TRYING TO GET MY NORMIE WIFE TO LIKE METALCORE

[@Nephzi]

As a drummer I love the idea that drums were that way because they "looked good"... meanwhile oldschool drummers had their toms at like 75 degree angles because they are so ergonomical

[@VARVIS_]

I still think they look pretty cool 😂, but I think somewhere between flat and 75 degrees is optimal

[@Nephzi]

@@VARVIS_ oh yea completely flat is terrible you'd be hitting tom rim shots constantly but like 15 degrees is perfect imo

[@nooo840]

you should listen to her music!

[@Narumi4918]

Something to bring up about the Prada > Attack Attack > Asking Alexandria pipeline is they were all recorded/mixed/mastered by the same guy, Joey Sturgis. - Prada came out first with Plagues in '07 - Attack Attack dropped Someday Came Suddenly at the end of '08 - Prada dropped With Roots Above and Branches Below in mid '09 - AND THEN Asking Alexandria dropped Stand Up and Scream AT THE END OF '09 Highly recommend looking into his discography specifically because of how much great stuff he's done. Specifically from '07 - '10 he did: The Devil Wears Prada - Plagues - August 21, 2007 For the Fallen Dreams - Changes - January 8, 2008 Attack Attack! - Someday Came Suddenly - November 11, 2008 Oceano - Depths - March 10, 2009 The Devil Wears Prada - With Roots Above and Branches Below - May 5, 2009 Miss May I - Apologies Are for the Weak - June 23, 2009 For the Fallen Dreams - Relentless - July 21, 2009 Asking Alexandria - Stand Up and Scream - September 15, 2009 We Came as Romans - To Plant a Seed - November 3, 2009 Of Mice & Men - Of Mice & Men - March 9, 2010 Confide - Recover - May 18, 2010 Attack Attack! - Attack Attack! - June 8, 2010 And that's just in 3 years! Insane amount of work and influence in such a short period of time.

[@VARVIS_]

Joey Sturgis is the absolute man Going to do a video on him here shortly

[@ryantannar5301]

I had some buddies who were in a successful (relatively speaking, still a local band) local band in the SoCal metalcore scene in the early 2010s. I wasn't in it, but I was pretty involved in helping them with setup and selling tickets and such. I miss all that. Between the 2am Denny's runs with all the bands and the amazing small venues out there it was easily one of the most fun periods of my life.

[@Nephzi]

Based on Evelyn's positive reception to Aussie metalcore we need an Aussie metal episode with bands you haven't show; In Hearts Wake, I Killed the Prom queen, Northlane (with Marcus on vocals)... but prog is what we do best Ne Obliviscaris, Karnivool, Cog, Twelve Foot Ninja, Caligula's Horse, Dead Letter Circus.... just to name a few

[@j.r.huffnstuff3549]

Hearing Evelyn talk about liking peaks and valleys in her music definitely makes me think about seeing her react to Deftones, Tool and A Perfect Circle. 👀

[@trebm]

Awesome! Let me just tape my headphones to my face while I headBang through this!

[@TheLadyDelirium]

Many of have learnt the hard why it's not a good idea to wear headphones whilst listening to metal.

[@the_dingo_show]

I think it's time Evelyn chooses her favourite tracks for VARVIS to rate

[@VARVIS_]

good idea

[@damianmanigat3926]

The band was around before the movie but after the book

[@pranavnnair5]

In the early 2000's metalcore video, Trivium, Killswitch, As I Lay Dying, Darkest Hour, All That Remains, Unearth, Bullet, Avenged Sevenfold, etc.

[@enikoghostsofgrace]

Never thought I would meet another person who also digs Northlane, Wintersun AND 80's Japanese funk and City pop, but here we are.

[@GeoVTuber]

Out of all the Metalcore bands to talk about in this video, Killswitch Engage and As I Lay Dying weren't part of it???? I understand there are so many to choose from, but those two bands had a huge hand in defining Metalcore! Hopefully we see a mention of them or a reaction video in the future!

[@VARVIS_]

@@GeoVTuber i will he doing them in the mid 2000s metalcore video!

[@Nephzi]

"They look like Australian beach boys" hahahaha perfect assessment after watching 5 second of them not looking like Aussie beach boys, you should definitely show her the Parkway Drive documentary

[@VARVIS_]

Thats a great idea!

[@hawkmoriss223]

[@jaksn8082]

The Devil Wears Prada got their name from the book that came out in 2003 formed the band in 2005 and the movie came out on 2006 🤓

[@evarvy]

Mystery solved! Thanks! 😊

[@MrRaven420]

Should show her the newer the devil wears Prada songs

[@enchilada93]

If you dont include something from your fellow Canadians, Misery Signals, off Of Malice, Mirrors, or Controller for the old school metalcore video I'm gonna cry 😢 Seeing them on their recent farewell tour was incredible. Would also like to see a vid on your high school music taste too! And do the lyrics instead of the music video!! A lot if metalcore lyrics can be pretty generic, but there's some amazing lyricists in the genre. Boundaries and Foreign Hands are two that come to mind, although part of the revivalcore going on in the last several years

[@Netjak]

Your reaction to Parkway is literally me! hahah I can't help but go wild XD

[@ethanw.eastep9673]

You must do a part 2 to this with Killswitch Engage, Bullet For My Valentine, Trivium, Etc Also you should compare classic songs from bands to modern songs from bands to see if she likes the mordern or classic metalcore better

[@goofygoober1816]

you should have her react to the really nerdy progressive stuff like opeth, dream theater, tool, etc. that would be interesting.

[@sakidickerson]

I'm 34 and remember this very well this era. Although I was more of a early 2000s melodic death metal rip-off metalcore fan huge recommendations for anything from As I Lay Dying Atreyu Shadows Fall Killswitch Engage and Trivium

[@Zilvia33]

You can't play Stick Stickly without playing the intro FIRST, RUN IT BACK

Another great one! I personally like The Devil Wears Prada's newest album. Maybe show Evelyn something off of that in a later video?

[@vincentmomont7538]

great video as always man👍🤘

[@viniciussolaron]

NOW WE'RE TALKING ON MY LANGUAGE i feel her when she said she liked attack attack stupidness and the old stuff you know, i feel that. ALSO IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VIDEO, BUT I NEED TO SAY, SHE NEEDS TO LISTEN TO HYPA HYPA FROM ELECTRIC CALLBOY, ITS SO FREAKING STUPID the devil wears prada mv is nothing compared to blasphemian mv from infant annihilator, i mean its disturbing but bro, infant annihilator is FULL OF SHIT YOU KNOW. AND NO DONT WATCH THAT THING, LISTEN TO ME, IF YOU SEE ANY VIDEO AND IT HAS WRITTEN IN THE TITTLE "Infant Anihhilator" BRO, GO AWAY, RUN, DONT CLICK ON THESE ONES, NEVER. pittsburgh is so fucking good man, never gets old, big choruses and emotions going boom, the i wanna cry vibe, really never gets old. BRO, PARKWAY DRIVE IS SO FKING HARD MAN, SHIT, i remember the first time i listened to them, i was like BRO THIS IS METALCORE? the band i was listening most was BFMV so that one was such a shock even for me. northlane such a good choice, the DJENTY RIFFS + clean singing so fkin hard

The problem to react to music videos is that more often than not, people end up reacting way more to the images. And most of the time these videos have absolutely nothing to do with the music.

You guys should do a modern metalcore / deathcore video!

[@nicholasmullins3693]

I got excited when I saw metalcore, then frowned when I saw it was 2010's metal core 🤣 I raged so hard when I first saw the Attack Attack video because it was so many things that I hated about the fashion and musical culture of the time all at once: the hair, the v-necks, the skinny jeans, and the decidedly emo clean vocals. I was definitely an early 2000s metalcore guy, preferring God Forbid, Shadows Fall, Chimaira, Killswitch Engage, and others.

[@VARVIS_]

Hahahah, dont worry we will be doing that era very soon

[@oblivininja1796]

The devil wears Prada is my wife's favourite band, she's been listening to them ever since the plagues. She even has a TDWP tattoo. It hurts to she that she gave them a 0/10 but that's life 😊

[@evarvy]

Tell your wife I’m sorry 😢 what’s her favourite song? I’ll give that one a try!

[@oblivininja1796]

@evarvy her favourite is chemical and never be sorry for an opinion

[@FrshChees91]

Hardcore next

[@TheMrKotovich]

As an Idea -- might be interesting to check Evelyn's reaction to how do these bands evolved. Like, taking their last releases, or like, last most popular. Cause, it's modern music that is easier to listen to. Some Seeing Red from Archs or Dark Void from AA or Glitch from PD. Yeah, sure, I'd like to see reaction on Archs from Ruin era or TAA from Severed Ties but it's just a harsh for a normal person to listen to and enjoy as we do it. Anyway great video, respect for scores!

[@evarvy]

I take my scoring system VERY seriously!

To lure her in to metal you should play her something like post 2013 Nightwish(with Floor Jansen) live performances. That way she could start to better understand and appreciate the metal elements in music.

No August Burns Red? On the more obvious side, no Killswitch Engage or As I Lay Dying? Or on the less obvious side, early Miss May I? Just scene metalcore and later? At least you spread the entertainment of crabcore

[@VampireJack10]

Maybe I'm a too old Gen X'r (I'm 50) but I could never take to metalcore. Not really a fan of the dual vocals aspect, the clean vocals always sound a little girly to me. But if you dig it? Great. Although, I'm going to give Northlane and Attack Attack a listen with an open mind, as they didn't seem too horrible. I'm looking forward to the introduction to Black Metal video Perhaps Emperor, Agathodaimon, Lord Belial, Melechesh, Mayhem.......

[@KreshDraven6]

Great video but not BFMV and AILD ? Painfull mate XD

[@sonictemple2925]

I hated this era of metalcore. My old band toured with Parkway Drive though. My old band played and toured during the late 90’s early 00’s. I think that era is far more interesting with bands like Poison the Well, Converge, Cave In, Snapcase, Earth Crisis and a ton of others. I think you should show her some doom like Electric Wizard, Windhand, Isis, Amenra and Pallbearer.

[@VARVIS_]

We will be doing that era of metalcore too. What was your band?
