Fun fact: In 2012, I went to a shitty bar in Pensacola FL and caught and AfroMan show. The dude was aggressive with the crowd, especially after someone passed him a joint with synthetic gas station weed in it, which was all the rage in 2012 FL. The whole set he played a double neck guitar and awkwardly solo’d over the back trackings of his hits. He, as in AfroMan, was not only was the “main event” but he was also his own DJ. All of his songs were being played from a pre-2009 iPod and you could hear the clicks as he scrolled to the next song in the set. Top 3 best/worst performances I’ve ever seen.

Agree with most of the points about "Lips of an Angel", but the line "I guess we never really moved on" makes me think it was written about a former lover that didn't work out but they still feel for each other.

Yeah I feel similarly. She was like a. Role model for me growing up in the 90s, and I felt like when she switched to the different style, it was a bit sell-out-y (I don't say that often either) and I thought a lot of her songs were really basic and annoying.

A good note with Hinder- in some of their videos, you see the guy throwing his head back at weird angles while singing. We used to joke that he was on drugs. Then, we tried playing a singing game & none of us could manage to match the Hinder songs & we couldn't figure out why.

I worked at a strip club and I can't tell you how many of those dancers LOVED this song, they used to argue over who got to use it each hour(cuz obviously if everyone is doing the same terrible song in a row it'd be torture, ½ naked girls on a pole or not.) And unlike the radio songs can live far longer in the club esp if a girl(s) decide they rly like a song. It was played a min of twice a night even 4 years down the road of the rest of the world forgetting about it. 🧡🦇

Finger 11 is in fact a rock band, paralyzer actually doesn't even sound like their other music lol

[@Blackielude91]

Finn’s “doing you all night” rant had me tearing up laughing. Chef’s kiss sir, this was excellent!

[@princegoatcheese9379]

I really like Gwen Stefani, especially in her previous band No Doubt.

[@SrSacaninha]

Oh man, those like/dislike bars... this video is already old school.

[@dannorris642]

So hilarious! I use to love Buckcherry; their song, Porno Star, is even worse. Also, Hollaback Girl was aimed directly Courtney Love, after she tried to call out Gwen as a popular, cheerleader girl. I had a few dude friends who hated Gwen/ND, and I never could figure it out (until lately). So, you DON'T like cute girls who play/are into music?🤔

[@psychotropictraveler514]

Finn was spot on with his comment in this one, some people just genuinely hate beautiful women. Its fucking weird

Those are the types of dudes who say “why do they pick assholes instead of nice guys like me” 🤣🤣

Your description of the 3 basic girls on the black eyed peas song made me laugh so hard! LMFAO

[@thyweebhub]

I disagree 100%, Hinder, Daughtry, Goo Goo Dolls, Life House, mid 2000’s Coldplay, Red etc are my childhood and grew up with that listening on the road while my mom drove us to our farm down in Kansas. Love this video though😂👍🏾great work

Daughtry 😂 I remember when he was on American Idol

Stopped at a Baskin Robbins on a road trip in 2009 my junior year of high school. Lips of an Angel was playing inside and this frat bro looking dude behind my family and I in line, was doing air guitar and rocking out The whole time. I was straight dying of laughter. That song brings a smile to my face because of that moment.

My audience doesn’t like it when I share my honest opinions. I think the smarter move is to just hide what I think and validate my audience’s taste in music.

[@Adam_is_invincible]

Nah man share your opinion if someone can’t handle it fuck em. Keep up the great vids

[@johnindigo5477]

@@FinnMckentyPRMBA I think we as an audience forget that you're human sometimes. In that youre a regular guy and there's things we'll like and not like about you. Especially on the internet we might subconsciously present a perfect image of ourselves since people only know what we tell em. We're all probably here because we like your videos on music and we assume everyone's on the same page as us, so it's easy to take things personally if we don't agree. I don't think you're out to get anyone. Idk I'm just some random dude but I think it's cool when our views are challenged.

When it comes to Buckcherry, I would argue that "Too Drunk" is somehow more cringy than "Crazy B*tch"

[@GlassThirdEye]

Meh I have been smoking weed for decades and I have a pretty successful career. It's not the weed that's the problem. If you are lazy, weed amplifies that but weed doesn't inherently make you lazy. It actually makes me motivated.

[@A.i.Riverz]

There's also stoners that are extremely physical everyday working out. Also, it definitely helps me easily get my job done at work

[@johnindigo5477]

I definetly agree with this. I kind of see were finns coming from since like you said lazy stoners tend to already be lazy people but the weed factored in can lead to a sort of high minded complex (no pun intended) where youll use weed as an excuse for any shortcomings. Like that guy who says he's enlightend and "is above the material world" and that's why we doesn't work. But Also take into account if someone's younger than 23 cuase you're already doing stupid annoying things at that age that you'll probably regret 5 years later anyway.

[@lordhyperkill]

I love the weed commentary . I was a huge smoker in my 20’s and you are 100% accurate. I remember my ex who worked at a dispensary saying weed didn’t effect her memory. The type of idiot who kept a blowtorch and dab rig under her seat. Not one day went by that she couldn’t remember where she parked. Not like at malls. I am talking at the market or the condo parking lot.

[@FinnMckentyPRMBA]

Man once you get into blowtorch territory thats just sad

[@henrikandreason7261]

I smoke once in a while, but I would never ever make by identity about it, and I wouldn't downplay that it's a drug that might have a negative consequenses if you take it.

"The first issue is his voice" 💀💀💀 I always thought that

[@haileene703]

24:53 Honnestly I saw No Doubt playing live in London at the Underworld (mid 90's ?), and it's to this day, it's still a very memorable and enjoyable live performance. Gwen Stefani was that real stage seducer that had this magnetic charisma making you belive that she was singing FOR you and looking AT you. She was amazing, and honnestly her live voice was pretty good actually. I don't get why peeps go hating her. Unfortunate she did go solo, I liked No Doubt for what they were.

[@AvB.83]

"Why is the singer dressed like Ashley Simpson? I have questions..." Ah, damn it :D As much as I passionately disagree on some points, honesty and actually know what you're talking about aside, those weird pop-culture references that you can't unsee once you know it always get me. As for the music... I remember really liking "Because I got high". I didn't mind getting high those days, and that felt just like an honest song about that. "Finger Eleven", judging from that one song, seem to have chosen the wrong name, they should have picked "The Finger Eleven" because they sound like just another of those annoying early-2000s "the" bands. They even kind of dress like one. As for Black Eyed Peas... a less then good german pop/rock band put it perfectly: "That's no music, that's the Black Eyed Peas." No disrespect to Fergie, she might be a great person, might even be a good singer, but when the Black Eyed Peas blew up with her as a singer... outside of German pop music (as in "pop music in German", which has some gems, but most of it is just the most generic, badly made piece of crap you can possibly think of), that's probably the worst insult to the ears that anyone could listen to without going completely crazy. Gwen Stefani though... that's still the template for a lot of female artists to this day as far as I'm concerned. Nothing that I'd listen to, but you gotta pay respect where it's due, and many artists these days would sound very different or not be internationally known at all without her.

Being influential does not always mean that you influenced anything good. It could be quite the opposite.

[@tommyz1082]

I ate food at a strip club once in the early 2000s. I ate chicken francais and penne and vodka on a noon Saturday while watching a midget wrestle naked strippers in a pool of jello and paid the 20$ to toss him at the strippers. It is definitely a memory I'll never forget!

[@miserableunoriginal]

Wow. What a good combo to indulge in while watching such high brow entertainment. That sounds like a story that seems impossible to be true but is too ridiculous to make up.

6:31 writing a song about it isn't shitty. writing a horrible song about it is. the difference that these hinder guys were not a good song/lyric writer, they uses corny unevoking languages, that's where the cringe came from. imagine a young sting tackling the similar episode in his life, he couldn't possibly write things like "sometimes i wish she was you" then slams distorted power chord with poppy progression
