It's interesting how "drop D" has become synonymous with Nu Metal, I can't think of many bands in the genre that actually played in it. Probably a whole pile of bedroom players with line 6 spider 2 combos though. Sure more acts than I can list used drop tunings (primarily Db and C) , but normally lower than D. A lot of bands used standard intervals despite tuning down for example KoRn, Limp Bizkit, Static X. Many of Wes Borland's riffs and more melodic parts really lean on having that high string the same note as the lowest, guy loves his octaves.

These guys are probably in their 40s but are still dressing on stage like they are 26 in 2001. Its like if you play this kind of music you're stuck in an infinite loop of bad haircuts and spiky leather cuffs.

I overall prefered it to the unfunny, uninsightful, pretentious and frankly dull hipsters/'geeks'/whatever this is we've become as a people, it may have been stupid, trashy and devoid of self awarenes but at least it was fun.

Joining a band is supposed to be cool, and those guys do that with the opportunity.

I found a thing on youtube from this thread and that's that there's a genre of video that is basically "x reacts to heavy metal song" with vocal coach and black person being the two most common values for X. The entire thing just exists to validate middle aged white guys music tastes. It's really cool.

E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7F30L1xKU4. Most others are just jerking off the performers to get the thumbs up from their stupid fans.

I was listening to Fear Factory's Obsolete earlier and between that and Digimortal I have no idea how they continually escape the nu metal label (at least for those albums).

mobby_6kl posted:Yeah, that's true as hard as it is to imagine. Once I've fallen into the "x reacts" trap after searching for a specific music video and there's definitely a pretty satisfying element in them like you're showing your favorite band to a fake friend so you get this desire to see what they think about all your favorite stuff. But within a few videos it was clear that they're not providing any criticism or even a clear opinion and ultimately these videos are absolutely pointless. I likened it more to a Minstrel show because its usually some poor black guy being forced to listen to the whitest music imaginable for entertainment of the viewer (the ones in my feed were primus and tool) but your version works too i guess.

Eh, if anything they are one the chief progenitors of it along with Faith No More, Suicidal Tendencies, etc. As this thread shows its a really weird genre in that for some people its "any metal band from 1996-2004 and for others its way more drilled down to a more specific definition.

Is Demolition by Judas Priest numetal? At the time I felt like they were trying to cash in on the fad but now it just looks influenced by the times (like all their albums) but very distinct. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG9dsv2_Ouc

If you listen to RATM's first album like start to finish, you'll find out along with me and everyone else that has listened to it in the last few years, that Zach De La Rocha is some kind of insane prophet

THE 21 GREATEST NU-METAL ALBUMS OF ALL TIME – RANKED I guess we've hit the point where there's nostalgia for nu metal. I can't think of anything missing from that list, but I'm not sure I'd want to admit to it if I could.

I saw some chart and literally every top metal song from 1994-2010 was nu metal. From 2010 onward it was all loving Megadeath or Black Sabbath.

Every time it pops into my head, I have to share this video with someone. This thread seems to be the most appropriate place, as the unfortunately-named subgenre 'Wigger Slam' appears an offshoot of Nu-Metal and Deathcore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nkp48SZ0Gf4 Peep that drum kit.
