Otep is a real piece of work. She made a post on her Instagram that said she's a voice for the entire LGBT community. I replied, "I can say with certainty that you don't speak for my boyfriend or myself" and she lost her mind. She threatened to have her "fans" find and unalive me. One of them did find my IP address (somehow) and posted it in the comments. It's funny how she always tells people to be "independent thinkers" yet goes crazy when you don't agree with her "thought" pattern. And I'll say it, Aaron Nordstrom leaving Otep was the best decision he made. Gemini Syndrome is much better than Otep, IMHO. Even he said that she's nothing but a bully and a control freak.

Chris barnes is the literal definition of "old man yells at clouds" it's a shame how far he has fallen cause he was great at one point.

“Many years ago today something grew inside your mother… that thing was you!” Happy birthday dude!

Otep is female liberal Ronnie Radke

I read stories about the Otep vocalist having a bad personallity towards co-touring bands.

Just as a side note, Poseritus should be a meme. If that doesn’t get turned into a meme then that’s a crime against humanity lmao. It’s so genuinely stupid that it made me laugh

FFDP is certainly pretty cringe nowadays. Way too pretentious tough guy for me. I personally prefer the first record of theirs from 2007. Production wise it’s not too overproduced, and sounds like a genuine fusion of Pantera, Slipknot, hell, even a lil bit of the Motograter stuff Ivan did a few years beforehand. I would recommend that album to ya if you want something from them that’s tolerable, but hey, you make your own decisions Buddy. Happy Birthday, Sir!

Happy Birthday to you, and Happy early Birthday to Anna! Hope you both have great celebrations. Also, the Tougher Than Nails album has been reuploaded to Bandcamp by some Christian metal label, and turns out there's quite the gold mine of awful bands on there. I just heard this Christian DSBM band where the guitars were painfully out of tune and the drums were pretty off

Great video and happy birthday! The only Five Finger Death Punch album i have appreciation for is Got Your Six. And that's because i used to live in a rescue mission, and one of the people working there just so happened to be the Bassist's Mother In Law, and as a result i got a copy of Got Your Six on CD that was signed by the Bassist. And i enjoyed the album a lot at the time, so even though i'm not a fan of Five Finger Death Punch's music anymore, it still brings back good memories when i think about that album

Happy birthday to one of my favorite metal youtubers! Also I agree with your list, or in cases of bands who I don't hate that much (I fuck with some early Limp Bizkit material, some, and Still Sucks is one of their worst due to all the "self aware" stuff) I at least get where you coming from

I like Limp Bizkit and Five Finger Death Punch but as always i respect your opinion Heres my list Kim Dracula Falling In Reserve King 810 Lostprophets Mushroomhead Trapt Hinder Buckcherry Theory Of A Deadman Six Feet Under

There is one good thing about Dungeon Wolf. They make me think, maybe I should do a metal album. Because I don't often do metal, but I'm sure I could do a better job than that.

Happy birthday Melty. Awesome Dying Fetus shirt no less. Many of these (the ones I’ve heard) I completely agree on. Here would be my 10 worst metal bands: Emmure Attila King 810 Falling in Reverse Five Finger Death Punch Psycho Synner Motionless in White Black Veil Brides Otep Sleep Token

Happy birthday bro. Thnx for some of the best metal content on the platform. 🤘

Happy Birthday Robert :) I don't really have many strong feelings towards a lot of the bands you bring up because I have not really dove that far into their music....yet. I will say though, Falling In Reverse is a band that I do think is terrible overall but I can have fun with. Watch The World Burn is probably the funniest metal song of 2023 for me, even if completely unintentionally. Something about its over-the-top nature combined with its awful and at times hypocritical lyricism (NOWADAYS EVERYBODY'S SO SENSITIVE), mixed in with some people's reactions to it (Anthony Fantano comes to mind), just gives the song a "so bad it's good" quality that I can't help but find stupidly endearing LMAO. But paired with that, the "chorus" that it goes into towards the second half is quite fun and catchy LOL, and can show that Radke does have a solid amount of talent even though he wastes it in goofy ways IMO.

Happy birthday my guy wish you the best health and happiness and success with everything you do in your life . Stay heavy and stay metal 🤟🖤

Happy Birthday Robert! Sevas Tra by Otep was actually really good, then it went off the rails from there haha. Wicked Wisdom is by far one of my most hated bands. So much so that we booed them at Ozzfest ‘05.

Happy birthday dude🎉🎉🎉🤘🤘🤘 Also I can’t help but enjoy Limp Bizkit. Yes, they’re stupid and juvenile, but honestly, they never fail to put me in a good mood if I’m feeling down. Their music is so ridiculous that it’s fun to turn my brain off and rock out. That being said, I definitely don’t like all their albums; anything after Chocolate Starfish doesn’t really appeal to me, but their early stuff scratches an itch that not much else does. I completely understand why some people like yourself hate them, but I like them. I do agree with several of your picks here, especially Tougher Than Nails. When I first heard their album Arise Warrior, I got about 5 seconds in before I started laughing uncontrollably. I now know what death metal sounds like to people who hate death metal. They actually had a second album called “Delusional Blasphemies Destroyed”, but the backlash was so severe that they completely removed it from the internet. Lyrically, it’s like the Westboro Baptist Church wrote the lyrics for the album, and the album cover depicts a warrior striking down other soldiers, and one of the soldiers that’s killed has an LGBTQ+ flag on his shield, which should give you some inkling about the hateful lyrics. Another band that aggravates me, though a less popular pick, is Arghoslent. Not only are they proud and outspoken racists (they literally have an album called Incorrigible Bigotry), but their admittedly unique fusion of melodic death metal and blues music has inspired countless copycats that have flooded the underground melodeath scene with this crap. Their comeback album that was released this year is one of the worst things I’ve heard in recent years.

Otep is a sad case for me. I found her in high school through a cosplay friend. Growing up in Puerto Rico as a metal head tomboyish queer woman in a religious family, I didn’t really have someone I could look at or hear and relate in my anger. (We didnt have radio playing much metal and my parents were Spanish and classic rock people). Like “finally a woman who’s not scared of seeming aggressive or unfuckable.” Her first records still hold a place in my heart, but the last one was genuinely unbearable and my views have moved more left while hers stayed very performative. A shame.

I bought a convertible Mustang GT in the early 2000s, the sale guy asked what kind of music I liked and I said metal, I go to pick up my car and he said I would love what was in the CD player, got in the car, turned the CD player on and Limp Bizkit comes on, hit eject, frisbeed the CD at the guy and drove off.

Happy birthday dude! Hope you have a great one! 🎉 The bands I have heard of here I mostly agree with and also think are terrible. The only thing I will say is that while I absolutely hate everything 5FDP has done since 2015, I still really like their first 4 albums. I was listening to War Is the Answer a few weeks ago actually and it held up surprisingly well for me 🤣 I just find them really really frustrating now. I know that technically speaking they're better musicians than a lot of the other butt rock bands, but they seem to always choose to not fulfill that potential and phone in the same steaming, reheated pile of horseshit every 2 years for almost a decade at this point. Even Jeremy Spencer, despite being an absolute laughing stock now, was always (to me at least) a pretty killer drummer. It's infuriating now and after the atrocity that was AfterLife I think I'm done giving them a chance Some more bands/artists I absolutely hate are Marilyn Manson, Kim Dracula and Skindred. I've always hated Manson, even before the allegations against him came out, and I always thought his music was an absolute atrocity, that debut album from Kim Dracula is genuinely one of the worst and most cringeworthy things I've ever heard, and I have never ever understood what anyone sees in Skindred. What makes that even worse is that despite them being probably my least favourite band out of the ones I've mentioned, I have still seen them 3 fucking times! They are always on right before someone who I wanna be on the barrier or in the pit for and I hate it 🤣

Also happy birthday! And thank for providing us with the timeless meme material that is Psychosinner. Some days, I still pause and think “what the hell was that.”✌🏼

The day I heard Tougher Than Nails, is a day that redefined what I thought "bottle of the barrel" could mean.

> Claims his dislike for a band doesn't translate to dislike of the fans. > Proceeds to denigrate FFDP fans or what he thinks are FFDP fans whilst unironically dismissing them as "white trash" and unironically bringing up "toxic masculinity" as if that's a real thing.

I was alive 30 years ago lol but I agree with you about Six Feet Under

happy birthday!! seeing radke on the thumbnail is already all i need to support you :)

Happy Birthday dude and a early Happy birthday to your wife! Maybe next year You can do Her top 10 favorite metal bands or her least favorite metal bands! Let's see if there's any crossovers!🤔🤔

Happy Birthday dude, mine least favorite is: Five Finger Death Punch, King 810, Theory Of Deadman, Trapt, Hollywood Undead.

Happy Birthday, and also agree with your picks. Mainly Limp Bizkit, FFDP, and Psych-sexual…

ROBERTTTTTTTTTT HAPPY MOTHERFUCKIN BIRTHDAY MY DUDE! Hopefully you don't torment yourself by listening to these bands... hopefully. I'm not gonna talk shit about artists I hate, so instead I'll talk about my favorite... "discoveries", we'll call them, of the year, metal or otherwise Hellripper Victory Over The Sun (potentially AOTY, but we'll see in a few weeks...) Danny Brown Thantifaxath Lotus Eater Machine To The Grave JPEGMAFIA Sprain Mitski And I guess Radiohead would count? I mean I hadn't heard their shit for a decade, it's basically a discovery

I like that you said that it's fine if you like any of the bands on this list. Personally, I like The Three Tremors mainly due to Casey Trask's guitar work. But I seriously don't think I've ever met someone who genuinely liked Tougher than Nails or Dungeon Wolf.

My own Top Ten Worst Bands list. 10. Six Feet Under 9. Thousand Foot Krutch 8. MGK 7. AJR 6. Daniel Powter 5. R Kelly 4. Black Veil Brides 3. Soulja Boy 2. Trapt 1. Psychosexual

Otep is the reason why me and my band drifted away from political songs. Listening to her latest stuff I didn't wanna sound like that. It was annoying I agree with you

oh damn happy birthday dude! Your hair looks neat. Crazy enough, one of my exes birthday fell on the same day as mine. we celebrated hard

Your opening birthday number was quite nice actually lol , you have a nice voice! Happy birthday!

I think your face would melt if you heard Peosphoros Pink Metal album. lol Happy Birthday by the way.

Imo, the first 3 5FDP albums aren't that bad, I actually found myself enjoying them. The rest are complete shit though

What’s frustrating with FFDP is that the guys have talent (even Ivan), they just don’t care. They know that their stuff is gonna sell, regardless of quality.

Growing up as a hardcore kid where most people had no idea what hardcore was was fun. People'd ask what kinda music you like and I'd say hardcore, and they'd say "like Slipknot?". Dude fuck Slipknot 😂😂😂. Also, I'll never understand how FFDP got popular.

Dungeon Wolf Me: This heavy metal band is not too bad. Also me: What do you mean it wasn't made in 1978 in someone's garage? Edit: Happy birthday to you and the misses \m/

Have a great birthday Robert, it has been also my birthday today. Anyway my pick has to be modern FFDP and Falling in Reverse, I don't listen to trash music a lot of the time just because I avoid quite a lot of it when you and other content creators upload reviews talking about them but I've of heard of most of these artists but I'm glad I haven't experienced the same pain and suffering as you did listening to them.

I saw Limp Bizkit open for Metallica in 2003 and they were fucking amazing lol Otep was legit incredible in the early 2000’s.

Happy birthday uncle melty 🍻

Never heard of Dungeon Wolf before. Someone needs to fire their "PR" department 😂

Happy Birthday man🎉🎉🎉 I hate all these bands myself, I do have to say I sort of had fun with The Way Of The Fist the first 5FDP album but mainly while getting drunk and playing a good beat em' up game lol.

Six feet unders haunted album was a banger, but after that? Wtf was that?

I remember that festival in 2013 with FFDP, they had a whole fuckin picket line of kids from the crowd throwing up the middle finger on stage when they were at my stop. A whole bunch of parents brought their kids there to see them here and they all acted just like the guy you described in your experience. same thing happened at what i think was the next rockstar festival with Avenged Sevenfold, tons of parents dragging their kids to sit around and look miserable until they came on stage.

Happy birthday Robert! Nice video. Tbh, out of the bands you mentioned I only know Limp Bizkit 😂😂

Happy birthday! Nothing like spending part of your day shit talking bad bands. Enjoy the day, my friend!

The only nice thing about 5FDP is that it reads as an abbreviation for "5 sons of a bitch" in Portuguese (5 filhos da puta). That's it.

Thanks for putting us (The Three Tremors) on the list. At least we made somebodys list! We did play over 100 live shows together where those people that were at the shows loved us which makes being on this list a lively chuckle. Now go listen to Cage it will put some hair on your chest Junior

Happy birthday bro, mine is November 24th hahah, congratulations!! Greetings from Argentina.

Five Finger Donkey Punch Disderped Six Eeee Under Man-OhhNo-war

Oooh this is certainly gonna be a fun list. My all time hated bands for me Dishonorable Mentions: Kid Rock Hollywood Undead Machine Head Five Finger Death Punch Liturgy Crazy Town Attila King 810 Rings of Saturn Emmure Skillet Kiss Trapt Otep 10 Absurd 9 Brokencyde 8 Six Feet Under 7 Falling in Reverse 6 Dungeon Wolf 5 Tougher than Nails 4 Arrogance 3 Intolitarian 2 Blood on the Dance Floor 1 Psychosexual/Psycho Synner

Love Cage, Peck is an amazing vocalist. Give 'em listen. Some of the best in the genre without a doubt. Hell Destroyer is a classic!

Is katatonia going on the best of albums list because that would be disappoint if it does not make some of people's end of the year list

12:10 "queer and political"? And you say she's an awful person irl? The surprise!

Happy birthday bro, what better way to celebrate it 👍

Happy birthday and happy early birthday to Mrs. Meltdown! Reminds me of my mom's on December 11, my stepdad December 12th, and their anniversary December 10th, so... yeah. It's all good! Loved the cooking video, need to watch w/my Love. Definitely looking forward to the next one!

Happy birthday dude 🎉 I found the channel just a few months ago and I love all the vids. Wish you the best :)

Limp Bizkit is the kind of thing you put on at a bonfire or house/garage party with your friends for the good nostalgic vibes. Listening to it seriously doesn’t work.

Happy birthday bro from a New Zealander (kiwi) living in Japan, it's been a great year for Metal

Pretty accurate for the most part. The only exception I’d make is the first six feet under album,haunted. Love that album.

Ffdp, bring me the horizon, psycho sinner, avenged sevenfold, machine head, judas priest, cradle of filth, mayhem, periphery, falling in reverse (hate is a strong word and some of these bands I may like certain songs and different aspects about them but overall the bad outweighs the good for me, also there are probably worse bands than these most definetly but I tried to pick my top 10 being more controversial picks from the bigger bands that get alot of praise. I would say bring me, ffdp and psycho sinner pretty much take the cake though, Machine head would be cool if it wasn't for Rob 😂 ) BTW happy birthday also

Happy birthday dude, I hope you jam some actually good music after this.

10. 3:18 9. 5:53 8. 8:32 7. 11:44 (kinda found shocking never seen a lot of hate for them even people who don't lean that way in their beliefs seem to like them (also haven't heard the covers your talking about but for me personally the cover of Royals by Lorde favorite version 6. 14:21 5. 17:00 (never heard of them) 4. 20:00 (one of my favorites for all the wrong reasons should have just leaned into the jokes and become a parody band like steel panther) 3. 23:04 (never heard of them) 2. 25:35 (never heard of them) 1: 28:05 (never heard of them)

Ok so I actually really enjoy Falling in Reverse BUT your impersonation of Ronnie's vocals just hits it out of the ballpark😂

Happy Birthday dude. I subbed once you threw the can and said "Nailed it." 😂😂 Edit - Completely agree with your list. Your list is my list.....has been for years. 😂😂 The funny thing is..........when you meet someone thats all about one of these bands......

If i had to pick any metal band that i hate that isnt on this list it'd have to be Attila. With Limp Bizkit I can enjoy their stuff for just being goofy and stupid, and i'd go further than you and say the entire band besides fred durst actually have a lot of musical chops (sam rivers' basslines were some of the first riffs i ever learned) Attila are to me what happens when you take all that musical talent away and turn the Fred Durst-ness up to 11. There's nothing redeemable about their music at all and it just comes across as juvenile, edgy and arrogant. Not to mention they've had some pretty questionable merch over the years, and fronz seems like a d-bag in general.

Biz limpkit was part of my younger years, I loved them to hate them to nostalgically loving them again

Posted this in a reply but sharing here because its decent information to know if you're a veteran hater like myself. A friend who was a vocalist in a local band that was opening up for otep posted about how she made all the other bands shut down their merch tables during their set. Pitched a whole shit fit about it apparently. She didn't want any distractions from their show. These bands were pretty much depending on selling their merch to make any decent money. Immediately lost all respect for her. To be clear i only liked the house of secrets album back when i was a teen. Didnt follow anything after that one.

I'm pretty convinced that Dungeon Wolf is just a bunch of trolls having the time of their life.When I've seen those comments I couldn't take any of it seriously.

You forgot to add Stone Sour and Wolfmother to that list lmaooo

Lol Limp Bizkit.. i unironically love "Break Stuff". Me and a buddy of mine would sing that shit at work as a joke, and also just say the lyrics to explain how were feeling. Its great

Oh we started several fuck Chris Barnes chants at the Suffocation and Incantation show I went to, and Ricky of Suffocation said "fuck Chris Barnes? Come on guys he's not that bad." And everyone booed him lmao.

Happy birthday! I want to thank you for this video. I am 51 years old and I feel this video serves more of a PSA than anything. I haven't heard some of these bands so thanks for the warnings.

Happy Birthday man🤘I pretty much agree with you 99% - I do like about a half dozen Six Feet Under songs from way back...but I get your hating them, they are absolute garbage for at least 20+ years now

Did like FFDP's earlier material mainly from Way of the Fist to American Capitalist but yeah they went downhill after Wrong Side of Heaven vol 1 tbh. Great video btw.

Happy Birthday Robert, hope you have a great day, cheers from Brazil :)

You're birthday is the same day JFK got assassinated. That's pretty f**king cool. Happy B day

Happy Birthday! Good stuff … can’t believe Limp Bizkit is a thing again … total trash! The Three Tremors lineup I always heard about was Bruce Dickenson, Rob Halford and Geoff Tate of Queensryche. Hadn’t hard about the Ronnie version, interesting. Would have loved to hear either one.

I personally will never forgive Limp Bizkit for single-handedly killing Nu Metal's serious undertones and any validity the genre had. They became so popular that they became the face of the genre, and gave way for more misogynistic white trash bands like Crazy Town and Methods of Mayhem to pop up in the Nu Metal scene, which really hurt Nu Metal bands like KoRn, Deftones, Linkin Park, Static-X, Sevendust, Slipknot, Mudvayne and many more who had really exceptional musicianship and lyrical ability by being associated with Limp Bizkit. Im glad the kids these days are coming back to Nu Metal and giving the good bands of that genre much overdue credit and love and appreciate their contribution to Nu Metal (which in my opinion was 85% of bands in the genre) shame though that they came back to Limp Bizkit. But anyway, thats just an old thrash head's take on them. Loved the video man

Happy Birthday bro!! 🎈🎉🎊 Thanks for all the great content!!😎 And happy birthday to your wife in advance!!😊

Happy birthday! To be honest this list is a mixture of bands I'm somewhere between 'eh' and 'urgghhh' on, and those I just have never heard and see no need to, so no complaints here.

Hope you’re having a great birthday man! Enjoyed the video

Happy Birthday! I still don't feel bad for throwing on some Limp Bizkit in between the likes of Archgoat, Blasphemy or Von Öügh

Every time Design the Skyline comes up I am LEGALLY REQUIRED to mention that they are from my original hometown and the only thought anyone had was “yep, that was our one shot to get on the map and it passed the second it came.”

What pissed me off is FFDP was the headliner and Megadeth opened for them. WTF Also if Amon Amarth and COB didn't get a guy fired up I don't want to know the guy. I think if I'd been at that 2013 concert, I would have walked out on FFDP. Six Feet Under-I loved their stuff throughout the years but I won't go near their past three albums. 2/14/98 -Houston TX Concert Attended/Loved It!!!

Happy birthday! I’ve never heard dungeon wolf but you peaked my curiosity lol

It was my birthday yesterday lol!!!! Happy birthday fellow november- born metalhead!!!

Happy birthday! I won't be able to tune in on Friday so tell Anna I said happy birthday too.

Happy birthday Brofessor Robert and happy future birthday to the missus \m/ I will do my best to at least check in and say hi to you guys on friday but if I dip out its because I'm going to see Exodus Fit For An Autopsy and Darkest Hour that day, but rest assured I will rage extra hard for you guys and spark up some birthday joints for the two of you. Not a whole lot to disagree with here you are pretty much spot on with everything, I will say that I am still able to cut Otep some slack but I definitely get how she and her music can rub people the wrong way and I'm not going to die on that hill defending them. Everything else is pretty close to my personal takes on everyone on this list. Also my god "Diet Obituary" is a fucking nuclear bitch slap from God and I don't think anyone making fun of Chris Barnes will ever top that.

Happy birthday, Robert! Hope you have a great day this video is great. :)

Hope it doesn't mean you're a fan of Slaughter to Prevail. Yippi! I broke my commentor's writing block. Thank you and happy B 🎉🎂

Happy birthday G, Love your videos even though I sometimes disagree. Love the content. Long Live the MM

Happy birthday! My daughter's was yesterday 😮

i auditioned to play guitar in the band limp bizkit many many years ago.i am so glad they did not select me

Happy birthday man! Hope you have a good year ahead of you

Happy birthday Uncle Melty!!!

Happy birthday dude
