Why is Lil Wayne missing from this list?

This list is cap. The real way to rank guitarists is by the amount of pedals.

this is a comment for the sake of engagement.

If Frusciante comes to the barbecue, be prepared for him to crash at your house for a week.

Finn has two moods: Nu Metal and hating Tom Morello

Tim Henson looks like the chiseled Squidward from that one episode when Squidward was hot

Where is Jerry Cantrell😭😭😭😭

You can poke this BBQ, I'd rather go down the pub with Dave, Kerry and Dimebag. Nobody wants Tom Morello around them lol

As a local guitarist of slightly above average skill, and minor repute, I am here to be angry and indignified over the lack of (my) inclusion on this list.

Tim Henson is the guy that will show up for a couple hours and leave before you bring out the S’mores because of some cooler event he has to get to

Tom DeLonge would ABSOLUTELY be invited to my BBQ!

"Is Tom Morello invited to the BBQ? Absolutely fucking not." 🤣

Please do a part 2 and include the fact that during their album recording session, John Petrucci was casually out hosting a barbeque outside. Man is an S tier guitarist, amazing player and he can grill.

I think Mateus Asato and Tosin Abasi sprinted so Tim Henson could move at supersonic speed

Tom would make everyone bring something of equal value to the BBQ

No Mark Tremonti!? The dude was pretty much the pillar of the entire post modern grunge era (Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, Cold, Hinder, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, the list goes on). 3 successful bands (Creed, Alter Bridge, Tremonti, guest appearances, and an honorable mention to the Sinatra solo stuff). Influenced a large generation of modern guitarists and basically brought back the guitar solo on modern radio with "Open Your Eyes." Like wtf Finn?! But that aside, thanks for the list, it was fun.

With the Dime thing, I'm not going to make excuses for him to using that word. All I'm going to say is that his path to redemption was cut off. Mike Williams from Eyehategod used to wear rebel flags, but he has since denounced them because he does not like the way people feel when they see it. Something he said he knew nothing about until he took a trip to New York and someone told him what it meant to the rest of the country. Dime didn't get that opportunity to learn what that word meant to people not in his vacuum. I think if he was alive today, he would not have been impressed with himself in that moment. He would likely denounce that video and his use of that word. Unfortunately, that opportunity was taken from him, so I don't really see the value of judging Dime in the early 2000s through the lens of today. Especially since he is no longer here. People are complicated. Good people can do awful things. Bad people can do great things.

I love that you said that about Wes Borland. I was not a fan until literally about 3 months ago. A live show of the band came on and I saw his playing and went down a rabbit hole emerging a fan.

This barbecue is kinda ass not gonna lie.

And Dimebag is most definitely invited to the BBQ. I’m not excusing use of the hard R, it is not okay. But newsflash, I’m willing to bet every single one of those old school metal dudes from the 80s-90s threw around the hard R or have at the very least used it before. Saying he wasn’t a good person just because he said that is a bit far I think. Again, not saying it’s okay. But i have literally never heard a single person who met dime regardless of race or what have you has ever had a bad word to say about the guy. You could say that’s because of how he died, but people don’t have all nice things to say about Lennon (for good reason) and he went out almost the same way.

Tom Morello is certainly the "Communism works in theory" guy

Standing next to Tim would make me feel like such an insignificant human that I would instantly become spiritually enlightened and understand my exact place in the universe, or I would lose the will to ever do anything again.

Part of me is sad that John Petrucci isn't here. The other part of me understands. Easy B-tier, maybe even A-tier: he's gonna show up, laugh at some jokes, talk about being a dad, bring some sodas and chips, and just generally bring the vibe of "High School Teacher, off the clock" to your party. Update: recent information has been brought in to make him S-tier. Grilling is an S-tier BBQ trait.

Tim Henson is a real life anime character

Tom would show up the BBQ and demand that you know who he is, and then slap an old lady for wearing a Maga hat.

I really love the "who is invited to the BBQ" lists you do, Finn.

Thanks for posting today, Finn. I needed this today, brother. 👊

You know you've made it when you've been invited to an infamous Finn McKenty tier list barbeque

You should've done *Mark Tremonti*

I met Tom DeLonge once. I brought up U.F.O.'s once and he would not disclose anything of the topic

Still waiting for the BBQ with Finn Show.

People can't get shit-faced there? What's even the point of having a barbecue then?

*Synyster Gates* is def. *S* Tier His Solos got Soul *Roman Sky* still gives me Goosebumps 🔥

What is the name of your band? I've always wanted to hear you play.

I remember when i saw Tim Hensen for the first time and i was like fuck you nobody that good at guitar is allowed to be that hot. He's supposed to be a short pudgy balding guy in his mid 40s.

Wes is seriously underrated. His costumes were because he was a visual artist and had to stop when limp bizkit took off. So he got to use his art stuff on his costumes. As for the list, you missed per nillson and jeff loomis?

Is there a guitar teir list?

Hey Finn, have you watched the full NAAM/Dimebag video for context?

I’m actually friends with a friend of Tom morello and have hung out with him. He’s actually a really fun hang.

I would love to see a ranking of drummers next!

Tim Henson looks like his voice would crack when you confront him in his fishnet shirt

Good list. Good topic. Maybe do keytaruists next

Is this a Reupload? I am having a huge dose of deja vu watching this! The sysnister Gates dad chat and Kerry king chat seems super familiar?!

Nobody has to make excuses for Dimebag because he's dead. Who knows what he'd be like here in 2024, maybe he grows into an upstanding bbq worthy human being. Then again maybe not. We still use Pantera as our NHL theme down here

Great chill show Finn - cracked me up when you got to Tim Henson’s review! It may be another tier, but the humour and dialogue is still 10/10❤

You are 💯 on Morello. No one wants a Debbie downer at their BBQ

Finn after you do videos like this you should post little polls on the community page for us to vote who we think should get to come too.

Another awesome video

Didn’t mention Mustaine’s guitar abilities, skipped straight to bbq acceptance…his guitar abilities are legitimately Top Tier sh**

I randomly ran into Kerry King last week in NYC at a bar and he was chill af… and I’m a minority.

I love you brother! You're list is amazering😊

Finn you should do a show titled "THE BARBEQUE"

I know I'm being a stan here, but Tom Delonge is, in my opinion, legitimately influential. "I miss you" live on pepsi smash, or the "a letter to elise" cover, the way he transcends his technical inabilities with a couple of effect pedals on those performances in particular, is Morello level innovation. He did some truly groundbreaking stuff between 2003 and 2005.

It would be cool to just do a tier list about awesome BBQ guests and nothing else. It would be the top of the tier list for tier lists.

Kirk Hammet seems like he might be fun Talking comics and horror movies

My vote would be for Slash. His soulful style and the emotion he puts into every note, along with his proficiency, make him a cut above the rest. And he’s clean now, he would have some great stories for the barbecue. But better bring some extra burgers because I’m sure he can put down quite a few.

Dude you should make your logo a shark fin. That’d be a badass nickname lol

What I really want out of this channel is a Barbecue Grill and Accessories tier list

There’s so many underrated metal and deathcore guitarists, Joshua Travis for a perfect example, he was in Emmure, ghost cloud, Tony danza extravaganza and monuments.

I love ALL your tier lists Finn, never stop them. Just hilarious.

EVH Is the King He literally changed everything when it comes to guitar

i sleep with my guitar mostly bcuz im too lazy to put it back in the case

I love your videos keep up a good job

For me, i keep coming back to this channel for more tier lists about who finn is inviting to his barbecue. Definitely seems like the kind of barbecue i wanna be at

Idk about calling Dave a racist based on what he said about Obama. I’d need more. There’s a difference between throwing the N word around and not liking/trusting or saying things about a politician.

Hey Finn could you do a video on poison the well growing up in the scene in the early 2000s they were a huge influence on so many bands and got so many people into hardcore and metalcore

BBQ guest tier list

Finn: people that want to have conversations about real shit? Fuck that. I want surface-level conversations at my gatherings.

Every tier list just really boils down to who Finn would invite to the bbq 😎

Wes Borland would be really quiet and overly courteous at the barbecue. If you run out of ribs, he'd offer the ribs off his plate to people who already eaten more than him. Then during charades he'd go absolutely wild. Tim Henson would steal your wife and end up in a committed forty year marriage with her.

what about a boob shaped guitar checkmate Finn

That take on dime is mind blisteringly dumb.

Where is Muhammed Suicmez, guys from LoG, Tom Searle, Trey Azagthoth, Matt Bellamy, Dino Cazares and many others?

Lol my mom testified against Fruiscante and Keidis in the 90s for sexual harassment against another college student

It'd be interesting to see if John Sykes (Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Tygers of Pan Tang, etc) would even appear. Heck you'd have to have a search party or milk carton of 'Have you seen me' to even contact him (and finish his solo album).

Why am I not on this tier list

Ok, we're getting quite far through the video. Something is wrong if Mick Thompson and Jim Root aren't included. They work off each other perfectly, Disasterpiece from the Disasterpieces DVD for example. All the noises they make into intros and tracks. Surfacing is another great one, and The Heretic Anthem where Mick is playing and then Jim slides in to join (All Disasterpieces)

Tom Morello like the Steve Urkle of guitarists. I wouldn't invite him to my BBQ either.

Wow, that "Gates" shirt is almost equivalent to Adema's dude dirt bike jersey

You sounded like my best friend Henry when discussing Tom morello and I loved every second of it couldn’t help but laugh out loud 😆👏🏻✊🏻

The bit with Tim Henson bringing a bunch of bitches vs a bunch of dudes made me laugh my ass off 😂😂

Can we do a video for the drummers?

You mention that the start of the video that viewers seem to more interested in guitars than boobies .. May I suggest you do a tier list of best and worst boobies and we'll see in real time if the reaction is more on the outrage side of things or another reaction ..?

The most important criteria: would Finn invite the person to his BBQ? 😂😂

“Dave Mustaine silent on the topic of Metallica” lol

I feel like these are actually invites to Finn’s barbecue..

the Tim henson tangent got me fr. He'd stay fr 30 mins and next thing u know him and ur girl have gone missing

Finn forgot that Jeff Hanneman would collect German Nazi memorabilia and on one of his guitars on the neck he would have the SS logos 😆but killer guitarist and rip to him.

Finn, my dude…. your down to earth intellect is what makes you approachable, intriguing and more likely to buy you a drink and get to you.

I dont know guitars and dont know if its very technical stuff but Four Year Strong guitars always stood out to me.

We need a Finn's BBQ invitation tier list video

At this point Finn we need a bbq guest tier list

Next do a Guitar Virtuosos one. With Yngwe Malmsteen, Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, etc..

You get excited to hear the guitarist for Slayer's coming to the cookout only to salary remember Jeff died

I had the pleasure of hanging out with Dimebag on his tour bus a few years before he was killed. I watched him bring a black homeless dude on the bus and I watched him share his drinks with the guy before stuffing something like 500 bucks in his pocket before sending him off. Him using the "Hard R" toward a white guy does nothing to sway my opinion of his character. He's invited to every barbecue I ever throw

Good video Finn.

Would much rather go on the barbeque with Tom Morello, Dave Mustain, Dimebag and Kerry king, while Finn can have Tim Hansen and the Limp Biscuit guy..

Do a part 2

Oh Finn you’re gonna rustle some jimmies with this one

Good tier list
