number nine, number nine.
How could you summarize something which such perfect truth
0:17 is this what a 10 sounds like?
oh hi dylan
That's trap flavored enough
me: screams and eats my guitar
melon: talented. brilliant. incredible. amazing. showstopping. spectacular. never the same. totally unique. completely not ever been done before. unafraid to reference or not reference. put it in a blender. shit on it. vomit on it. eat it. give birth to it.
Short answer yea
Best teeth-picking in the game.
I'm your dentist and I'm mad at you
Criley same
You're not Crentist.
You have 18.5 thousand subs but no videos
9/10 Dentists are industry plants
@@nmperdue4637 Just a very popular dentist :shrug:
please dont ruin the best teeth in the game with guitars, only 1/10 dentists recommend guitars
Algorithm
You're the second minecraft guy I see to comment on a Fantano video lol
That 1 dentist is one of 2 who don't like colgate
damn really didn’t age well lmfao
Oof
*MELON IS AN INDUSTRY PLANT*
*plant species in the family Cucurbitaceae, cultivated for its fruit.
mariokarter13 I'll second this
You mean industry fruit
T shirt worthy comment.
silly person, a melon can't be a plant...
the teeth play in the intro goddamn it's JIMITHONY HENDRIXTANO
Da best teef in da game
*Jimthony Hentano
More like tomthony morelltano
Could probably play something resembling a sonic youth jam session like that.
So Thurstony Fantanoore
She's perfect for what the band was.
Max Fritze this. She's great in the white stripes but it'd be no good in other projects but she is legend in TWS. She's to be appreciated for sure.
Max Fritze
exactly. She's perfect for their band, not a great drummer tho
Absolutely.
I agree totally - also, she has the wisdom to not do something else. She stopped enjoying TWS because of all the anxiety etc so she knew it right to stop.
Max Fritze Have you checked your Facebook recently?
0:50 Meg White is actually a good drummer
2:34 No Wave was one of the greatest genres that no one talks about
3:32 David Bowie was at his best in the 90's
3:45 Hatsune Miku is the future of pop music
4:58 ye gives more reasons to revisit Yeezus
6:27 Motley Crüe always sucked
6:32 Playboi Carti is the trap version of The Pixies
7:03 Being a music critic can ruin your listening experience
8:41 Other than some lyrics, Self-Titled & Iowa are great and Slipknot is one of the better nu-metal bands
9:13 New Age is a underappreciated genre
10:02 Sinhead O'Connor was ahead of her time when it came to the SNL incident
11:51 The Warped Tour is bad for Alt Music
i already have tinnitus
lol motley crue Did always suck
holy shit dude thanks
@@cinnamonpirate5294 I actually like em lul
The best part is 6:27 to 6:32
Hatsune Miku is the future of pop music as much as dippin dots is the ice cream of the future
DoomDDS this is the most accurate comment of all time
yeah im still waiting for melon review of vocaloids smh
I remember in the 90’s when dipping dots were meant to be the ice cream of the future, and yesterday I ate dipping dots. Prediction confirmed.
it is tho
Devin J damn I didn’t know those have been around for so long, they weren’t completely wrong lol
Anthony the type of guy to floss while eating
bret Erd holy shit TIL
Edward Sutton how do you think he maintains the best teeth in the game? Edit: just realised someone just posted this lol.
Edward Sutton He also drinks soup with a fork. Yep, W O K E

That beginning bit... I think it had a good moment but the droning vocals and the track's descent into just being awful noise just didn't really sit well with me. I'm gonna have to give it a light 4. Maybe Fantano's next acoustic track will be better. TRAN-SITION did you give this track a listen? Did you love it, did you hate it? What would you rate it? You're the best you're the best, what should I review next? Hit the like if you like, please subscribe, and please don't cry. Just leave your thoughts in the comments if you're feeling full of thoughts. Tophandour... FOREVER.
Tophandour Review his vegan smoothies
You just don’t understand that Fantano was making experimental acoustic noise folk pop. 9/10.
“I fell asleep during that part too.”
Other self: “Which part?”
Same self: “Yeah yeah yeah. You’re right. Which part?”
its actually a mount eerie song which bumps it at least 2 points
Biggest downside, melon was at risk of stopping to be the best teeth in the game, thankfully that didn't happen, but still, for that alone I would give it a 3
Keep that guitar intro for now on
Seriously though Melon. Cut out the snacking on the strings if you want but keep the intro
The feeling of finding a new artist/band is honestly one of the best feelings. I wish I had the discipline to listen to as many genres as das melon, but none the less, it’s one of my favorite things finding something new that I like.
Meg’s drumming really shows off the style of The White Stripes, that being simplistic, yet strong and effective.
Knock knock
Who’s there*
Meg whites most complicated drum beat
Lickyishere *cymbals on cymbals on cymbals*
2003 meme
Lickyishere writes the worst joke ever.
Meg whites most complicated drum beat who haha
Doesn't work.
A door knock and a drumbeat are different.
I emailed this to your dentist.
João Botelho Your promoting content that panders to the alt-right.
^how so?
What are u gonna gain from it
YOU FUCKING SNITCH
R A T C H E T Because Fader called Tony a nazi
LET'S ARGUE: Ringo Starr is a good guitarist
✌😎✌
E chord
Melon: I agree, to an extent
Yeah. Also, a fairly decent singer. Remember "Stop, and smell the Roses!"
Steely dan is the most under appreciated band in rock history. I understand that they aren’t for everyone, and the lyrics sometimes try too hard, but the band’s musicianship is off the charts.
Oh man, Steely Dan is the shit. There is some really laid back tunes they've done, like my favourite "Home at Last". Jazz fusion is an incredible genre.
Thing is they were perfectionist.Thats what mattered more to them, and thats theyre style.Their lyrics are epic imo, they reference alot of things and ive learned many stuff from them haha! But theyre the best man, and criminally underrated.
eugh...
Deacon Blues.
This is just a fact
If anthony is ever in another band,
They'll be called The Striped Whites
Nick S What about The White Strips? Every band member must have the best teeth in the game
D Roche and they gotta have a bald ass gerber baby head
The plaid stripes
Nick S the white gripsHAMPTON john lamars
Anthony can we have another “let’s agree” video? It made me feel nice inside.
"When I grow up, I hope I can become a hologram!"
2Pac became a hologram..
Liam Romano the hologram was his final form.
As a drummer of over a decade, I'd argue that by not getting in the way of a song's flow with masturbatory overplaying, she does the intruments justice far more than many contemporaries. Every time I've played a Stripes tune, I try and embody that minimalism while carefully adding a bit of my own herbs and spices.
herbs and spices are for food not drums
HEY BUDDY DID YOU HEAR THE NEWS
DOO DO DO DO DO DOOOOOO
IT’S A *LET’S ARGUE*
when the new song played, i immediately went and listened to the track reviews song
Forever
Doot, doo-la doot doot, wrong channel!
Max O'Byrne, Walk On The Wild Side was my first association
Max O'Byrne If you say this into a mirror 3 times with your eyes closed at midnight with the lights off...
Mr. List appears and bites you with the *_BEST TEETH IN THE GODDAMN GAME_*
at 4:10 his head perfectly aligns w/ Miku's hair
Alex FT lmaooooo
Your right, by the way that was my argument
Melon looks GREAT with Hatsune Miku hair: *_LET'S ARGUE_*
Considering she didn't even know HOW to play drums before she met Jack I'd say she ain't bad for the style they played.
I'm so happy to see someone defend Meg as well as giving recognition to their self titled album because it's so good but it never gets talked about
I miss The White Stripes
@@Kinnakeeter you and everybody else
Fantastic assessment as always but im not sure the part where you said you'd motorboat Meg White until your nose broke off was entirely appropriate.
Harvey Weinstein Ejaculated On Me what?
You don't know the most common Fantano comment meme?
NoEsUnCZcamsr I don't actually. I'm a big fan but I don't really read his comments much.
"you can't look at a hologram and be like 'ya man when I grow up I hope I can become a hologram'"
Tell that to Tupac and Chief Keef.
...and Jean-Luc Mélenchon! (for the french perps right here)
@@MoonWalkerTexsRanger Hah that was a lit joke man.
"I appreciate a more flawed Kanye"
confirmed fantano thinks MBDTF and Yeezus are perfect albums
Sinead O'Connor had a great point when she ripped up the picture of The Pope. I commend her bravery. I feel the same way about The Dixie Chicks. They were crucified for telling the truth. SMFH
Yep! I thought she'd be done with all that religious stuff, and become an agnostic. But no, she coverted to Islam, she's still got her Virgin Mary chest tattoo though.
I’ll be real, the biggest beef I have with Anthony is that his skin is too beautiful
Nice shades. Lookin good.
B better if this nigga was black
Mo 2k
I’d like to peel it off and wear it sometime
The best virtual band will always be Binky from Arthur.
this is not a controversial statement

4:54 i wouldn’t say that, when I really got into music (that is buying records and following releases and stuff, still was a kid) by age of 14 I started with Gorillaz, White stripes and arctic monkeys, and man, i wanted to be 2D or Murdoc so bad. They where definitely idols in some way.
Fantano channel becoming thatistheplan channel completion: *50%*
Whiskey this Let's Argue series is made only for that matter intros are pretty similar to thatistheplan
Every video Fantano slowly turns into Thatistheplan.
M. Strongsole that isnt a bad thing
That is the plan.
0:17 loving the new gorgoroth album coming out in 2047
I feel like this was the most creatively edited Fantano vids i've seen.. also hilarious. Also, great topics. love it.
*Let's argue needs to be twice a week*
Can't argue with that.
Nick Cannon *YOU'RE WRONG*
Donald Trump *THAT WOULDN'T EVEN WORK DUH*
As much as I'd like having Let's Argue twice a week, Melon is probably too busy with other videos on this channel plus album reviews to do that.
kinD *SAYS WHO*
Can we have that musical intro as an outro? And loads of other clips that build up slowly from video to video? Until you have an outro nearly as long as the video?
thatistheplan used to do it, don’t know what happened to him
Max O'Byrne he got nae naed by Anthony Fantano
I think thatistheplan faded away or something
DLilly I see what you did there
Sources say Thatistheplan is bitter, there is just too much music for him
Donald Trump sounds like a conspiracy, mr president
Wow! That Trout mask replica cover at begining was amazing!
You’ve introduced me to so many awesome artists keep doing what your doing
LET'S ARGUE: Melon looks like the white version of Will.I.Am
Harvey Weinstein Ejaculated On Me a white, bald, lame ass normie version of Will.I.Am
Nick S Well will.i.am is already lame so......
will.i.am is the lame ass normie version of jpegmafia
damn
Thanks now I cannot unsee this
Anthony do a 10 minute video of you playing bass
cool username ass*
Or follow R.Kelly’s formula and release 19 minute track with a title “I admit, I am a Melon”
Damn those intro wood letters were polished af you did the work fantano
Melons middle part where he talked about doing what he loves was nice to see.
Im telling your dentist anthony, youve been a bad boy
*Slaps bald head*
*slaps head slaps head slaps* Bad melon, bad *slaps head slaps head slaps head* bad bad bad *slaps head* bad melon, bad
*caresses bald balls*
They called back. It counts as flossing.
Meg White IS a good drummer. You don’t have to be a complex drummer to technically be a good drummer I’ll fight anyone who disagrees
Max, I guess she has good technique and can keep good time so technically she is a good drummer she just isn't a world class drummer
A good drummer services the song, in my opinion. Meg does that perfectly in The White Stripes.
sandy120 She does not have good technique and she is not good at keeping time
Meg White is anti-Lars. Lars doesn't support Metallica's songs because every time he is drumming the songs, they sound different. I don't have anything against Meg. Her drumming was one of those things which made White Stripes songs sound haunting and unique.
sandy120 but that's the point
really enjoy these videos
The disappearance of the Warped Tour is actually a tragedy. It was such an easy way to keep track of all the bands I hate, in their own little corner. Now that it's gone, they might pop up at other festivals.
*THE MELON IS JADEN*
As Jaden, I can confirm.
Zarathustra Zarath holy fuck it's confirmed
*THE MELON IS AN ICON LIVING*
*THE MELON IS A LIGHT 4*
I wish the melon was just instrumental
Yeah, if you’re going to rag on Meg White’s drumming ability, you’re probably not into White Stripes anyway (which is fine, it’s an opinion you’re entitled to). Her contribution is a crucial component of the band’s identity.
Also, if you listen closely, it´s actually spot-on in the pocket. You may not personally like what she does, but she does it very well.
I don’t think there’s even an argument . Meg White is in no fathomable stretch of the imagination a good drummer... that being said, The White Stripes wouldn’t be what it was with a “good” drummer... her drumming was just what it needed, and she was perfectly adequate for their music, and more than that, her look, her style, her character, her quirkiness was perfectly suited to be the yang to jack’s yin.
Honestly I really can’t even imagine them having a drummer that’s even a little bit more nuanced or detailed or anything that can be considered “good drumming”... the band needed a nice, steady, minimalist, super basic, steady, rhythmic percussion which only serves to compliment and highlight jack’s guitar work, which is in itself pretty simplistic and minimalist in general...
I have absolutely no issue with Meg White’s lack of ability. She was perfectly decent enough to make The White Stripes the awesome band what it was, and ended up being a statement and perfect example that a band doesn’t need to be some virtuosic display of impressive ability to be an awesome band, and in many cases, it’s the songwriting over the musicianship that really makes a song...
And this is coming from a music fan who was first and foremost a fan of progressive rock in the vein of King Crimson, Yes, ELP, Rush, and so on and so forth when I was young and branches out into all sorts of genres across the entire spectrum of the music landscape.
And to be completely honest, back when The White Stripes were first becoming a little bit mainstream, it was back when I was in high school and was still mainly into progressive rock and a lot of metal, as well as some grunge and just starting to get into more artistic and experimental rock that would hybridize with pop and electronic music, I actually hated The White Stripes for the very reason that they were too simplistic. I thought that meant that they were shit. And Meg’s drumming was a huge part in me coming to that conclusion... really before even fixing them a decent chance.
But when I finally matured both personally and in my music tastes, I eventually went back to give The White Stripes a decent chance, and found that I was just ignorant and jumped to conclusions through erroneous misconceptions about what made music “good”... and found that I not only liked their music, but really fell in love with a couple of their albums... People just need to learn to open their minds like I was able to, and they’ll find that what they think they might hate without even giving a decent chance they actually really appreciate. And The White Stripes is just about the perfect band for this.
If Meg did indeed fit the band perfectly, then she was an amazing drummer in her own right and would not have been fully recognized for her ability outside a band like the white stripes
and all that ya ya ya ,you talk too much, still she will go down has a greatest drummer, Because her timing is just fucking impeccable, and a sex machine with drumsticks , that for some reason drives men mad,,,, like the Sirens, Meg White
Spot on. Anyone disagreeing is too much of a fan boy to see the argument. It's kind of like the drummer threads I'll read about Travis Barker. The Blink fans are junk yard dogs claiming Travis is the best drummer ever. He's a good rock drummer but when you start talking skills behind a drum set you have a very deep hole to travel to label a drummer"great". Which brings me back to White who as you said fits TWS perfectly and they made great music. A drummer can play great music without being a "great" drummer. Music has a long line of players who made great music but weren't great musicians.
Ssssssssssssssss@ss@ssssssssssssssssss
What the FUCK are you rambling on about? Holy Jesus mother Mary of
Just shut up
Hey Fantano, do top 10 of artists you recommend to your listeners. Not what hot, not whats recently released, just things you fall back on and think, man, this is great, more people should listen to this.
No Wave is the only subgenre I knew where you honestly had to be very talented to make songs that sounded as if you just picked up an instrument a few minutes ago.
Living Abstraction not talent, ambition and passion. Far more important anyway c:
Try listening to Jazz and bebop
Ancala Bond Well, you can’t do good things without a bit of talent and knowledge of your instrument.
Whether it’s a piano or straight up drawn music in a DAW
@@ancalabond8703 lol ok
@@ilpatongi i'm just saying, to rely on thee talent ov the musicians to justify the musick is to fundamentally miss the point ov the genre entirely. No Wave, Noise, Power Electronics, Reductionism, etc etc etc may all require some level ov talent, but their purpose is not to showcase talent. It's not egowank musick and it is not justifiable with intellectualism.
Motley Crue’s first 2 albums are not bad if you’re a fan of glam / heavy metal. I’ll defend those two albums.
Vapor Memory Didn't expect you on a melon video, keep up the good releases.
I’ll forever maintain that the opening and riff of Kickstart My Heart is badass
theatre of pain only had 3 good songs the rest were meh girls girls girls was great except for a few tracks dr. feelgood was fantastic loved all the songs on that album the self titled with john corabi was meh didn't really care for generation swine new tattoo meh and i loved saint's of los angeles. as you can probably tell motley crue are my favourite band
Their first album is the best album, even the bonus tracks added on later is great.
Those first two albums kick ass. They are not glam though. Those first two albums are pretty dark.
love when his head lined up with miku's ponytails
Thank you for making this
please release full "lets' argue" Album

Got a hot take : Lots of Soundcloud rap is actually good in many aspects like being good at riding a beat, making collabs that work to their strengths, some of them have fantastic hooks, there are lots of emotion in terms of expressing themselfs and whats going on in their lives or some over all stories, and finding something that makes them unique even if the beat has been done to death.
Some examples that I think fit the great/amazing side of Soundcloud rap are:
Kill Bill: The Rapper
Lausse The Cat
lookira
Burney
Love-SadKiD
atlas
iDakota
Sora D.
That's it, THAT IS IT!!! Where can I find videos of you singing and playing guitar and bass and just.. Melon, I wanna hear you play music
Beautiful intro, melon
That has the same chord progression than Anthony's other hit "I really wanna go up the stairs without moving my feet"
i love how this channel is right in between thatistheplan and theneedledrop what a time
I love these sweet sweet thisistheplan vibes keep it up melon
4:11 Nice hair, Fantano
one of my favorite bands of all time, I love The White Stripes, you are such a legend for making this video Anthony
6:59 subtitles say "toilet" instead of Die Lit.
I agree with this, Melón. Let's Argue.
New Mount Eerie at the beginning? Loving it.
A Jack White concert was recently canceled in Lubbock due to low ticket sales, but Five Finger Death Punch has sold out every time they have played in Lubbock and that makes me sad because it made me realize that artistic and experimental rock isn’t respected in the south to the level that bro metal is respected.
Wow...really? Ugh...
The South in general doesn't seem as receptive to experimental types of music.
yikes
its not that they aren't respected, but FFDP is more popular than Jack White, but also calling FFDP bro metal sounds retarded, however I'm not a fan of them so theres that.
What source did you hear this? As far as I've heard the show was cancelled due to "unforeseen circumstances", no where does it say anything about lack of ticket sales
3:52 Nosethony Pickthano
lmaooo
Ha ha ha!!!
Hey you’re pretty good at guitar too Anthony! Nice work you make me happy
When discussing old Slipknot, you should also look at the creativity of their work. Slipknot incorporates two percussionists who play everything from trashcans to bongos to egg shakers. Also, they have one guy who just scratches records and another guy who does nothing but find samples. These innovative features of the band are amazing, and really make tracks like Wait and Bleed, which relies heavily on the use of record scratching, and My Plague, which has some truly beautiful sounds from the trashcans.
I still dont like rap
Why do artists like Taylor Swift still feel the need to put out albums? It would make more sense to me if people like her just put out one or two singles every couple of months
because her legs?
ps i seen her navel once. 8/10. would view again.
Because her albums still sell and plus I'm an old-school guy I still love albums hell I Still Love CDs I want to hold it in my hand, when someone asks you have the new so and so album yeah I have it physically and not saved on some fictional magic cloud. Music nowadays is treated like a disposable camera, people buy music just to delete it in a couple of months what kind of shit is that I've tried streaming and it's just a waste of money for $9 a month I take my CDs over music in a fictional cloud
No_Stick_Drummer yeah, I have a friend who’s the same way, but I use digital because my family doesn’t need to hear my emo-ness constantly
My tweet didn't make it into the video, so naturally I am upset.
captainstabbin 50 hundred on my head that's disrespect so offended that I had to double check
hey mr. melon man i want you to know that the little guitar stunt at the beginning of the vid was enough to trick youtube and put you smack dab in the middle of my playlist.
You are a really good with the guitar , no shit id love to actualy hear more
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Wiz Khalifa had a picture of Drake as his iPhone's background.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Mia Khalifa had a picture of Anthony Fantano as her iPhone's background.
Elstree Don't let this distract you from the fact that I had a picture of Mia Khalifa as my iPhone background.
Anthony I want to sit you down and have a 15 hour debate with you I want to have all of the counterpoints ready and drag you through the mud
lol ok pal
Peel that melon
Just curious, but what points would you make? what do you personally disagree with?
that sounds like a thinly veiled allegory for wanting to have rough sex with Anthony fantano
The Mars Volta's Frances the Mute, and especially Cassandra Gemini in its entirety is a masterpiece of the first order.
Fuck yeah dude.
throw meg in that band, rock it out
Deloused as well
@@mudkips8399 Yeah, Deloused is still my favorite, maybe because it's the first of their albums I heard, but so many bangers from it while telling a great story
Bro yes. I recently discovered Mars Volta because they came up as similar artist to bands I listen to. No lie I think Frances the mute is like top 5 album for me ever. That’s hard since I have a lot of albums but that shit fucking bangs man.
The first white stripes album is by far my favorite. Cannon, screwdriver, St. James Infirmary Blues and one mor coffee for the road are all some of my favorite white stripes songs of all time
Excellent intro
THANK GOD PEOPLE STILL GET MEG WHITE
I think i tune in to watch to see what font you use equally as much as the topics.
Philip K D1ck had the concept of a virtual artist
in "Flow My Tears The Policeman Said" / "The Divine Invasion",
amazing storyteller, that finally is starting to see his great work being adapted... the Valis trilogy talks so much about music, 2nd chapter has a part with people working at a record & music gear store.
0:07 Am I listening to the chants of an angel?
Ty for mentioning James chance, he’s the definition of underrated
0:16 that instrumental switch up low key slapped tho
If you like older or more personal albums you should do a Fantanos Favorites segment or something like that.
I'm livid that only 500k people have listened to that beautiful intro.
you straight up used the same chord progression as the track review song, smh
CAN WE PLEASE GET A DAY IN THE LIFE OF FANTANO (HIS PROCESS FOR VIDEOS ETC)
yo fantano just shouted out james chance and the contortions and i'm literally crying and shaking right now
Let's argue: Melon is the best melon in the history of melons.
David Garcia Counterpoint: Melon gave watermelon a 10/10. He reviewed himself and didn't consider himself perfect. Even he doesn't consider himself the best melon.
Jordan Adams Melon's a strong 10. Watermelon's light 10. No question about it.
woaaa melon can play guitar
that's some basic guitar playing to be fair
He also plays the organ
I can play myself.
Anyone can play guitar.
It's a bass but yeah, thatistheplan taught Melon him how to play.
can that be the intro for ALL lets argue videos??? :O
1. Outside is one of my favorite Bowie albums. It's what got me back into him after all the misfires of the late 80's and early 90's.
