Get that bag king.

THANK YOU for pointing out that 2014 was somehow a decade ago.. it’s been making me and everyone else fairly so sick: so little, yet so much has gone by. How??

he's slip TAKEN

*To the edge And your friends are dead

I was just thinking how I could do this and you beat me to it 😂

really makes you crawl in your skin with those wounds that will not heal

I love Snarky Puppy's music and performances but am not familiar with the group.. Do I understand correct that they are done with the project and will not (likely) release new music or perform live under the Snarky Puppy name?

@@wavewithus4081 I'm pretty sure you're messing with man lol. As far as I know, Snarky Puppy (the jazz band) is still a thing. Skinny Puppy, the industrial band formed in the 80s in Canada, had their final tour this year.

@@EdwardStumpp_Music oh man I totally misread skinny as snarky! My bad hahah, my brain sometimes..

The only song i really listen to from SP is assimilate but i respect their influence over industrial

Nirvana put grunge/alt rock on the map. Blink put punk pop on the map. They really are similar in terms of mainstream influence

​@@LinktoSonicGreen Day and the Offspring did that in 1994?

​@@errixGD had that moment when their albums were weak and then the flagship pop punk band was blink.

@@dominikaksiazek7177 I won't argue that. Blink are great.

Proof that a band that is mid at most can make it big due to that app.

Hot chicks = music gatekeepers

I can, because they sound like a R&B/boy band.

Pretty much!

the two wealthiest counties in the country are in Virginia. Virginia is doing fine.

Nah, they are only big this year cause they blew up on tiktoc, the other albums are just as crap as this year's

@@leegriffiths8910 Oh so you’re with that Russian vocalist with the face tattoos and the muscles who called Sleep Token vocals “Gay” 🤣. Some guys have their masculinity threatened by Sleep Token somehow, they listen to those bands that have barely any chicks at their shows so, you tell me.. what’s wrong with this picture. If those guys actually got passed that and gave it a real listen, they would notice it’s very well written pieces of Art Music with deceptively simple parts. It’s all one guy that writes the stuff and bounces it all with a very talented drummer… Maybe the 3 million people who follow them on Spotify also use Tik Tok ( 2 truly evil inventions ). But along with a lot of other people I don’t use those and found them on good ol’ KZfaq

​​@@magusking9215wow, they really got you brain washed into their cult too Huh? Just because I don't like them doesn't mean I'm with another certain group of people. I have my own opinions and tastes and they don't line up with sleep token and it's got nothing to do with them sounding "gay" that's you projecting. But wow, you really have lived up to the shitty sleep token fan base 😂😂😂

​@@leegriffiths8910but why did they blow up on Tik Tok tho?

Yeah, I got into them right before they blew up, like summer 2022, and as much as I immediately loved them, I in no way predicted they would blow up THIS much, but I am so here for it

I like butt rock and even I won't touch Creed

Yeah

Sorry, don't care what Finn says, you like a band that I don't, you're getting swirlied.

Hey man to each their own...

I don't really listen to them, but if one of their songs come on when I'm in a public place I HAVE to do the voice, which is cool. Happy for you guys.

Butt rock and Nu-metal is big business. Can't knock the hussle. And Pump Rock of course.

I love Ab more than Creed but I started with creed and don’t mind waiting another 6-9 months for AB if it means I can get a couple new creed songs even if it’s the 2012 unreleased songs

Always was

Love you Finn!

Love it

Much respect for you Finn

@@FinnMckentyPRMBAGet the bag sis $

But you clicked, right?

You forgot Sleep Token, because they're not metal either.

Trying getting into metal from other countries like japan and mexico there a lot of good bands right now in those countries also check out more underground artists like big chief just look up "big chief iphone" on youtube and you can find a pretty funny metal album

He's also the top of his game and the most famous he's ever been right now so take that as you will haha

@@leegriffiths8910 yikes…

Wow, hate much?

​@@EphraimIgnacio You not liking it doesn't change facts

@@leegriffiths8910 success and popularity do not exclusively conflate with quality or artistic ingenuity/integrity. People like FiR for whatever reason but people also liked Coldplay and voted for the Nazis.

And Death Magnetic did too. Both also had too much filler. 72 Seasons is much more consistent but nothing as splashy as Spit out the Bone or My Apocalypse.

Death Magnetic was a great album ruined by really shitty mixing. All Nightmare Long, Cyanide, The Day That Never Comes, and My Apocalypse are all absolute bangers and some of the best writing they've done since puppets, but the mixing is so fucking awful that it drags the whole record down

Broken, Beat, and Scarred is my favorite off of Death Magnetic, but I like the songs on Beyond Magnetic more.@@havokmusicinc

It’s definitely one of the albums of all time

I have listened to a bunch of their songs trying to figure out the hype and I haven't heard anything metal from them. They look metal but sound R&B/boy band. Ghost is more metal then Sleep Token. I defended Ghost as a metal band for their first three albums, but I can't defend Sleep Token as a metal band, because they are not.

I loved Brendans banter in the beginning but now it's just 🙄 and concerning. I'd like to see END tour more next year where he's surrounded by some more solid emotionally stable dudes to keep him grounded lol

Because it’s one of their worst albums

Because it's not even worth mentioning. I was the biggest A7X fan from 8th grade to 1st year of college. I seen them on thier Nightmare Tour and Hail To The King tour. After 6 agonizing years of waiting. I was genuinely upset at how lackluster and disappointing the new album turned out. I was hoping so bad for a return to form of something like a mixture of Hail To The King and Nightmare albums. Shoot I'd have been happy as hell with a Waking The Fallen or City Of Evil sound. They clearly tried to be innovative and experimental. And some bands can pull it off and even move the needle so to speak. Like Bring Me The Horizon has done. But this was not that at all. And finn forgot about mentioning it because let's be honest. It's the kind of album you would easily forget about when none of it is worth remembering outside of MAYBE The song Nobody which was halfway decent. I think The Rev truly might have been the secret sauce of Avenged Sevenfold. His last album was Nightmare which he practically finished before dying. Since A7X basically did a tribute album to the greatest bands making songs that sound similar to already huge songs like Sad But True. Then they did The Stage which was mediocre with a couple good hits but compared to the new album its GOD TIER. This band has more talent then most every will between Syn, M, Shadows, Thier Drummer and the rhythm guitarist. Way too much talent to waste it making songs like they did.

The Sleep Token fan is absolutely brutal

AlterBridge is just so great!💪

If I may humbly submit a reply - No, I don't think you're going crazy. AND, at the same time - I think you're getting very hung up on this "being metal" concept, to the point you've got more comments on this post than any other (that's not me throwing shade at you either, respectfully, it actually helps add context to your feelings.) This whole authentic metal vs. mainstream validation, in the humble opinion of an absolute nobody over the internet, is at best unnecessary and at worst, toxic. You obviously love metal, the bands and songs in your rotation are not just music to you, but a part of your identity. The downside to that - is that as fans we tend to become territorial. It's the only possible explanation if we have an issue with something we love becoming popular. You ask the question, but at what cost? Then the only cost listed is YOU don't like the sound, and feels it's not "metal at it's core." From what I gather, you're an "OG" when it comes to metal. And if I'm even remotely right on that, the metal you grew up with and loved was not the popular metal, it was not the stuff plaguing the airwaves. Times have not changed. What's popular and trending may not be your cup of tea, that's no different than me loving Lamb of God when everyone else talked about Limp Bizkit. Or when I wanted to listen to Megadeth while what trended was Motley Crue. The arguments will never end when it comes to what something is SUPPOSED to sound like, especially when we're talking about music that's so ingrained into our lives it's become a part of it. So no, you're not crazy. You're more normal than you think. And, I also don't think metal is heading in a bad direction. Because at the same time we see the popularity of bands like Sleep Token and others, we got AMAZING metal releases from bands like Suffocation, Tomb Mold, Ahab, etc. And bands like Sleep Token, or Bad Omens, even Spiritbox, can be stepping stones to those heavier, more traditional sounding metal bands. There really is something for everyone now. I hope I didn't come off like a jerk in this reply, and I'd be curious to hear from you what newer metal releases this year worked for you? :)

How is Ghost more of a metal band than Sleep Token? Almost all of their music is just dark pop rock. They have little to no metal riffs, no intricate metal drumming, etc.... Sleep Token obviously takes elements from pop and r&b, but they also are clearly heavily influenced by heavy rock/metal. Their drumming and guitar playing is much closer to metal than anything you find in Sleep Token. They have groove. They have riffs. They have guitar solos.

Ghost's entire first album is 100% a doom metal album. I would even argue Ghost's 3rd album is a metal album. Ghost has more metal riffs then Sleep Token. I have yet to hear a single thing I would consider metal from Sleep Token. But then again I also can't make it through a single song because I hate R&B @@justsomerandomguyman
