Good video but I can’t believe you didn’t mention the Hurrian Hymn which was discovered in the 1950s on a clay tablet inscribed with Cuneiform text and is the oldest surviving melody at over 3,400 years old. Without this there would be no metal. Unsubscribing

why was Pantera not mentioned once?? they gave us the birth of groove metal and probably was the most influential metal band in the 90´s... it's actually sad how underappreciated they are considering how important they were to the metal scene and metal history in general. they are the reason so many of us got into metal in the first place in the 90´s and 2000´s

They aren’t under appreciated, they’re one of the biggest names in metal and could be considered main stream at this point. Maybe a lot of people into metal don’t like Panteras style ( I listened to them when I was younger but don’t like these days) but anyway, once a band is big enough to have people who know the name without ever having listened to them, I don’t think you can be considered unappreciated at that point

Sry to brake it to you, but Pantera weren't the most influential metal band in the 90's. Probably they were for you, but in the whole metal scene??? Not even close. Here are some bands i could think of who released their debut albums in the 90's. Immortal, Marduk, Darkthrone, At the gates, Decide, Benediction, Dissection, Emperor and many many many more. If the 80's were the golden era of Thrash metal, then the 90's were the golden era of Black and Death metal.

I'm 64 years old. I was there... for all of it (even stationed in Germany and going to festivals/concerts in England). I know you couldn't possibly name all the great bands of the last 55 years, even if you did another 40 minute video where you just started reading names off a list. What you have done here? This is wonderful. It is GLORIOUS. It's also... a great start. You could make a series of videos that focused on a specific era, you could make a series focusing on each genre of metal...

I'm actually surprised Pantera was not mentioned once in this video. They were pretty much the only big metal band in the early 1990s. I know the younger generation of metalheads are pretty much trying to erase Pantera out of existent but I mean when albums like Vulgar Display and Far Beyond came out, all the bands from the 80s were considered old news and bands like Korn were still just starting out and a whole generation of metalheads got into metal through Pantera. I also he felt he under estimated and basically ignored the influence of metalcore and left out important stuff from that scene that helped shaped metal today. Things like Mayhem Fest and Warped Tour and all that and also no mention of bands like HIM, Children of Bodom, Avenged Sevenfold or Bring Me The Horizon. Also no mention of Blue Cheer.

I’m so glad I lived in a time that Heavy Metal existed.

Appreciate the fact that you call out the fact that grunge didn't kill metal. Hair metal was never going to last, and was overexposed, meanwhile, Metallica still went strong, but alot of big bands dealt with inner turmoil...... that said as you also mentioned, the underground had some major bands forming, or about to blow up. Want to add, I wouldn't consider ghost a metal band. I'm not using that as an insult, but more mentioning their sound is more of a classic hard rock sound with some metal aspects popping up.

Listened to everything from Led Zeppelin to local bands like Left End, Link, Lazarus, Zaza (NE Ohio) and Avatar (later called Savatage) and Crimson Glory (Central Florida), and all the other iconic bands of the 1960s to 2020s.

I think a fair chunk of those other bands would at least acknowledge Pantera as existing, if not a major influence on metal in the 90s. I'm not even that into a lot of metal and even I know that's a glaring omission. Anyway, let's not get fucking hostile. I'm away to listen to Meshuggah.

I survived stage diving at a Danzig concert and I'm a better man today for it. Navigating the mosh pit while Slayer played Reign in Blood helped as well.

Very good. In 38 minutes you were more thorough than many 3 hour documentaries I've seen. And great sense of humor...

Maiden is not only touring but they sound incredible. Great video. Well thought out and produced. Subbed.

I think this is pretty good crafted, probably the more accurate I've seen on YT. Let me do a couple of minor corrections that overall doesn't affect the accuracy of this: Faith No More is way older than nu metal bands by at least a decade, and was considered at the time "funk metal" and later, in the 2000's, was being called "alternative metal"; and folk metal started as such with English band Skyclad; while you can make the case for Sepultura, I think it's more accurate to put Skyclad at the beginning of the genre. Besides that, I think this is really good done.

I have to say this is possibly the most entertaining metal doc that I’ve seen. Your sense of humor injects just the right amount of comic relief into the video to keep it from being too serious. I’d like to see a more in depth version of your video that goes further back into the musical history. But, it would require your humor and opinions because that’s what made this one so unique and enjoyable. Great job on this one!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but before the influx of multiple labels of genres of metal, there were four genres i remember mentioned Thrash, Glam, one I can't remember, and Power metal. Bands like Maiden, Priest, Dio etc were considered Power Metal, being a heavier form of hard rock vs Metallica, Megadeth etc being thrash and on and on. This would have been around '84/'85. I was in my mid teens then and remember the early 80s when metal was still considered a little underground until Slippery When Wet came out in '85 or so.

Thank you for the reverence you showed for Lemmy and Motorhead, the greatest heavy band that ever existed.

Leaving Blue Cheer’s first album, 67’s Vincebus Eruptum, out of the story I think leaves out the Bay Area’s early influence on heavy music. I would argue Possessed were ahead of the Florida bands by a few years as far as being a death metal band. I think one of their demos was called Death Metal. The song is on their first album, Seven Churches, released in 85. Death sounded very similar but their first album didn’t come out til 87 I think? I’ll have to look to make sure.

ive been a metalhead for 20 years now and ive watched a large number of documentaries and metal histories but this one is hands down the most accurate depiction of what i consider the most important movements within metal history to be. I think the only major subgenres you didn't talk about where sludge metal and the later post metal scenes in the 90s and 00s. bit of an omission in my opinion.

As an official 80s Poser, I would like to show up to your thrash metal concert and start a brawl over your brushing over the impact of the genre. While the glam has die out, the music styles and lyrics didn't. And if you're going to include KISS as one of the founders of shock rock and metal (they were hard rock, always were), then you can't just gloss over glam. Influences for bands like Guns N Roses and Motley Crue were some of the same influences other "harder metal" bands of the time were citing in personal and want ads.

The only band that Grunge produced better than any other,,Alice in Chains

The video should have also mentioned the alternative metal phenomenon of the late 80s and early 90s (JAnes Addiction, Soundgarden, Faith no More, etc)

Thank you so much!

This was very well done. Really quite thorough for a 38 minute summary, and not hopelessly US-centric like so many similar documentaries. And if this guy only started listening in the 2000s he did a pretty job of covering the previous ~30 years fairly. I learned a few things here and am just checking out Carcass's Heartbeat.

This is easily one of the best histories of metal I have encountered on the internet. Please keep making more content like this!

Great video and great way to visit memory lane! Thanks!

🤘🏼great video🤘🏼 The 90's were a defining period of Metal for me. I really became a metalhead here, discovering the history of Sepultura and Pantera, hearing Machine Head and FF for the 1st time, and discovering hardcore like Biohazard and Sick of It All. I also got to see Slayer and FF in a 900 person club and Judas Priest and Dream Theater (diff shows) in a 400 seat bar. The 90s were the best for me.

Saying that Swedish melodic death metal was influenced by Carcass Heartwork is a bit of a stretch considering that Gothenburg had a scene going for years before that album came out, and Arch Enemy (which was formed only because Japan wanted Michael Amott to do more albums like Heartwork) didn't arrive until later. There were also other bands in Europe mixing Death Metal with melody like Amorphis, Sentenced, and arguably My Dying Bride although they are more Doom and gothic than death metal.

Great job showcasing all the different genres of Heavy Metal bands! I'm from the generation X period, and agree the 80's was the blossom of true Heavy Metal. There was just one Metal band you didn't mention in this video that "saved" Metal according to Scott Ian from Anthrax, and that was Pantera!

Very nicely done. it's not easy too cram 50+ years of metal history into 38 minutes.

You should be a journalist or narrate more videos like this! Your a natural and your comedic lines are set perfectly throughout your narrative. This is awesome! This could be on TV!

There's a handful of bands that dropped a little influence that had major impacts inadvertently,one of which is probably the best at never compromise ....The Melvins such a unique sound with one of the greatest drummers who gets overlooked constantly. The other was the Plasmatics. RIP WOW. Anyway I liked this take and looking forward to more vids.

The roots of heavy metal date back much further than Sabbath. The genre has its roots in blues music and blues rock with acts likes The Yardbirds (with Led Zeppelin originally meant as a new version of), garage rock, and psychedelic/acid rock with acts like Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Also, bands like Vanilla Fudge, Blue Cheer, and Iron Butterfly were releasing metal songs before Sabbath. Even bands that normally weren't metal like The Beatles and King Crimson released tracks that could be seen as metal songs in retrospect. This is still a good overview, but a little too simpfied regarding the origins of the genre.

Heavy metal is a heavier form of rock n roll. Its roots are musicians like Little Richards and Chuck Berry. Johnny B Goode has metal riffs with less distortion. Hard rock, punk, metal, new wave, grunge ecc... all of them are rock n' roll with different approaches. Fast, slow, heavy, soft it's always rock n roll.

⁠@@robertoricci3393 Yeah, that’s how I’ve always thought of it too-ish. But like whoever in the 50’s, like ya said L. R. & Chuck what they did with the blues originally with what ya call when played on a 6 string guitar, they first used BAR CHORDS an the song structure an called it R&R but Hendrix mighta taken the blues a lil further an actually (Hendrix was in Lil Richards band at one point) but from the 50’s goin into the early 60’s to me was Rock an then when the mid 60’s to late 60’s came with Hendrix an all those bands, I think of as Hard Rock an possibly the distortion pedal gave it that Hard Rock sound an then getting to the late 60’s early 70’s Sabbath, Priest an Maiden gave the chuggin guitar sound, an still using bar chords an tuning instruments down to a lower key, to me is the Heavy Metal sound. But I was born in the early 70’s so maybe it depends on when you were born an brought up into it too??? Good point tho…..PEACE!

Classical music was another inspiration for the pioneering bands (Gustav Holst -> Black Sabbath; Beethoven -> Deep Purple, Rainbow; Wagner -> Manowar).

This was a fantastic video!! Metal will live forever! 🤘

Awesome video....one of my favorite metal bands personally that wasnt mentioned who have been at it since the mid 80s is Overkill....gotta give a shout out to them.

When I was 12 I liked nirvana, silver chair and offspring.. the day I first heard becoming from pantera I was instantly transformed into a metalhead!

They also have a song called Black Sabbath on their first album and their drummer’s name was Oz Osborne.

Rainbow Rising in 1976 and the follow up should not be forgotten. Their influence in Europe, along with Judas Priest, is huge

Great Video, going to hav to make a Part 2 as there was much you can't fit into 1 video. Accept deserves a mention too for inspiring thrash,speed and power metal, the 2000s metalcore ddeserves a mention as well.

I’m 59 years old and still jamming to metal!

Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult is one of the 1st heavy metal songs and the ONLY song to ever match the feel/vibes/attitude of Ironman.

Yes but a lot of the knuckleheads here would say it's not metal it's hard rock.

Black Sabbath may be regarded as the first heavy metal band, but it could be mentioned that several bands provided the prototype of the metal sound like Vanilla Fudge and Blue Cheer.

Vanilla fudge and deep purple were definetly heavy, but they were heavy-rock. It was Black Sabbath that was heavy-metal, instead of just heavy rock. If you ask what song, what album, and what band started metal, the answer to all 3 questions is Black Sabbath.

Vanilla Fudge and Blue Cheer were very loud but their song themes were mostly psychedelic rock and hard rock themes. They were as metal as Zeppelin, Hendrix or Cream. Metal in general tends to have a darker tone to the music influenced by horror movies, gothic fiction, harsh working class urban life, and as the video shows well metal also has a shock rock element from the likes of Kiss and Alice Cooper
