For metal he very well might be. I'm still subscribed to him, Reza and Segeborn. Segeborn has been by far most helpful for me, especially his speaker shootouts. Kyle is very entertaining, so I mostly watch for that, but not really much gear he shows that I've not already tried (unlike Reza who gets many 1st's at things) and his overall recorded sound is imho a bit muffled and undefined/lacking detail. I'm not that good at recording either (I don't have the time these days to work on it), but imo already get better results than that sound. Video editing like that though I really don't wanna learn lol, so props to him for that. Reza and Segeborn's stuff is way easier to crank for the most part I'd think
