It's crazy how early some kids hear this stuff. Didn't hear Metallica and Maiden until I was 14. That's when I found real metal. Before that it was Aerosmith and Guns N' Roses. I'd say those guys are more hard rock than metal.
I'm also 42. We have a little corner of old farts here 😀 I started with Hendrix and Black Sabbath. Then, unfortunately, came the phase of nu-metal, but fortunately, there was also alternative metal and grunge. Then I became interested in stoner, hardcore-punk and finally black and death metal. I discover new things all the time :-) The 90's fucking spoiled me :-D
I feel like I went through the country, jazz, classical, and Indian Konnokal phases throughout this last year, not even joking, it is EERIE how accurate this video is!!!
Yeah, the same. I think, especially musicians go through this. Atleast I did thinking it would make me a better player. It did not. Because I don't like it. Back to hard rock and metal.
@@user-lw8pr8ll1k @go1988 It's Deathspell Omega's Fas - Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum album. An avant-garde black metal band that plays a lot with dissonance in their music! I would recommend their 2010 album Paracletus
Despite my dad actually having loads of Black Sabbath records (and me listening to them as a kid) I never considered them particularly heavy. I simply thought they were a cool and really groovy rock band that sounded unlike any other. All of that changed when I was 13 and listened to Painkiller by Judas Priest for the first time. Now *that* is heavy.
I can listen to Iowa and Meshugga before it gets too much for me. I tried checking out a Grindcore record recently and I do get the hype, it probably just needs to grow on me.
"Intense black metal phase" so true, lasted 10 years in my case. And the last one is super accurate too, as I returned to Slipknot 15 years after being a supermad fan in my teenage years :D. also, instead of country/ blues, I have a new wave / synth pop / post punk (ongoing) phase.
Currently sitting in the obligatory country stage. What can I say? I legit did a little Jazz before hand. As a Bassist I do enjoy the lines. Found it funny how you nailed that. I had a bit of a classical stage a few years ago. Looking forward to the Indian Konnakol phase... That's gunna take some explaining.
@@Randybobandy024Pop and mumble rap peasents, too fukin real man, before I got deep into metal like I am now, I used listened to that shit, making myself think that shit was good, now I realize its just not good music, Im not saying that about rap in general though.
I think 2017-2018 was my "Now THAT'S heavy" phase, mostly blamed on Slam Metal for entering my life. Because that really opened up my mind to Grindcore and even some Noisegrind things. Nowadays I just put on whatever tickles my bones the right way be it Morbid Angel's "Formulas Fatal To The Flesh" or J-pop. I honestly don't care anymore for "heaviness" in the sense of wanting more and more of it because at some point you're just going to be listening to TV static and wonder to yourself "so now what then?"
Well said! One could say slam metal is where you receive the bottom of the barrel. I could easily switch from listening to Devourment in one song and the next one being Linkin Park's. Also, Formulas Fatal To The Flesh is my favorite Morbid Angel album!
@@yvesheinrich5013 The same here, just a little more complicated because for me it's a tie between Altars and Gateways, just because I tried to find out which one of the 3 I liked more and gave up because I honestly can't tell if I like one of them more than the other. But Slam Metal I'd say now feels more "refined" ironically because a lot of it is still trying to have a bigger production (If we're talking like Vulvodynia stuff) whereas a lot of Grindcore and primitive forms of Black Metal tend to strip themselves down instead and sound like a toaster breaking down. Not saying I'm not into it, but overall I feel like Grindcore/Black Metal likes to veer off into more incoherent styles than Slam does. Either way great to see someone who gets what I mean at least to some degree, I don't dislike the very primal styles of Genres but it's kinda dawned upon me that they're pointless to seek out just for the sake of getting something "heavier"

For me it was a bit of a circle. It started with Queen, went from there to Dio and Alestorm, then to Motörhead, Metallica and AC/DC, finally peaking at Slayer in terms of heaviness. From there on it dropped to the oldest metal bands like Deep Purple, Zeppelin and Sabbath, took a twist to the stoner territory via Sleep, Orange Goblin and Budgie, and now am listening to lots of blues and trippy prog.
How accurate, after 8 years of ascending the metal heaviness ladder, 2 years quitting to listen to folk music, country, jazz, blues, everything and anything, now I'm back at grunge and Metallica/Pantera as my 2 fave vibes from "when I was younger" 🤣
Dude, this is exactly what happened with me but starting at the age of 12. I started with Bon Jovi, moving on from my obsession with Queen, Prince, Michael Jackson and 80s Pop & Soft Rock. Then I made a playlist of more “Rocky” stuff, since my favourite song was Livin On a Prayer. Then all of the Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Metallica, and the rest all started to fall in. I still listen to that playlist and I can’t get enough of it. I can’t even explain how happy I was when my guitar teacher taught me to play Back in Black (AC/DC) Thanks for this video dude it was hilarious.
Can't believe how accurate this is. Nowadays what I'm listening the most is the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal. In a world of 8 string guitars I find so much Confort in standard tuning and high voiced singers.
thrash (old Metallica in particular) was my thing since 3d grade (roughly since 2003), then in 2015 I discovered stoner/doom, and that lasted for a good 4 years. I'm 29, and I feel like now, the less hair I have on my balding head, the more I like hardcore punk and even a bit of grind. also been listening to a lot of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, who have like 20 albums in all sorts of genres.:D

Same here! I’m absolutely obsessed with Brutal Death Metal ATM, specifically the technical side of it. I’ve listened to Cryptopsy’s None So Vile and that spiralled me into Suffocation, Deeds of Flesh, Dying Fetus, Nile, Wormed and Defeated Sanity.
The feeling of needing something heavier and heavier is definitely a real phenomenon with metal enthusiast, feeling something is missing musically till you find it is also a thing; and the ecstasy of finding the true metal sound your soul had been craving all along is life changing, a love and addictive for life 🖤

In Finland our "heavy metal journey" starts when we are like 5 years old because we literally have heavy metal bands for kids, like "Hevisaurus". Also our dads and uncles listen metal (or hard rock) basically evyrywhere they can 😃.
I started with Blind Guardian via a Tolkien meme, got into Dragonforce via a crush’s recommendation, got into Maiden and Nightwish via a TH-cam channel, got into Trivium via their live-streamed shows, got into Soilwork and Amorphis via fanfiction (don’t ask… or maybe do, IDC) There’s been more, of course, but those are the highlights. It’s been pretty unconventional, or so I’d like to think.
French metal wasn't enough for many of us, we got into mongolian metal, japanese metal, thai metal, indian metal, nordic folk metal, maori metal and even dinosaur metal four our children 😅
@@himinthegulf8338 Well, not really. Southeast Desert Metal is an Australian metal band, comprised completely of indigenous people, in the middle of the outback. It is some of the most passionate and powerful stuff I've ever heard.
I though I had finally heard someone playing the heaviest metal ever in my neighborhood, until I investigated and realized it was a guy with a tractor dragging a metal storage container across a parking lot...maybe I need help....lol
What happened to me: The first song I reportedly ever heard was “My Little Man” by Ozzy. By the time I turned 5, my favorite band was already Death and my favorite album was Leprosy. Still is today.
bands like Ulcerate and Blut Aus Nord are probably the pinnacle of heaviness and amazing songwriting for me so far. my work supervisor recommended me 777 - Cosmosophy earlier this year and I havent really been the same since.
Damn. This is scary accurate. Went through all of those phases and now I'm blasting whatever my playlist randomly plays. Now I'm one of those guys listening to brutal death metal, Hard Bop, trance, rap, classical and whatever chill music sung by all those gorgeous female singers with mellow voices and occasionally Luke combs or those sweet Russian deep house beats
I'm at the stage where it's either the utter chaos of extreme metal like anaal nathrakh, 45 minutes of distant chiming, reverb on one minor chord and whimpering from Bell Witch, or extremely chill stoner rock with really grimy low tuning, I've been listening to a lot of elephant tree lately. Idk what phase that is.
literally it was like this, I started to like METAL because my father kept putting AC/DC albums to play in the car, then I got to like it and I went deeper and today my musical taste is divided into listening to Samba, Death Metal and other musical styles.
im 28 and when i was 5 years old y listened to megadeth for the first time. god rust in peace change my whole life. bradley youre amazing a big hug from argentina

On the real, love your videos man, you're the best youtube guitarist on this platform in my eyes, idgaf if you don't have tutorials or educationa vids, this shit is too good. Keep it up Beanly! Ima go watch some Albert Lee videos now
Man, you made me spit my coffee with the french music pun 😂
In Finland our "heavy metal journey" starts when we are like 5 years old because we literally have heavy metal bands for kids, like "Hevisaurus". Also our dads and uncles listen metal (or hard rock) basically evyrywhere they can 😃.
Have you ever watched this one? m.th-cam.com/video/EPcfeO10tWc/w-d-xo.html. Finland seems like an interesting place.
I started with Blind Guardian via a Tolkien meme, got into Dragonforce via a crush’s recommendation, got into Maiden and Nightwish via a TH-cam channel, got into Trivium via their live-streamed shows, got into Soilwork and Amorphis via fanfiction (don’t ask… or maybe do, IDC)
There’s been more, of course, but those are the highlights. It’s been pretty unconventional, or so I’d like to think.
well, the best stuff still lays ahead bud
@@8o86 Nah, she already said Blind Guardian.
Dude this is actually the realest thing ever currently going thru my classical music phase ..
im in the classical phase right now, and your example, Webern, is really accurate cuz I fcking love 20th century classical
very accurate 🙁
For a moment I thought your pfp was TBDM - Nocturnal.
French metal wasn't enough for many of us, we got into mongolian metal, japanese metal, thai metal, indian metal, nordic folk metal, maori metal and even dinosaur metal four our children 😅
Nordic folk metal? That just sounds like 2nd wave black metal with extra steps
Ah yes dinosaur metal.
Pop pop pop! Popkornipulla!
You haven't lived till you've listened to Southeast Desert Metal. Check it out.
@@eukyaliptiss So Kyuss?
@@himinthegulf8338 Well, not really. Southeast Desert Metal is an Australian metal band, comprised completely of indigenous people, in the middle of the outback. It is some of the most passionate and powerful stuff I've ever heard.
I though I had finally heard someone playing the heaviest metal ever in my neighborhood, until I investigated and realized it was a guy with a tractor dragging a metal storage container across a parking lot...maybe I need help....lol
Love you for including Shostakovich!
I’m sure you’re referencing “Lords of Chaos” right? 😂
@@BradleyHallGuitar it was a weird movie.
Spot on mate!
Dude you sumed up my whole life in like 2 minutes
What happened to me: The first song I reportedly ever heard was “My Little Man” by Ozzy. By the time I turned 5, my favorite band was already Death and my favorite album was Leprosy. Still is today.
Just like everyone else I started on my dads old cds, except his was NIN and rob zombie and I was 8. Good stuff
The Last words in this video hurts more than they should
bands like Ulcerate and Blut Aus Nord are probably the pinnacle of heaviness and amazing songwriting for me so far. my work supervisor recommended me 777 - Cosmosophy earlier this year and I havent really been the same since.
Damn. This is scary accurate. Went through all of those phases and now I'm blasting whatever my playlist randomly plays. Now I'm one of those guys listening to brutal death metal, Hard Bop, trance, rap, classical and whatever chill music sung by all those gorgeous female singers with mellow voices and occasionally Luke combs or those sweet Russian deep house beats
BRO WTF THIS IS SPOT ON LIKE IM LITERALLY GOING THROUGH MY JAZZ PHASE AS WE SPEAK LIKE WHAAAAAT
I love how accurate this is
I laughed so hard at the konnakol part. Mattias Eklundh's right forearm is tingling somewhere at the mere mention.
Okay, now THAT is heavy
I'm at the stage where it's either the utter chaos of extreme metal like anaal nathrakh, 45 minutes of distant chiming, reverb on one minor chord and whimpering from Bell Witch, or extremely chill stoner rock with really grimy low tuning, I've been listening to a lot of elephant tree lately. Idk what phase that is.
Spot on!
literally it was like this, I started to like METAL because my father kept putting AC/DC albums to play in the car, then I got to like it and I went deeper and today my musical taste is divided into listening to Samba, Death Metal and other musical styles.
youre pretty spot on here. my country phase was bluegrass haha
Friggin genius my friend! You made me lol at French bands 🤣
MASSACRA :D
This is sooooo accurate!
im 28 and when i was 5 years old y listened to megadeth for the first time. god rust in peace change my whole life. bradley youre amazing a big hug from argentina
holy shit you've accelerated my evolution by a lot thanks
amazingly accurate. I have come full circle and basically just have S & M and rust in peace on repeat.
Instructions unclear, I ended up on a weird Eurodisco (mostly Italo-Disco) phase that evolved into a Balkan folk and Gypsy Music one.
This is frightingly accurate
Lol you're in Stevie Ts Sims video. Hahah lol it was pretty funny. N 3 way awesome video mr. Hall
Spot on.
NOW THAT IS HEAVY
I remember finding the Ace of Spades on the CD shelf when I was 12/13, never had I heard something so loud.
Why is this so much accurate?
"Okay, now THAT IS HEAVY"
Been in the death phase for 8 years and going down the rabbithole of grindcore and deathcore recently. 2014 I went from slipknot I had downloaded on my iphone 4, to cannibal corpse in a matter of an evening. Now that's a good evening right there sir
Whats the name of the song for the deathcore phase?
The evolution of every guitar youtuber: The phase when you're just copypasting the same clip with different text on top and the guy in the comments points it out, so then you can start the phase where you make videos about your youtube comments.
This video could alternatively be titled: Metalhead Goes to the Gym.
this is so scarily accurate goddamn
nailed it, again
I hate you for how accurate this is dammit.
The transition from Pantera to Cannibal Corpse is a bit harsh. I think there is the link missing, namely Death
That was scarily accurate.
Wow! This is 100% precise! We are at same stage.
This one hit close to home
I skipped classical phase but if Bloodywood counts as Indian I'm already at the end jamming to Dark Tranquillity, Trivium and (old) In Flames.
As an Iron Maiden fan, I am just appreciative of the fact that you decided to stick to them in the end.
Been listening to metal for 23 years, I've made the full journey, that Nile section was just too close to home 😅
I've been in the "cope with the impending wrath of old age" stage for about a decade now
Fuck, mate. I followed that path almost perfectly, including the end. Mix in some obscure Norwegian/Mongolian/Tibetan chanting and we got a full god damn bingo. Thanks a lot.
So true. I've been playing thrash and death metal for a long time and now I'm studying at jazz school as a bass player
Okay! Now THAT is heavy!!!
I use to listen Black Metal and Grindcore a lot and now i started to listent to punk again
Pretty accurate 😄
Missed the blues phase though
Okay now that is heavy
