Nu-metal mallcore blows green donkey dicks... but to each his own... As far as nu-metal vs. old, well neither... In my eyes metal is the best it has ever been right now... sure the classic metalers rule, but I would take, lets say nevermore over any of the originals anyday...

I call it crap but that's just my opinion...
It's hard for me to take bands that wear baggy pants seriously.

I think all these so called "nu-metal" bands, or "no-metal" bands are utter SHITE (SHIT). What happened to guitar solos, none of them solo hardly. Guitar solos in nu-metal are like turn signals in Kentucky, nobody hardly uses them. I think all these groups sound the same and could fit under the moniker " Disturbed Drowning Limp Papa Linkin's Cold Coal Korn Bizkits". No to mention others such as Nonpoint, Adema, No One, etc.... But all trends come and go, just like the "80's Hair bands", "Grunge," "Rap-Metal," and now "nu-metal" or "no-metal." It's amazing how when one thing takes off, you see about a hundred other bands try to cash in on what's selling and how commercialized America is.
Now Playing: Halfcocked : the Last Star (pure hard rock with female vocals and GUITAR SOLOS. A Breath of fresh air to me, but maybe not quite metal enough for some. Still a good solid Hard Rock effort in the vein if early Crue, and GN"R if thats your cup off tea.)

Hehehe... now that's funny.
I really wonder who the hell dubbed this alterna-aggro form of rock 'nu-metal'.... some record company exec sitting in his office, trying to feed the (overly) young mindless public with some reasoning behind these bands.
Honestly, I can sit through only one of Limp Bizkit's and one of Korn's albums. The only reason why I can do that is because I cannot deny some brutal honesty that comes through the music and the way it sounds/way it was recorded. Then again, I can only do that for one of their albums. The rest are complete crap and don't amuse me in the least.
Their 'sound' has been diluted to the point of nausea. I can't believe these bands that seriously believe that their songs will carry any weight past this year's trend. Again, there you have the executive telling these bands that they are the next big thing, that they are 'different' then the others. As long aas they believe that, they'll do what they do, until the next thing comes around... And who knows what that will sound like.
'nu-metal' is not Metal, it's hip hop with distorted guitars and a screamer thrown in for distinction... LOL.

I'm with LSd on this one. Nu-metal is such fucking disgusting shit. It hurts to listen to it. 99% is total dog shit that sounds the same. The more popular metal(and I use that term very loosely) bands sound identical. There are some bands that are popular now that are good: Tool, Big Wreck are all right. Uhh, that's all I can think of. Funny, how the two bands I mentioned aren't nu-metal, or non-metal as some of you call it which I agree with. They are just some of the popular ones I like. As far as choosing old-school over nu-metal, I am fine with that. Some of the older badns are great. Like Black Sabbath(whats with all the nu-metalers loving Ozzy all of a sudden?) are pretty good but not really heavy enough for me, Pink Floyd are good in a hypnotic way, and theres always Led Zeppelin who just plain rock. But metal is definitely the best now, underground metal that is. But as LSD also said, give me a Linkin Park CD(nu-metal), give me Led Zeppelin IV(old school) and give me Dead Heart In A Dead World, I would take Dead Heart hands down no questions ask. I would then take the Zeppelin and listen to it later, and piss all over the Lickin Dick CD and light it on fire.
are the heaviest shit to come out of the USA, SO THEY ARE TAKING JOBS OF THE OLD TIMERS, I AM GETTING THAT ALL THE TIME, ITS THE NAME OF THE GAME...just get more skills..IT BEATS, euro power hands down if they are the leaders of of the metal revolution SO TO SPEAK, I love old school...as well....haven't sold my oLd records...

confused are you all, I am hear to demystifiy things...[sacrament_666, funny funny] I lve telling you all which is the crap , and which is the cool, u don't have the time to find out...please tell me if the new NEVERORE WILL BE BETTER THAN POE, becasue it skinks high heaven, and lets get back to in memory.....and experiment.

That is the first 'non-shit' thing to ever come out of your mouth (on THIS forum... ha ha ha), I actually agree. I don't like DHIADW, and wish nevermore would go back to In memory, Poe and DNB.
Now, to pick-apart the rest of what you said MT... (MT: hey man, how ya doin?... I'm still going to pick apart what you said tho.
)What's this shit about Primer 55 being the heaviest shit to come out of the usa?? Ever heard of Morbid Angel?? Ever heard Death's-The sound of perseverance???

You may not believe me, but people where I live in Kentucky hardly use turn signals. I don't know if they use turn signals where ledmag lives in Kentucky, but people sure as hell don't use them in the cities I travel. By the way true light, the seattle grunge band you were referring to are called My sisters Machine and not My Sisters Love Machine. I had a C.D. of theirs and they sounded similiar to Alice In Chains, (in my opinion, Alice In Chains and Soundgarden were the only good bands to come out of that era, and they were the next best things to come out of Seattle along with Jimi Hendrix, Queensryche, Heart, and NEVERMORE). Also, I wore flannel shirts and tore up jeans back when I was in High School in the mid 80's before the 90's grunge thing, and I will continue to wear flannel and jeans along with my concert t-shirts. Screw fashion, wear what you like and what's comfortable.

No of course not. However, I would get a bit worried....Although it is not always the case, there is some correlation between changes in appearance in changes in music. Take Machine Head as one example.
