Come hang out on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/finnmckenty

Hearing about Finn’s BBQ fantasies are the best part haha.

When we (Chimaira) were on the show Farmclub (right before we signed to Roadrunner), they try to get the big bands to hang out with the unsigned bands, to make them feel like they equal peers…. The only band to hang out with us, was Incubus. Nicest guys ever. You’d never know they just got bigger than Jesus, by how down to earth they were.

Leto needs to be in his own tier labeled “Morb” and it just says yes

Can we get a tier list for drummers?

I’d argue that Chester Bennington was probably the best vocalist from the Nu Metal era but Amy Lee is definitely up there

Davey havok has got to be one of the nicest front-men in the whole cohort of post-hardcore bands. Davey seems like such an admirable chad - never rude or disrespectful. Not to mention the 2006 Karen hair and suspenders - classic.

Nice to see Layne on S Tier. Very underrated along with Alice in Chains(compared to Nirvana and Pearl Jam). Yes he was a Yarler but he did it naturally and didn't lean on it like most bands of the 90's(looking at Creed), he could actually sing. Guy could really make you feel things with his voice and was very influential, so many singers after Layne tired to imitate him.

This series needs to continue, there's still so many vocalists that need to be covered

It's so funny that Finn showed the exact same videos and said basically the exact same things about Danny Worsnapp in episode one 😂 It's like he channeled a memory and didn't realize it was happening.

Totally agree about Layne Staley. He is underappreciated. One of the greatest rock singers of all time.

The thing with Scott Weiland, he had the ability to totally change his tone. So underrated as a vocalist.

Incubus is one of the greats and if you haven't heard them in a while, definitely a great reminder of why we all love them. The hits of course, but songs like "Here In My Room," "Echo," "Megalomaniac," est. are so much better than they get credit for. Honestly, aside at most 5-7 songs, every album is great all the way through

Incubus is a deeply amazing band. A great group of stand up individuals. DJ Killmore actually enhanced the band quite a bit.

Your next band tier list needs to be people who got kicked out of their bands and why, and base your "would i want to hang out with them" based on that 🤣

It cracks me up every time you say "here's the thing" and use that clip with BVB 😂😂 Love these different tier lists you've been doing lately btw!

I always liked Incubus. Their lyrics are more thoughtful than most bands of the time

Great video today! Let´s go for part 4!

The reason Layne isn't higher on general rock singer lists is because his body of work was so small. As iconic as their Unplugged performance was, it's kind of tough to watch considering what his voice sounded like from 89-92. Those are the years to search for concert videos because heroin was really starting to affect him in 93. He had such a toxic relationship with his ex fiancée Demri and when he got clean in 93, his dad came back into the picture to mooch drugs and Layne never kicked it again after December 93. He would just hold up in his condo playing video games. Was too embarrassed, but just couldn't kick the addiction. 1989: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/opuDe8yXmr_ZmZ8.html 1990: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arupi5CcztnNk40.html 1991: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m6p1p6l63rHNpGQ.html 1992: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orGfjM530MW4h6s.html The producers and sound engineers would ask him to do another take, Layne would say "Nope, you got your take." and Layne would be right. People said you could hear Layne's voice over all of the stage noise too.

Amy Lee is no question S-tier. One of the most beautiful voices in rock/metal. Such an influential band for releasing only 2-3 in their prime

Finn, I love all your videos. I’ve been watching Punk Rock MBA for a couple of years now. You’ve already hollered at me before. I love this 2nd channel too. I really would LOVE for you to make a video on V.O.D. That would be awesome. I know you like them. Plus All Out War and stuff on your wallpaper is the shit. Layne Staley might be the best vocalist of all time, but I’d have to argue Kurt too. You’re the fucking man. I love how many shout outs you’re getting online right now. I tell EVERYONE about your channels 24/7. You deserve it. You’re a true student of music in general. Props Finn. 🤘🏻

Ah yes, the much awaited “I don’t really know anything about them or their music but they seem nice” edition!

The GG Allin comment during the Jared Leto part killed me 🤣

i saw jinjer live in the fall of 2019 and they were absolutely unreal. best live show i've seen. they're also great people and have done a lot to try to support their country of ukraine

100 percent agree with everything said about pistols can you do a full length video about these please?

Loving this series !! Its awesome 🤘😈

"Some people that died aren't great musicians" - Finn McKenty I'd go as far as to say that MOST people that've died aren't great musicians 😂

This is a great series to watch.

Sitting poolside in Las Vegas watching one of my favorite channels, annoying everyone around me with these chad takes. 🤘🤘

Brandon Boyd is one of my favorite vocalists ever, and he is the only man that's ever made me question my sexuality lol

I'm with you on the Sex Pistols. Surprisingly interesting band. Only band in British history to hit #1 on the charts, but the spot was left blank. They didn't move #2 to the top spot... they just left it blank.

I'm from Cbus. You really nailed your take on Austin Carlile

Awesome video Finn!

Absolutely love these videos.

Rewatching the first installment of this EPIC series made me realise that Danny Worsnop was already ranked in part 1 😂😂😂 Good to see though that he has since risen a rank, was rated C tier back then. Such vocal prowess must be rewarded

Alissa's work with the Agonist is so much better than what she does with Arch Enemy. The first three albums are solid, especially Lullabies for the Dormant Mind. Amazing metalcore.

Good call on Johnny Rotten! Nevermind the Bollocks was basically the Nevermind or Dookie of the late 70s. And PiL was fantastic, too. I would consider him B or possibly even A tier. He seems like a really funny, smart, and thoughtful guy. Even his snarky, snotty persona has a lot of thought behind it.

Chester is the ability GOAT vocalist in Nu-Metal. Period. S of the S Tier.

Alissa is actually straight edge so I think you'd get along with her Finn :D And also: How dare you disrespect Arch Enemy, they're quite possibly the best death metal band out there right now, they literally have an all star line-up and great songs! You should give them a chance. But knowing you, you'd be like: "Ugh! Melody? In metal? How European! How Cringe!" :D :D

I think the guys in Incubus are actually pretty humble. Brandon sure is on the artsy intellectual side but doesn't seem entitled at all. Especially now since they're older. They have a song that is about that topic, called State of the art. How they are basically now considered old and the Zeitgeist has moved on, even though they feel like they have just figured out who they are. Imo one of their best songs on one of their worst albums (which was co-produced by Skrillex btw)

I meet Danny Worsnop on his solo tour before & after the show at the Whiskey. Such a nice guy & his wife is so sweet. He learned for a lot of his mistakes & is driven to be back where he is.

26:13 thought you were talking about the "Things Can Only Get Better" H. Jones

Finn, where you go wrong with these videos is starting over every time with a blank sheet. You need to keep all the past entries up there to compare the new people against them. Helps to keep things in perspective

I can’t believe he included Chino and Corey without including Jonathan Davis

Love your channel!

Has he covered Mike Shinoda yet? Arguably he wasn't the front person of Linkin Park, but he was definitely the one behind their visual style and musical styles

Dude I would love to see that Jared Leto vid Also, you should do a rock star hairdo tier list

Fun party game : take a shot every time you hear Finn say “here’s the thing”

Brandon Boyd is certainly an incredible singer. Unfortunately “Wish You Were Here” and “Nice to Know You” don’t really show that off, but he goes all out on the “A Crow Left of the Murder” album.

Nevermind the Bollocks absolutely slaps. The whole album. Which is kinda great for them considering its the only album they ever did.

I like how I mentioned the BVB golden gods award on discord once and now Finn uses it more and more lol

Dude these are fun! And some of the people in the chat are funny as fuck, let's keep these going!!

Lmfao! The smash bros comment xD

John Lydon is a great guy, you need to read about him more in a Simon Reynolds book Rip It Up and Start Again. Public Image Ltd. also a great band.

Wish You Were Here is not the best song for Incubus as far as vocal ability. Brandon B is really good and has a very wide range of styles, but I do agree he isn't the most pronounced vocalist. Still top fucking notch though. Especially live. Seen Incubus many times and he is always perfect.

you’re not done with this series until i see chester bennington. i mean that outro in faint live rock am ring 2007 is unhuman

Love the "Here is the thing" lmao

I think ronnie would blame the controller, look at you, laugh, and say “lets go fuck off” and you’d go do something fun. Wife met him and said he was nice and cleared his bus out so she could use his restroom. I saw him live, dudes a beast on the vocals.

After watching this…. I totally want a Jared Leto video

i met austin in june and he was the most genuine person I've ever met. Like honestly man we had the longest talk about just life and it was the greatest thing of my life

Once again a McKenty Video perfectly on time to drive home from work. Greetings The bearded Deftones fan from Europe being European

Fun fact: Kevin Smith used to have John Lydon over at this house for poetry readings ⭐️

Scott Weiland's actually my fave vocalist (RIP)

I love how you drop some controversial takes I *almost* react to till I realize you are trying to get reactions

The BBQ Tales, coming to all good bookstores soon.

He had me dieing when he started talking about Courtney Lovelol

Watched Everlast complain about Pringles using "Jump Around" in a commercial at a concert once. They proceeded to play a Pringles commercial on the screens on either side of the stage while he was setting up for his next song.

I know someone who worked with Jared Leto from mid 2000’s to early 2010’s. When asked about the experience, all she’ll say is that Leto has an appetite for teenagers.

‘Wild cannon’ is a great new phrase

While Johnny rotten is incredibly overbearing, he at least attempted to blow the whistle on Jimmy Saville, so thag rises him by a tier imo

Finn, how many of these guys DM'd you asking when the BBQ is?

My prediction was wrong, I was thinking now Finn has done the Jonny Craig interview he was going to be allowed on the front person tier list.

I was lucky enough to see STP with Scott and he was sober and put on a 2 hour great show in a small venue.

Alice in Chains Unplugged is one of the finest, most flawless live performances ever recorded. No question. And there's no reason to bring Hayley Williams onto this list, she is S tier. Everybody knows that. 👍

Whenever you make that video about Evanescence, you gotta talk about how not only were they retconned into being “good actually” but also seemingly retconned into being emo. I see Bring Me To Life on all sorts of emo playlists on Spotify right next to MCR and Fall Out Boy. I always thought they were nu Metal but I guess we’re wrong.

What’s up Finn? How is everyone’s day/evening going?

A totally forgotten and underrated vocalist is Martin Fry from the band ABC. They had a lot of hits in the 80s but have since been forgotten, but I saw them live back in 2016 and they were amazing. Martin is in his 60s but he’s still an incredible vocalist, and the band themselves are pretty underrated for 80s pop standards

I remember seeing Arch Enemy/Trivium tour and Alissa broke her in ear monitors 3 songs in and did the rest of the set without hearing herself or her bandmates, they had no stage monitors. That’s a high class act and vocalist, especially in the age of technology where in ears are everything.

There's actually videos on donut operators channel of him and Danny hanging out with the Black Rifle coffee guys it's either donut operator or it might be Demolition Ranch but I know they all hung out just can't remember whose channel it's on

Great comment about danny " He went from singing not the american average to being THE american average"

3 parts and still haven't heard about Oli Sykes

Howard Jones? I thought you were talking about the 80s synth pop guy til you said "metalcore" 😂

I remember Incubus - Drive being one of those overplayed radio songs back then lol

You did Jared Leto dirty my dude those first couple albums were amazing

wow, i havent bought or listened to Arch Enemy in well over a decade... but I am back into them now after watching that clip of their new material

"lose at smash bros and blame the controller" hahahahahahaha

"God Save the Queen" is the song that generally turns me off when it comes to Sex Pistols. I really like Johnny Rotten's work after Sex Pistols with Pubic Image Ltd and his song with Afrika Bambaataa. Not the biggest Sex Pistols fan but "Pretty Vacant" in particular is pretty undeniably great.

The Bri'ish remember when Johnny Rotten appeared in a Country Life Butter advert. That was the moment the younger generation realised that punks weren't really the anti-capitalist heroes we thought they were 🤣

I saw Jinjer live in October 2021 in San Diego. They sound as good if not better than they do on the album. Not one mess up and their stage presence is awesome.

My sister was a waitress in a bar and everlast pulled a "dont you know who i am?" Because she wasn't going out of her way to take care of him before everyone else. She told him she knew who he was, and that she didn't care.

Glad you gave Johnny Rotten and The Sex Pistols some love. They are still one of my favorite bands. Johnny had charisma in spades fronting them. I'd probably kick him up a level and would love to have him over for BBQ.

Please get Shifty Shellshock on for an interview so we can finally shed light on where that finger actually been !!

"Fifty two times more likely to start a fight with you"...Bahahahahahaha!!!

I think Deftones, Incubus, and Slipknot are some of the only ones who got away with the turntables. Some atmosphere added on songs just work.

I live in the UK and always miss these things when they go live. If there is a part 4 can I put in a vote for Mike Patton?

I totally unironicaly liked Danny's country album.

Imo Incubus really hit their stride with the two albums following Morning view (where Wish you were here was from). Incredible drumsound on those records, Brendan O'Brian's signature piccolo snare, and all the drum parts are so damn catchy! Also, something about the vocals on Morning view just rubs me the wrong way, they're kinda icky. Brandon also got way better after that imo, the band found itself with A Crow Left Of The Murder

The significant amount of songs written about Courtney Love being a horrible person should qualify her for F Tier.

would love too see this for hc

that dr drew hypothesis had me dying. those stupid pretty people haha
