Andrea is a fuckin' legend! So talented.

Remember kids, it’s not JUST about how many strings you have, it’s what you do with them.

Would love to see you do a Metal History yourself Shred! You got the skills to come up with some killer riffs that highlight each juncture in METALS history🤘🤘

I love how calmly he speaks. Never seems to speak down to anyone. Kind of basic in its commentary, but refreshingly so. Seems like a guy you'd like to chill with. Anyways, I just find your personality refreshing. Best wishes man!

actually saw this video earlier this week and thought "you know what would be amazing? If shred reacted to this." Prayers were heard

Oh, yeah! He does a great musical history of metal through riffs (while avoiding copyright issues)! Great watching again with your commentary, Shred!

Everyone knows that metal was invented in the year 666 norway when a viking dropped a stone on his big toe and screetched and did a deathmetal relief growl that was recorded into stones. Thats why there is a bunch of stones with writing in scandinavia, its not tales... They're lyrics.

Thin Lizzy always gets forgotten about in these sort of lists.

omg i was so impressed that he started the NWOBH with Saxon, Princess of the Night! Saxon has got to be the most under rated heavy metal band, they are prolific and they are still putting out amazing music!

Way cool, you are correct, metal is the most diverse, great walk-through. I dig the NWOBHM part cause Saxon rules.

If you want really cool technical Black Metal,then I would recommend checking out Deathspell Omega. Check out the songs"Apokatastasis Panton" and "Abscission".

I wonder what metal will be like in 30 years... I hope it still exists

Lol, I just watched this last....I was thinking, it would be cool if Shred reacted to this, we'll look what have here! 🤘

Heya Shred! Thrash Metal all the way! Slayer Reign in Blood was the first thrash album I bought, December of '86. Kreator's 20 year re -issue of Violent Revolution in a boxed set pre-order was the last. Pre-ordered that last November.

the riffs were very tasteful and true to their respective genres

Thrash is my go to genre. Just love the speed, and the vibe

He missed gothic metal, speed metal, sludge metal, doom, sorta got close but they and stoner metal have their own styles

That guy has some cool videos! His Metal solo one and Metallica one are awesome.

Metal is just classical music with overdrive!

neoclassic has got to be my fav combining Bach, Beethoven, and many more with heavy metal

just watched it the other day, great video, now enhanced by Shred's reaction

Melodic death metal like in flames for me is the genre that get me into music... Albums like lunar strain, jester race, whoracle, colony.. 🤘🏿🤘🏿

Haha he Mentioned Fates Warning. I love them so much. Such an amazing band. If you haven't heard of them, check No Exit and Awaken The Guardian album

Korn are super influential they were one of the first to used 7 string guitars and downtune which is most of modern metal today

Fun commentary as always. Shred, what do you think about Blind Guardian?

5:38 - Schecter E-1 FR S, just bought one this week :D

I am a die hard fan of Andrea and i suggest all metal fans should check his channel out one day or another

Doom, Stoner, Sludge, Crossover, Symphonic, Funk, Ambient, etc weren't mentioned --- not to mention the rest of the sub-sub-sub genus/species genres.

Hello Shred! A little something is missing: the voice ! Don't you think ? 🤔😎🤘 It's a very noticable element in the sound of almost every kind of metal genres!

The evolution of metal music...

He didn't bring up a lot of metal styles, but out of all of them, the ones that I think he should have mentioned and didn't, are doom metal and post metal.

My favorite genre is MeloDeath and my favorite band is Children Of Bodom. Rest easy Alexi " WildChild " Laiho. \m/

I Have that sweet Schecter shown at 12:00. LOVE IT!

Great video! Would have liked to seen symphonic metal (Nightwish, Epica, etc.) or folk metal included (Korpiklaani, Eluveitie, etc.)

Link Wray influence on rock/punk/metal is overlooked

I find it interesting how now, through a bit of retrospective review, we can notice groove metal elements in a lot of previous stuff, especially a band like Obituary. Can't tell me Slowly we rot isn't groovy as damn. As for metal subgenre favorites, death, thrash and power. I love the rest too, but those 3 are always on my every playlist. Power is dominated by Blind Guardian though

Metalcore is the country music of metal

Love your AC/DC hat bro

I lost it when he said “mega life”

That's inspirational

I have seen this one before, this guy is a great guitar player

Nissssssssssssssssssce 🍻🤘🏻

Shred, Check out Trivium for that early 2000's transition. Excellent band!

Nice video, I tend to favor classic metal, NWOBHM, power metal, neo-classical metal, progressive, and symphonic metal. The oddest kind of metal I've heard was guys like Magellean and Running WIld.

His tone is pretty tasty.

Cool video, cool reaction, but he missed to list Sodom as one of the most important bands in the "First Wave of Black Metal" section xD

That purple Explorer is a Schecter E-1 FRS Special Edition (I have one of the few lefties that got special ordered). Sustainiac + Floyd Rose = why do I even to learn how to play? =D I'm big into power and thrash, and the few bands that combine the two (e.g., Liege Lord and Heathen) are absolute MONSTERS.

While I enjoy Prog and Djent, a piece of me will always say grunge is a subgenre of metal.

My first album that I purchased was P.O.D Satellite. Great fucking listen. Without Jah, Nothin' was a sick ass song.

I reccomend listening to every planet suite, they are all good and Gustav is an amazing composer

forgot to add its the version called rehersal or live at sonic pump studio

I think guitar Max has that same purple guitar. Esp e1 or something like that

I love some thrash metal and some groove metal, but I can't leave out death metal.

The next sound in heavy metal is just going to be a tv when the channel isn't tuned correctly! Jk I loved this history of metal it made me reminisce on times past and wanna go listen ro some system, deathstar and Meshuggah!

Agree on the first metal song being classical

i honestly dont know what genre is what, all these labels for different kinds of metal? its all just metal to me and i love it all.

You should breakdown some old Nightwish songs with Tarja singing.

Thrash is by far my favorite, buti used to play alot of BTBAM and they are proggressive metal and a few other genres combined....i was in a punk badn for years call One Way Terror, but now i do mostly just thrash so thrash is by far my favorite! =)

🤘🤘

I totally get the role Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Judas Priest had on heavy metal but there is no question, industrial music played just as big of a role… especially regarding Metal music from the 90s through the present day.

Personally, if I had to choose my favourite metal genre, it’d be industrial metal. Rammstein are my favourite metal band, and I like bands like KMFDM and Ministry as well.

One thing I want to mention about the death metal segment is a band called Atheist. They came before bands like Cannibal Corpse but, obviously CC had heard them.

my favorite is whatever Haggard plays haha 🤘🏽

I'd enroll at METAL University

I’m here for WAP!!

to answer your question shred, folk/power metal why? 1.enisferum 2.wintersun 3.korpiklanni 4.dargonforce 5.excalion

I have the Holst's cd. in parts sounds like Star Wars music.

I watched this video yesterday 🤣

Korn is great. Underground acts worth checkin Ceremony Sabertooth zombie Rotting out Piece by piece Trapped under ice Trash talk Media blitz AcxDc Downpresser All bands I have seen in last 12 years

aside from Dream Theater my favorite prog stuff of 90s also includes Threshold, Vanden Plas and Ayreon, can definitely recommend those

he is so fucking skilled, wish i had half of that skill :)

Priest wasn't a NWOBHM band, as their 70's stuff was emulated by that scene.

👍👍

challange try to watch wintersun - sons of winter and stars and give your music theory aproach .. just subbed you are epic Shred

Metal!!

Where can we put Faith No More ?

Check Sam Dunn’s documentary about HM history, pretty much the reference point for any metal head out there…

It's funny to think in the 50s, guys would put on Elvis and the like when they were driving to fight someone and get amped.

I can think of one sub-genre that he missed and is quite important IMO. Post Metal. Bands like Neurosis, Isis, Cult Of Luna, etc..

Hard to pick a favorite Metalgenere but in My top 10 are techDeath, folk death , and Animals as leaders kind metal Also groove metal, and power like grailknights, galneryus and orden ogan

all metal is glorious but I bounce between groove, thrash and doom depending on my mood

The order for me would be #1 Thrash #2 Groove #3 Metalcore #4 The OG Heavy Metal 🤘

🤘🤘🤘🤘😈🎸 I love Metal

I don't think about the labels, so many good musicians so i listen to most stuff but it's hard to listen to newer stuff like nu/metalcore. Im an old soul when it comes to music, my dad loved Elvis and alot of stuff from the 60s so that was my startingpoint but the nail in the coffin was sneaking in to my brothers room when i was younger and blast Kill em all or the black album, Whiplash is to this day (almost 30 years ago) my favourite song.

Trash & Death ... I missed "gothic" influences, paradise lost, within temptation etc.

Labels tend to get overused. One which is missing from this list (perhaps intentionally) but was used quite heavily back in the 90s was Speed Metal. It pretty much referred to bands/songs trying to increase riff speeds, solo speeds, etc. thus bands like Megadeth were often tagged with that label, even if they did not like this. For them, they were doing Heavy Metal, there's not much more do it. If I have to choose from this list, I have to go with Thrash Metal. It's the most hardcore which still remain melodic. Rougher stuff like Death Metal just does not cut it for me, I'll gravitate towards rock much more easily.

it is difficult to name the most favourite genre. my earliest were classics - black sabbath. then i moved to thrash and power (we used to call it speed metal here in central europe in 80ies). in 90ies i was into industrial (ministry rulez) and post-black metal bathory (destroyer of the worlds is the best). i totally missed black and nu metal, knew it, but never really loved it. the latest good stuff were symphonics like therion's secret of the runes (oh my) and progressive bands like cynic. besides i love punk and HC (like slayer's undisputed attitude).

8:18 well u ain't wrong as I'm starting to think that it's gonna stick around for at least another year as at least it sounds good to both the audience and the listener so in a way ur not wrong about that.

Power, Folk, Black, and Melodic Death.

What about symphonic metal?

Heavy metal always! Black Sabbath take My soul forever☠️💀

Have you seen Heavy: The story of Metal?

Um... where was crossover!?! DRI, Suicidal Tendencies, SOD, MOD, Nuclear Assault...

Good one, but he completely skipped Doom Metal and its subgenres. Think bands like St. Vitus and Candlemass were worth mentioning.

Death metal at heart these days

groove is the best , pantera and Lamb of god

metalcore started in the 90s. change my mind

I cut my teeth on Megadeth & Iron Maiden(I had a Killers shirt before I even heard them, Eddie’s a great marketing tool?). I picked up a bass guitar & at age 14in 1990 and began in Thrash but my most successful band was a death metal band called Dead Silence(there are other Dead Silences now but we we’re the first) got to play many gigs & open up for bands like Cannibal Corpse & Entombed amoungst others. That band broke apart at our Apex unfortunately & I walked away from playing for almost 20 years. I picked up in 2020 & found I was better now than then & I enjoy bands from all genres. I think we need something different now(alot of stuff sounds recycled to me these days but I can name two local Wisconsin bands that are amazing, Conniption out of Milwaukee, Their guitar player Bill House is fantastic! I like their album The Time has Come the best & Lords of the Trident out of Madison who ate kind of the Steel Panthers of power metal with their tongue & cheek style but amazing musicians. Check out Frostburn from them. That’s my favorite). Hard to choose a favorite from Sabbath & Priest to Obituary are my main stays & depends on what I’m in the mood for but Ill throw on a Jerry Reid country album or Waylon Jennings and get down to that too?

this video is bad ass 100% but some genres were actually going on at the same time so im lost is this metal through the years or how the progression happened wile brutal death metal was going on in 90s also nu metal and deathcore and metalcore

I always thought that Metallica (and such) had a distaste for glam metal and began playing everything faster and tighter as a reaction to it.
