THANK YOU for pointing out that 2014 was somehow a decade ago.. it’s been making me and everyone else fairly so sick: so little, yet so much has gone by. How??
Every video Finn brings to me, pushes me one step closer to death. And I'm about to break.

Also in the category of ‘old artists’ this year: Skinny Puppy did their final tour, killed it at every show, and then official called it day. An absolutely integral band in the history of Industrial Music. They never compromised on their vision and gave theatrical & memorable performances. While they do have a few ‘low points’ in their discography, they have an impressive and influential amount of work that holds up to this day for (again) their unique vision and style. Well done, Skinny Puppy. Absolute legends.

Butt rock and Nu-metal is big business. Can't knock the hussle. And Pump Rock of course.
I’ve seen 3 Creed shirts recently. Two of them were on guys with ironic mullets who FOR SURE would have mocked them and laughed at their fans 10 yrs ago. These hipstahoes ain’t loyal 💅
I’m one of the many who discovered Sleep Token in 2023… and am left dumbfounded that their earlier gems went under the radar the way they did. That’s gotta be because they’re from England and the heavy US Media machine, playlist curators etc…just got on to them. I hope they will get huge, bc they’re already 2 EPs and 3 LPs into their career.

If those guys actually got passed that and gave it a real listen, they would notice it’s very well written pieces of Art Music with deceptively simple parts. It’s all one guy that writes the stuff and bounces it all with a very talented drummer… Maybe the 3 million people who follow them on Spotify also use Tik Tok ( 2 truly evil inventions ).

Even during the holidays Finn is here pumping out bangers.
Im a casual fan of Sleep Token and they have certainly blown up. I think its well deserved because they have a gimmick that makes them interesting and they are willing to try new things in metal and rock while many bands are churning out the same butt rock over and over.
Justice for Creed! Yes!!!! Love it and love you Finn! Here's to another year with the Punk rock MBA!
I liked how Scott Stapp presented creed as so much nobler than barbarian nu metal in the Woodstock 99 documentary

I love Ab more than Creed but I started with creed and don’t mind waiting another 6-9 months for AB if it means I can get a couple new creed songs even if it’s the 2012 unreleased songs
That Sleep Token song clip is major truck commercial vibes
Ok. It's comforting to me that 2014 is a decade ago, but I'm into immortal stuff so I enjoy being further away from years that felt futuristic and advanced at the time. I grew my hair out to anticipate the indie-rock comeback, hoping more metal accompanies it like before. Also, the 2011 nostalgia is bubbling in the midwest. Sometimes the Red Line is looking more like a Blue Line train from late 2010. There are definitely smaller cycles within the 20 year cycle. I was dressing like I did in 2009 during 2020 myself. We want your deep dive on the Swag Era
I spent so many years clowning Creed that I became a legitimate fan.
2023 was the year of the DINKs concert, nostalgia tour.
I feel like if a legacy band is going to complain about a current day topic like TikTok, Deepfakes, etc, they really need to actually do their research and go into detail about how said topic has negatively affected society and changed the way people think for the worse instead of “I’m old and new thing makes younger generation worse so I’m complaining about it”
2014 was the loneliest must depressing year of my life So glad it’s been a decade
one of the wildest moments in metal this year was seeing the spiritbox and megan thee stallion collab on the remix of her song cobra
Happy new year finn!
sleep token is ass, spiritbox is ass, a7x is ass, terrible year for mainstream metal but the underground is truly thriving as of the end of this year and we love to see it
I tried to like sleep token. Couldnt do it. So uninteresting.
Haven't watched the video yet, but the fact that I see Blink 182 and Green Day on the thumbnail on a video about metal is not a good sign.
My 2023 was fun with a plenty of live music . Two music fests in one year Rockville and Louder Than Life...

Thanks again Finn for the content 🙏
I think it's not 2023 per se but rather the post covid era that reinvigorated so many people around the world, including musicians and artists in general. Being able to leave the house again and go on tours has been almost as reinvigorating to musicians as it is for gay when they come out of the closet. This massive burst of energy got everyone's creative juices flowing again. Whether it's the classic bands like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, etc, releasing new albums that are actually good again to new wave of 'modern metal' it's a good time for everyone involved. Almost like a post war baby boom situation.
Happy 2023 the year of our lord Finn Mckenty! 🤘🤘
i love that you respect Lars! sometimes i feel like im the only person put there who likes metallica out there!
Couldn’t give less of a fuck about Sleep Token. Give me all that Blink 182
So psyched for the new Green Day album! "Dilemma" is the best song so far in my opinion.

I have listened to a bunch of their songs trying to figure out the hype and I haven't heard anything metal from them. They look metal but sound R&B/boy band. Ghost is more metal then Sleep Token. I defended Ghost as a metal band for their first three albums, but I can't defend Sleep Token as a metal band, because they are not.
I'm not worried about dying. When it happens, I'll be the only person who won't know it happened.

Because it's not even worth mentioning. I was the biggest A7X fan from 8th grade to 1st year of college. I seen them on thier Nightmare Tour and Hail To The King tour. After 6 agonizing years of waiting. I was genuinely upset at how lackluster and disappointing the new album turned out. I was hoping so bad for a return to form of something like a mixture of Hail To The King and Nightmare albums. Shoot I'd have been happy as hell with a Waking The Fallen or City Of Evil sound. They clearly tried to be innovative and experimental. And some bands can pull it off and even move the needle so to speak. Like Bring Me The Horizon has done. But this was not that at all. And finn forgot about mentioning it because let's be honest. It's the kind of album you would easily forget about when none of it is worth remembering outside of MAYBE The song Nobody which was halfway decent. I think The Rev truly might have been the secret sauce of Avenged Sevenfold. His last album was Nightmare which he practically finished before dying. Since A7X basically did a tribute album to the greatest bands making songs that sound similar to already huge songs like Sad But True. Then they did The Stage which was mediocre with a couple good hits but compared to the new album its GOD TIER. This band has more talent then most every will between Syn, M, Shadows, Thier Drummer and the rhythm guitarist. Way too much talent to waste it making songs like they did.
I will always defend Human Clay and the first Creed album!
Someone on my Snapchat took a selfie with her and Steve Harwall at the bar a couple weeks after the scandal a couple years back. It was just sad to see the man lost his career to alcohol and was still going out to the bar.
me watching this in 2023: nuh uh! 2014 wasn't 10 years ago! it was only 9!
You know you watch too much of Finn when you know the things he will repeat a band says/sings
Man Finn really has zeroed in on that TikTok line in "The American Dream Is Killing Me". Like it's not like they made a whole song about the issues of social media (which is a genuine worry) in a cringe way, they just said like 3 words and kept going with the rest of the song.
When lil uzi asked his friends if he should drop the song they were too high and thought he meant drop it and get rid of it and never let anyone else hear it ever.
19:48 I think their version doesn't compare to the original but it might bring some new fans to the SOAD version IDK
Larr's you are now welcomed into the Friends of Finn club. Welcome.
I will say Finn you cant be sleeping on Love from the otherside by Fall Out Boy on there newest album its such a banger!
Yeah I can't get into sleep token, but I'd go to a show to meet a baddie but I know I'd fumble it😂😂
