Literally me hearing Finn talk shit about Olive Garden while driving to my shift at Olive Garden

I’m a overweight guy in my thirties with a beard… and I love clutch haha I’m truly unashamed about it too. Well played Finn, well played.

Bruh you can't put Crowbar in the C tier while you're wearing an Acacia Strain shirt

Dude, KoRn’s first album is absolutely incredible, it’s so visceral and grimey.

I saw Sepultura open for Ministry in Sep's first show ever in Canada. My hearing is still impacted... Worth it.

As a prog metal fan who consumes a lot of prog metal, I'd like to let you know you can both be a fan of the wider genre and think Tool is top tier prog metal. Mainly because they are. Insufferable fans and a massive fan base don't automatically make the band suck. Multiple things can be true at the same time.

Crowbar should at least be B tier. They (along with COC) are the best of the southern sludge bands. They have the slow punishing riffs without the dope-fiend, unalive yourself lyrics. I could never get through a Buzzoven or Eyehategod record, but Crowbar always pushes through the misery in a very moving way.

The first Danzig album is perfection .

As a metal head who was raised by deadheads, Primus becoming a jam band was one of the best things to happen

Gwar is still awesome live.

Thank you for giving LoA so much credit! River Runs Red left such a mark with us when it came out. Those were our golden music years, we were 18y old german metal kids who got to listen to Body Count, Judgement Night and LoA amongst other great new (for us) music in those years. Maybe Ugly just didn't have the same impact two years later, but I still love it. Glad they all toured Europe as well! Again, thank you!

Best metal album of the 90s that no one talks about is Sponge - Rotting Pinata. It was the album that had a big influence on Akira Yamaoka who did all of the amazing soundtracks for the Silent Hill games.

Ministry's run from 1986 to 1996 is some of sickest shit ever. From ebm to industrial metal to full-on sludge. Their 1990 live album is pure sonic crushing brutality. Their mid 00s trilogy is also really good, the one with Tommy Victor is quite intense

Finn “I’d rather listen to Danzig than Tool” McKenty

Dead Embryonic Cells is the greatest thrash song of all time. Change my mind.

the Clutch segment had me LMAO. Nailed it 💯

I absolutely love Primus and they are insane musicians

Genuinely surprised on the danzig take. Danzing 1, 2, and 3 are killer albums. Also danzig 6 is my guilty pleasure even though its pretty bad.

Lateralus and 10,000 days are masterpieces.

Opeth, in flames, bolt thrower, children of bodom, arch enemy just a few that should show up

Fred may have stopped writing in Meshuggah few years ago, but his presence is SO obvious when he plays live with them. Looking forward to seeing Meshuggah in November.

About that “olive garden” syndrome you keep referring to, weirder isn’t alway better. Sometimes some bands achieve the perfect balance of weird and accessible , and that’s Tool, Radiohead and Deftones.

I’m glad he brought up Pork Soda by Primus. That’s a funky album.

I'm a big Clutch fan but the OutBack Steak House joke had me dying, I mean you're not wrong. Another great video, great work man. Thanks for brightening up my day with some fun 90's nostalgia.

Honestly kind of surprised that Finn didn't put tool higher. Not because I'm a fan, but because they are "Olive Garden prog". He tends to like catchiness and bands that bring underground music to the mainstream and Tool def did that. I mean you average active rock listener doesn't want to hear Cynic or Atheist. But they love Tool. I would have thought Finn would respect that. Of course he hates a passionate fan base so maybe that offsets it😂

Finally you gave sepultura some props.i was hoping you wasn't gonna go through part 2 and leave them out.i was a huge Pantera fan but i listened to sepultura almost as much.arise, beneath the remains, chaos AD,and roots were absolutely fantastic

numetal rules just face it and finally something we agree on KoRn is great and belongs on s tier

Finn is so well researched and detailed with his appreciation of bands, especially classic, highly respected bands. Dear Finn, if you like sludge metal, I want to recommend you the entire Isis the Band (named after the Egyptian goddess of magic and wisdom rather than the extremist group) discography as well as Harvey Milk's first album, their album The Pleaser, Special Wishes and Life... the Best Game in Town. They are often underappreciated and are very gritty. They also often rerain a feel good attitude while having uplifting, yet crushing riffs. The teamwork of the instrumental sections is very organic and natural like a Steve Albini record. I think you would possibly enjoy those records a LOT if you haven't already heard them. Thank you Finn for bringing awareness to the younger generations about these hard working, consistent, and original artists. I have learned a lot from this channel, and the edits that give a visual representation are unmatched and make this channel very professional by including great detail and doing justice to a bands' essence

Agreed. Sepultura is better than any thrash band not named Slayer.

I hope you talk about GWAR one of these day! Just insanely creative and those riffs? Heavy as all heck!

Arise is like a perfect middle ground of where thrash meets death metal.

I love this stuff infinitely more than the stuff on your main channel these days ❤

"90s Tier List" Proceeds to rank the bands based on their post-90s music.

Glad you spoke reasonably about Tool this time haha.

-Adrenaline( 1995) -Around the Fur( 1997) they are pretty damn good too, if you know what am thalking about.

Danzig and the misfits are the bands that made me realize there are merch bands, and just because alot of people wear a band shirt it doesn’t mean they’re good. And it’s also when I realized people say they like a band because they think they’re supposed to. Also to a lesser extent than with slipknot, I realized bands can have logos and imagery that they are going to be heavy, but are far from it.

Yes! Keep em coming 🔥

That Neurosis roast🔥 sounds like Cartman talking about Hippies😂😂 The Clutch part also funny. Never heard about these bands and I don’t feel like I’ve missed something.

I love that you mentioned BLOODLET on this one. "As The Seraphim Falls" is one of my favorite albums.

Glad you included Ministry. Just One Fix was our jam.

new to the channel... glad you are a true metal head yet recognize Korn as S-tier. MY MAN!

Tool = Olive Garden band. Classic Finn.

The first 4 Danzig albums were awesome. I saw that original line-up in 1992 and it was the best show I have ever been to. They were incredibly tight live. I saw them 10 years later and they sucked. His voice was blown His output sucked for the most part after those 4 albums.

Finn, did you see the Cavalera brothers re-recorded the first EP and Morbid Visions? They released it last month, and it sounds amazing. Heavy AF while respecting the original style. Good stuff.

That's the funniest thing that you said about Clutch sounding like an Outback Steakhouse commercial 😂😂

Thanks for giving GWAR some love. Such an underrated band! Shudder has a fantastic documentary about them called This Is GWAR. It's a super interesting, captivating story, even if you're not a fan.

your clutch description is perfect.

Being from New orleans, meet them many times, very nice guys!

Soundtracks in the 90's where something special, listened to Spawn and The Crow ost a lot.

I don't know any other songs by the band Floater, but the ballad of johnny boy is a song a i frequent... anyone have thoughts? I couldn't tell what I was listening to at first, but i only have so much time to find more music. Just curious what people think about them.

Ministry up to 1996 are mad geniuses

Green Jello...the poor man's GWAR.

Finn was extra critical this round.

I would like to see you talk about Sepultura

Judas Priest, whilst an ol' G of metal and not really a 90s band, did release Painkiller in 1990 (just before the buzzer), and really that is what S sounds like. Tool is mid at best 👍

"90's metal tier list" then proceeds to reference all the bands music released in the 2000 and on.

Discarding post Nothing Meshuggah is downright outrageous 😂. Catch 33, Obzen are Metal staples and changed the game of music making even beyond Metal. The “songs” are tracks like Combustion ( basically a heavier Punk rock song ), Do not look down and Demiurge … They consistently released albums that have face melting intensity and catchiness all the way up until 2022 their last album.

Would love to see a similar tier list video but of today’s rock/metal bands. “Octanecore Tier List” or something lmao

Finn makes Monday great again

C. O. C for sure needs to be on the list!!!

Clutch's second album is some of the coolest sounding albums ever. Spacegrass, man

But have to rate Tool as 90s Tool for this list right? Were they higher tier in the 90s?

Growing up in Russia 90s were the Metal decade for real. As a 10 - 12 ywar old kid i could name 10 bands without ever hearing them just off t shirts that folks were wearing all around. It was a go to genre for alternative and nonformal culture.

Some really underrated 90’s Hard Rock and Metal bands Prong Quicksand Gruntruck Acid Bath 24-7 Spyz My Sister’s Machine

I like tool because they kind of got me into branching out as a bass guitar player. I think on a technical level they are unmatched their drummer is phenomenal there bass player the guitar player the way they harmonize is beautiful and Maynard has a great songwriter however I agree with you that some of their stuff just goes on too long and it does become kind of boring. I didn't want to admit it but I think you nailed it on the head and admitted what we kind of already felt but didn't want to say LOL

I miss the non-PC 90s.

He turned on clutch and I immediately fell in love with that band 😂

If Allen Ginsburg had written those Gwar lyrics, he’d get a Nobel Laureate prize

lets go !

I know there a grudge band but Alice In Chains is S tier

The guitarist of Rise Against did a stint playing in Gwar.

Meshuggah: dope album run throughout the 90s and early 2000s Turned into a snooze fest Primus: Zany but I can’t find myself bumping on the daily, except for one or two songs. Tool: Aenima fucking rules 🤘🏼 Life of Agony: Pantera mixed with Alice In Chains. Decent Clutch: Dad rock in the worst way. Discount store Helmet Neurosis: I need to focus to listen, save for their early thrash stuff.

I'd like to see where you'd rank my favorite 2 bands from the 90's Candiria &the dillinger escape plan

Life of Agony all day long! But Finn...no Monster Voodoo Machine!? Dominated my high school Playlist lol

Sepultura (max Cavalera era) and Soulfly were my jam for so many years

Finn , you know we need to speak about AIC

How tf does Neurosis end up on the F tier?! They peaked in the 90’s…

The first four Danzing albums are pretty damn good. After that, not so much.

17:24 What is "Yellowstone music"?

Let's Go

Outback Steakhouse commercial comparison on point 😂

My friends are there any good bands from the new wave of old school thrash metal scene. Didn't know where to ask so I figured I'd ask in this comment section while watching the new finn vid

I love Clutch but Outback Steakhouse commercial got me chuckling

I love Clutch. Got their self titled disc freshman year in high school and it's been in heavy rotation since. Love the new stuff, too. And yes, I am overweight and bearded and 41.

Facts! Mayonaise Jim Keenan has pushed the band in a "Dad Rock" direction for the past 20 years. Too much, "Rogan DMT" influence in my opinion.

Fin ever considered doing a video on acid bath I know there not necessarily the greatest band or talked about but I honestly think worth a and honorary mention

Frizzle Fry is my favorite album of all time.

So we're getting the nu metal on this one right?

I’ve seen Gwar twice within the last three weeks, and they’ve been covering If you want blood by ACDC, and I just wanna say that Blothar is a genuinely great vocalist but you won’t realize it until you hear them play that song live. A Bon Scott track of all songs is where Blothar vocals truly shine

GWAR sprayed me on Saturday. Was awesome AF.

There's always a middle aged guy at the bar in black New Balance playing TOOL on the TouchTunes 😂

I went to see The Fall of Troy and Coheed and Cambria and the only thing weirder than that pairing was that Clutch played in the middle. You could easily tell the Clutch fans because they looked terrified and confused while sitting on the bleachers during Fall of Troy while waiting for Clutch to play. I decided to give them a chance as I had never heard them before. I got as far as them referring to a woman as sugar and the first harmonica break before I decided to just wait outside for Coheed lol

Was at the Bloodlet show Neurosis. El Dopa opened.

The Tool/Olive Garden analogy is on point

Bro you nailed it I’ve been saying that for a while even the shit from the 90s we thought sucked is still better than most of this shit around today idk. Metal has come a long way but I’m not directions I think? Love the content man

Love Surgery from Gwar when they start shredding is awesome!!

I can't believe I agree with Finn in regards to Ministry. I agree with Finn about once a year on music.

dude, more of these

Overweight man in my 30’s here with a beard and a Clutch inspired tattoo 😅. They were my dad’s favorite band, my kid likes them too so maybe it’s hereditary.
