I'm always surprised no one ever mentions Brutal Legend on the PS3, one of the best examples of a legit Heavy Metal themed game with voice acting from Jack Black and even Ozzy Osborne. It expanded my tastes and knowledge within the older and Extreme sides of Metal, even leading many of us to find underground musicians like Mirrorthrone. There's also the first The Darkness game, where if you watch the TV you'll find various music video channels, one of which that plays Death Metal.

I think he hasn't included Doom, is because it was mostly a MIDI soundtrack composed by a composer for video game music, rather than licensed soundtracks from actual bands. Granted, they did take a few songs and slightly altered them (Alice in Chains - Them Bones, for example), but they were all still video game soundtracks that did not use real instruments or feature actual bands. Quake could have been included, although that soundtrack was more eerie dark ambient and industrial than rock or metal.

Side note , whenever I get in an Uber and the offspring’s “All I Want” comes on the radio, I immediately grab for my seatbelt 🤓

Dude this is seriously one of the best videos you’ve made, based on the fact that you’re absolutely spot on!!!!!! I am living proof that the soundtracks of these games shaped me into the early 20s closet hipster I am🤣 My CD collection is filled with almost all the artists featured in soundtracks from games and movies, and I even make it a point to do guitar covers of some of the songs on my channel occasionally. I’m glad you mentioned how the soundtracks were put together and I’m glad I now know! I got some respects to pay like you wouldn’t believe!!!!!! Great video as always Finn🤘🏻🤙🏻👊🏻

YYZ being on Guitar Hero 3 totally got me back into Rush in the throes of my most metal phase. 'I Love You, Man" coming out in the same year solidified Rush as a nostalgic name for a lot of kids my age despite never having any other life memories related to their music.

Brutal Legend had a GIANT Metal soundtrack lol.. because it was literally all metal and rock.

it's worrying how much of my music taste can be attributed to the Tony hawk series - they're the reason I was listening to AFI and NOFX aged 10 instead of whatever was in the charts back then lol

NHL 06 got me into Bullet For My Valentine and Avenged Sevenfold, and the racing game Midnight Club LA got me into Disturbed and As I Lay Dying

I love this video. It's so interesting how when we're presented with new music in a way that is secondary to the main entertainment we are consuming like a video game how our mental barriers and predisposition to whatever music it is (whether it's the genre or the band) we are able to take the music for what it is. I loved the songs in the old Tony hawk games and so glad you mentioned GTA the radio stations are such a cool thing to me and something that I think is sort of overlooked when taking in the overwhelming experience that is a FPS. I think the main take away I got from this video personally would be that music really can transcend stereotypes and I love seeing all sorts of music (especially rock and metal) make it into other mediums such as video games. Keep up the good work dude sending love from central China!

Tony Hawk games got me into those awesome late 90's rock bands.

Hearing "Sorry You're Not a Winner" on NHL 08. Still in rotation to this day

SSX 3 got me into Autopilot Off, N.E.R.D, Fatboy-Slim, Yellowcard,MxPx, etc... Better soundtrack than Tony Hawk Underground 2

All of the Tony Hawk, Dave Mirra and Matt Hoffman game soundtracks opened me up to a world of new music.

1993 rock n roll racing. As a kid it was cool racing to Black Sabbath

In my opinion the actual metal influence goes even further back with Super Nintendo games like Doom, Mega Man X, Wild Guns and many more. These games shaped me growning up to like heavy music overall.

I'm 38. And i discovered the band Pennywise when i was about 17 playing Sega Top Skater arcade game. Still love the song Homesick to this day!

dude you killed it Finn, i really love this video because i remember hearing these bands and having my cousins explain "Rock" music at a really young age and showing me NOFX and Pennywise , and skateboarding. so i totally agree that it does sorta introduce you to a whole bunch

I know this is an older video but I loved hearing you give a nod to American Wasteland - that soundtrack was incredible and way more influential to me than the prior games. The soundtrack was so extensive and covered so many genres - and you're right, the Fall Out Boy cover WAS my introduction to Gorilla Biscuits. THAW + the internet really shaped my music taste while growing up in a rural area that had no alternative scenes.

Street Sk8r set me on my course for Punk and Ska.

To this day I am grateful for that and I cherish that game in very dear memory. I grew up outside of the US (Croatia, small country in Europe) where there wasn't any metal or punk music coverage.
