Man that drummer is so cold. One of the best to do it.

Their compositions are so masterfully done. Top level vocals, super chunky guitar, and perfectly powerful drums

[@drasticbread249]

Classic song, classic album, brings me back to my high school years.

[@mastod0n1]

Me too. My freshman year when I was getting a ride to school from a neighbor kid he would play this album a lot and I fell in love with it. The songs still take me back to those days.

[@foxmulder8139]

One of the BEST songs ever written, GOD tier music!!!! The drumming is my favorite in any song ever!

[@davidriddick82]

Their best album to this day “Toxicity” 🔥🤘🏻 Catchy ass song and a banger from them too

[@TheKoolPlayer69]

I prefer their first self title album as the best album, but toxcity had a lot of great hit songs.

[@nightowlrasmus9930]

memerize best album

[@DragonFly-qm4vh]

I think Needles is very underrated. Plus, as other guy said, Steal This Album is awesome (the deep bass and guitar are just eargasms)

David Riddick “Steal This Album” is my favorite. Love all their stuff.

Great video. Might want to give Deftones a try if you're in a early-00's mood. "Change (In the House of Flies)", "Bored", and "Minerva"are great starting points.

God, Chino writes such great songs.

The Passenger

[@maynarddrivesfast804]

While I agree that he absolutely has to check out Deftones, I feel like Digital Bath would be the best introduction to that band. Lots of hip hop fans seem to really connect with that one.

[@luked78]

@@jamelakajamal If you like how this song is a little wacky yet pretty intense, might i also suggest "Jerry was a racecar driver" by Primus. I'd also suggest more straightforward hard songs like "Cowboys from hell" by Pantera, and "Stinkfist" by Tool. If you want to learn and broaden your horizons into these genres, these are some good bands to explore. Finally, you liked the drums on War Pigs so much, you have to check out Black Sabbaths live version in Paris...1970 maybe it was? Its on here, you get to watch the drummer Bill Ward actually hammering away like an absolute madman.

[@nickmoryn1117]

Been watching dozens of your videos over the last few days, and loving every minute of it. Most importantly I love that you take the time to go into the deeper meaning of songs, especially from genres that you didn't grow up listening to. We all naturally gravitate to the music we listened to in our formative years - teens and early twenties, and the mark of a true scholar of music is branching out into new things and really genuinely trying to appreciate why people love that which is foreign to you. Keep it up my brother, you're a positive force in a negative world!

It's funny how a circumstance can sway your opinion about music. That happens all the time to me at work where I have to listen to a wide variety of mostly Pop/Contemporary. Sometimes I hear a song and like it immediately, or after a while, only to find out that when I discover who sings it, I'm sometimes in complete shock.

[@Kundalini12]

I recently saw a video on Twitter which was captioned something like “normalise listening to rock music at Nigerian weddings” and this is the song that was playing.

I have been to many Kings games at the Staples Center and a few Ducks games at the Honda Center. I wonder if we ever crossed paths. I am over in Beverly Grove.

[@Metal_Archaeologist]

Small things matter. Those tiny nuggets with which we find common ground can be more impactful than the huge BS that divides us. The tiny nuggets we share can give us empathy into another person's perspective. If we dig a bit deeper, we find we're really not so different. Once we get to that point, we start to love and respect our fellow man. Peace!!!
