Drowning Pool

[xFkx]

Yes

I like numetalz too, mudvayne, pleymo (1'st album), slipknot.... but drowning pool, saliva, c'mon ? how mundane can you get

 

[Metaltastic]

Nononono, dude, actual hardcore is absolutely something else. Heard Blood for Blood's Outlaw anthems, for example? Check that one out ASAP!

Drowning Pool and Saliva, on the other hand... Well, just no.

Sorry man, I definitely am acquainted with Blood for Blood, Madball, Sworn Enemy, 25 ta Life, etc., and I'm still definitely not a fan (it's not NEARLY as bad as modern hardcore/metalcore, but I still regard it as kinda redneck/tough guy, which is NOT my thing)

the thing that gets me is that most people that listen to metal/ hard rock these days look at it that if the music is in anyway catchy or able to be played on a normal radio station format it just sucks.

What's wrong with having a little edge, but at the same time writing with hooks and singing?

i listen to my share of various metal sub genre's, but i still enjoy listening to the more "commercial" hard rock/metal.

it is what it is

Heh, fair enough I can't take the white trash bitching attitude 100% serious myself at times (ok, so you're white, fat and poor, just get a fucking job and start jogging) but all in all I still dig a lot of good hardcore bands like no tomorrow And hey, any song that starts with the words "Fucking your pussy was like fucking a wound from a shotgun blast... With gangrene!" can't be bad

Pounding Drool.

I'm glad this style of music went away.

No, Soilwork and Scar Symmetry write music with both edge and hooks - Drowning Pool is for dumb jocks.

Hey, at least the mix is kinda cool.

Does Switched count as nu-metal (Ben Schigel's inactive band)? Because I used to like them a lot, and I still definitely don't mind listening to them. I think they've written some pretty cool stuff actually.

As in the band that did the song Inside? I love that shit.

Yes, that band. I would say it's got a nu-metal tinge to it, but the writing and overall vibe sounds pretty credible to me.

Yeah I would definitely consider that nu metal. But who cares it rules!
