I even checked out Throwdown, Poison The Well, and Bleeding Through on Limewire since they were thanked in the liner notes. As well as getting into the then new bands like TDWP, August Burns Red, BMTH etc.

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.

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

I have hard time wrapping my head around someone disliking Megadeth based on vocals, when he listens to punk - genre known for technically inferior but raw and goofy and fun vocals. Sure, Dave can be a bit too much sometimes as a person but his vocals are one of the most recognizable. He’s the Fred Durst of thrash metal when it comes to vocals.

Finn has a weird taste of music and logic

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.

I can't stop myself from cracking after "brutal technical death metal". Every goddamn time 😂

I wasn't ready for 9:30-9:31, I nearly sprayed water all over my laptop. HAHAHAHA!

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

Kinda sad you didn't mention Dead from Mayhem being in the Candlemass video. Cmon Finn.

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.

I have a few years on you, Finn, but Grindcrusher was my gateway to heavier metal as well. Banger of an album.

Finn cooking up the same video but serving it on different plates like we aint notice

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.

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 😭😭

That introduction hit way too close to home 😂😂

Metal, the best genre of music ever, has the dumbest fanbases ever. Metalheads are constantly acting against the interest of their genre.

"This eyebrow piercing just appeared on my face!" Hahahahaha. I miss the Howard KSE days 😢.

Dream Theater is what happens when you take a Queensryche cover band and and tell them to make a metal rip off of Pink Floyd

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

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

If you are not into Glam metal much at all, try the Crimson Idol by Wasp, it fucking slaps

Why do you assume “heaviness” is the end goal for metal? I don’t consider listening to Sabbath or Maiden as “going backwards”. I never enjoyed the brutal heavy stuff. Way rather jam some 70’s/80’s metal. I like melody, catchy riffs and vocals that you can understand.

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.

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.

Abba had to be my Metal Starting Kit. When they sang Dancing Queen I had to Rock Out!

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.

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 ^^

I did a marijuana while listening to a metal.... now I'm dead. Not even once!

I was SO into Motley Crue and Poison when I was 13. Good times.

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.

"I am the Law" and "Indians" probably my two favorite Anthrax tracks

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.

By weird coincidence, Dead (the vocalist of Mayhem) is actually in that Candlemass video.

Sepultura is a good starting point, you start at Arise and you can take 2 paths either forward or backward from there

Finn, just watch sweet and innocent Elizabeth over at "the Charismatic Voice" cover "Before I forget" by Slipknot. She said metal people are good people. Bring her to the light before it's too late.

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.

I think it depends who you are dealing with. For some, a band like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden or Metallica (black album, maybe MoP) is the best place to start. For others, something like Disturbed, Linkin Park, SOAD or Avenged Sevenfold. For others, something more modern like Gojira, Parkway Drive or While She Sleeps might work better.

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.

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
