Hot Takes (Metal Edition)

Hot take: we're all annoying nerds who should shut up and respectfully let each other enjoy our noise in peace

Yes thank you exactly my thoughts "Metal Gatekeeper" are so annoying

[@OFFICALINTHECUTT]

No I'm a geek okay...rude

[@brandonware9335]

Dirt is one of the greatest records ever made. Layne Staley's voice is amazing AND SO IS JERRY CANTRELL'S!! Best vocal duo since Daltrey and Townshend

[@Xfirestorm8]

All of Boggy Depot is amazing, especially My Song and Cut You In.

[@brandonware9335]

100% agree. And Kinney played drums on the record too. What an amazing drummer he is. Such unique and interesting parts that sit so well with the song. You always notice what he's doing but he's not stepping on anyone else's toes.

[@vaeell6532]

Love Dirt. also love Facelift. Love hate love, bleed the freak, man in the box, we die young.. gonna go listen now lol

[@brandonware9335]

@@vaeell6532 I don't know if this is a hot take but I love all of the albums including the newer ones with William DuVall. Of those records, I like The Devil Put Dinoasaurs Here the best but my all time fave is still Dirt.

[@nightmares8213]

⁠@@brandonware9335 People aren’t too big on William Duvall which is really a shame because he is talented, but he doesn’t get much love because he’s not Layne The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here is a great album and is the closest we’ll get to 90s AiC without Layne imo, and that’s why it’s great

[@WCUmetalhead]

Modern Metalcore has evolved so far past the og sound, it's not even Metalcore anymore. And that's not a bad thing.

[@burnout1256]

The 90s was incredibly important for rock and metal music, wether or not you like grunge it was a huge cultural shift during the time, regardless if the music aged well or not

[@crankfastle8138]

90s was huge for almost every genre. Rap and RnB too.

[@Elias_619]

To the guy saying deathcore and metalcore are dead man you need to look around more there’s some pretty banging shit right now. Metal is in a good place right now I feel

[@embertheraccoon37]

That guy clearly has never heard of Tallah or Darko

[@Elias_619]

@@embertheraccoon37 Can’t say I’m a fan of Darko too much but I love Tom Barber in Lorna and now with Chelsea grin and I see why people like Darko, shit sounds maniacal

[@embertheraccoon37]

@@Elias_619 For sure! I love experimentation a lot within metal!

if you love grunge music, you could probably use a hug. for the guy that hates grunge music, he NEEDS a hug

I mean i HATE Nirvana and most grunge but Soundgarden, STP, Alice in Chains were amazing. Cant just hate an entire genre.

So glad to see this channel more active now. Every vid is a banger

Jared eats the whole chicken, feathers, bones and everything!

[@Hellseeker1]

I actually really enjoy watching the new kids listening to the old stuff, it warms my heart kids getting into Slayer and Megadeth. That's the shit right there.

[@Mr.Goldbar]

Agree with both the nu metal and anti grunge hot takes! I hate grunge simply because it killed my favorite decade, and nu metal is some of the only 90s stuff I genuinely like

[@crankfastle8138]

I was a 13 year old metalhead when grunge came about. Especially Nirvana and man did i hate it. I still hate Nirvana but there were some great "grunge" bands then.

[@Mr.Goldbar]

@@crankfastle8138 yeah Alice In Chains is pretty nice and heavy, and Soundgarden has really good vocals! But I'd take anything from sunset strip glam to bay area thrash every day

[@stevevandervorst6641]

Austin's vision on sleep token is 100% legit... I'm also not the biggest fan, but is definatly see why people do

[@Monius13]

Nu Metal has kinda had a resurgence already, but not in a huge way, yet. There's a few bands who really wear it on their sleeve, though! The band Darkmatter is a great example. Check out their song "Binge" and you'll see what I mean. They're on the heavier side, but the sound is there 100%. Not to mention my boy Taylor Barber and his band Left To Suffer. Again, on the heavier side, but you can hear that sick nu metal sound throughout their music. I wouldn't call either one specifically nu metal, but the influence in their sound is loud and clear. I'm hearing it more and more in bands and I am here for a full on revival of this genre!

[@Ruleof2Review]

Shoutout to the “ass to mouth” Clerks 2 quote that I don’t think anyone here was aware of!

[@MinusFiveStars_]

That Everlong take is spot on

[@MrMetalhorse]

Truly stinky song.

[@aurthurpendragon1015]

10:00 For me it's just because I get annoyed. I'm busy, and when someone keeps constantly bugging me to watch/read/listen to something, it gets on my nervers and so I intentionally black list it.

[@rebeccaclemons4900]

Ahhhhhh, I still love what's being put out within the new generation/community!!!! You just gotta continue being "open" with all the different genres of music...they are ALL BEAUTFIUL TO ME!!! ❤❤

I'm so glad you guys are doing more content on here. I've been watching all the new videos and they're gold. You should do movie and tv trivia with reactions. I'd love to see you react to Pitch Meeting, Bat In The Sun and so many more.

[@Dollparade321]

The grunge take definitely triggered me 😂 I got a bit offended I agree that Dave Grohl isn't really particularly special talent-wise

[@UltimateGamerCC]

yup, but he is devoted to his fans, which cant be understated.

[@crankfastle8138]

Im not a fan and he was a massive dick when i met him. But he does seem to have a good sense of melody when he writes. But yeah, nothing really special.

[@_inseanity]

I feel like "the summoning" is the new "boho rhaps" ... Guitar solo weirdly placed, beautiful operatic lines, strange structure, it's over 6 mins, and it comes from all different angles and explodes into a beautiful creation... Not to mention the front man is idolized massively already, and his voice is as well beautiful. Am I wrong???

[@randyrill327]

[@jcarman]

I'm incredibly disappointed neither of you realized the "ass to mouth" take was from Clerks.

[@VIPERFREAK16]

Came to say the same thing it was driving me crazy. Clerks 1-2 were amazing.

[@SatansTempleAura]

My problem with bands going Mainstream especially on TikTok is the new fan base. The music style change is a whole other topic.

[@noot6230]

Not only are Ben and Chris from the same state, they’re from the same town. Wilkes barre-Scranton. So Chris had like unlimited access to breaking Benjamin since the start. Of course they’re gonna sound alike. His main inspiration vocally at least for his cleans is Ben

[@NinjaMatt2201]

Some people need to hear this. It doesn't work as a hot take, if you aren't being genuine. At least a couple of these people are just trying to make people mad for kicks, or are just mean people in general.

[@markmiller2025]

Recent uploads are so good guys

[@anester1866]

the look on Austin's face when you pronounced the name Phoebe wrong..

[@crankfastle8138]

Dude, he needs an Irish name pronunciation challenge if phoebe tripped him up.

[@MrTSkiller]

I stand by my take.

[@Lolzosaurus]

It's kinda strange that this Nu-Metal conversation about it "coming back" took place at a time where this Nu-Metal / Metalcore Hybrid is gaining traction,... I mean does that count?

[@RyanConnell5150]

9:21 my dad tried for years to get me to watch the Mark Wahlberg movie Rockstar, even buying it for me on DVD. I finally watched it one day when I was bored.

[@JollyHaku]

I thought Nu Metal was already resurging especially cause of a band like Tallah

[@dakotahook4418]

Bro that FTLOY EP was soooo good

[@gengashaunt3322]

My Hot take expands upon one you discussed. When a band we love gets mainstream and we dont like that. This is going to be lengthy 1. When a lot of bands have gone mainstream, we witnessed changes we didnt like and after it happens so many times, its a knee jerk reaction to change. its conditioned, because we tend to remember bad more than good because bad we dwell on. So we remember way more times a band did this and we disliked it vs when bands blew up. 2. As you mentioned you dont have that niche little thing thats cool that not a lot of people like. I thibk it goes further than that though. While thats true, i think that when bands blow up, there is added pressure to release more and this affects quality sometimes and to be fair, theres TONS of stuff ive found where they just arent blowing up so they have time to get it right, but over and over again. Some bands just arent noticed despite that. I think pressure makes some people worse. Having those pockets of small excellent artists is nice. 3. When a band goes mainstream, people who wouldnt otherwise have an opinion or listen hear it and some dislike it because sometimes, you get posers out of it, acting like theyve always loved this kind of music but really know 4 songs and 3 are by 1 band, and their friend showed those to them. These people have....sloppy opinions. They can have them, but theyre clunky and arranged haphazardly because they dont understand it. Not to say you ONLY like it if you get it, but when someone GETS a song and actively pays attention to the content while these other people play emo dress up, and spend more time worried about their look to SEEM like theyre a part of a culture they arent its irritating. I personally dont like those people. But i love the look. Just dont play pretend. Listen to nickelback if you really like that, AND look emo, or whatever, but dont lie. I dont respect that. But who cares most of us are nobodies, us thinking ill of a poser is us taking it a LITTLE too serious. Music changes regardless of what a popular consensus is and metal had always tended to steer clear within reason, but some make more accessible music. Others use the sound and carry a simpler vibe or message, it just depends on what someone cares about ( within metal, like it being conveyed properly and not by someone who knows nothing about genres and why they exist speaking as if theyre aware when they arent

[@brandonware9335]

I don't like when the word 'accessible' is used with a negative connotation. (BTW I'm not saying that you are implying that because I don't know.) To create something hooky and catchy that is also very meaningful is truly a hard art to master. For every Nickelback out there, there are a lot of bands who are better musicians but just can't fit the pieces together in a way that reaches large swaths of people. IMO, hating on something because it is 'accessible' is like hating people who listen to audio books instead of reading.

And yeah brother, gotta love that HOT SOUP.

[@Sgtstd]

15:08 bold statement, ma dude!

[@TheMetalTempestYT]

Hot take: Metalcore hasn't gotten worse, you're just listening to the wrong metalcore. And to add, it's impossible to not like the genre or disavow it entirely, considering it embodies everything from hellishly heavy music, soft boy emo shit, beatdown hardcore, djenty prog stuff and so much more. There truly is something for everyone!!!!!!! Sincerely, a core fiend lmao.

[@Blkjohnny1337]

I don’t even know why this is a hot take. Bands like loathe and invent animate have been releasing some of the best metal core I’ve heard in general

[@MoonDevoured]

I'd agree that it hasn't gotten worse, it's just that a lot of people have grown out of it (relatable). I'll hear a lot of metalcore and think that it slaps until I hear cleans, and be turned off. and yet I'll hear metalcore songs with the same style cleans that were among my first favorites when I got into metalcore, and enjoy them nostalgically.

[@SamuelStudios]

Fucking based. I talk about how great 2023 was for metalcore all the time and people always bring up stuff like Polaris and Of Mice and Men's new album but we got some of the best albums in years for every style of metalcore. Melodic metalcore, metallic hardcore, mathcore, and the djenty metalcore had some of the best albums they've had in years.

[@devonatty1399]

For the first hot take. I definitely felt like that with bad omens

[@RyanConnell5150]

Titanic II was a TV movie written, directed and starring Dick Van Dyke's grandson Shane Van Dyke. It was making fun of the original movie. It wasn't supposed to be good.

[@Durkhead]

[@ZAiNETH]

Me and the boys that get kicked out of a dive bar for moshing to Upon A Burning Body at the pool table every month ask, please do a For The Likes Of You reunion tour before our deaths. Even if Austin’s the only OG member

[@TheCoronaMortis]

100% agree with Deftones.

[@Manawy-uv4mz]

The Titanic 2 sounds like a Tubi movie

[@Eazyrun]

"In the heat of the moment, it is okay to go ass to mouth." Matt O., I enjoyed this Clerks II reference a lot! I agree with the second take about grunge. It had its time, but in retrospect, I don't understand the fuzz about it. It sounds like stoner, hard, and butt rock. It was a great time, but grunge as a genre made no sense. Almost as little as some of the lyrics of these bands. I feel like the genre was invented to market Nirvana even more, and we all fell for it.

[@dennis_moonlight]

Lol I had the same Digitech Death Metal pedal as a kid and I confirm it did sound like sand 😂

Hey guys! As always I'm on autoplay and this video popped up again, I just let them go. I don't care if I've seen them over and over again. I just wanted to say that I really do miss the live chats and hope you're able to do it again at some point. I get it, you can't tell your viewers not to cuss which if I remember correctly was the reason they were demonetized which absolutely SUCKS!!! Even if you did bring it back I may or may not be able to participate because of my work hours but it's still fun reading other people's POV too, we'll just have to see what happens in the future.

[@Reed0Sparky0Leighton]

Naw. That hot take on Bohemian Rhapsody actually kinda on point for me. I put it on for the first time in idk how long. And I really wasnt on board. Like artisitcally it was still well done. But it objectively is all over the place.

[@mazareen]

Whoa what happened to For The Likes Of You? I thought the video for Forlorn is legit the best music video I've EVER SEEN FOR REAL! Que paso?

[@PeytonBass-wl3ld]

Hot take!: 1. Doom metal isn’t that bad… Don’t like traditional doom? Give some death/doom a try! It’s better than what people say (people I know of) 2. Deathcore > Metalcore Metalcore > Hardcore 3. Doom is the heaviest genre and Riffs > Breakdowns Let’s be respectful of all opinions and hope everyone has a wonderful rest of their day! Keep up the great work!!!

[@Kb07drummer]

4:20 I do think there is a bit of a point to be made with this comment, and as someone who loves korn and soad but hates Fred durst (Wes is a goat obv) I can objectively acknowledge that bands I love like LP will by definition fall in the nu metal genre. But those bands and even that era (lamb of god, pantera) are for sure important metal history

[@JUNK_ZONE]

I have an argument for the "hipster" thing. I truly just think that a few bands spend the MOST time on those first albums to the point where they're genuinely THAT good by comparison to their other work. Also, don't think any of the Titanic sequels are officially linked to the original.
