😅😂😂

Awesome! I love the fact that it doesn’t have to be an album that was just released. Great format

Gonna have to look for more from these guys. Was on an Acid Bath kick this morning. Should pair well with it.

Came for the convo, STAYED FOR THE YOB REFERENCE! Saw them last year, loudest show I've ever experienced

If the glove 🧤 dont fit you must acquit! This surprisingly works for someone who loathes country music. Just enough blues in there. Gonna be checking this one out some more!

Also worth mentioning that Harjo was recorded by Scott Evans from Kowloon Walled City at his studio here in OAKLAND! WOOHOO!

Hell ya, thanks for the mention guys, and gassing up all these great bands! Love what yall do!

Loooooove this!!!!

The bloopers and out takes should be fun for this one lol

This was a blast! Always, always champion the underground!

This is intense after a Mike Tyson Gummy 😂😂😂

This is a blast from the past for me. I used to have this CD and probably have it buried somewhere and totally forgot. A gem.

This is a very interesting subject! Thanks for doing it 🙂

I ran a group in a treatment center here in Chicago centered around a song by A Perfect Circle. Most of the clients were not fans of any music with guitars let alone heavy music. The song stirred up a major breakthrough for a couple people. Rollins Band helped me tremendously. I couldn’t stay sober with just heavy music BUT having access to various genres of metal & writing music as well, has provided moments of ‘catharsis’ & courage to face my own self induced Hell / trauma. Trauma stores in the body at the cellular level & between clinical therapy, recovery program & the music, I was able to move the trauma out of the cells of the body up into my consciousness where it could be faced, resolved & eradicated. Permanently. I had an experience in the studio recently during a particularly intense screaming vocal passage & I ‘fell out’ in the vocal booth & was in tears. I saw two major traumas flash before my eyes & they haven’t returned since. I appreciate your guest saying, “It needs to be helpful.” The music can be therapeutic but depending on the person, certain songs can do the opposite & re traumatize someone. I.E. Might not be a good idea to play ‘Daddy’ by Korn to a survivor of child sex abuse. Not trying to be funny. It’s serious business. There’s a fine line between help & harm that’s why it’s so critically important that clinicians are properly trained & licensed.

"You are a musical being" that hit hard! This was amazing. I am curious why music seemed to help my alcohol recovery in particular. My musical tastes changed...would love to hear you guys discuss that more in depth! Awesome, important interview, thanks Scott!

This is absolutely fascinating. I have no idea how to go about finding this therapy in Indiana, but I’d be super interested in pursuing this therapy. Music is the only thing that makes me feel okay with me at my core as a man. This gave me a ton of food for thought. It answered a ton of questions and raised a hundred more. As soon as my wife gets to stop making Jackson Pollack paintings in our toilet, I’m going to show her this. This is PERFECT for me. Hope she gets well soon!

Just found you. I'm diggin' it. Thanks.

Oh my GAWD my hillbilly heart is soooo happy right now. My God this is phenomena!! Makes me so ready for hunting season!!

My gosh.... me likey.. 😮

All hail the RIFF!!!!!!!!

💯on King Crimson’s Red! John Wetton’s bass tone is still to this day the gnarliest bass tone ever. Totally agree that this album was the birth of prog-metal. So many bands wouldn’t exist without this classic banger!

Thanks for sharing this Scott! Been really digging your content! Cheers 🤘

This is so goooood. I love it.

Hell ya KCMO!

THE RIFF SHALL NEVER END.

Vitskar suden in the background, mad respect

Scott, I used to teach fitness classes. We have just enough time to get you in great cardio shape for being MC! 😂😂😂

Hell yeah I'll be seeing them tonight with Green Lung, perfect time for the algorithm to toss this my way

I might relate? 😂 CLEEN Rocks! Great chat!

I will be honest I am more into punk than stoner and not sure if its the case in the US but here in the UK you have a few stoner bands who have an audience who very much not just your stoner rock "crowd" Orange goblin for instance because of their heavy motorhead influence have a big punk rock following at their shows, same with uncle acid and the deadbeats due to the big detroit garage rock influences on their sound, as with my previous comment I'm just trying to rationalise where finn could be coming from.

If OM had guitars, woah.

A great clip of someone making it obvious they don't listen with their ears 🙌

Jesus. At this point I might as well give you my Bandcamp login and just make my purchasing decisions yourself. Lmao this is fantastic!!! Ong!!!

This album has been getting a LOT of playtime at the Fuzzcut house

We haven’t done it enough. Until someone records and releases a 24 hour drone metal composition, I’m simply never going to be satisfied. My appetite for riffs is that of a dragon’s for hordes of gold, only I cherish and protect my cassette and vinyl collection far more greedily

Cant stand the poser mba. Ive caught him giving incorrect information a few times. Pretentious isnt even the word for him.

Woohoo!! Scott you’re hysterical!! I have David Coverdale stories. I recorded with his long time engineer Bjorn Thorsrud. He had stories!! 😂😂😂😂😂

It's very ironic for a guy whose identity is so wrapped up in punk rock to call any other genre boring. The vast majority of punk is sloppy and samey. There are only a few bands (of any real nototriety) like Dead Kennedys, Fear, and Misfits that actually made interesting music occasionally.

Yeeeeeessss!!!!!

i've found Finn often times just gives an easily disprovable opinion on a thing and just keeps going forward. there is a bit too much info missing. too many puzzling ascensions of fairly mediocre bands. truncation all around

i just think it's a bit weak and lazy to do a video reviewing a genre without actually researching it. it's low effort and kind of goes to the quantity over quality thing i am seeing a lot of.

I played in two doom/stoner bands in the early 00's, and I quit because I got heart sick of playing with bands that just re-hashed Sabbath riffs and invoked that era as a substitute for thought, care or originality in thier music. There were some great bands, like Dark Castle, Worship, Mournful Congregation, Hierophant etc, but for every one that was pushing the sonic envelope, there was a St. Vitus clone, cranking out the ooooh yeah yeahs! in thier charity shop flares. I still dip into the scene from time to time, but not much has changed since I walked away from it.

Bloody Hell you really glazed him up in that intro. Props for being completely open about your fanboy status though. Not a fan of Finn, don't find him that influential at all in the heavy music scene, and certainly not a fan of Ronnie Radke, so I'll I'll agree that this video is probably not for me.

If someone said this in any of the previous comments that i haven't read, i apologize. But, to elaborate on what you said about bands or band members not being stoners, but still make the music and are passionate about it. Bongripper are a sober band, and i love them. I was lucky to have found a vinyl copy of "Miserable" at McKay's a couple months ago. So, yeah. You don't have to be a stoner to enjoy the culture. I really liked this video, Scott. Finn can keep his opinions to himself when it comes to our music of choice. I listened to Lowrider's Refractions earlier today at work. Love them and super stoked for the Elephant Tree split. Ok, I'm stoned and rambling. Have an amazing weekend, everyone 🔥🤘

Anyone who thinks that there's not enough craftsmanship, dynamics, variation and melodies in stoner metal should listen to the last few Elder albums, it's not true that they're just "recycled Sabbath riffs", not that it's true for all the other stoner metal bands either, but it's especially not true for Elder. I like Finn Mckenty's meta-commentary sometimes, but every time he talks about my favorite metal genres like prog metal or death metal he shows a lot of ignorance.

I remember watching some of his videos then I stopped watching him after the pattern of his videos became apparent; Punk is high and mighty but metal is shit and metalheads are stupid. I love punk Rock but as a metalhead first I really didn't need to take his shit.

He has to read the def off wikipedia, why does anyone who cares about this genre care about his opinion other than to jovially chuckle at this guy? But hey, I have no idea what I'm talking about ever. I bet this cat can't name three songs. nyucknyucknyuck So cute, his opinions are so cute. It's kind of precious. By the way, the years of 1967-1972 ARE HUGE those years were wild, you look at the time line and you're going beatles, hendrix, zeppelin, sabbath, omg the timeline matters so so so much. (Also, suck it, Rings of Power.)

I like Finn and how cohesive and direct he can be on various topics but I feel that sometimes his opinions only makes sense for him self, and that's ok, but when you have a large audience, you should pick the subject matter that you have at least some level of knowledge to speak about. There are so many great stoner bands and even more amazing bands that has stoner influences in their sound... Komatsu (Netherlands), Earthless and Red Fang (USA), Kadavar (Germany) are some of the ones that I saw live in recent years here in Brazil and they are all great and different from each other! Actually I also saw Eye Hate God live, but I prefer doom over sludge. Loved to find your channel, keep it up. Cheers!

Finn who?
