The duality video was actually filmed at a fans house in Iowa that was “due for renovation” and slipknot gave them 50k for the damages

I think the smartest thing you did with this video is the alternating between old skool and modern stuff consistently to subvert people's expectations and keep them engaged

This thumbnail has some “grumpy boomer metal guy” vibes I like it. Always on point with the thumbnails

When you described How you thought Danzig was going to be heavier based on the imagery, that is EXACTLY how I felt about Ghost.

If it looks good I might buy a "black metalling in the woods" shirt

Warrant wrote "Cherry Pie" in just a few hours because the label wanted them to write "a hit" for the album. Whether or not they "had" to do it is an open question, but it is possible their album could've gotten shelved if the label didn't like it. I actually like the song, as well as a bunch of other Warrant songs, but I do agree that video is downright awful. It's too bad Warrant didn't have success after this album, because Jani Lane was a phenomenal songwriter and had a great voice right up until the end. RIP Jani Lane who would've been 58 years old today.

It's still so impressive that A7X became big by convincing people that they already were. They literally willed it into reality!

Actually laughed out loud at "Mudvayne is breaking into Corey Taylor's house! It's the record label's fault!"

Imagine if Warrant made a song called Roast Beef Sandwich.

As someone who was a disaffected doughy white kid from the Midwest in 2004, I absolutely love the Duality video. It does perfectly capture the Slipknot vibe.

Mother didn't become popular until 93 when it was re-released with a music video. Dirty Black Summer was one of his first hit singles even though Mother was originally released before it

I always find it so funny that the suicidal guys were actual dangerous gang members and stuff but their videos give me bebop and rocksteady vibes lmao

The most Metal music video ever actually predates Metal music itself by about 3 decades. It’s called Night On Bald Mountain and it can be found on Disney Plus. 🤘🏻

Danzig came into a record store in Phoenix, AZ years ago and flipped shit yelling at the store clerk because they had bootleg Misfits 7"s in the used vinyl section. They were Czech Republic made knockoffs that had probably been sitting there gathering dust since before that clerk even worked there. That's some record store clerk lore that has been going around for years. Coincidentally this happened around the time when Danzig got punched out, in that infamous clip that everyone has seen. The moral of the story: yelling at retail workers is bad karma.

while shaking your head in disappointment “this kid here, he used up all his chakra.”

Glad to see the chat defending the Slipknot fans in the vid. They don’t need to be bullied anymore man

I don't know that Jani Lane so much solely blamed the label as much as he just never forgave himself for not pushing back and putting out something he felt was inauthentic. It honestly seemed to consume the guy. The whole story just makes me sad. rip Jani.

Danzig did shoot some movies. And they have mad The Room vibes. I can easily imagine a band coming out with a video like Cherry Pie. It's called Gloryhole by Steel Panther.

i saw Danzig live in the early 90's at Harpo's in Detroit, he kicked a guy in the face that was trying to climb up onto the stage, it was hilarious... Twist of Cain is pretty good

I remember when 15 year old me sat at home and watched MTV. Out of nowhere Slipknot came up with the video to Left Behind. I never heard and saw anything like that and I was completely blown away. Wtf was that? For me it's still the best music video ever. By far.

Your Duality analysis was simply Legendary. That was one of the greatest things you have EVER done.

I still say "walk on home boy" all the time. Classic line

17:07 The Duality music video is like Corey Taylor just went, "Does anyone remember Surge? I fuckin' loved Surge, man. Yes, the soda... can... can we just make the music video, thaaaaaat?"

Holy shit that Attila video came out nearly 10 years ago?? I cringed then just like now 😂

The first 2 Danzig albums are actually insanely good.

Finn: "How can you draw this badly" Me looking at that drawing thinking that's better than anything I've ever drawn: "Hold my beer"

The album that became Cherry Pie was already done and turned in to the label, Warrant's A&R guy wanted a single and Jani Lane farted it out. Then it became a massive hit and basically ruined his life so.

I think a good example of the ‘real fans’ genre is Last resort by Papa Roach. Really focusing on who they are in a way that perfectly for the genre and moment

Sorry but i disagree with you at the point that Danzig would be bad. "Mother" and "Last Ride" are very good songs and he's the Elvis of Hell in my Opinion and that is no bad thing at all.

I think Tool had really great videos. Adam Jones having ties to the film industry really came through. I remember an interview with Kurt Cobain where he talked about being surprised they hadn’t had a lawsuit over them due to a resemblance to another piece of material by the Brothers Quay. Also check out the brothers quay if you aren’t familiar and like that weird surrealism stuff.

Finn McKenty: Look at this horrible Danzig video and song. He pays a woman to serve him coffee. What an ofense. Proceeds to puts Attila´s video with a close up of a woman´s crotch and the whitest guy ever rapping. It´s a masterpiece

Man I can't believe you didn't comment on the entire wave of "Playing in a field outdoors" metalcore videos that dominated the 2000's. That was like the peak of shitty metal music videos.

Sorry Finn have to hard disagree....Cake is better than pie. If your having dry cake you made the cake wrong. Moist, spongey, multiple layers of frosting. You can't go wrong with that

How in the bloody hell did Finn NOT know Cherry Pie was a euphemism? I've known that since it came out in 1990, and I was EIGHT YEARS OLD!!!

I started to be into metal right back in 2014 and I saw the About That Life as a relative relevant thing. Now seing in YT that video was 8 years ago did feel very strange, and then I felt just old lmao

Back in my mom van/army days I used to give guys rides from the barracks. One day I gave a 215+ Ib juiced to the fucking gills unit of a man that beat the shit out of a green beret to win a boxing contest a ride. Never heard him say a single word until 2nd sucks came on, after which he uttered a barely recognizable "Hell yeah" and shook my car into the oncoming lane. Fantastic times, truly.

the best video of all time is mastodon's " the motherload"

I'm guessing he thought "Hey I'll play it like a traditional bass and it'll look cool" and failed miserably.

Institutionalized was my first hardcore song that I heard in 1983 at the age of 17- hooked me on Descendents, Black Flag and Minor Threat. Good Memories: props to all OG Hardcore fans!

As the resident Avenged Sevenfold homer, I'd like to reiterate how awesome that video and that song are. And of course, props to you and Linh for having great taste!

One of my all time favorites is the music video for 5 minutes alone by Pantera. Such a kick ass song and I love the guitar shots and just the whole band jamming out.

"Black metaling in the woods" would look great in the hobbies and interests section of someone's c.v.😁

Hearing "i like immortal" made me smile. And yea i feel like Immortal are the spinal tap of black metal

Listening to Danzig is like getting fun sized Starburst on Halloween and they're all yellow. Absolute disappointment.

Sadly, yes, Glenn was a popular fancast for years to play Wolverine. He even made it into Wizard for being a “perfect fit” for the character.

Speaking of singers in weird acting roles, Blackie Lawless of W.A.S.P. was actually almost cast in Terminator before they got Arnold to do it instead. Imagine if he actually did the role lol

Not gonna lie im down with eskimo callboy haha! Sometimes the metal scene can take shit so seriously and its really refreshing to see these guys just being goofs having fun with it but still putting out some decent riffs and they can actually write a decent pop hook to hahahaha

Worth mentioning that Timothy Leary is at the beginning of the Suicidal Tendencies video.

AFI had to get tough guys for their video, Slipknot invited their own psycho fans.

I think Slipknot did really fucking good job during the Vol. 3 era, I love all the videos. As you said, Duality captured the band's relationship with their fans. Before I Forget was like watching a rehearsal, taking away the masks and close ups of them playing were cool (I can vividly remember the shot of Joey stomping on the pedals). And then it was the Vermilion, I think it is a great piece of cinematography. The women with super animated and jerky movements with world around her going super fast just sets this creepy, tragic and yet somehow sensual mood. Other than that I don't really care about the music videos really. Usually I really like the live videos, especially for bands that are known for their energy live such as Happiness Is A Smile by TDEP or ETID's The Coin Has A Say. I think it is way more important for a band when releasing an album to keep the same mood or style - for example I liked Vein.fm's videos from Errorzone having that mutilated guy going through some bizzare 'evolution'.

"Call of the Wintermoon" is art, I've been in love with that video for 10+ years. And yeah, it's as damn bad as it is iconic!

Pantera guitars tuned to hard r is probably one of the funniest things I've heard.

Glen Danzig is exactly what would have happened, had the Doors gone metal - He is the metal version of Jim Morrison

2013 was one of the highlights of my life and I'm not happy that it's almost 10 years ago.

2nd Sucks is my favorite song of all time, just so amazing. And I love the performance bits of the video, the people moshing across the shots of the band gets me stoked every time!

Dammit Finn, you said the word "Park" twice and my dog heard it and now is looking at me expecting a park trip at 6 pm when it's dark n the 30s out lol...hilarious part of this experience I was not expecting, but awesome video!

possessed to skate was definitely one of the formative heavy songs for me, I remember it was on my mp3 player while I was skating in middle school.

i love the fact things like hypa hypa are coming back, videos that are just fun.... fun is something that has been missed in metal.... people like alex terrible and eskimo call boy are what is going to bring metal back to pop culture if anything. just show that it's fun, not depression and anger

How do you take someone who likes Atilla but hates Danzig seriously?

the dude from mudvayne is breaking into cory taylors house that had me dying hahahaha

“Pie is better than cake”. Never agreed with you more. IMO the critical factor is that even a bad pie is good. Bad cake, no. It falls apart and gets all crumby and flavorless.

21:46 that bat looks waayyyyy too happy. Like the artwork they put on the side of a McDonald's Halloween Happy Meal box.

I love the reference to super position. I’m an engineer by trade but really loved all my chemistry and physics classes.

How is that Attilla video a Great video? lnothing was happening lol.

Lol my grandpa probably would have drawn a gun in Immortal if we came up on them filming that video.

Great color commentary Finn!

Blasphemian by Infant Annihilator is one of my favourites, it’s just so ridiculously over the top and well animated which really complements such an excessively brutal song

12:51 Bro you made me spit my breakfast wtf LMFAOOOOOOO

KZfaq must actually like you. Cause I see all your videos from this channel. And I didn’t even realize it was a second channel for a while. And since KZfaq puts almost all your videos from this channel on my feed. I didn’t even realize I wasn’t subbed ! And I’m a huge punk rock MBA fan so that’s why they show me this content. But there are other content creators with second Channels that I never knew about cause they were never in my feed. Lol I’m glad KZfaq likes you cause I love this content! BTW. I subbed right as soon as I realized love your content man. Especially when talking about pop punk and hardcore and stuff, sometimes I feel like my words are coming out of your mouth. Only worded better haha. Keep it up.

One of the things that I enjoy while watching Finn is that we can agree sometimes, for example Duality by Slipknot is one of my less favorite songs too and not to mention, his take on the Avenged Sevenfold fanart was hilarious.

there is a College Humor video called "The Irrationally Long Number Pi Song". I didn't know that it was actually based on a real song (Cherry Pie)! I only realised now because of this video mentioning it! Thanks for that! I really recommend watching that parody video, it's quite entertaining :)

Best metal video moment for me has to be in "Killed By Death" by Motorhead when Lemmy drives a motorcycle through a wall.

A little tidbit about the Warrent video, another reason he really hated this song was because this song wasn’t a song that they had written for the album. They had already finished the album and they were really proud of the album as it was and the record company came back and basically said they wanted them to make a catchy cheesy song that they could make a video of . So they really never wanted to even make this song they were kind of threatened by the record label and were told if they didn’t make a song like this that the album wasn’t going to be released so it took them about three days to write this song and they recorded it and the record company loved it and it became the lead single and that was the only song they were known for after that.

You got actual comedic talent Finn 😂 lovin it !

The video for DragonForce’s “Heart Demolition” is insanely fun, and it’s for one of their catchier songs. You might like it.

The Walk riff is calling the police on the nice family having a bbq in the park

Great vid, thanks for posting!

Unfortunatelly the Immortal-video was actually a prank video. It was made for laughs.

Danzig liked the Dirty Black Summer riff so much he used it for half his catalogue

Your disappointment with the sound of Danzig compared to their imagery is exactly how I felt when I heard Ghost for the first time.

Out for a walk while enjoying some Finn

The duality video is grimy as fuck, and it really is a great video.

Hypa Hypa is a banger music video. I love that it is corny. LOVE IT

Suicidal Tendencies used the same prop food items and containers from Repo Man in their video for Institutionalized. They just say "FOOD" or "CHIPS" with a white background on the containers and bags

Damn I like Danzig, lol. I totally get the cringe factor and "boring blues jam band" vibe at times. How The Gods Kill, Twist of Cain, Dirty Black Summer, Long Way Back From Hell, Devil's Plaything, Her Black Wings, Left Hand Black....... all classics. I guess a majority of the albums are a pass though. And Finn, didn't Danzig "do what he set out to do?" LOL I'm making the case :D

The video for Slipknots Duality was shot in Des Moines, Iowa, at a fan's house that was due for renovation.

19:13 see, what this is, that girl from earlier was getting ready to really let one rip, and he breathed in at the wrong time. His eyes have only just now stopped watering.

LOL That Final Fantasy reference to Immortal had me on the floor.

The best thing Glen Danzig ever did was a cameo appearance on Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Finn, we may not always agree on everything, but we agree on the only thing that matters. Pie is forever superior to cake!

As much as I know what you're saying about the Walk riff these days my god I still love that tune as much as I did as a kid :D

So what I learned is Finn likes party videos lol

A metal video that deserves more recognition is Big Timber by Himsa

this was the most fun I've had while drunk, thankyou for this video

19:15 this dude got Nu Metal'd so hard he got turned into Yamcha.

Slipknot literally rented a house in iowa for this vid and the fans that they got to be in the video got so pumped they distroyed the house

Finn “Counts For Something” Mckenty 😆🤘🏼

I love how Immortal needs a torch in broad daylight

I was at the Pantera show when the shot walk TLA in Philly
