Bands you like that everyone else hates

[Badbird]

I never listened to nu-metal i feel like I'm missing something.

You are not missing anything.

 

[VelociBrad]

You are not missing anything.

yeah this.

 

[damnromulans]

You're all entitled to your opinions and we are to ours. I don't think any of us here are trying to argue that Limp Bizkit is tr00 metal, so what's the problem?

@DB you're not missing out unless you are a hormonal teenager, in which case yelling over rap beats with distorted guitars could be good for you. It's pretty nostalgic for me personally.

 

[TheInsane]

I did like some of the stuff Machine Head tried to do on "the burning red" that could be classified as nu-metal. Of course the stuff before and after are miles ahead of that stuff but they did manage to fit some good stuff on that record.

 

[sevag00]

I like System of a Down Toxicity.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

I think i'm in the wrong forum,no one here should like slipknot/korn/limp biskit...tis shit ppl

If you take yourself that seriously, then yeah, you're in the wrong forum.

I tried to envision myself in the shoes of the aforementioned teenager, and the result was a hilarious mental image.

Disturbed are no longer Nu Metal...The last 2 albums have been more like Heavy Rock..They sound like Nevermore for the mainstream.

 

[ThrasherStax]

i like all System of A Down, & i also like Breaking Benjamin for what they did in Halo 2, but just what they did there, flame if you must

 

[damnromulans]

SOAD was the perfect soundtrack to a pseudo-leftist high school life.

 

[Shadow King]

Steel Panther

 

[damnromulans]

STEEL PANTHER ARE AWESOME.

SOMEBODY SMELLS LIKE SUSHI

 

[RedFox742]

Hypothetically, nu-metal could be quite good. But you really need an ACTUAL rapper working with an ACTUAL metal band. That's why Anthrax/Public Enemy worked so well. An Eminem/Mastodon team-up, for instance, however insane, would produce fascinating results.

*expects flames for that last suggestion*

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Remember Stuck Mojo? That was "actual" rap + "actual" metal. I was always intrigued how they had a black rapper in the group while flaunting the Confederate Flag at the same time.

 

[RedFox742]

Ugh, was it? Stuck Mojo is one of the worst bands I've ever heard.

I don't entirely retract my statement, though. Bring the Noise is still a great song.

 

[Krow]

It doesnt work.
It's the main problem I have with a band like Body Count.

He's a damn good vocalist... but metal doesnt need black man rap lyrics.
Just rap about mutilation/satan/whatever. White people dont care that you want to fuck a white girl and her dad cant find out. We can do that and not worry about her dad.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Body Count sounded more hardcore than metal IMO. I suppose the lyirics were rappish, but Ice-T did not deliver them in the rap style, he shouted them HC style.

 

[IntoPhagist]

Street Sweeper Social Club are the best rap/rock band.

I actually really enjoy Korn...For a mainstream band they're pretty unique and heavy...The first 5 albums are all pretty cool and Jonathan Davis seems like a chill guy. I really just can't stand the vocal choices sometimes and angsty lyrics.

Korn - Good heavy groove with a new sound
Life is Peachy - same as above just some weird experimental crap
Follow the Leader - Mainstream but catchy
Issues - Really mature and cool
Untouchables - Last interesting album, I like the vocals here the most.

I haven't heard anything since untouchables besides a few songs but they sound terrible.

A black person flaunting the Confederate FlagI guess he's black trash.

 

[Tonka Time]

I never listened to nu-metal i feel like I'm missing something.

In a way it's like saying "I've never been raped i feel like I'm missing something."
