I'd say the same for Opeth, but they've probably got thier hands down a Roadrunner Exuecutives pants.
Did you have a Nu-Metal phase?

I think Tool and Opether are both pretty boring, but my mom and brother like Tool. I like earlier Rammstein, but I find each album progressively harder to enjoy as there are more and more songs that I don't like with each new release. Unfortunately, my mom and brother prefer their newer stuff. So, between the newer Rammstein and Tool, carpooling with them is a bitch.
Haha, they didn't even bother trying to disguise the MIDI with soundfonts or anything. I'll never forget the sound of Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth

The first band i ever listened too was Kult Underground Tr00 Extreme Satanic (Darker Than) Black Metal MoFo's. The are the only band i listen to ever.
Seriously, i had a bit of a nu-metal phase and still don't mind some albums from that era and a couple of bands.

I'm 30 years old. When I got into metal, nu-metal did not exist. However, I did listen to 80s hard rock (Guns N Roses, Skid Row, Warrant, Motley Crue, etc.) before getting into real metal. I guess you can say that stuff was the nu metal of the time.

Technically speaking...Glam metal is still metal. Skid Row is considered by many to be one of the first mainstream metal bands (other than Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth).

I beg to differ. Glam metal is hard rock. Hard rock is not metal. Even though Skid Row were arguably not a glam band, they are clearly of a different ilk than Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth, and even Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath.

I started my teens in the late 80s, but my heyday was in the early/mid 90s... got into metal back in 86 by means of Iron Maiden and Megadeth... never got into nu-metal though thank god. Loved, and still love my grunge among other things.

Slayer was never really mainstream dude. They don't even have a platinum album in the US. A couple of Golds is it. In my eyes to be mainstream you have to at least have a couple platinums under your belt to be mainstream. I'm not even sure if I would call Megadeth mainstream, but they hit it pretty big in to 90's I would say.
I guess Grunge was kinda my Nu-Metal, but I got into Metal like Slayer, Metallica, & Morbid Angel before I got a Soundgarden album. I was never really big into them, a good friend of mine just listened to them. I was big into NIN & Marily Manson though. I was also listening to a ton of Led Zeppelin & Jimi Hendrix. Classic Rock was popular with my school click.

It was the nu metal of the time in that it has some similarities to metal, but is more accessible than metal and is not as hard as metal. Sure, it is far more substantial musically than nu metal, but the similarity I pointed out can't be denied.
