Yeah! Thats great. There should be one for Nu Metal too. Like:
Notes per riff:
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
Lyrical theme:
A) Life sucks
B) Daddy raped me as a youth
C) How an ex wronged me
Image:
A) Famous name brand sneaker garb from head to toe
B) Hooded sweatshirts, unnecessarily baggy pants, retro sneakers
C) Dreads or Braids, which really means "too suburban to be allowed to have real dreads"
D) Eyebrow piercing
E) All of the above
Guitar rig:
A) Ibanez 7 string guitars
B) A thousand unecessary stomp boxes
C) Cheap, crap amp that has a shitty tone....because its obvious that tone doesnt matter in Nu Metal as long as you get mucho bass
D) Downtuned 6 string Ibanez guitars (cant afford the 7 stringers yet)
E) A, B, C
F) B, C, D
Stage Presence:
A) Like Munky and Head from Korn, which is being bent at the waist so the guitar is near the ankles, and lifting one leg up and down to simulate a stomp of some sort, and the roll your head on your shoulders staring at the ceiling like you were pretending you were a zombie move. Coal Chamber lifted that move.
B) Fred Durst's saggy pants pinkie finger under the mic, and nut grabbing, which screams "Hi, I'm a tough suburban white guy with tattoos, and a backward baseball cap. Arent I totally street and underground?"
C) There is no C. A and B are the only choices.
Who to blame for your existence:
A) Korn
B) Limp Bizkit
C) Linkin Park
D) Slipknot
E) Staind
F) Coal Chamber
That would pretty much sum up the Nu Metal formula to me.
