Members finboy Posted October 31, 2011 Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 i still have a couple korn albums on my ipod, probably some linkin park too, and of course the deftones because they really were the shining light of that era. as bad as limp bizkit was, i still liked a lot of wes borland's stuff.

Members Sad Darwin Posted October 31, 2011 Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 Dubstep and nu-metal should never meet. Why not? They are both equally formulaic, reflexive, and predictable. It makes perfect sense to me. May both genres rot in hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zygoat Posted October 31, 2011 Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 LOL man. I loved nu-metal too. In the 8th grade I had a friend who could shred, he was into Eric Johnson and Malmsteen, I guess he bought the first Korn album thinking it was legit metal and hated it so he just gave it to me. Then I was all about teh flog! You know what numetal album I still love though is Roots by Sepultura, that thing sounds phenomenal and the songs are just heavy as {censored}.

Members Dr.Pain-MD Posted October 31, 2011 Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 I was never really into this stuff, but I did love Papa Roach. They were one of the first bands that I listened to that I wasn't introduced to by my parents (like The Beatles and The Cranberries). Once in a while I like to relisten to some stuff because some of it is just as catchy and riffy as when I first heard it.[YOUTUBE]y-NXLOwUgRg[/YOUTUBE]Funny though, some of my friends were really into the stuff back in the day and they still like to pop on some Limp Bizkit once in while and have a good nostalgic laugh and such. My one buddy actually saw them at a festival in Belgium last summer which turned out to be Fred Durst's birthday, so the guy had all the chicks in the crowd come on stage and dance until the stage was so full that people they were practically falling off.

Members Dr.Pain-MD Posted October 31, 2011 Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 I always thought that Korn were pretty terrible, even when I "liked" nu-metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Goldenglove Posted October 31, 2011 Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 Used to love Slipknot, though I haven't listened to a song of theirs in years. Can't stand the vocals in SOAD. Deftones are great, Korn I still like too (even though no one here seems to like them). Their dubstep stuff is terrible, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kid_A Posted October 31, 2011 Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 Loobs thats weird, I was at a halloween party on Saturday and all they played was Nut Metal?! Is this the hipsters taking nu metal and making it hip? I had a cross breed love for some nu metal... Follow The Leader by Korn has some incredible tunes... Limp Bizkit, Fred Durst aside, have some mint tunes too... Boiler is {censored}ing quality... ....but, Nu Metal also gave us some {censored}ing wank.... Spineshank? Ergh, Stained? You having a laugh? Thank god the Strokes and Libertines pulled me back from the brink... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spentron Posted October 31, 2011 Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 I disagree heavily with the main sentiment voiced here. At the time, nu metal seemed like a big step down from real metal. But compared to most current music and every last band that gets actually promoted, it seems great.

Members NetStar Posted October 31, 2011 Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 My friend who is still heavily into his Nu metal invited me to see Stained in Camden the other week. I told him maybe, then looked them up on YouTube only to back track so fast it was like pulling the handbrake on the motorway.Wtf?Every song started with acoustic guitar before a bit of a chordy chorus. No riffs at all and like Nickleback but somehow more boring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Edkoppel Posted October 31, 2011 Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 you guys and your early 00's Nu Metal...the late 90s Nu Metal scene was really where it was at!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOetgPLITPU [video=youtube;-n7DfMU_nls] no but really, the deftones weren't Nu metal.

Members theroan Posted October 31, 2011 Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 Using a metal analogy. Nu metal is like foil. It's not that heavy and it was meant to be thrown away. To give credit to where its due. Deftones and Korn were innovators. I'm not sure if 7 strings would be used if it werent for Korn. Not mention that they did have a very unique sound at the time.

Their first album came out quite a long time before nu-metal got really big though. Wasn't it out in 94? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kid_A Posted October 31, 2011 Members Share Posted October 31, 2011 Deftones are probably the only band who came out of all that with a good rep... even people i know who hate nu metal will agree that white pony is sublime... I recently got Saturday Night Wrist and was blown away... still never seen them live though... As for the Libertines... I have zero respect for anyone in that band (actually no, Gary Powell is actually a top fella)... but the debut album was {censored} hot...
