I'm older than you guys so my senior yearbook quote was taken from W.A.S.P.

DwayneJohnson.jpg

"Who Dares Wins"

Fortunately, even though I didn't know it at the time, it isn't specific to the band, so it doesn't sound as retarded later on. What does sound retarded is the fact that it is literally the exact opposite of what my life has become: complacent, lazy, and boring.

If only I had heeded the wisdom of Blackie Lawless!

I think this version is even better than the album version:

I don't know why properly identifying nu-metal is such a confusing issue.

It's not "any metal that I don't like"

It's something that sounds at least a little bit like metal, but for some fucking reason, somebody is scratching on a turntable. That's the essential component.

I was looking at my HS yearbook a few months ago and saw that I had used a Staind quote under my grad picture.

Jesus Fucking Christ, I suck.

It's ok. My senior quote was a bunch of inside jokes about tripping on acid with my friends. The future was bright!

"Rap-rock band with a DJ?
Someone tell this band what year it is."

Not judging, I listened to more than my share of it too.

The only nu metal band I can think of with a DJ is Limp Bizkit. I guess you can count Incubus too. Oh and CRAZY TOWN

Spineshank dude actually went on to form a metal-core (did I get the subgenre right?) band:



Nu metal goodness:

One of the first entries is 311. Aren't they like shitty whiteboy reggae/rap music?

I wouldn't even RATM metal. They set out to emulate 90's underground sample heavy hip hop with live instruments and I thought Tom Morello nailed it pretty well with the screeches and scratching and shit. I also get if you're not a hip hop fan though why it would sound shitty.

I would love for a Mudvayne reunion, nothing put out to date from Hellyeah has come anywhere close to LD50. Apparently the singer Chad or whatever is a real prick though.

that first Mudvayne album was deceptively proggy, especially the bass player. i feel ridiculous going back and listening to it, tho, because the dumb singer just threw in the words "mother fucker" and "bullshit" every time he didn't know what else to say.

but that's nu metal for you.

I didn't think Kittie was nu-metal? I always considered them whorecore along with bands like the butcher babies and in this moment:

edit: I listened to Brackish and now I get why Kittie was nu-metal.

I'm seeing a show with them, Motionless in White, Avatar and Gemini Syndrome next month. I am least looking forward to seeing In This Moment (which sucks because they're the headliner) but it's good to know she's at least good to look at.
