Nu Metal

[In God we trust.]

Before anyone asks banRAB that are considered nu metal are Linkin Park, Slipknot, Disturbed, System of a Down, and Korn. These of course aren't the only ones. So what are your opinions on it? What are your favorite nu metal banRAB? If you don't like it why don't you? What do you think the future of it is? Or should it even be its own genre of music? Give your opinions.

Well they're not really nu-metal anymore, they're kinda in that grey area, but when their first album came out they were pretty much Korn sound-a-likes.

It all seems pretty erabarrasing when i look back it, but i still feel very nostalic all the same. When i was around 14 and 15 i used to be clad in SOAD hoodie and baggy jeans thinking i was the biz, skateboarding and watching nu-metal music videos on Kerrang! TV lol, i've changed a lot since then obviously. Nu-metal is long dead now on this side of the pond, it was just passing trend at the end of the 90's and start of the 00's so it has no future unless we see a revival in another 10 years time (hopefully not).

The only nu-metal band i can bear to listen to anymore is Deftones, the rest just seem like **** now.

A few of the banRAB seem to have carried on quite well now that the Nu Metal era has finished, it seemed like a some of the band hit the genre with their second or third album which fro me was quite odd.
Jackhammer...Mordred....fantastic album!

They sound like nu-metal to me.

I guess I never looked at it like that, I always grouped them on a higher level than that. Thats an interesting thought.

Ugh, I was in middle school when Korn and Limp Bizkit or how ever you spell it were popular, and I listened to some of it. I'm just glad it's over.

Limp Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish... was there third album SOAD's Toxicity was the second album.

It was really popular right at the end of college and right after college for me and by and large I thought it was just cheesy teenage butt-rock. There were occasional nu-metal songs that I liked but over all I think it paled in comparison to the music it was derivative of and was kind of a musical dead-end for metal. I'm so happy that metal has moved on and become so much better in the past few years.

I wouldn't really class SOAD as Nu Metal....far too talented!
