The biggest influence of nu-metal and post grunge/alt rock/alt metal and even "Christian metal/rock" from the 00s is that it was the first time bands really started to use downed guitars through heavily distorted amps (usually a Mesa Rectifier) along with the use of 7 and 8 string guitars. A lot of the songs were slightly more upbeat than the songs from the 90s, but the downtuned guitars really gave the music a heavier/moody feel to it. Today, downtuned guitars are pretty standard on a lot of rock and metal songs. Before nu-metal though, guitarists weren't doing Drop Db, Drop C, Drop B, or Drop A tunings.

Got into rock largely from Linkin Park and Sum 41 on the radio, but for heavier stuff the big gateway was finding Shadows Fall on Guitar Hero II.

My gateway into Metal was obviously Guitar Hero. It introduced me to a huge variety of styles within the metal genre and that's how I went very deep into and appreciate it to this very day!

Se age as you. My dad showed me Zeppelin and Sabbath. Grunge got me into newer, at the time music. I eventually got into Korn and Pantera. Then it spread into all kinds of metal after that.

It was an evolving process for me, but Appetite for Destruction was the album when I became obsessed with harder music and led me down the path. But before that I was into Aerosmith (and I think some Bon Jovi was probably in the mix too). There were also a number of other bands like the Doors, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix that helped pave the way for me getting into metal. My first proper metal album was Iron Maiden's Live After Death, which is what led me to bands like King Diamond, Metallica and heavier stuff. And Black Sabbath. At some point early on I picked up the We Sold our Souls for Rock N Roll album from my Uncle's record collection and that one really blew my mind.

Finn Mckenty fails to realize that his channels are gateways to rock and metal ❤️

When it comes to Sepultura Bestial Devastation and Morbid Visions are badass.It's so raw and dirty sounding I love it.

There must only be 2 ways to get into metal: either through what your parents listened to when you're a kid, or liking something popular when you're a teenager. For me, I was a big Nirvana fan at 13, and then I heard Demanufacture by Fear Factory, and didn't like it, and didn't explore metal any further. Somehow I completely missed Nu-metal in the late 90s, probably because I was smoking way too much weed. I do remember hearing of Limp Bizcit, and thinking what a stupid name. And great video, Finn.

I am a proud poser. Korn, Metallica, SOAD, and Slipknot got me to where I am today.

I loved nu-metal as a teen, but I just grew up listening to alternative rock radio, and I was still pretty afraid of extreme metal when my mom got way into black metal in like 2004 and got actually really cvlt (tho her fave was really Satyricon), so I don't consider being a Linkin Park fan when I was 10 to be me "getting into metal" because it wasn't harder than Nirvana in my mind. Slipknot was actually scary to me even as a fan of their singles, at least. But anyways, I would credit the trifecta of Opeth, Agalloch and Isis for getting me into metal music with actual heaviness and screamed vocals when I was 16.

I appreciate all your work buddy you got one of my favorite channels on KZread and I listen to rap before I found you

I’m in my fifties so I got into metal the old way: my older brother. Early 80s, I was into punk and my brother was into metal. We grew up in the Bay Area so Metallica, Exodus, Possessed, D.R.I., M.D.C., Vio-Lence are what bonded us.

Finn one of my favorite things about your videos is your tantrum breakdowns. Please don’t ever stop doing them

Got into metal because of Disturbed, but then i went into the USMC...had a roommate that was into everything by RoadRunner records and started with a lot heavier bands after that.

I got into metal with listening to my stepdads old cd collection. Old Metallica, nine inch nails and Pantera. I listen to more modern bands now but those are still some of my favorite bands today.

Back in nu metal era my cousin was super big rap fan. Started to listen Limp Bizkit, 2 year later had Korn shirt, 4 years later had obscure black metal band and swore to pure true norwegian black metal. Now he is 40 year old prog obsessed pushing Dream Theatre riffs to his kids but he will not admit Limp Bizkit was his gateway to metal

To your point about us all being posers at the start, I agree entirely. I got into metal not through Slayer or Metallica but ADTR. I never understood screaming or drop tuning until my best friend in middle school showed me Homesick. The song structure of pop punk choruses with hardcore breakdowns made it the perfect gateway music. I could ease my way into the pool as opposed to dive head first. I think there are countless young people today that followed a similar path. Hell, tbh, I really still have not listened to Metallica or Slayer, but I have since touched everything modern from Darko, Emmure, Scarlxrd, Volumes, architects, etc..

Nice video! :) Daamn I miss Vanna so much. They were a Great band!

My first heavy music bands were Bullet For My Valentine (Poison album), Blessthefall, Every Time I Die, and Vanna. Got into Bullet and BTF from a friend of mine and ETID and Vanna from the 2006 Warped Tour Compilation album. That Warped Tour album was arguably the biggest influence on my music fandom that still lasts to today.

Mine was Breaking Benjamin, POD, Linkin Park, Stryper, and demon hunter. I grew up in a strict Christian house hold so sneaking in breaking Benjamin and Linkin park carries some nostalgia

I was surprised that nobody mentioned Fear Factory. Demanufacture is heavily featured on the Fisher-Price My First Metal album

I'm old so I started with everyone on Headbangers Ball and Hard 60. In 1988 or 89, I heard NAPALM DEATH on ZROCK. The vocals surprised me. What is this monster metal? I was hooked.

Thoughts on Chat Pile? Very curious to hear why you’d have to say about that new LP.

When Fear Factory's 'Demanufacture' came out it greatly expanded my idea of metal. That was my gateway. Probably explains why I like 'Chaos A.D' more than 'Beneath The Remains'. I do love 'Arise' though.

For me it was DC Talk>P.O.D.>Demon Hunter... Then just everything. But also, Hybrid theory had some certified bangers on it. Place for My Head really hits hard!

For me, my intro to metal was Metallica, Guns N Roses, Linkin Park, Slipknot, Korn, and Iron Maiden from a combination of my parents but more so Guitar Hero. I got into metalcore and whatnot later on because of Bring Me the Horizon, A Day to Remember, and to a lesser extent, Asking Alexandria

My mum's bf got me into Undisputed Attitude by Slayer and Far Beyond Driven by Pantera when I was about 12 in the late 90's, and then I discovered Korn from then

Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, System of a Down, Korn, Slipknot, and Avenged Sevenfold. Slipknot and Avenged Sevenfold’s Sounding The Seventh Trumpet album in particular were what got me into the core stuff that my life has been a constant obsession with ever since.

Mid 30s, got into music with Alice in Chains then a friend gave me a burned cd with opeth songs up to still life, entombed and dismember, meshuggah and the song symbolic by death. Liked all of it immediately so I guess there is a high speed alice in Chains to death metal pipeline out there.

I'm 31 and I got into Metal by way of Korn and SlipKnot. Nu metal & DeathCore are my favorite subgenres.🤘🎵🖤💯💯💯♠️

So everything started with Finnish bands for me xD I began liking Rock music when The Rasmus's In the Shadows was successful in Germany (I was still in Elementary school back then) and from there I looked into Finnish Rock bands. HIM became my favorite band afterwards and I liked the stuff that was a bit heavier than the normal rock music stuff they made most of the time (even Though I would not classify that as metal). Then my friend introduced me to Sonata Arctica and that was the first metal band I really really liked. When I was younger I couldn't really deal with screaming of any type which made power metal my favorite metal genre for a long time. Nowadays I listen to a lot of different types of music in general but metal is always the genre I name first when someone asks me about my favorite type of music. I also learned to appreciate a lot of different metal subgenred that are not power metal and nowadays I could not name one favorite subgenre.

My personal gateway bands/albums, in rough chronological order: Korn - Self Titled and Life is Peachy The Prodigy - Music for the Jilted Generation and The Fat of the Land (not metal at all but this really opened me up to 'alternative' music) Silverchair - Frogstomp and Freakshow (see above) Slipknot - Self Titled and Iowa Deftones - Adrenaline and Around the Fur System of a Down - Toxicity Followed by Chimaira, Lamb of God, Atreyu, Zao and a few others. I was 17-18 by now. Yeah, I know...pretty standard. I was lucky enough to have friends slightly older than me when I was around 11-12 years old and they showed me lots of great music. Being a kid in Australia, we had MTV and Channel [V] on cable/pay TV but I wouldn't say it had much influence. I mostly just waited for them to play songs I already liked as opposed to them introducing me to newer songs I hadn't heard before.

I had such a weird trajectory that it's hard to pin down what got me into metal. During the nu metal times, I was just a kid, so I'd heard a lot of the bands, but I liked N Sync and the Spice Girls. Maybe like, Sum 41 was the first rock band I got into? Blink 182? I don't really know. The first metal bands were like 80s glam bands. It's so hard to narrow down. XD

Zao, somebody threw on Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest on a church youth retreat when i was in middle school. Been hooked on the heavy ever since.

@15:18 sounds like the viral part of Lorna Shore's "to the Hellfire" breakdown. Maybe Will Ramos was also sick of people talking about nu metal when he made the similar sound

SOAD for sure. My best friend was playing it in Jr High in like 2005 on a portable cd player. Spiders was the song that flipped it all over for me.

As a kid, I grew up on the NWBHM and hair metal. Then Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” came along and flipped the script which led to Slayer and Anthrax. And my first introduction to Hard Core in HS was Cro-Mags age of Quarrel. And Stormtroopers of Death will always be my favorite crossover album.

The first metal band I heard was Dark Funeral. I can't remember what song it was but I heard it on a pirate radio station when I was about 10 years old in 98/99 and it blew my mind. I grew up with a lot of MTV but it was like nothing I had heard before. I didn't really listen to Dark Funeral or Black Metal in general beyond that at the time, but it opened me up to metal and from there my first favourite bands were Pantera and Sepultura (though you'll be disappointed to know it was through Chaos AD and Roots lol).

I'm 37. What got me into Rock was my brother's kiss alive 2 cassette tape back in 1990. Then at ten, it was mettalica. Had a punk and pop punk phase in my teens and hs. Then from there I got into scremo, deathcore and post hardcore metal. Good times

I grew up in house that my parents would listen to Motley Crue, Ray, Van Halen, so at a very young age I was exposed to that 80s hard rock and it just took a natural course. In my teens I would go to the record store and flip through the cds and find the craziest looking album cover and buy it. And we had a paper called the Phoenix and they would have tons of local metal acts and underground stuff coming out. That’s how I really got into harder to find music.

Those first two Sevendust records are THE SHYT!! ANyways, this vid is hilarious. Chaos A.D. & Roots are awesome too but, yes when it comes to Sepultura, Finn I understand the sentiment. Lmao

Love the Skeletonwitch shout out. I miss those guys.

That's a good idea. You need a literal "Metal Gatekeeper" hat/shirt for the merch store!

Lol yes the Linkin Park anime videos. 😆 Although to be more serious, I think the first ever metal songs I heard were on a Sirius station ...not Octane though, maybe The Boneyard? I can't remember actually...there were songs by Scar Symmetry, Trivium, Meshuggah, and so on.

What got me into Metal was listening to Linkin Park's In The End on radio and those Madden games exposing me to it.

Hey it's Tetrarch! did a few tours with them years ago. Fucking love Diamond, the guitarist that answered, super sick guitarist, great folks all around. Ironically, they were recently touted as one of the leading band in the "nu-metal" revival wave. Lol. Sorry Finn.

Finn, could you talk about your opinion on the most recent sepultura’s records?

Hell yeah, brother!! 🤘

The first actual Screamo,metal kinda song I heard. They changed my opinion of screaming vocals was 'New Noise' by the Refused.

For me it was Dimmu Borgir. Seeing people in my school wear their shirts made me check them out.

Yes, I love the early Sepultura during their thrash era! Roots Bloody Roots is genuinely some of my favorite thrashing hard rock I ever heard growing up :)

As someone who's first Metal album was "British Steel" by Judas Priest. I'm officially old and in the way.

First album I bought was White Zombie Astro Creep 2000, then my neighbor turned me on to Korn and then most bands I listen to were numetal until Slipknot toured with Lamb of God for Vol3.

My step dad listened to Death, Suicidal Tendencies and Death Angel. I got into punk and hardcore through the games Grind Session 2 and TH3.

I found a lot of music, nu metal included from WWE, and video games, I remember the Undertaker coming out to Rollin by Limp Bizkit, that’s about the moment I first heard any nu metal song

Killswitch Engage -The End of Heartache First time I saw the second resident evil movie and that came on in the credits I was hooked

Review some old Headbangers Ball episode clips Finn! 🎉

I may be in the younger demographic of your audience (22), but I got into heavy music because of Falling in Reverse and Sleeping with Sirens. They were the first rock bands I heard. I was late to this kind of music cause I was raised in a house where we couldn't listen to secular music, but my older brother started getting into hip hop and rap and also some rock so I listened to whatever he had bought or downloaded. I think the band that got me into super heavy music was Motionless in White. The first song I heard from them was Immaculate Misconception, and I'd never heard something so nasty before. Like you've said in one of your videos from your main channel, heavy isn't just about blast beats and animal screams lol, its a combination of factors. For me, what made me love heavier music were bands like FIR, SWS and MIW that knew how to make heavy catchy, fun and memorable.

My Dad bought a copy of "Reign In Blood" in 1986. I was 2. He did that as a way of antagonizing my Mother. So, in 1986 my 2 year old ears were force fed high velocity Trash Metal. I've never been right since.
