FInn! Do us all a favour and make a video about Scott Burns or Ross Robinson. I feel like a lot of times great albums come from a great mentorship and ear of great producer to make a band feel comfortable and free top express their art, and even see their potential to sound even greater on record. Many of my fav sounding records have those names in common. Love your fun content and have a nice day!
Hey Finn, I'd like to hear your thought on bands like Orange 9mm, Cellophane, early Nonpoint (1st two albums), Hed P.E., The Melvins, Flaw or Dayinthelife?
The first two clutch albums are classic. Self titled is a top 10 90s album. I get the new shit is generic , but why do we judge these bands on their fat Elvis stages?
Crowbar should at least be B tier. They (along with COC) are the best of the southern sludge bands. They have the slow punishing riffs without the dope-fiend, unalive yourself lyrics. I could never get through a Buzzoven or Eyehategod record, but Crowbar always pushes through the misery in a very moving way.
As a prog metal fan who consumes a lot of prog metal, I'd like to let you know you can both be a fan of the wider genre and think Tool is top tier prog metal. Mainly because they are. Insufferable fans and a massive fan base don't automatically make the band suck. Multiple things can be true at the same time.
Also another thing to consider is as the world gets bigger and there's more people. The odds that you'll like something with an insufferable fan base are really high. Don't let them take great things from you.
He mainly said the music got more stale as time went on as a basis for their ranking. Which I agree with. 10,000 Days and Fear Inoculum are very meandering and incredibly different than AEnima and Undertow. Not liking the change is fair.
@prophetsatirical8946 It sounds like you both just don't like prog metal. Long, intricately composed and adventurous songs are staples of the sub genre.
@@thelaughingstormbornagain1297 you would be correct. I don’t like prog metal. If someone’s a fan of Tool but not prog, you can’t expect them to be excited about what came after Lateralus.
Ministry's run from 1986 to 1996 is some of sickest shit ever. From ebm to industrial metal to full-on sludge. Their 1990 live album is pure sonic crushing brutality. Their mid 00s trilogy is also really good, the one with Tommy Victor is quite intense
@@mikespearwood3914 he got his shit together after inconsistent spoon and animositisomina. Death and Destruction, Rio Grande, Senor Peligro, Warp City, Great Satan. Bush trilogy got some monster songs
First three albums are good. It's simple solid bluesy metal, like a blend of the Door and Black Sabbath. And you have Chuck Biscuits on drums and John Christ is a damn good guitarist. The rest of his stuff is where I lost interest.
Best metal album of the 90s that no one talks about is Sponge - Rotting Pinata. It was the album that had a big influence on Akira Yamaoka who did all of the amazing soundtracks for the Silent Hill games.
Thank you for giving LoA so much credit! River Runs Red left such a mark with us when it came out. Those were our golden music years, we were 18y old german metal kids who got to listen to Body Count, Judgement Night and LoA amongst other great new (for us) music in those years. Maybe Ugly just didn't have the same impact two years later, but I still love it. Glad they all toured Europe as well! Again, thank you!
About that “olive garden” syndrome you keep referring to, weirder isn’t alway better. Sometimes some bands achieve the perfect balance of weird and accessible , and that’s Tool, Radiohead and Deftones.
@@Routerninja you should go and try them out again.they sound way professional and a lot of the jerks don't go to the show anymore so the pit is a lot safer.
That Neurosis roast🔥 sounds like Cartman talking about Hippies😂😂 The Clutch part also funny. Never heard about these bands and I don’t feel like I’ve missed something.
Fred may have stopped writing in Meshuggah few years ago, but his presence is SO obvious when he plays live with them. Looking forward to seeing Meshuggah in November.
Honestly kind of surprised that Finn didn't put tool higher. Not because I'm a fan, but because they are "Olive Garden prog". He tends to like catchiness and bands that bring underground music to the mainstream and Tool def did that. I mean you average active rock listener doesn't want to hear Cynic or Atheist. But they love Tool. I would have thought Finn would respect that. Of course he hates a passionate fan base so maybe that offsets it😂
I'm a big Clutch fan but the OutBack Steak House joke had me dying, I mean you're not wrong. Another great video, great work man. Thanks for brightening up my day with some fun 90's nostalgia.
Finally you gave sepultura some props.i was hoping you wasn't gonna go through part 2 and leave them out.i was a huge Pantera fan but i listened to sepultura almost as much.arise, beneath the remains, chaos AD,and roots were absolutely fantastic
I agree.their first Three albums definitely flirted with death metal but I can honestly say I dug both chaos AD and roots.they changed their style and I didn't hate it like I did at first.i just wish max and the rest of the band would have settled their differences.
Finn is so well researched and detailed with his appreciation of bands, especially classic, highly respected bands. Dear Finn, if you like sludge metal, I want to recommend you the entire Isis the Band (named after the Egyptian goddess of magic and wisdom rather than the extremist group) discography as well as Harvey Milk's first album, their album The Pleaser, Special Wishes and Life... the Best Game in Town. They are often underappreciated and are very gritty. They also often rerain a feel good attitude while having uplifting, yet crushing riffs. The teamwork of the instrumental sections is very organic and natural like a Steve Albini record. I think you would possibly enjoy those records a LOT if you haven't already heard them. Thank you Finn for bringing awareness to the younger generations about these hard working, consistent, and original artists. I have learned a lot from this channel, and the edits that give a visual representation are unmatched and make this channel very professional by including great detail and doing justice to a bands' essence
I went to see The Fall of Troy and Coheed and Cambria and the only thing weirder than that pairing was that Clutch played in the middle. You could easily tell the Clutch fans because they looked terrified and confused while sitting on the bleachers during Fall of Troy while waiting for Clutch to play. I decided to give them a chance as I had never heard them before. I got as far as them referring to a woman as sugar and the first harmonica break before I decided to just wait outside for Coheed lol
I’ve seen Gwar twice within the last three weeks, and they’ve been covering If you want blood by ACDC, and I just wanna say that Blothar is a genuinely great vocalist but you won’t realize it until you hear them play that song live. A Bon Scott track of all songs is where Blothar vocals truly shine
Growing up in Russia 90s were the Metal decade for real. As a 10 - 12 ywar old kid i could name 10 bands without ever hearing them just off t shirts that folks were wearing all around. It was a go to genre for alternative and nonformal culture.
Discarding post Nothing Meshuggah is downright outrageous 😂. Catch 33, Obzen are Metal staples and changed the game of music making even beyond Metal. The “songs” are tracks like Combustion ( basically a heavier Punk rock song ), Do not look down and Demiurge … They consistently released albums that have face melting intensity and catchiness all the way up until 2022 their last album.
Finn, did you see the Cavalera brothers re-recorded the first EP and Morbid Visions? They released it last month, and it sounds amazing. Heavy AF while respecting the original style. Good stuff.
It pisses me off a bit, they both decided to quit the band, then since their new projects aren't really booming they decide to nostalgia bait people again. If only Max could be mature enough to separate business from his personal life...
I understand there was bad blood between all of them back then but for the life of me I can't understand why they couldn't settle their differences and make music again.neither side has done anything better than when they were all together in my opinion.soulfly had a couple good songs and the new sepultura had a couple but they were fantastic together

@@mattmiller4821 thanks for pointing that out. I was unaware of this reference. What's your opinion on the alternate clutch incarnation- the bakerton group?
The first 4 Danzig albums were awesome. I saw that original line-up in 1992 and it was the best show I have ever been to. They were incredibly tight live. I saw them 10 years later and they sucked. His voice was blown His output sucked for the most part after those 4 albums.
Overweight man in my 30’s here with a beard and a Clutch inspired tattoo 😅. They were my dad’s favorite band, my kid likes them too so maybe it’s hereditary.
Thanks for giving GWAR some love. Such an underrated band! Shudder has a fantastic documentary about them called This Is GWAR. It's a super interesting, captivating story, even if you're not a fan.
Meshuggah: dope album run throughout the 90s and early 2000s Turned into a snooze fest Primus: Zany but I can’t find myself bumping on the daily, except for one or two songs. Tool: Aenima fucking rules 🤘🏼 Life of Agony: Pantera mixed with Alice In Chains. Decent Clutch: Dad rock in the worst way. Discount store Helmet Neurosis: I need to focus to listen, save for their early thrash stuff.
I like tool because they kind of got me into branching out as a bass guitar player. I think on a technical level they are unmatched their drummer is phenomenal there bass player the guitar player the way they harmonize is beautiful and Maynard has a great songwriter however I agree with you that some of their stuff just goes on too long and it does become kind of boring. I didn't want to admit it but I think you nailed it on the head and admitted what we kind of already felt but didn't want to say LOL
Judas Priest, whilst an ol' G of metal and not really a 90s band, did release Painkiller in 1990 (just before the buzzer), and really that is what S sounds like. Tool is mid at best 👍
Danzig and the misfits are the bands that made me realize there are merch bands, and just because alot of people wear a band shirt it doesn’t mean they’re good. And it’s also when I realized people say they like a band because they think they’re supposed to. Also to a lesser extent than with slipknot, I realized bands can have logos and imagery that they are going to be heavy, but are far from it.
Slipknot's logo and look make sense for their sound imo. And I love the misfits. Danzig is hit or miss, mostly mid. I checked them out deeply in like 2015 and haven't listened since
Yeah, I tried getting into misfits because all the people I thought were cool wore their shirts and I listened to them and was thoroughly disappointed at how not heavy they were
I love Clutch. Got their self titled disc freshman year in high school and it's been in heavy rotation since. Love the new stuff, too. And yes, I am overweight and bearded and 41.
Hell yea songs like dead embryonic cells, territory,slave new world,arise,altered state, attitude,straight hate,look away, desperate cry just to name a few were kickass.i thought they were one of only a few bands that could keep pace with Pantera.
Finn please listen to Tools album 10,000 days. It’s heavy af and has amazing production. I think you’d enjoy Jambi and the Pot. I know Tool gets some hate but they are a great gateway band into prog metal because a lot of prog metal bands don’t make very digestible songs for new listeners.
That early ministry songs sounds like early Rammstein. I like the sound of that. Also... You just can't put Tool and Danzig on the same level. Tool up to A tier!
Bro you nailed it I’ve been saying that for a while even the shit from the 90s we thought sucked is still better than most of this shit around today idk. Metal has come a long way but I’m not directions I think? Love the content man
Dude…you did Danzig and Crowbar dirty. Sonic Excess In It’s Purest Form is a fucking killer album! As for Clutch….Spacegrass, The Regulator, the entire Earth Rocker album…all fantastic! LOA during the Keith years were amazing. Saw them on Gigantour. Can’t really get into them these days…the new music just doesn’t hit the same.
Finn on point as usual. Life of Agony is so good. I didn't really know much about this band so thanks for dropping them in here. Also, back in the early 2000s I had a couple friends constantly fanboying Clutch and I just never got it. Clutch is terrible.
I've been a clutch fan since high school and I understand not getting them. They're just a straight forward hard rock band, no gimmicks or anything except the occasional harmonica or organ part though. But they do it well and they've evolved very well musically I think, they have bangers on every album.
Not really. They gradually shifted into industrial metal style from the land of rape and honey through Mind is a terrible thing to taste into psalm 69. They went further into thrash metal after Barker quit when AL did the Bush trilogy
If you like metal or hardcore, you probably like Opiate and Undertow. Personally I love Lateralus, but they have horrible "I am smarter than you." online fans. Hell yeah, Ministry. Danzig can sing. I like Beneath the Remains better. Primus, really great funk rock/metal, but indeed became jammy later on. Through Silver and Blood is awesome. Meshuggah first albums are better than their later work, because the guitar work is more varied early in their career. Drumming is awesome all the time, but their later albums are monotonous. Clutch is not metal, but heavy bluesrock. Life of Agony sounds a bit like early Tool to me. Well, that's all I have to say about it.
I saw Mastodon with Clutch opening up for them in 2015. As soon as Clutch finished about half of the crowd left, I was like these foo's are really leaving!?!😂
I absolutely LOVE GWAR!!! "Preskool Prostitute" is equally as demented as "Rock N Roll Never Felt So Good"...lol...however since the death of their fearless leader they are just not the same. I met Oderus's human Dave a couple times and he was very nice and respectful. Met the bass player and Slymenstra too back in the day. I was put through the meat grinder on stage the first time I saw them. I believe that was in 1997 or 98...
I completely agree about clutch. I’ve never gotten it. Everybody I know that was in love with them are all in their 40s, and we’re big stoners in high school and beyond. Maybe that was my problem of why I didn’t get it.
First time I heard Primus was "My Name Is Mud" and at first I was like "wtf is this garbage"... but that bass got stuck in my head and I've been a fan since. They're super weird, but I like weird.

Good songs but the bass sounds like a filing cabinet falling down a fire escape
@@stevec6427LOL I like the bass sound
@@stevec6427it does, but that’s the best part
I saw Sepultura open for Ministry in Sep's first show ever in Canada. My hearing is still impacted... Worth it.
Yeah, Sepultura owned on that tour, they came out, melted your face then Helmet was a disappointment after that until Ministry came on.
Crowbar should at least be B tier. They (along with COC) are the best of the southern sludge bands. They have the slow punishing riffs without the dope-fiend, unalive yourself lyrics.
I could never get through a Buzzoven or Eyehategod record, but Crowbar always pushes through the misery in a very moving way.

I can't because that breakdown is the first thing I think of when that song is mentioned.that song kicks tons of ass
The first Danzig album is perfection .
For me the first Danzig album is front to back…I don’t even just pick out individual songs…I start with twist of Cain and just let it play
I would mostly agree, but lines like “light you up like Christmas” are pretty bad. Danzig 2 and 3 are some of my favorite records ever though

I love this comment! It's not metal, very much alternative/hard rock, but an amazing album. Love Vinnie Dombroski and Sponge. So underrated.

Me too

the Clutch segment had me LMAO. Nailed it 💯
Clutch and their fans look like employees at Kenny Rogers Roasters.
Lateralus and 10,000 days are masterpieces.
As a metal head who was raised by deadheads, Primus becoming a jam band was one of the best things to happen
Interesting take.
Primus and Jane's Addiction weirdly united a lot of genre fans. You'd find thrash metallers, hippies and weird college rock kids at their shows.
Opeth, in flames, bolt thrower, children of bodom, arch enemy just a few that should show up
I absolutely love Primus and they are insane musicians
Gwar is still awesome live.
Havent seen GWAR since Dave passed, but they are definitely still going strong.
@@Routerninja you should go and try them out again.they sound way professional and a lot of the jerks don't go to the show anymore so the pit is a lot safer.

Slipknot's logo and look make sense for their sound imo. And I love the misfits. Danzig is hit or miss, mostly mid. I checked them out deeply in like 2015 and haven't listened since
@@godwarrior3403 ehh slipknot looks like they’d be heavy, I don’t think it fits tbh
Misfits best album wasn't even released when it was recorded and when it finally came out it managed to relaunch the band.
Yeah, I tried getting into misfits because all the people I thought were cool wore their shirts and I listened to them and was thoroughly disappointed at how not heavy they were
your clutch description is perfect.
Would love to see a similar tier list video but of today’s rock/metal bands. “Octanecore Tier List” or something lmao
He turned on clutch and I immediately fell in love with that band 😂
Facts! Mayonaise Jim Keenan has pushed the band in a "Dad Rock" direction for the past 20 years. Too much, "Rogan DMT" influence in my opinion.
Frizzle Fry is my favorite album of all time.
I love Clutch but Outback Steakhouse commercial got me chuckling
"Outback Steakhouse commercial" haha fuckin nailed it
I love Clutch. Got their self titled disc freshman year in high school and it's been in heavy rotation since. Love the new stuff, too. And yes, I am overweight and bearded and 41.
The guitarist of Rise Against did a stint playing in Gwar.
Finn was extra critical this round.
Sepultura (max Cavalera era) and Soulfly were my jam for so many years
Hell yea songs like dead embryonic cells, territory,slave new world,arise,altered state, attitude,straight hate,look away, desperate cry just to name a few were kickass.i thought they were one of only a few bands that could keep pace with Pantera.
Outback Steakhouse commercial comparison on point 😂
Finn please listen to Tools album 10,000 days. It’s heavy af and has amazing production. I think you’d enjoy Jambi and the Pot. I know Tool gets some hate but they are a great gateway band into prog metal because a lot of prog metal bands don’t make very digestible songs for new listeners.
That early ministry songs sounds like early Rammstein. I like the sound of that.
Also... You just can't put Tool and Danzig on the same level. Tool up to A tier!
I can't believe I agree with Finn in regards to Ministry. I agree with Finn about once a year on music.
River Runs Red IS the best album, and Caputo's vocals are iconic. S+++
Holy hell, that's where Volbeat's sound came from. Pretty much just Life of Agony.
Thank you! I was trying to come up with the band on the tip of my brain that sounded so much like that. Volbeat. You nailed it.
Bro you nailed it I’ve been saying that for a while even the shit from the 90s we thought sucked is still better than most of this shit around today idk. Metal has come a long way but I’m not directions I think? Love the content man
C A R C A S S ! ! ! Where the frig is Carcass on these lists!?! Heartwork is absolutely superior.
Dude…you did Danzig and Crowbar dirty. Sonic Excess In It’s Purest Form is a fucking killer album!
As for Clutch….Spacegrass, The Regulator, the entire Earth Rocker album…all fantastic!
LOA during the Keith years were amazing. Saw them on Gigantour. Can’t really get into them these days…the new music just doesn’t hit the same.
Finn on point as usual. Life of Agony is so good. I didn't really know much about this band so thanks for dropping them in here. Also, back in the early 2000s I had a couple friends constantly fanboying Clutch and I just never got it. Clutch is terrible.
GWAR sprayed me on Saturday. Was awesome AF.
I've been a clutch fan since high school and I understand not getting them. They're just a straight forward hard rock band, no gimmicks or anything except the occasional harmonica or organ part though. But they do it well and they've evolved very well musically I think, they have bangers on every album.
There's always a middle aged guy at the bar in black New Balance playing TOOL on the TouchTunes 😂
Finn , you know we need to speak about AIC
@@ghost_mall They're a Sludge band with the Grunge look , Same style with Acid Bath
Ministry shifted a lot when Mike Scaccia joined from Rigor Mortis, and sadly lost a lot of that direction when he passed.
Not really. They gradually shifted into industrial metal style from the land of rape and honey through Mind is a terrible thing to taste into psalm 69. They went further into thrash metal after Barker quit when AL did the Bush trilogy
Well the shift between Land of Rape and Honey and Psalm69 was pretty big, definitely leaned more on the metal than the industrial IMO for that album.
The Tool/Olive Garden analogy is on point
Love Surgery from Gwar when they start shredding is awesome!!
If you like metal or hardcore, you probably like Opiate and Undertow. Personally I love Lateralus, but they have horrible "I am smarter than you." online fans. Hell yeah, Ministry. Danzig can sing. I like Beneath the Remains better. Primus, really great funk rock/metal, but indeed became jammy later on. Through Silver and Blood is awesome. Meshuggah first albums are better than their later work, because the guitar work is more varied early in their career. Drumming is awesome all the time, but their later albums are monotonous. Clutch is not metal, but heavy bluesrock. Life of Agony sounds a bit like early Tool to me. Well, that's all I have to say about it.
I saw Mastodon with Clutch opening up for them in 2015. As soon as Clutch finished about half of the crowd left, I was like these foo's are really leaving!?!😂
I got introduced to Mastodon when they opened for Clutch in 2003
Ministry was at Lollapalooza II (in 1992) and probably had the biggest mosh pit going that day.. but yeah, straight downhill afterwards
I would like to see you talk about Sepultura
Me too.he did a whole video on Pantera and I dug that.i wish he would do the same with sepultura.they damn sure deserved it
My two favorite bands are Tool and Clutch, so.. Im feeling super triggered, Finn. Well done. 😂
Fucking same. I’ve never met anyone so adverse to Clutch.
I absolutely LOVE GWAR!!! "Preskool Prostitute" is equally as demented as "Rock N Roll Never Felt So Good"...lol...however since the death of their fearless leader they are just not the same. I met Oderus's human Dave a couple times and he was very nice and respectful. Met the bass player and Slymenstra too back in the day. I was put through the meat grinder on stage the first time I saw them. I believe that was in 1997 or 98...
I completely agree about clutch.
I’ve never gotten it.
Everybody I know that was in love with them are all in their 40s, and we’re big stoners in high school and beyond.
Maybe that was my problem of why I didn’t get it.
Yes! Keep em coming 🔥
First time I heard Primus was "My Name Is Mud" and at first I was like "wtf is this garbage"... but that bass got stuck in my head and I've been a fan since. They're super weird, but I like weird.
Sepultura!! No doubt! Now make a video about it!
That's what I'm saying. I think people have already forgotten just how good they were
