[Chimaera]

Can't say I listened to the Deftones as much as I should have, but this is still pretty saddening. RIP.

It feels weird being the one to pull this card, but...not metal so doesn't belong.

That said RIP and all

I know a few prominent members of this forum are into them, so I thought it was fitting enough.

deftones isn't metal? LOL

We are still pretending nu metal isn't metal?

Nu-Metal is metal but Deftones are definitely more towards the rock end of Nu-Metal but whatever. It's a shame to see this guy die this way. Four years in a semi-conscious state only to die of a heart attack is no way to go.

Well, you've posted a few things that were even less "metal" (i.e. that one tomboy chick who sang folk or some shit).

Anyways, sucks to see anybody die like that. RIP

Nu-Metal sucks for the most part, but it's still more "metal" than fagcore.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Fagcore doesn't sound very metal at all. Is it new?

Oh. I kinda pictured a band where the members furiously bum each other while they play.

 

[Nephilim96]

Well, that's pretty much what it is.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Fair call.

It never has been?

Obviously, but I've not made threads in the main GMD about it

Nu-Metal is one of those things that the bands labelled as nu-metal probably did not even listen to metal, they have heavier guitars. There are plenty of Rock bands that were edgy and had heavier guitars also. I think it was just hard for nu-metal bands to be labelled at the time.
