Both are great in their own respects, I think it’s hard to compare them because they sound so different from each other. That’s my opinion though.

Even tool fans think other fans are irritating.

Got into Tool the last 5 years. The Tool fans have mostly been the chilliest Millennials and Gen X’ers I’ve ever met. Maybe online Tool fans 10-20 years ago were a different story 🤷🏻‍♂️

To appreciate Tool, you need an attention span that can outlast a 60 second tic tok clip.

RE: CINCINATI CHILI you should see the 'poutine' that exists, if you watch for it!

It can be a good appetizer. Especially with cheese and sour cream on top and some tortilla chips for dipping. FYI tomato sauce is an ingredient in chili so yeah…

How to say you have never listened to/basically don't like Tool without actually saying it

Your take on classic metal bands like kreator and Sepultura is absolutely spot on one of the only examples of recent times of an old band redoing some of their old shit that sounds just as good is Cavalera conspiracy redoing old Sepultura

I think the first thing that should have tipped you off was having to order chili on a plate.

how could I NOT watch a video with a title like this?

Maybe one day I'll get invited to a barbecue by my good friend Finn Mckenty along with his friend Sugar Ray. I'll bring the bacon chili.

Perfect bacon is chewy AND crispy. I make it perfectly every time. And I’m single.

I love the synchronized "Here's the thing".

Nic Proctor is spot on. Graves dominated as the Misfits frontman.

Being such an avid watcher of all your content and listening to commensurate style of music it should be clear that I don't get invited to a lot of parties. But if I ever do, I'll be telling everyone about my super close homeboy Finn Mckentys second KZread channel

I really like this...way to keep it fresh my man!!

The whole "Tool fan base" thing... the thing is, I think any fanatical fanbase is annoying... lately i've been on a Daft Punk bender and I honestly think Daft Punk fans are the absolute worst, they're completely unhinged and delusional.

I think I watch your second channel more than the main channel I don’t know why I’m here for the impromptu stories

Love these Hot Take videos

I don't know, Finn.... "Lateralus" is a pretty cool song.... I don't think that there are too many bands who could write and record something so splendid and epic.

I think Graves is better then Danzig however I'm an autistic European who also loves power metal so what do I know

Here’s the THING❗️❗️❗️‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

i love watching FInn Mckenty on my lunch break at work

I like Danzig era Misfits the best but some of the Graves songs are really good. They matured with their songwriting and wrote some interesting songs but it’s a whole different thing and I totally understand the blind shitting on Graves-era stuff so all good

Graeter's Ice Cream is top tier stuff. Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip dude.. Cmon now.

10:20 HELL YEA BROTHER (*driving rn*)

11:51 No way , Graves did a great job on American Psycho that was as good as a Misfits album without Danzig could possibly get. I saw them live and it also was an amazing show. It started to suck but started great

Hey Finn do you like Mortician at all? I got their album when the track with the "When there's no more room in hell, the death will walk the earth" sample at the beginning and have always found real joy listening to that band. They're not great, but for some reason they just do it for me. Over the top programmed drums, simple chug riffs and horror movie samples every 45 seconds haha, good stuff. Wondered if you dig them at all?

Best friends with Punk from the Rock MBA

We call spaghetti w/chili "three-way chili".

I also got the Opiate Ep when it first came out. It's still one of my favs. I agree with your comment that their later albums (the last 2) don't do it. All build up with no delivery of the "knockout punch" like the early albums.

Fin I have to give you credit, your opinion is like a warm blanket that feels like home.

I am now going to tell my dad "my friend Finn said" when we talk about music from time to time and I mention your videos. Seriously though, big fan.

I feel so privileged to be able to call you a friend now Finn.

Never ever make fun of Cincinnati chili we eat that shit at least once a week in this household. Love the channel

So, I am your friend. I prefer this channel rather than the main, love the tier lists and deep talks.

The thing about rawer production making the music sound more authentic and heavier is true, and clearly showcased in Sepulturas Morbid Visions and the recent re recordings. Id say the goldielocks zone between raw and great production is the classic Slayer Ric Rubim produced albums

"Dig up her bones" is a bad ass song.

Chili spaghetti looks AMAZING

Dmt Tool and mushrooms, i wish everyone could experience it like we do boys

I really liked Undertow when it came out…I haven’t heard it since the 90’s though so I don’t know if I’d think the same way about it now

Hell yeah, Finn is our friend! 🥳😂 Finn, you're absolutely invited to the BBQ! 😂

That Sepultura album sith skull is my all time favorite metal record from old school. The skeletal (no pun intended) producttion , tight playing , writing all on point. Taking into account knowing how more cool they gonna get in the future makes it even more hard. This is like “Resrvoir Dogs” of Sepultura. Dont know how to explain it.

I always liked Tool but didn’t know them that well until Fear Inoculum finally coming out after 13 years. I like lateralus too.

I’m glad to hear that you’ve finally accepted my friendship, Finn.

Oh man, I agree 100% with the "it work best when they're barely holding it together" opinion. To me that's almost like listening to an improvisation, it feels so much more free and exciting. That's one of the reasons I love NOFX's Animal Liberation, the whole records is on the brink of disaster. That's what hardcore should be imo.

Those two Michael Graves albums were awesome

One of my best friends is from Greece and also lived in Cincinnati... he explained it all to me!

Famous Monsters is fantastic. I like Forbidden Zone and Dust to Dust. I'm going to listen to it right now.

One thing though that I think the Graves era had going for it that the Danzig era lacked were the intro tracks. But that's probably just because most or a handful of my favorite albums all have intros.

Speaking of Sepultura, Max and Igor (Cavalera Conspiracy) rerecording the early albums has been awesome. Morbid Visions, Bestial Devastation, and Schizophrenia still hold that old raw sound but just cleaned up a bit and mastered in a way you can hear it all. They really kept the soul of those albums. It really shows you can record something with todays tech and keep the sound of a late 80's underground release.
