another Hot Take, Lordi is underrated and deserves to be talked about more. i mean they created a 7 album collection of songs themed around the music the band likes and what inspires them, and they did this during the pandemic no less.
I think 2024 is going to be at least in the conversation many years from now as being one of the best years for music. This year has been absolutely fantastic across many different genres of music.
What's funny is none of my Veteran friends like them they not only hate that stereotype but say FFDP is for couch patriots otherwise known as "I would have served if it wasn't for X" folks. I still turn around and fuck with them and tell them their favorite band is dropping new music here and there.
I'd argue that Powerman 5000 is not just an underrated band from the nu-metal era, but also one of the most fun bands from that era to listen to. Their modern material is also very solid.
I LOVED PM5K back in the day. I bought Tonight the Stars Revolt back in 8th grade. I couldn't figure out how bands like limp bizkit and kid rock were so popular but no one knew who Powerman were
Man, i heard this “hot take” and thought to myself “this isn’t a hot take, it’s simply the truth”. There are bands out there that the passage of time did dirty, attention and remembrance wise. PM5K is definitely one of those. They deserved a lot better.
Lars is the right drummer for Metallica. Being an amazing technician or really flashy might impress other drummers but he does what best serves the songs, which is a skill in itself. Kurt Cobain was not a technically skilled guitarist but he played in ways that brought his songs alive, which isn’t something that the best shredders can necessarily do. There’s so much more to being a musician than the notes you play. For example, people love to rag on Ringo Starr but the Beatles’ music would not have been improved by having Neal Pearl-level drumming.
You can have Lars on one hand playing Sad But True or any other big hit or thrash classic from the band just fine, or you’ll have him struggling at something complex like an AJFA song, like his infamous drum fill mistakes live 4 minutes into “The Frayed Ends Of Sanity” which has been memed just like St Anger. I’m not surprised though because AJFA is definitely the most difficult Metallica album Drumwise.
In 1989 or so, most magazine reader polls listed Lars as "the best drummer" in metal, though clearly he never really was. But he was in the biggest, baddest band of the time. I agree he's fine enough, but metal has always had much better drummers (Gene Hoglan immediately jumps to mind). I also would argue Lars was influential because he was doing the double bass stuff pretty early on in thrash's existence.
I'm 80th I can see the same kind of perspective that's applied to many other former pure metalcore bands or bands that had their metalcore phases. You hear that with Bring Me The Horizon as well. Yeah that's a big stretch of a claim for anyone to say that Mushroomhead is above or on par with Slipknot. Mushroomhead used to have been a mostly underground group while Slipknot was aiming to be noticed, there was a difference. Slipknot got more recognition while Mushroomhead bathed away until one of their albums got noticed enough to where they saw some shine. Megadeth stopped being a contender of the Big Four right around after the 90s, their consistency in the creative department was fluctuating wildly throughout the 2000s and 2010s. It's no surprise anymore why people nowadays have second thoughts on Megadeth being a part of the Big Four. I think that's someone pulling your chain, Luke, with this one. They knew of all of the videos and comments you've made of this band so they went for the throat here. I'm going to agree as well on the In This Moment take, while I do think In This Moment has more in the tank, it's only looking like Blood is the only top-tier album because of so-so performance of albums after it. They can do better and god please stay away from covers if you can't do them.
Dang I never check the community pages on the channels I follow. Anyway, here's mine anyway: Disturb's only album that was consistently good from beginning to end was their first.
Just recently started to get into Powerman 5000. Really wish they were a little more popular, just so I could talk to some people about them. But I also like that they are lesser known cuz it feels more personal of an experience to listen to
I don't know if it counts as metal or rock or both, but my hot take (that i've seen get met with so much backlash so i tend to stay away from the fans.) Avantasia. As much as i love the Metal Opera (parts 1 and 2) i rarely if ever actually go back and listen to those albums. I prefer everything that came afterwards because i feel like the Lost in Space EP and Scarecrow album is where Avantasia really found its identity. I especially love the Ghostlights, Moonglow, and Moonflower Society albums. I cannot stress enough that i don't think Metal Opera is bad, heck the title alone is what drew me to listen to it in the first place. It's just not the best work. Tobias Sammet himself has even said something similar to what i've said about preferring the later stuff and he tends to get allot of pushback for saying it and it does get heated.
As much as I loathe how their management is aggressively trying to make them this generation’s KISS (in the derogatory way), BABYMETAL is still one of the diamond standards of the past decade for most fun shows to attend.
The only. Reason I think Jason was a better basist than rob is because there are a lot of songs that when performed live. Require a secondary vocalist and rob. Just can't cut it the way Jason could.
Spider One of PM5K is more musically creative than his brother Rob Zombie. Rob, though I love his music, is stuck doing horror influenced metal while Spyder has gone into punk and 80s synth while still keeping the unique PM5K sound.
I love 5FDP... but I will admit that there are better metal bands out there like Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, Judas Priest, etc. I also agree that Powerman 5000 deserved better. Also, my hot take is Redeemer of Souls is the best Judas Priest album.
Surprised my take was covered. When mean on par I mean I like the both equally I prefer slipknot for emotional reasons but I love both and there albums with Waylon and Jeffrey nothing are just as iconic in my opinion.
My thoughts with Beartooth or with the name like that you should be heavier sounding I don’t mind them or their music. I just expected them to be heavier.
You know, I started pondering the "Who is the least interesting/talented" of the Big Four, and I narrowed it down to two bands, those being Anthrax and Megadeth. But, like you said, over the 25 years or so, the work from Megadeth has gotten much worse as the band changes musical chairs around Dave. Sure, they had Rust in Peace in everything before it and, even Youthanasia in 1994 was good, but in my mind, Anthrax actually got better with age. We've Come for You All, released in 2003, was solid, but with the band removing Bush and going back to Belladonna, they just played more loose, free, and had more fun with 2011's Worship Music and 2016's For All Kings. And, yes, definitely agreed that Reverence and Darker Still get overrhated by "fans" of the band and the genre in general. I actually rather liked Reverence upon its release, thought it was a good follow-up to Ire, although it did take me a bit to get into Darker Still, but I enjoyed it. F5DP is the Taylor Swift of Metal...there, I said it. 😂🤣 PM5K absolutely deserved better, as Spider moved away from the Nu-Metal and Sc-Fi look and influence and started adding punk rock, hard rock, and synth/new wave inspirations to his ever-changing band. Top three Deftones albums to me are Diamond Eyes, Koi No Yokan, and, yes, White Pony. Two albums you will NEVER see there are the self-titled and Gore.
Not a hot take to say Lars is a good drummer it is however a hot take to be Mojo and say Lars is a Top 3 drummer over Danny Carey or Joey Jordison ruclips.net/video/apdhNta309w/видео.html
My personal Hot take: Tony Martin is underrated/overhated as lead singer in Black Sabbath. His performances were always pretty solid, he made at least two pretty good albums with them (Headless Cross and Tyr, I admit Eternal Ídolo was kinda ass) and he wasn't the main problem the band had during those years. People just like to point fingers and blame one guy rather than look at the fact the band had been suffering from revolving door syndrome for a decade at that point.
I’m honestly shocked that you didn’t mention my comment about Ronnie Radke. When I saw the post for this video I for sure thought that it would be on here
@@joshuacoleman8000 it was about how Ronnie, a transphobe, had Blaire White, a trans woman, in his music video for All My Life and that if he’s such a transphobe then why did he have her in his video
@@zachlowe5096 Because Blaire's a transphobe herself. Yes, minorities can hate themselves and other people in their minority, and Blaire's a firmly right wing/strong conservative mouthpiece who acts as their pet "See, even THEY* think transgenderism goes too far!"... But something tells me you knew that already (*Because there's a good enough chance that she's not getting correctly gendered by the average member of the conservative crowd she's appealing to)
To be honest, Dave Mustaine's singing immediately turned me off to any attempt at exploring their music. I just can't get past his excruciating vocals to possible enjoy the music.
About the megadeth is the worst of the big four thing, I personally don't agree, I thought the sick the dying and the dead was pretty good and they made rust in peace(which in my opinion is the greatest thrash album I have ever heard), peace sells, and endgame which i think are pretty good
Rap in metal can become better if the so-called rappers in the band have ability of rap like Kdot, Pusha T, Freddie Gibbs, Vince Staples, early career Eminem... not those frat boy rapping with cringe, annoying lyric
This is something we really need if Rap Metal was to be taken seriously as a genre. The closest band to have the ability to rap like an MC with Metal guitars is Linkin Park with Mike Shinoda
Lars is a good drummer on albums like Load and the Black Album and is bad on albums like Master of Puppets. Simply put, he is not a bad drummer, he is a bad thrash drummer
Trying to rank the Big 4 requires a lot of context - are we talking certain eras? Overall? Or just personal taste? Because peak Megadeth was really something. Also, 5FDP is the best after you have chugged five consecutive Monster energy drinks while nearly choking out on the flag you're waving.
Self-Titled Deftones is the heaviest Deftones album. Lyrical and Musically. No one can change my mind. 9 out of 11 tracks is still the majority. Anniversary and Lucky You are still awesome songs too.
I very rarely judge people or think less of them for liking metal bands that I dislike...except 5FDP...I can and will judge, along with every right minded metal fan out there 😂
I just realized Anthrax is the only band of the big 4 I still pay close attention to. They were definitely my favorite as they were the first I heard back in 1988 or so. No disrespect to Slayer of course. Metallica and Megadeth just became mostly irrelevant to me at a certain point. Oh, I do want to mention I'm the over 50 guy who still goes to shows, gets up front and always tries to give new material a fair shake. There's too much good stuff out there to stick to my teenage favorites for the rest of my life!
I saw Deftones live at Summer Sanitarium back in the day, and they rank amongst the worst live performances I’ve ever seen, and that was in a concert with Limp Bizkit in the line up. It was lifeless, mixed awfully, and ultimately mostly forgettable. It was so bad I took their songs off my playlist (well the early 2000’s equivalent anyway).
Right there with you, buddy. I never think to listen to it anymore and haven't for probably 25 years or more. (I bought it when it came out, which means I'm kinda old now)
When I was in HS you either liked Metallica or you liked Megadeth. You weren't allowed to like both without ridicule. So, as a Megadeth hater, I agree they're over-rated.
Was never really a big Powerman 5000 fan at all tbh. I liked Worlds Collide but not much else. The song they did for Shadow the Hedgehog, “Almost Dead”, is legitimately their worst by a country mile and is generally considered the worst Sonic Vocal track.
@@RockedNet saw testament in 2022 and seeing them again with Kreator and Possessed in October and in November i will be seeing Wasp Death Angel and Unto Others will be some great shows
WTF?! Megadeth is not by any means the worst of the Big 4. Anthrax is the worst of the big 4. They're a joke compared to the others. Hell, They're a joke compared to most metal bands period.
Ok maybe he’s not great but if you say he’s not influential or not legendary then it’s clear you have no idea what you’re talking about and shouldn’t mention his drumming
Megadeth is my least favourite of the Big 4. Slayer is probably my favourite, with classic Metallica not far behind, but even Slayer has a couple stinkers. I like the new Metallica stuff but it's too bloated for regular listening. The last 2 Anthrax albums were the best last 2 releases from all 4 bands. I'm not a fan of the last 4 Megadeth albums, Dystopia being the best. It might be to his detriment that Dave is the most prolific.
Metallica bass players. I cane to know Metallica after Cliff's death. I am a fan of Jason, Robert... good player... but tries too hard when he is on stage.
Megadeth is the world of big four?? WTF? Not Anthrax?? Really?? Also, dystopia, and the sick, the dying and the dead are not in the same level as their past albums, but are good THRASH albums.. So, you tell me , from the big four of THRASH metal, which band STILL plays thrash ?? Just take a look in Metallica's last albums, they are not playing thrash anymore, and Anthrax?? They haven't release a descent album in the past twenty years.. So your hot take is pointless. Megadeth keeps thrash alive, clearly!
What's your metal hot take?

@@user-jk9jc4zc3n There can be an argument for that.
Ghost is Metal, no matter how much the elitists deny the band is a Metal band. sure they're more HEAVY Metal, but still Metal.

That 5FDP checklist needs to become more common online because of how accurate it is (although I would have added something about veterans in there)
I do hope it gets shared out.
they're the nickelback of heavy metal.

@7:26 : Calling Powerman 5000 Nu-Metal? That's a Hot Take!

Mushroomhead is amazing. Coming from the ultimate Maggot.
Absolutely the same here! \m/
I absolutely hate that the song that introduced me to Powerman 5000 ("Almost Dead" from the Shadow the Hedgehog OST) isn't available on streaming
@rockednet you need to get another photo of corey in slipknots current era, but i love the pictures you've got in the back. Good photography
I need to rotate the photos out again, but many of them are in storage.

Say what you will about Brutal Legends as far as gameplay goes , when it comes to its soundtrack, it doesn’t mess around
Amazing video.
Mushroom head is awesome, not better not worse but awesome😂😂❤
yeah, i dont think that they need to be ranked like that. Slipknot is simply the more successful of the two.
Not sure how hot this take is but here it goes:
Anthrax’s Worship Music is the best Big 4 album on this side of the Millenium
I don't know if it counts as metal or rock or both, but my hot take (that i've seen get met with so much backlash so i tend to stay away from the fans.)
Avantasia. As much as i love the Metal Opera (parts 1 and 2) i rarely if ever actually go back and listen to those albums. I prefer everything that came afterwards because i feel like the Lost in Space EP and Scarecrow album is where Avantasia really found its identity. I especially love the Ghostlights, Moonglow, and Moonflower Society albums.

Tobias Sammet himself has even said something similar to what i've said about preferring the later stuff and he tends to get allot of pushback for saying it and it does get heated.
My take: We need more artists/bands like Ghost, Andrew W.K., or Babymetal to remind people that music is supposed to be fun.
As much as I loathe how their management is aggressively trying to make them this generation’s KISS (in the derogatory way), BABYMETAL is still one of the diamond standards of the past decade for most fun shows to attend.
Babymetal will be tough to imitate or have another band similar to them, because it will be a never ending comparison to babymetal.

Disagree with the Beartooth album but I think it’s The best Beartooth album for sure.

To be honest, Dave Mustaine's singing immediately turned me off to any attempt at exploring their music. I just can't get past his excruciating vocals to possible enjoy the music.
This. I can get behind it instrumentally but Mustaine ruins it for me.
My hot take is that Lovebites is the best metal band in the world currently.
Still love that debut album.
@RockedNet judgment day is such a great album also. I cant wait to see them in America.
Alright 71 opinions about the big 4
1, uh…I forgot. So I’ll just say Dark Side isn’t PF’s best album, it’s Animals.
About the megadeth is the worst of the big four thing, I personally don't agree, I thought the sick the dying and the dead was pretty good and they made rust in peace(which in my opinion is the greatest thrash album I have ever heard), peace sells, and endgame which i think are pretty good
For Megadeth. Dystopia is a great album TSDATD yeah there’s only like 2 or 3 songs that are good on that album.
Lars is a good drummer and James is the table.
We are all the table.

I think Adrenaline is Deftones best album...
I know many Deftones fans who agree with you.
Trying to rank the Big 4 requires a lot of context - are we talking certain eras? Overall? Or just personal taste? Because peak Megadeth was really something.
Also, 5FDP is the best after you have chugged five consecutive Monster energy drinks while nearly choking out on the flag you're waving.
Five Consecutive Monsters is a recipe for a heart attack at age 30.

The more I look back, the stronger I feel about Megadeth after the 90's.
I just realized Anthrax is the only band of the big 4 I still pay close attention to. They were definitely my favorite as they were the first I heard back in 1988 or so. No disrespect to Slayer of course. Metallica and Megadeth just became mostly irrelevant to me at a certain point.
Oh, I do want to mention I'm the over 50 guy who still goes to shows, gets up front and always tries to give new material a fair shake. There's too much good stuff out there to stick to my teenage favorites for the rest of my life!
Hoping for new Anthrax soon. It's been a long while.
I saw Deftones live at Summer Sanitarium back in the day, and they rank amongst the worst live performances I’ve ever seen, and that was in a concert with Limp Bizkit in the line up. It was lifeless, mixed awfully, and ultimately mostly forgettable. It was so bad I took their songs off my playlist (well the early 2000’s equivalent anyway).
Deftones can be quite hit and miss live. The sound mixing for Chino is always difficult I believe. I've seen them be great also though.
Lars isn't a bad drummer. But he is an incredibly boring one.
I miss Jason in Metallica.
My metal hot take is and justice for all is a meh album.
Right there with you, buddy. I never think to listen to it anymore and haven't for probably 25 years or more. (I bought it when it came out, which means I'm kinda old now)
Lars is an excellent drummer. He's just not the greatest person.
When I was in HS you either liked Metallica or you liked Megadeth. You weren't allowed to like both without ridicule. So, as a Megadeth hater, I agree they're over-rated.
Don''t limit yourself to one thing
Anthrax is the best of the big 4
Hot Take: -core genres are superior to metal.
Was never really a big Powerman 5000 fan at all tbh. I liked Worlds Collide but not much else. The song they did for Shadow the Hedgehog, “Almost Dead”, is legitimately their worst by a country mile and is generally considered the worst Sonic Vocal track.
Those later Sonic games really did a lot of damage to humanity.
Megadeth is the BEST of the Big Four ... unless you look at them live, they've always been horrible live.
i think megadeth's last 3 albums are the only weak albums in their catalogue.
Hot take:Megadeth is shit always has been
Testament and Kreator are the best Thrash Metal bands
Saw testament live in 2015. It was wild.
@@RockedNet saw testament in 2022 and seeing them again with Kreator and Possessed in October and in November i will be seeing Wasp Death Angel and Unto Others will be some great shows
WTF?! Megadeth is not by any means the worst of the Big 4. Anthrax is the worst of the big 4. They're a joke compared to the others. Hell, They're a joke compared to most metal bands period.
I think we can all compromise on "Lars is a drummer"
I cannot argue that definition.
I strongly agree that Megadeth sucks.
They will always be my most hated thrash band of not just the Big 4, but the entire sub genre!
Ok maybe he’s not great but if you say he’s not influential or not legendary then it’s clear you have no idea what you’re talking about and shouldn’t mention his drumming
"OK maybe he's not great but he's still legendary!" Roller coasters must have rattled your brain, dork.
Megadeth is my least favourite of the Big 4. Slayer is probably my favourite, with classic Metallica not far behind, but even Slayer has a couple stinkers. I like the new Metallica stuff but it's too bloated for regular listening. The last 2 Anthrax albums were the best last 2 releases from all 4 bands. I'm not a fan of the last 4 Megadeth albums, Dystopia being the best. It might be to his detriment that Dave is the most prolific.
Metallica bass players. I cane to know Metallica after Cliff's death. I am a fan of Jason, Robert... good player... but tries too hard when he is on stage.
Megadeth is the world of big four?? WTF? Not Anthrax?? Really?? Also, dystopia, and the sick, the dying and the dead are not in the same level as their past albums, but are good THRASH albums.. So, you tell me , from the big four of THRASH metal, which band STILL plays thrash ?? Just take a look in Metallica's last albums, they are not playing thrash anymore, and Anthrax?? They haven't release a descent album in the past twenty years.. So your hot take is pointless. Megadeth keeps thrash alive, clearly!
Cory Taylor is the most overrated singer of all time and fans need to stop acting like he is gods gift to metal
Hottakke, all over your face.
... something something opinion something something.
My forever hot take is that Mike Shinoda's vocals ruined LP, especially his rap parts.
