Movies painting that ideal picture of romance and relationships was a very deliberate tactic by Hollywood. The DeBeers diamond monopoly used Hollywood films to popularize the diamond engagement ring as a way to propose marriage. Engagement rings weren't a thing until movies made them popular. The rule of thumb used to be that you were supposed to spend no less than 2-3 months salary on an engagement ring. Which is how they convinced people to spend more on gaudy diamonds that aren't actually very rare. DeBeers mined so many diamonds that they began to stockpile them. Which is why it's extremely difficult or impossible to resell diamonds for anywhere near the price you paid, because diamonds aren't actually rare, they were artificially hoarded to make them seem rare.
Bruh…. You guys cover my FAVORITE band, and I see a Whalers hat. It’s a good day. Enjoy Alien Ant Farm. They are supremely underrated and under appreciated. I hope you guys do more of their stuff.
Like I've seen another comment say, I wouldn't consider them nu-metal but they definitely got put in that category and played with those types of bands.
Trouble with this song I always had was, it seemed like the label were forcing it to be a "hit" they re released it at least 3 times with 2 different videos. Just felt really corporate back in the day.
I never really thought of them as nu-metal but they definitely were lumped in with other bands of that time. Saw them open at a show with Orgy and Spineshank. It was my first time hearing them and Smooth Criminal fucking killed live! Definitely suggest the These Days video of them crashing the BET awards.
Absolutely love this song and video. Seeing Mr Miyagi making a cameo was brilliant; “Daniel-son, shut up”! But… never realised until my boyfriend pointed it out, after every verse he finishes with “ah” Can never listen without hearing it anymore.
You should check out the band Muthas Day Out for Nu Metal Monday. The song Locked popped into my head yesterday and I can't get it out of my head. Lol. I remember seeing the video on Beavis and Butthead back in the day.
12:04 Once when I went to see the Russell Crowe Hugh Jackman Les Miserables at the Arclight because concession prices there are insane Also gotta get to These Days and Glow but outside of Numetal Monday
This was always my fav song by them. That being said, PLEASE DO THE GOO GOO DOLLS' "NAME"! ORIGINAL ALBUM VERSION (NOT MUSIC VIDEO CUZ ITS SHORTENED). I'M GONNA KEEP ASKING TIL YALL DO IT. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SONG AND HAS AN INCREDIBLE SOLO. LOVE THE CHANNEL BROSKIS. DUECES!
yo I know y'all love nightwish, well I found a band that is considered similar and they are awesome the band is called amaranthe and y'all need to check out their song called amaranthine
Love the channel and the work you put in brothers!!! Looking forward to a Metallica - Invisible Kid video one day. St. Anger was the one and only real Metallica album.
Yes finally behringer you got it mind control, yes they want to have you eat a bunch of empty calories and watch"watch a movie" instead of going outside but that's not just the movies that's everything literally
You think they look more punk but that was the California style. Looks just like korn or deftones or blink 182 or no doubt. Id suggest courage or wish by alien ant farm but the whole 1st album is good
Always made me think more of pop punk? The kind of song that could be on most radio stations. For NuMetal I’d still like to hear IMN by Mudvayne. To this day, that song makes me want to grab Monday by its remaining ear.
Yea, they are considered NüMetal. Also considered one of the Worst NüMetal bands ever. We booed them off stage in Dallas halfway through their second song back when I was in highschool(they were the first band on the main stage at Edgefest 2001). I don't think they ever came back to Dallas after that. Literally the very definition of "One Hit Wonders" and honestly that hit wasn't even that good. It was mid at best.
One of the most underappreciated bands of all time.
seriously, their bassist is super awesome
This and Smooth criminal were the only songs i liked
Their song "these days" is awesome! They actually crashed the BET awards to make the video. Have to check it out
Check out "these days" aaf at the bet awards show!! It's great!

Merry Christmas guys

I'm 38 years old and Ive only fell asleep once in a theater through a whole movie but that was due to a hangover lol
My old band got to open for these guys 🤘😁🤘
Ooohh poor Monday 😅😅hearing is the first to go 😅✌💙😎🖤
Fucking WHALERS!!!! Let’s go!!! Love it.
Trouble with this song I always had was, it seemed like the label were forcing it to be a "hit" they re released it at least 3 times with 2 different videos. Just felt really corporate back in the day.
Yeah i agree. The label were trying to push them into that nu metal wave.
That might be true, but tbh I had never heard of them until I heard movies. To this day its still one of my favorite songs.
They've come back and are doing music again.
Lead signer's voice is exactly the same.

Haha right when you lost Mondays ear my earbud fell out!!! Great timing! Lmfao

Can never listen without hearing it anymore.
This one always reminded me of 36 Crazy Fists, check out ‘Blood Work’
You know the best day of the week when you are retired….
Monday 😉
@@ob1wagonobi don't I know it 😄
And I finally get to join the ranks of retired.. this January🎉😂❤
Alternative rock or alt rock. That's what it is. Late 90's to early 00's.
The only song I have heard from them is Smooth Criminal. Something about this video reminds of Peter Gabriel in the video for “Sledgehammer”. 🤷♀️
You guys need to check out Spineshank Smothered.
Shrew. Ms.😅
Fun video, kicking band, always enjoy them.
✌🏼😁🎶❤️🍁❤️🎄🥃✨️🕊
Shrew Tribe Ooooo-Oooooo!! 😂

I liked wish by these guys the most
Morning, guys! Hadn't heard or seen this video! I think they have a punk sound, too! Fun video! Good choice!:)
I always thought this was a good album. Wish is my favorite song by Alien Ant Farm. Check that one out!
the theaters now are way too loud for me to sleep, even if i did get sleepy it won't be long for a loud scene to start shaking the room
It's like pop punk and Incubus had a baby
It's not pop punk, this album was nu metal and alternative rock
@51-73-i6w ok
This was always my fav song by them. That being said, PLEASE DO THE GOO GOO DOLLS' "NAME"! ORIGINAL ALBUM VERSION (NOT MUSIC VIDEO CUZ ITS SHORTENED). I'M GONNA KEEP ASKING TIL YALL DO IT. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SONG AND HAS AN INCREDIBLE SOLO. LOVE THE CHANNEL BROSKIS. DUECES!
Yes!!!!
I feel like I would put them pretty firmly in the late 90’s pop punk scene. I was there, they were definitely not Nu Metal. ❤
Can you react to anger in defeat
yo I know y'all love nightwish, well I found a band that is considered similar and they are awesome the band is called amaranthe and y'all need to check out their song called amaranthine
Hollywood Undead Chaos
Love the channel and the work you put in brothers!!! Looking forward to a Metallica - Invisible Kid video one day. St. Anger was the one and only real Metallica album.
Uh oh Monday lost an ear 😆😩

Figured I'd stop back by, been a while. Still no Acid Bath reacts. . . . .guess it'll be a while again🤨

For NuMetal I’d still like to hear IMN by Mudvayne. To this day, that song makes me want to grab Monday by its remaining ear.
@@Henryetah good pick
They're not nu-metal. I'd love it if they went back to the beginning and reacted to "These Days", I think they'd get a kick out of that.
@@darkcaste 💯
This is when audiences realized their original songs didn't sound like "Smooth Criminal" and it was all over after that.
they're kind of a strange mix of nu metal and pop punk. And their singer doesn't handle being heckled very well. I know that from experience
This song deserved a much better video. Musically, it's a great song and imo the video takes away from their talent.
Day 379 of asking for a TWRP reaction. 😅
I never thought of these guys as nu- metal. I also never thought of them in the same way as Sum 41, but I’d say they’re closer to Sum 41.
Die die my darling from metallica next :D
LOL Nah. If they’re gonna expose themselves to that songs or the first time, shouldn’t they listen to the original at least?
Can't stand their music. The frontman is strange.

Yeah they fit nu metal but diet nu metal. The biggest surprise is they are still going in 2024.
@@metalguru85 yea, that's insane that they are still playing. I have to give them props for that, actually. If anything they are resilient.
@Redacted-i5b awww did I hurt your feelings lol
@@DefinitelyNotBenderhe’s got a point though, no chance you’re from that time when you’re using the phrase “mid”. It’s just hard to believe
Wtf I'm pretty sure they're better than most nu metal bands that you like. Smooth criminal cover is instant classic
