical consistency or your "sound." That is a tremendous silver lining!
@@averydoesstuff
Is album becoming a dead format? Yeah for top 40 charts that rely baiting people only with music factory produced singles maybe. But if you want to make music for a music enthusiast crowd, good luck getting rid of the album and staying relevant.
Well I guess there's a career in being a TikTok Musician too.
Hahaha!🤣😂😅 Omfg this is great...fucking amazing. Give me shred until I die!!🤘👿☠
The Shaggs actually have a really interesting backstory. From Wikpedia:
The conceptual beginning of the Shaggs came from Austin Wiggin's mother who, when her son was young, had predicted during a palmreading that he would marry a strawberry blonde woman, that he would have two daughters after she had died, and that his daughters would form a popular music group. The first two predictions proved accurate, so Austin set about making the third come true as well.[8] Austin withdrew his daughters from school, bought them instruments, and arranged for them to receive music and vocal lessons. The Wiggin sisters themselves never planned to become a music group, but as Dot later said, "[Austin] was something of a disciplinarian. He was stubborn and he could be temperamental. He directed. We obeyed. Or did our best."[9] Austin named the Shaggs after the popular shag hairstyle and as a reference to shaggy dogs.[9] In 1968, Austin arranged for the girls to play a regular Saturday night gig at the Fremont, New Hampshire, Town Hall.
Frank Zappa is a huge fan of 'em
Kinda vindicates the expression "Don't believe everything you're foretold."
@@nickwilliams6621 kurt cobain as well
My Pal Foot Foot.
Not my cup of tea but credit where it's due. How the fuck can you sing that song while playing the instrument in that timing? That's fucking metal!
I love how this video isn't just ripping into bad music but actually tries to improve it.
"If you ever want to learn music, or write music"
Pop Artist: You guys write your own music?
Mwahahaaaa 👹
Elvis Presley didn’t write not one song. But still he’s considered a legendary artist.
@@val13c59 Credited on Heartbreak Hotel though.
You know pop music doesn't only mean Justin Bieber right? So many rock musicians know fuck all about writing music
@@adr.marius5636 the big rock bands write their own stuff. I saw a video that showed how tons of big pop or rap songs use some of the exact same beats. Listen to sweet child o’mine, then listen to learn to fly. Then, listen to “WAP” and then any other of carbi d’s songs.
I heard about the Shaggs by accident on RUclips at some point last year, I think. Their dad made them play instruments (apparently, not well) and insisted on them getting a record deal, even when the record labels said the girls weren't ready to record. And the result is that monstrosity earworm that ensued.
I fucking lost at the death metal walrus, kudos to you my man!
I had managed to go the entire 10 years since Friday was released without ever hearing a note of it. Thanks a lot 🤣
same
Yup. My first time to. :(
I remember the first time , in a store, years after its release, that I heard Justin Beiber's 'Baby' or whatever it's called, and thinking:
'This can't be real, THIS is the big hit?! THIS made him a star?!'
"Excuse me miss, what aisle are your ear plugs in?"
@@adreanmarantz2103 No, that's not what made him a star, his looks did.
Ditto that sorry excuse for a song I could have done without for another 10 years or more wow
If a guy at the campfire thinks he can impress chicks by putting them asleep with Wonderwall hit them with "Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears; that'll wake them right up and they'll start woo-ing. Then finish the performance by smashing the guitar in the campfire and admits the torrent of glowing cinders you shout: SLAYEEEER!!! Followed by an awkward silence while everyone is staring at you with horrified expression. IF then one of the chicks replies with SLAYEEER!!! then you know she is your true Wonderwall. The mating ritual is completed.
Dirk...these words you speak are true. Let the mating call be "SLAYEEEER!". Reign in blood my brother, reign. in. BLOOODDDDDDDD!
I've never heard a woman yell out SLAYEEEER!! Obviously my search in life must continue.
@@jimmym3352 If she's from the UK, she shall yell "Slayeh!", if she's from Scotland or, maybe a pirate: "Slar!" and from France: "Slayair!" When the time is right, she will make herself known to you...when you hear the call, you must go to her so that the ritual can begin. SLAY-HER! (I mean, not actual slaying, I mean give her a bit of tender loving....then some cuddling. Yeah. That's it)
@@jimmym3352 Lemme know where you find em lol. I LOVE SLAYER!!!! My dad raised me and my brother and 3 sisters on slayer, megadeth, d.r.i. , maiden and Anthrax. Uhhh worst song ive ever heard has to be that abercrombie and fitch song or that GODDAMM LAFFY TAFFY BULLSHIT!!! SHIT!! OF COURSE! The chinese noodle one on here FOR SURE lmfao.
@K Spro Oh...she's not leaving! She OWNS you now. And when you wake up in the night, you will here the haunting playing of a recorder playing "War Ensemble", from the back yard, 2 houses away. This ritual...does not end. It is your life now.....wooohhooohaaahaaahaaa
Well, it doesn't help that both "Friday' and "Chinese Food" were "written" and "produced" by the same fucking person: Patrice Wilson. These aren't "songs"; they're crimes against humanity.
I'll never ever get tired of that video where you burn pop music with firewood
I've only watched two of your videos so far, and I wish you were my theory professor when I struggled as a music major... I think I would have had so much more fun and probably appreciated the subject so much more.
Right there with you. His terminology choices are easy to understand, follow, and remember, not to mention humorous. It’s the perfect combination of taking the serious stuff seriously, and nothing else, including himself. He really does have a gift of conveying information.
The quality of evil laughter in this video is absurdly high
He’s phoning it in. On his evil laughter phone.
Friday with st angers production and snare
Death Metal Walrus continually makes me bust out laughing.
Death Metal Seal! Clean your ears out,man!✨🎼🙏🏼🎼✨
When you added the Pedal tone to Friday, my brain got vibes from Queen- I want it all.
Hated Queen
Rebecca Black and Alison Gold were part of a group that allowed people to sing for $4,000. Literally this was the ultimate no-budget singing.
A few months later there was a woman called Jenna Rose who was 12 and made an unrealistically sexualized video feat. 12 and 13 year old girls called "O.M.G." and I almost felt like I was on a watch list when I saw it. I literally was creeped out by it.
There's another song, I forgot who, the girl was 12, and she wrote a song about her jeans. Entirely autotone. Just God awful.
Friday is so bad it makes me love St. Anger so much
Friday is so bad it makes me St. Anger
st anger is good.
Makes Load 1 & 2 sound like the greatest musical genius of all time.
That awkward moment when you actually like St. Anger. Except Dirty Window and Purify, those songs suck.
@@clownpocket Load & Reload is pretty good
"You just have to sit there and take it for 3 minutes and 45 seconds". Ah yeah the advice I gave my ex
nice

Well, did he?

Thanks for introducing me to The Shaggs. After digging a little deeper, I came to the conculsion that a) they knew exactly what they where doing b) they sound exactly the way they want to sound (well, maybe, if they could go back, they'd tune their guitars before recording it) and c) Dot Wiggins actually knows how to read and write sheet music, and she had written out all of the songs. And with that, they are in line with more well-known musicians like Frank Zappa (who called The Shaggs "better than The Beatles"), Captain Beefheart and other musicians with a less music theory driven (or "the harmonic style of 18th centry european musicians" driven, to quote Adam Neely) approach to music.
If I had a cat, I would name her "Foot Foot".
In all seriousness, though it's severely under-developed, their music is similar to that of the modern indie and especially anti-folk genres. I would have really liked to see what they could have done with more practice.
Like, the ideas are fully there, they just weren't able to get the ideas out as cohesively as they wanted.
I like to think that, although they did technically become big, they would have been much, much bigger if their dad hadn't pushed them into recording so soon.
It fits well into the genre of anti-music.
The cat would be your pal!
love your work , learned more about music in fifteen minutes with you than my entire life time. I honestly used to listen and like what was pleasing to my ear and now have a far deeper interpretation and appreciation starting listen to such a larger back catalogue of music from many era's and styles all over again ,thankyou.
That's a sub from me bro, I love how you dissect music using both humour and actual theory, plus the way you explain theory is way more comprehensible than most people I've met.
bruh, this dude is better than every dceu villain to date. that laugh is evil af
It’s hilarious
After years of garbage RUclips suggestions, the algorithm finally sends me a winner. Awesome content. Liked and subscribed.
JFC! 17secs in SUBBED! That song is the bane of my existence, the dictionary definition of "droning on" and you wasted NO time calling it out. Bless you.
That chord progression dates back to "Teen Angel" and just about every teen heartache song from the 60's....
The I-vi-IV-V chord sequence is called the "1950s Progression" because so much pop music from the '50s and early '60s was written used that progression. Actually it's much, much older than that; many classical composers included it (especially Mozart, and sometimes Beethoven) and English folk-songs from the 1500s often use the same chord sequence
The editing was spot on in this one. Keep uploading man this stuff kills!
Surprisingly. I spend most ost of my time listening to Medieval, Baroque/Classical, neoclassical metal, and anything epic, yet I find "Dirty Window" to be a pretty fun song. It's like those days where your jamming in the garage for a while and you just want to wind down, lighten the mood and cruise along to the jam. There are actually some pretty awesome moments on St. Anger, and "Unnamed Feeling" is a legitimate gem. especially when you hear some of the remixes.
if you live in a big city you begin to appreciate 4'33
Man, ur dry and tarty humor killed me. Loving it! Subbed.
The video was good but I’m subbing based on your hair alone. INCREDIBLE
for a long time, I thought I was reaching the intellectual peak listening to Pink Floyd and Rush lyrics...... then one of my friends introduced me to "Friday" by R. Black and it put my understanding of the universe on a completely different mental and spiritual level
so what you're telling me is your friend put you through psychological hell
@@n-Chantreuse no, the other way around...... now, there's always friday in my mind
@@itkojecockot which seat can I take ?
@@dadoodfrumcheers. all of them, by lying down
Loved the use of the middle fingers to highlight the pedal tones, lol'd hard. Thanks, Shred.
Think about it this way: out of the billions and billions of songs that have been created since the beginning of time maybe even trillions you've only listened to maybe one one millionth of a percentage of all music. Thinking about it in these terms 99.999% of music you will probably hate.
that blows my mind
@@ShredmasterScott Gotta love Pareto Distribution!
Millions of unheard songs lost in history
The earliest song that I absolutely love is an anonymous English composition from the 13th century, called Miri It Is, it's otherworldly.
Shred! What's good brother? I was thumbing through RUclips and came across one of your favs, the shaggs doing their unforgettable song call "my pal foot foot". Wow! Is all I can say!
I swear man, this is my new favorite channel on RUclips
This guy is seriously underrated
California Girls was on rotation when I was working at a forklift pallet factory. I wanted to lay on the conveyor and let the bandsaw do what it does every time it came on.
I'm not 100% convinced this isn't Ben Eller in disguise. 🤪 I'm new here....wait!? Death Metal Walrus???!!!! Subscribed!!
'Friday' is the plot for every show on Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel.
Both you and Pat Finnerty are using music theory to accurately explain why something sucks. Much appreciated.
PLEASE tell me you're doing a Lulu retrospective for this November's TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!??
When I heard the "Kinski" line in a record store with my bud I legit nearly collapsed into the CD displays in laughter. I COULD NOT BELIEVE that line opened the album.
You’re like the Ron Swanson of Metal. Good stuff man!
The Shaggs are actually from my town. I'm greatly blessed to have one of the most unbearable popular bands in my town's history books
I don't know why I literally burst in laughter every single time you make that "evil laugh" out of nowhere XDDD
The Shaggs aren't music. The Shaggs are pure art. In addition, 4'33 is a minimalist masterpiece.
4'33" is The Emperor Has No Clothes of Music... if you "get it", then you deserve ridicule. You huffed your own farts for four minutes.
@@suburbanindie cage's song shows us music is not only sound, Performing music is like a religious ceremony, sound is just a part of it. So it can even be ignored. So John Cage's piece is not absurd When it is performed for the first time in a concert, the audience is in a state of expectation and confusion. It's art.
@@nmnmnm9509 No it's shit
"Also, I just wanna grab that guitars G string and tune it"....I laughed in tears und subscribed
This channel needs to blow up already. Top quality content viking metal jesus beard guy!
The Shags’ recording is so terrible, it sounds like it’s being played backwards. Maybe reversed: Dope stoner metal jam!
it kinda reminds me of neutral milk hotel lol
Playing it backwards could be an improvement. But I am not brave enough to try it.
Love this. F-ing hilarious and original. Plus well executed. Subscribed.
Informative and humorous. Nice job criticizing the song, and not the artist. And I like your professional attitude to make the songs sound better rather than dismiss them completely.
The worst song ever is Gods Plan. Fight me
I will indeed fight thee.
God’s Plan is just cringe, but it’s not the worst song
I'll just fight you for no good reason.
"She say do you love me, I tell her only partly" man even just the lyrics make me cringe in body and soul
Your straight faced laughter is one of the greatest gifts in life, bless you 💖
There is actually an interesting story behind the Shaggs and it is pretty legendary in the genre of "outsider music".
Yeah this dude didnt do much research at all
@Scatter1H Well it does. But you should take the context into consideration
Thanks dude I was blissfully unaware of these songs until I stumbled upon this video. Now I can’t unhear them arghhh!
The shaggers are actually fucking geniuses
The song is called the philosophy of the world and it’s all over the place and sounds like shit.
Kinda like the world when you think about it, the shaggs are geniuses once we go deeper, shred.
Maybe, idk I’m in
A fever state right now and everythings a little wacky
The shaggs were forced to make an album by their abusive father who wanted to profit off of them being pop stars
Just sounds like shit bc they werent ready for the studio
Still a massively important record in history

Dude I think I said it before but I’ll say it again, you need more subscribers man you’re awesome🤟🏻
Given that Rebecca Black was just a kid, and it's been a decade... I think she is still making music - it'd be cool to see the shred mix done with her for the anniversary. I mean... it is catchy.
Lol, I actually like the song... my brain is warped.
That's the thing - Friday (and a bunch of other cringeworthy songs sung by children like "I love chinese food" etc) were written by a shitty company that tricked parents that they could fulfill their kids' pop star dreams. The company got all the money and the kids got all the online hate, essentially.
So the rebecca black songs coming out now is stuff she's actually been part of making as an adult, while friday was part of a whole bunch of conveyor belt nonsense from that company where this particular one just happened to go viral
I HADN'T WATCHED FURTHER IN THE VIDEO AND THERE IT IS! Yeah so the fact that I love chinese food has the same chord progression is NOT a coincidence!
Okay, just my soul? Great brother You are freaking me out!!! Very entertaining stuff you do.
when Friday started there was a 25 seconds unskipable ad, never was so happy
1:33 “this piece of sonic misery” lmfao
Bro went through more torture to make this than Anna in Martyrs.
Sell your soul to Master Shred!
Eff me, this is the best music theory lesson on the whole interwebs. Respect!
I love this content dude, so glad I found this video. The dry evil laugh is amazing 👌🏻😂
This is the perfect youtube channel because of its retro tube qualities
Now this is what I call content. Super subbed
Dirty window’s my favorite off of St. Anger :(
Always loved the main riff and the recessive rhyming. The “I.... I....” part is a bit much tho
Almost the entirety of 'Friday' feels like it was generated by an AI.
I just came across your channel by sheer accident. Best fucking thing ever!
You have cracked me up several times because, let's face it.
Truth be told!
And? you have earned a subscription from yours truly.

Sorry, but The Shaggs are pure progressive art.
They're literally Outsider Art.

When you started in on the Friday song I had never been actually happy to see a timer for an ad pop up until the song began to play.

I unapologetically love Wonderwall.
So does Rick Beato ;) ruclips.net/video/silOU_BvPWc/видео.html
Here, try this instead: ruclips.net/video/1lWJXDG2i0A/видео.html
Wonderwall is great. That said, I never want to hear it again, least of all played by a busker.
I love it too. But as much as salt and pepper can make food tastier, too much of it is bad too. It becomes tiring pretty quickly
The problem is that it's so overplayed that it becomes tiring. It's a good song overall and the recording has a lot of color added into it throughout the track, it's just overplayed so people lose the connection to it. I would say it has standed the test in time because younger generations always pick it up, get obsesed with it, then put it down. It's a vicious cycle that will likely never be broken because younger generations will always find it. Kind of like Smoke in the Water, Enter Sandman, Smells Like Teen Spirit, and Stairway to Heaven.
"I hope you're all enjoying this because it's taking years off of my life"😂😂😂
Hard to say... But beautiful job as always Master!!!
My 1st video on this channel. I'm only halfway through and I already liked it and subscribed to the channel. Also, I needed these laughs today. 🤘🙂
The Shaggs are wrong on a whole different level
0:41 that applies to James Hetfield in concert as well
I play "Friday" at the beginning of class on Fridays. I'm pretty sure my students hate me
Dirty Window is actually one of my favorites songs on st anger, the rhyming chorus lyrics are pretty strange, and the snare is a problem on the whole album, but there are some pretty great riffs in there, covers ive heard have fixed a lot of the problems and it quickly becomes a pretty great song, its not amazing by any means, but I still kinda dig it
Great idea Shred, thanks for the effort and cool video, I'm looking up your other work too! Good luck!
Shred you nailed it. I feel the worst songs are the songs that could be good if they just had some musical correctness and timing issues fixed. You know the songs your ear wants to listen to but your soul flat rejects them completely like a bad liver transplant
