If you're in a butt rock band, you play the Schecter on the first album. You get upgrade to the PRS after you play the opening slot on 10 midwest festivals. It's an achievement, like unlocking a new weapon in Call of Duty.

In Love and Death by the Used was a great album and I loved it when it came out but hadn't thought about them for over a decade and just recently went back into checking out all their albums I didn't pay attention to, and they are all solid. Good band.

That self-titled Crossfade album has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. So many catchy songs on there. Just like Chevelle this band connects me and my dad musically. Something we can both jam while wrenching on cars cause my Motley Crue loving father can only handle so much Through the Eyes of the Dead and The Black Dahlia Murder before we both start having flashbacks and he starts screaming at me to hold the damn flashlight still.... 🤣

As a drummer in a deathcore band during that era, I absolutely stole the ‘over the shoulder’ snare hit the JFAC drummer does after the big scream break.

It is hilarious calling that soul patch a landing strip. I will never refer to it as anything else now

50 Cent has created some of the best hooks in all of Hip Hop, especially since the 2000s, his major label debut album made history, I really don't see how such a horrible rapper could do these things

I literally transformed from 2000s pop-punk look to boot cut jeans, landing strip rocking spiky haired butt rocker. Now that I hit 31, I even got a PRS.

This deserves the KZfaq Video of Month award. I went through everyone one of those phases as a kid. 😂

Mid 2000s rap gave us the cringiest shit ever, rappers introducing themselves in the first 30 seconds of every song.

Contrary to what Finn was riffing about the Crossfade album being a harder 3DG album where he says the F-Word… they do not in fact say it even though they tried to. As it turns out, due to them self financing the production and release of the album, they only had the funds to release the censored version of the album. They couldn’t afford to take the risk of minimizing their chances of building a fanbase with an album with un cut cussies.

I don't care what anyone says, 50 Cent's Get Rich Or Die Tryin' is an absolute banger of an album.

Entombment Of A Machine. Fucking iconic. It still sounds so good today.

“Cold” was always my preferred Crossfade bop

The instrumental on the 50cent song sounds like it could be from Donkey Kong lmao

Dead wrong on 50 Cent bruh.

For better or for worse, that Crossfade album was my entry into harder music so I’ll love it forever. And always wish I looked half as cool as they did with the bootcut jeans.

"It's like the only drug (weed) that people make into their entire God damn personality..." Finn must have never met a meth head in New Mexico... 🤣🤣🤣

Come on maaaaaan... 50 made get rich or die trying. That album was fucking insane. Tho I agree his rapping became very sub par, Get rich or die trying has "instant classic" 50 verses. I really think Finn would like the album if he dug deep.. But he's a busy dude so I don't hold it against him.

I saw a video recently of River's dressed like he's in a zany, local, 80's covers band and he was using a Jackson Rhoads V to play some clean soft song to an arena full of people. Everything about it was off-putting. but the worst part was seeing an arena full of people enjoying it.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 🦃

I'm one of the odd lovers of things heavy and that djent but Weezer just can't do any wrong to my ears... I've always loved throwing on some weezer

The most admirable thing about Weezer is that they’ve had a crossover pop hit in the 90’s (Buddy holly), 00’s (Beverly hills), and 10’s (Africa). There are literally zero other rock bands who have managed to pull that off, and I wouldn’t put it past them to have another hit in the 20’s. I never go out of my way to listen to their music & honestly it would be nice if they could just go 3 years without releasing another album of songs that sound just like all their others. But as hard of a time rock music has had in the mainstream in recent times, it’s cool that Weezer keeps finding their way in every now & then.

This remind me when I used to skateboard in the mid 2000's while rocking black and gold G-Unit sneakers and baggy ass shorts.

50 cent worst rapper of all time!!!?? You are insane! 50 is one of the best if all time, it's not even a question. 50 cent wangsta is a classic. Everything he touched back then was amazing. Everyone knew what wangsta meant by the way

Wankster: it is a wanna be gang member or thug. It was a derogatory term to call out guys who acted like they were about that life when they weren’t. And if you wanna call .50 out just understand he got shot 9 times and lived, the man who shot him is dead.

50 one of the worst rappers? You're literally trolling lmao

I'll admit it, I always kinda dug that Crossfade tune. Chorus drop was pretty solid and felt like it almost had... Sevendust vibes, maybe? Doesn't hold up but I still like it!

All I remember of JFAC is the story when they played in Munich during the Oktoberfest. One member drank several litres of beer in the afternoon. He was so drunk during the show that he was kicked off the stage by their singer.

I could smell the cigarettes, stale beer and misogyny in the first video.

it wasnt too long ago you could still see that dew rag under fitted hat and street wear fits in the hardcore scene, especially with that toughguy and beatdown styles

I don’t think I’ve heard your take on Atreyu. Growing up in the Midwest I found a whole new world of music hearing them. I missed the hardcore scene but hearing them broadened my musical interest. Now I think their drummer was the only real talent. Would have liked to hear him with a talented band, but I still eff with it.

Outside the Blue album, I've not been able to enjoy Weezer. Not that I think they are terrible, I just would never choose to listen to them. Beverly Hills is a good example of a song that... exists. That's about it.

My cat is named Yung Joc

The Used slaps! Then and now and always.

I catch a lot of shit for not liking Weezer, and I don't know why. I think they're just a hugely overrated band. I feel like their fans are punishers too, and they have to give themselves a pep talk every time they listen to them.

Entombment of a machine is still my song of choice when driving into a busy and enclosed parking structure.

"Youth pastor necklace" RIP 😂

13:15 a wangsta is what you called a fake gansta. Cause being gangster was cool back then, if you weren’t about that life real gansters would call you out and say you a wangsta

Job for a cowboya first album is a go to album when anyone asks me about deathcore.

I love that guy you knew in high school that posts about how much he hates mumblerap and modern rap in general but loves 50 Cent mumble his way through the hook on Wanksta and In Da Club

Weezer isnt "self aware enough of their own cringe, no wait they come off more douchy than cringey" the most ironic thing ive ever heard finn say. Bro you need a reality check 😆

Yung Joc and "It's Goin Down" basically owned the year it came out, radio stations up in Buffalo were going crazy for it

I've never understood the hate for Beverly Hills. People always rated Island In The Sun higher but I always found it really dull. Beverly Hills is at least fun.

Crossfade was awesome gym music back then. Cold is a much better song though. The Used was huge during my college years. That voice just takes me back. 50 cent and G Unit made some bangers. They played the hell out of that at the strip club. Thanks for the memories Finn!

I miss all over print hoodies. Peak 2ks drip

A Warwick bass is what you were trying to say about the crossfade bassist. They were big during that era.

I will always remember Crossfade as one of the worst live bands I've ever seen. I saw them open for 3 days grace, Breaking Benjamin, and Flyleaf in the early 2000s. I literally used their set to go for a bathroom break. And I was actually looking forward to seeing them at the time.

Very important Question Who was the first ButRock Band ? Creed ? Nickelback ? Or even Re-Load Era Metallica ?

Weezer has always creeped me out. Cuomo seems like the kinda guy to be friends with a girl for years while secretly harboring resentment for being “friend zoned”. Being into geeky stuff is cool, but the whole self pitying and resenting people who aren’t into geeky stuff is really cringe. Everyone felt out of place growing up, you’re not special and the world doesn’t owe you anything.

Nice selection Finn - job for a cowboy gets my vote as best tonight. If u forcing me to pick just one of those 3 fits, I’d go for the rap look, but have recently been trialling bootcut jeans in your honour. I guess a hybrid style would be out. Awesome content Finn - you remain undefeated🖤

All That I've Got came out way after The Used blew up. I think either Taste of Ink or Buried Myself Alive was the first big one. Box of Sharp Objects or whatever it was called was the first time I saw em. I think that was the first video they put out from that album. Of course, my memory reeeeeally blows. Great times tho. Soundtrack to my high school years

Finn being ahead of his time repping 50 and G Unit in Cincinnati is iconic. 🎉

I know it’s the typical opinion, but Weezer got super cringe after Pinkerton. They made a fan base being nerdy pop alt rock sad boys with goofy lyrics, but then they went tryhard with it and it’s just embarrassing now. Maladroit was their only good post Pinkerton album.

I still think the first two Weezer albums are classics but they started going downhill after that

The early 2000’s were weird. The rise in MySpace emo bands, corny rap songs and butt rock.

You brining up the swayed sweat suits brought me back. I got into a verbal dispute with a kid in highschool who was wearing a baby blue matching track jacket and pants with untied timbs. Now I started stretching my ears when I was 13 and at the time was only at a inch. This dude tried talking shit to me about wearing tight pants and my ears. And fyi I'm from PLYMOUTH MASSACHUSETTS. This kid was talking shit about my "attire" and said he could fuck my ear. Instantly I laughed and brought to his attention how small my ears where in comparison (1 inch) and reminded him of where we lived and how nothing about our town was "GANGSTA". The halls roared with laughter. We ended up fighting and actually becoming friends. But i forgot all about that until you mentioned "baby blue" swayed/velvet or w.e. you'd call it sweat suits. Sorry for the rant just struck a forgotten chord in my brain.

I think the lukewarm reaction to Pinkerton just broke Rivers and Weezer has been lost ever since.

In all fairness, I think you picked one of THE worst 50 songs. Get Rich or Die Tryin is a certified classic almost 100% through

5:44 “fellas, what’s stopping you from looking like this?” My conscience lol

“How To Rob” in 1999 was 50’s first single. It’s on KZfaq.

THE USED > MCR. ILL FOREVER SAY THIS

You're commentary is fucking hilarious 😂 I was crying when you were talking about the baggy pants. Good stuff ❤️

Btw taste of ink was the used breakthrough song

Not even close to the "breakout" song for The Used. They broke out in the early-2000s with The Taste of Ink

Ill be honest i dont get the difference between Death Core and Death Metal they kind of Sound identical to me except for the Part that DeathCore has Screaming and Clean Vocal to.

50 cent sounds that way because he was shot 9 times by jimmy henchman’s crew, before that he actually sounded decent. But then people heard about it and thought it was cool he sounded that way because he got shot.

Crossfade sounds like the menu music of a mid 2000s WWF game.

Haha crossfade got 12 stones look/aesthetic kinda, early evanescence has the same drip. I love it. Up next, please review Cold - Gone Away (A Song For Starr) music video, tons tons of drip!

I get so jazzed when I see a new did it hold up video.

wow, didnt think id be agreeing with my arch nemesis, Finn, hater of ska, on the deep cut of weezer sucking. they have been over rated forever and are riding the blue albums success. the enemy of my enemy and all that. glad to team up on this one, Finn.

Lloyd banks is from g unit and lot of people said hes better than 50 cent

Feldman really made some magic. The debut Used record sounds simultaneously raw and super clean at the same time.

Agreed on Weezer being cringe. Could never stand their shit and still feel like yelling at the radio whenever I hear them when driving.

I still find it interesting that the tour manager for Weezer used to be in ANTI-scene. 😂

Also bringing up job for a cowboy! First band I ever heard doing pigsqueels (outside of grindcore) and being praised/excepted/acknowledged for it. Very strange at the time, but a huge step forward , for other bands and sounds to be excepted into the "norm" of heavier styles of music.

I live in a legal weed state and damn near everyone enjoys it in some capacity. It's even more lame when people make weed their whole personality here too, we all think it's cringe.

“...but no, but yes... but no, but yes...” God, you can be pretty annoying.

I look back on so many songs of the 2000s and just want to bury my head. I can’t even explain why I cringe so much about so many of the songs. It’s just a weird time

Wow. Looks like Finn really wants to destroy my sweater.

Question... Is Abbacab named after the Mortal Kombat code?

Man, I got a lot of my wardrobe at Gadzooks circa 1997-2000.

16:33 Allright, imma hop in here and say 50 had some bars back in the day. You should check the resume before doing my boy dirty like that XD Get Rich or die trying is certified classic even though it's mostly 2000s lowest common denominator rap. Made bank though so y'know. If you want to hear peak fifty go check out the mixtapes he put out pre Shady/Aftermath on why he got signed in the first place. My man basically came through like the Kool Aid man shit talking the whole industry and proceeded to out sell everyone. But yeah the deep cuts are where it's at, none of this schlocky Scott Storch club shit everyone remembers. Love it or hate it mans changed the industry for sure, It's about time people put some respect on 50's name ;D

You're not totally wrong about Weezer... but Pinkerton will ALWAYS be one of my favorite albums and if that's wrong then I don't want to be right.

I heard someone call Weezer “Virgincore” which is hilarious to me

Finn, you and I don't always agree on which bands we like...but if you said Weezer was good and clever and funny we were gonna break up right here right now.

As soon as shit gets "lil" or "young" or whatever shit added to an artists' name it's bound to be fucking horrible. Haven't found ANY proof otherwise.

Finn always talking about wrist accessories lol I remember all the local bands, mine included wearing a many black jelly bracelets as possible on each wrist

I used to really not "get" job for a cowboy but man that song sounded great. Also, that crossfade song honestly had a nice tone to it

Imagine how bigger Entombment of a Machine music video would've been if they had girls dancing in the video

Crossfade were a great & underrated band. Hate on me all you want, I'll take the hits. "Lay Me Down" is one of my favorite songs by them. When I'm cleaning out doing a project, I put their albums on and go.

The Used and Weezer hold up, the rest are forgettable.

Hold up finn 50 cent worst rapper? Yeah 50 cent is far from best but his shit from get rich or die trying and before,were pretty damn good.

I got a bucket hat at Gadzook's in middle school. And it was blue.

Most all good music died by the late 90s. By the early 2000s concerts weren't as good with everyone on their cellphones. Having fun buying an album was a thing in the past. Being a professional musician became lame.

Have you ever heard any of 50 Cent's old stuff before he got shot? He was actually really good before then. People don't really come for him because they know that it is due to the injury.

All that I've got was written about Bert's cat who died...not a joke...

I hated "Beverly Hills" by Weezer. It would come on MTV all the time and I would immediately get pissed off. lol

Who wants to start a deathcore band? we'll be terrible, play loud and fast, with half the song just being breakdowns.

poor GrazCore at 0:27 the irony
