@@flamehaze59absolutely. I also got into Maiden after being into heavier bands. I went back in time and fell in love with the older bands too. Maiden is still one of my favourite bands ever 🤘
@@dialectik They're my all time favorite. Saw them last September and they slayed. I'm waiting for them to announce the US leg of their Future Past tour.
@@MetalGildarts saw them in London in July. One of the best times I've seen them. The whole entrance with blade Runner and caught somewhere in time was killer 🤘😎
I love how he acknowledges the people who respond on his livestreams, but with the least amount that has to, then if they say something he disagrees with says they're wrong in a matter of fact way and moves along. It's hilarious
Damn Right, excellent right hand technique and he keeps that bass low too, and this guy, Megadeth terrible?? Heard a song didn't like it and labeled them terrible. I don't get this gas bag
@@danzemacabre8899right, this man's taste in metal is HIGHLY questionable at least, I mean he doesn't like the Heartwork album from Carcass! Megadeth and Testament are my 2 favorite metal bands because of how different they were/are from all the other 80's thrash bands!
It takes a comedic miss like the "British silent T" bit to remind me how 99% of Finn's other comedy is reliable gold. I would pay to hear him freestyle ramble on a stage with a mic stand, wood stool and bottle of water.
My gateway band was Disturbed. I don't even remember when I found them, but they were the first metal band I really got into. Although my initial introduction to metal was playing Guitar Hero with my cousins.
Surprised Finn hasn’t dived more into guitar hero and rock band. It was rocks last hurrah, and introduced alot of young kids to different types of rock.
@noshttaken yeah. I always played the metal stuff because it was generally the hardest stuff in those games, so I'm not surprised that I quickly wanted to listen to more.
Caught them opening for freaking Kittie over 20 years ago. Shortly before or after the debut album dropped, was a good show. Actually going with to see them Labor Day weekend coming up, weirdly enough.
Danzig was my metal music gateway. I was also into goth/new wave and punk music at the time. Saw Danzig in 92, best show I have ever been to. In high school in the late 80's I got into Cream and The Doors. So it was a progression for me.
The secret to Suffer the Children by Napalm Death is that the two guitarists played the ryth. They were both unconsciously playing different riffs without nailing it. I tried recreating it with different gear so my tone was off but my playing was too tight. I mentioned that I suspected that to Mitch Harris and he laughed and said that's exactly what happened. So the whole riff is like warped and smeared which makes it sound GODLIKE. They were also not intonated the same so it sounds like a phasing chorus thing. Great video by the way. How good was Anthrax back then? CL80 celestion FTW. Guitar nrrdz like me ruined meh_ul.
That's a foundational album, Harmony Corruption! It really just hit at the right time for me. First time I ever heard a blast beat. RIP Jesse Pintado who was a riff machine.
On the topic of Black Sabbath, correct me if I'm wrong but I think Iommi tuned his guitar down to make it easier for him to play after he cut his fingertip off in a machine shop. I would guess the less string tension would help in that situation
Yeah he cut his fingertips off in a sheet metal factory incident right before leaving to tour Germany with his other band. He almost gave up music but then decided to persevere after hearing a Django Reinhardt record that his boss gave him. So he fashioned plastic fingertips and glued leather strips for traction. Sabbath’s first two albums were in standard tuning but after a couple years of constant touring Tony Iommi was in constant pain after gigs. So for the recording of Master of Reality he dropped the tuning one and a half steps down and strung his guitar with lighter banjo strings. They accidentally created sludge metal out of convenience lol
Truly, Finn is a POSUER. On a serious note, I disagree about Black Sabbath: they are a great band because the songs are amazing, not only due to the heavyness.
Linkin Park was my official start of my love for heavier stuff (Hybrid Theory/Meteora) but my 1st "metal" I ever listened to was old Motley Crue (Dr. Feelgood). Slipknot soon followed (MFKR, Iowa, Subliminal Verses) and I never looked back lol
Rise against was my introduction into heavy music, Ready To Fall had harsh vocals in the pre chorus and got me accustomed to that style. The 3 metal songs I really got into which evolved my music taste forever was.... Trivium - Becoming The Dragon. Bullet For My Valentine - The Poison. Atreyu - Falling Down. Slipknot - Subliminal Verses was the 1st album I ever bought. But yeah Rise Against was my gateway, and now I fuck with Suicide Silence, Kublai Khan, Born of Osirus etc. because of them.
Finn's feelings are so hurt over the metal people gate keeping him. I think its time to heal that wound and give Finn a big hug....its okay the metal people love you as well, Finn.
Megadeth has been my favorite band for 32 years. # 2 is Testament, then Slayer, then Pantera, and Death rounds out my Top 5. Rust in Peace is my favorite album of all time.
As much as I love metal, I acknowledge my life would have been lots easier if I listened to mainstream music. There is just too much negativity in metal, it's simply not healthy for the mind.
This is so true. Anyone who tries to get their friends to enjoy metal is a cruel bastard. Let them enjoy their normal functional life and don't drag them down into your mess.
Mustaine naming his new band Megadeth after being ousted from Metallica reminds me of when former Atari employees in the 80s left to create Activision, choosing that specific name so that they'd alphabetically show up in the phone book before Atari. Same energy.
I don't consider Guns n' Roses hair metal because I don't consider them metal at all. Rather, they're a continuation of hard rock - following in the footsteps of bands like Aerosmith. Hell, their original EP covered an Aerosmith song. I'm not mad. They did tour with Metallica and they're heavier than a lot of hair metal bands so I see the logic in calling them hair metal.
i met rob halford, he was really cool. when my dad was in the navy he gave halford a tour of the battle ship USS Milius. Halford gave me and my dad front row seats to a concert they had at SDSU and he wore my dads captain hat (navy hat, idk what its calledd) and gave us a shoutout. I wont forget that
the thing about Death MEtal and all that extreme stuff that followed is that it wasn't borderline mainstream enough to get airplay and ACTUALLY piss people off. It just sits in obscurity and has NO effect.
crazy how i grew up around death and black metal being played around me since i was in the womb because of my parents. and now as an almost 17 year old, im obsessed with nu and heavy metal 😭😭
Papa Finn can mention every sub genre in the universe but for him it's too borderline to admit it. He knows a lot let me tell ya. Love you Finn! Greetings from Italy.
As a kid Im glad I started musically with the old stuff and worked my way towards modern day, I got to assess each wave as a whole that way, but Finn is right about it being difficult to make your tastes go backward.
Deep Purple "In Rock" beat Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath's actual metal album was 1971 "Master of [what was it?]", while "In Rock" was released in 1970. "In Rock" was fast an ferocious, while Black Sabbath was slow. When I think of metal, it's WAY more often Fast than slow.
Metal starter pack : Metallica Iron Maiden Slayer Expansion pack : Pantera Judas Priest Death Expansion pack 2 : Slipknot Avenged Sevenfold Suicide Silence & sure throw in Black Sabbath for the history lesson that brings it to an even 10 bands
Metal history lesson: Black Sabbath Dio Venom Starter pack: Metallica Iron Maiden Megadeth Expansion pack: Testament Judas Priest Pantera Slayer Expansion pack 2: Rammstein System of a down KoRn Slipknot
12:50 Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero have been largely responsible for Anthrax’s sound on albums, and when I think of the thrash “chug,” I always think of Anthrax riffs. “Persistence of time” is THE most well-produced thrash album imo. They always get the BASS TONE right.
It’s crazy how many crazy good musicians were in hair metal bands when you think about it. So many amazing guitar players from that era. Every band seemingly had that one guy who could melt your face off with a guitar. Lol
As much as people rag on Nu metal I would actually say it's one of the best metal subgenres to introduce people to metal, it's got heavy riffs but it's not to technical and pretty simplified in both the writing and song structures, catchy lyrics that use alot of cleans. I dunno I know a ton of people that got into metal through bands like Korn and Slipknot
Motorhead were the band that got me as a kid, and they remained a cool band all through out my adulthood unlike many of the other 80s bands I liked as a kid
In Europe (France and Germany for what i know)when you play in a motorcycle club, you have to play Born To Be Wild or your kicked out without beeing paid ^^
This was bang on. Been playing me_al for almost 30 years and I am sad to see where the genre has gone. No songs anymore, just riff salads with fast noise gates and drum vsts.
I love Dream Theater and I don't play any instruments. Admittedly my brother actually got me into them and he played the drums back in the day but I never did and I still love them. Train of Thought is my favorite album of theirs, it's also considered their heaviest album, at least from their early years. If there's any Dream Theater album you might actually appreciate Finn it very well could be it, strongly recommend it for people who like the heavier metals and aren't really into prog.
Steppenwolf is great. Exactly one of the bands that led me on this path. A lot of your perspective is strongly age related. At 52 it was different exposure to the genre when younger.
On a side note, 20mins into this video and I swear, no joke, there’s been 5 million ads and Ive had to restart a dozen times because every time an ad comes on, it effs up the feed and I lose video, or it wont reload. ARGH! RUclips sucks.
Well, you *can* go backwards. My introduction to metal was Arch Enemy, Immortal, Marduk and Masters Hammer. Ive spent years listening to this kind of things and only after that I discovered Black Sabbath and other "dinosaurs" and I loved it. Especially after I did acid a couple of times lately my love for Black Sabbath reached a completely new level - Sabotage and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath are INCREDIBLE albums to listen to while tripping.
Yooo I was the same way with the Sabbath journey, I started off with nu metal and punk, it wasn't until I was out of highschool that I got into Sabbath. I felt so guilty. So yeah this is the ultimate guide to being a proud metal head, it will develop your ear and help you create good music if you ever start a band.
The starter kit for me ? When i was a kid and heard a Rock band for the first time. It was Queen on TV performing "We Will Rock You/ We Are The Champions". Next i saw The Who's music video for "Who Are You", then Rush's "Tom Sawyer", then finally i heard Black Sabbath, Rush, Iron Maiden then Metallica. I was hooked !
what you're missing about priest, is everything after 1979 is delivered with tongues planted FIRMLY in cheek and a lot of wink wink nudge nudge. that's why it all looks like an ironic joke. the 3 album run from 77-79 is untouchable in metal. i fully agree with the rest of this, but helloween are fucking FUN
I remember seeing Scott Ian on Rock n Roll Jeopardy. I forget what other more popular notable people he was playing against but Scott nearly answered every question. Super smart dude. Not smart enough to stay away from the 1 marijuanas...
In one of your other videos you mentioned Fear Factory as being underrated and I couldn't agree more. I would definitely mention them as precursors of djent. I can't believe people can't hear it when listening to FF 😊
Absolutely! No idea why FF get so overlooked in this sense. Dino Cazares and Raymond Herrera are the godfathers of djent. Would be amazing if they teamed up again, one last time and got all the OG members back.
Don't put that kinda evil on FF, they shred way too hard with way too much distortion to even be mildly associated with djent. If anything, I'd say Dream Theater is the precursor for djent.

A lot of that tone Anthrax uses is from Frankie Bello holding down the low end. Dudes a highly underrated bassist.
And Charlie is God tier drummer. Better than Dave because he's so diverse
hell yes! finger style thrash, well mostly. his esp looks pretty chill too
That’s why Helmet hired him for a while as their bassist.

Rob Halford Trojan-horsing leather into metal is the greatest "playing the long game" joke ever.
he’s not even into leather in his personal life!

Steppenwolf is great. Exactly one of the bands that led me on this path. A lot of your perspective is strongly age related. At 52 it was different exposure to the genre when younger.
