I think MGK didn’t understand the culture when he came from the rap scene. In rap as far as I’m aware it’s a normal thing to manufacture “beef” with other artists as a form of self-promotion. This is less common in metal and especially frowned upon to do this with respected “elders” in the scene.

Problem being that the industry and the audience has changed so much that if at all this is only possible by one of two things. You either work your butt of over a very long period (and be lucky to hit a nerve) or you lower your own standards so much that your music becomes acceptable for parts of the mainstream audience, at which point, unluckily, it isn't real metal anymore. Now I don't even mind things not being metal, I also listen to rap, some hip hop and a few select pop artists. And I certainly don't mind artists wanting to be commercially successful with their music.

Man, for years I played live shows and went to shows with no ear protection. Practiced my drums with a PA system blasting. You know how you get a ringing in your ears after being exposed to loud noises for an extended time? That happened to me all of the time and by the next day, the ringing would be gone. Until it wasn't. I've had tinnitus for 7 years now. I will never know what it's like to hear silence again. There is always a hissing/ringing in my right ear. It took a long time to just adjust to it and learn to live with it. But it really sucks. People ABSOLUTELY need to protect their ears. Tinnitus is fucking obnoxious.

I was in my 40s by the time my foolish ass finally wised up and started wearing earplugs at concerts. I have documented hearing damage and can't afford to lose any more. They are made for concerts and I can still hear everything - just at a reasonable volume. Hearos is the name of the plugs. Everyone should pick up a set.

The only thing actually hate as a metalhead is when people think it's just yelling into a mic and don't realize the amount skill and practice it takes to even sound close to a lot of the metal vocalist. There's even a science to it. TheCharismaticVoice even made a video where they stuck a camera down Will Ramos's throat to see what his vocal cords did when he did his vocals. insane stuff.

Needless to say I couldn't stand it lol but good on them for changing so dramatically and finding success cause the place was PACKED. I did see plenty of Count Your Blessings and Suicide Seasons shirts despite them not having anything from that era at the merch table.

The thing about bands changing their sound is that their new sound is usually way worse than their original sound. It's usually more dumbed down and commercial and or just plain bad. I can't think of a band off the top of my head that stayed consistently good despite changing their overall vibe, but I'm a bit picky so this may not apply to the general public.

about the one more song one.. total agree.

I have to disagree with the MGK take on this video. Nobody in the metal scene loved MGK. He was loved by his regular fans for his hop hop stuff. My personal dislike as well as others actually started when he attacked Eminem on a song and I'm sure other metalheads would agree with me as well. Then he got even more hated when he made the switch over to the rock scene and taking shots at other artists. Not saying you're wrong but from my perspective, he was never loved by the metal scene Edit: Forgot to mention he made immature and weird comments about Eminems daughter on Twitter. That's another reason why fans including metalheads don't like him.

MGK made Tommy Lee endearing. Being a metal head means I get to go to shows for 10-20 dollars. Perks. Also, my son played me a song from Pantera the other day, and I knew it was the first track from Cowboys from Hell. Still can't remember the name haha. Chanting one more song is typically to allow the headlining band a breather for the closer. Lorna Shore just did that recently. My son was lucky enough to get a set-list. Editing more: DO NOT see Angelmaker without ear plugs.

The MGK hate train got old really fast. Also I remember in 2019, where I went to see MIW. Didn't bring any ear plugs and was sitting very close to the stage but not close to the pit and it sounded like a machine gun going off in my ears. It was fun as hell but holy shit! 😬 my ears wouldn't stop ringing for a few days and I had to wear ear muffs. Always bring ear plugs, trust me it ain't worth it. 👍

I see so much heat and misplaced angst aimed at Lorna Shore for releasing the "same song over and over" and I never agreed with that sentiment. It's their style and they remain true to it.

I love the sarcastic chaotic nature it's like a guy standing on mountain ranting on his hate for humanity

Thanks for the video. Very entertaining. Cheers.

8:46 Clawfinger! You need three good riffs and a catchy hook line "I love rock n roll" It's easy to remember so we sing it all the time.. :)

"One more song " is never going anywhere I JUST SAW SHADOW OF INTENT IN CHICAGO AND WE DID THE EXACT THING AND THEY PLAYED MALEDICTION My neck was swore for a week lmao

I think one is 'not everyone will be into death or black' I think some metalheads look down on more palatable genres like gothic or symphonic because they more popular.

the 3 songs thing is also a bit dumb seeing as most people use streaming services now and don't even look at the titles. but would recognize it if the songs played

Some bands have a very distinct sound which people love. You can have variety in the songs but they'll still have their sound. S great example of that is Bury Tomorrow. Their new stuff is different but still feels the same.

your content is great, none the less!

6:54 When I saw Tremonti live this year, as they were approaching the end of their set, Mark said “We don’t do encores, theres no point” and I love that, because he’s right. I hope other bands start to see that, but at the end of the day it’s probably up to them, and if they want to do it. Then do it.

I had recently watched a couple of videos trying to understand my tastes in music better. This was a mistake. While I enjoy metal, trying to attach myself to a particular subgenre is basically impossible. I'd be like taking a gradient of Red and Green and saying "Find me where Red doesn't have any green in it" and then having everyone come to a consensus. Better yet, a crimson and Red gradient. Ultimately, I ended up with this: 1)is it theatrical? 2) can I apply it to a movie scene? Fight scene? Emotion? If it's a yes to any of these 2, I'll probably enjoy it. It's probably why I really like video game metal music like Doom and Metal Hellsinger. Just ticks all those boxes.

I listen to alot of albums all the way through (it's kind of a litmus test for whether I would consider myself properly a fan or whether I only 'kind of/sort of' like a band). So, if an album has no filler, I never need to skip. If it doesn't have one absolute banger that stands out against all the other tracks I never have a reason to check the song titles... I can name most albums by a lot of bands.... I'd probably struggle with song titles though...

The "IN FLAMES" effect yeaahhhh

one of the times I saw dope live Edsel literally came out n said, 'yeah we can do the encore thing where we walk off stage y'all chant for us to come back n we waste your time. or we can just play one or two more songs in the time frame'. n I respect that

8:14 - 8:40 Absolutely true. I hadn't listened to Dance Gavin Dance for even a full year before their bassist died of a drug overdose, and then Tilian was metooed. This is just one example of the many good bands that do stupid shit and cut a good thing short and ruin it for fans with their behavior.

I was just caught off guard by the poutine ad lmao

I literally only listen to Welcome Home by Koheed for the opening rift then turn it off so I’d say rifts can definitely make a song

The "thinking sick riffs make a whole song" thing.. oy. Nik, have you never heard riff salad?

Greta is a local band and I personally think they are great and refreshing.

'What's the point" is what I ask myself every morning when I have to get up.

7:02 OKAY, not metal, but this happened to me this year! I was filming Country Concert in Fort Loramie, Ohio in July, and Morgan Wallen was headlining the final night. Drunk people threw stuff at him, he was mad about something else, and during his set skipped a song, then left and didn't come back on for this 3 SONG ENCORE. I was so confused, and it gave me a bad first impression of his live shows and his character.

Are the pinch harmionics in your vocal delivery when you get excited intentional?

Riffs are most important IMO. With the exception of certain extreme vocals, the riff is what makes a song memorable. Sabbath, Rush, etc were so good partly because their riffs were sticky.

On the KZread bullcrap you mentioned yesterday in stream: Don't beep the swearing, cut the audio. Ad analytics puts you into "kinda not ad friendly" category.

"Thinking you only need gross breakdowns to make a good song" fixed it for em.

I really like Nik's nuanced approach to MGK. Also, in terms of bands not changing their sound, I think bands in certain genres can get away with it. Barely anyone complains about Rise Against, Breaking Benjamin, or August Burns Red not changing because those genres they're a part of (Melodic Hardcore, Alt Metal, and Metalcore) allow different bands to do the genre their way. Meanwhile, if a band that is part of pop punk (like a band called State Champs), for example, were to stick with the same formula, some people would likely get sick of it pretty quick.

I remember people were super mad when Metallica cut their hair

I know most of the members of The Halo Effect are from In Flames but The Halo Effect sounds more like Dark Tranquility than In Flames.

Funny thinking back now about Larrs and how he tried stopping online audio file transfering.. But looking back, that whole ordeal created the copyright we have today and made big enough a noise to form the online trading of music we see now. His originaly concern was 100% fair for all artists, even including the big names.. artists don't really make good money via album sales and getting less hurt so many smaller artists.

I think theyre more getting at or I hope theyre getting at with the riffs is that some songs are just riffs or as trey calls them riff salad. Like theres no cohesion or memorable part of the song its just a bunch of riffs slapped together. I could be wrong though.

9:57 case in point Do I Wanna Know

Hahaha Demon Hunter said they weren’t going to do an encore and the last song would actually be the last song. And it was. The fact that Ryan Clark addressed it first kind of made it funny bc we still didn’t believe him🤪🤣
