Cut my life into pieces
I've reached my last resort, suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arms bleeding
Do you even care if I die bleeding
Would it be wrong, would it be right
If I took my life tonight, chance are that I might
Mutilation out of sight and I'm contemplating suicide
-Papa Roach (sure sounds like they're not too happy with life to me, unless suicide is a good thing)
No, a trait of rapcore. Not nu-metal. The band also never rapped on Iowa, only on some songs on the self titled, MFKR was an experimental album, they used lots of different elements, even resorting to funk, and disco at one point.
So, rap is not a trait of nu-metal. Funny, I hear some rap influences with Papa Roach, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Disturbed and I'm sure there are more.
ell its true, they are heavier sounding than other "numetal" bands out there.
Again, a band is not judged solely on brutality.
welcome to 2003.
Well, I'm not sure what you intended on getting across with this statement. Next time, try explaining yourself better. THanks for the welcome.
Theyre not considered metal because they dont consentrate on theyre guitar elements, and use lots of distortion, simple notes and whatso. They consentrate on theyre drumming, which is pretty rare in the mainstream, they are also not considered metal because of the many metalheads who think they loose theyre metal mentallity throughout theyre peers if they listen to it or call it metal, but the fact remains they have more metal elemts than they would punk, rap, rock, or anything.
It's hard not to concentrate on drumming when you have three of them.
I constantly hear about the "mentality" thing and to be honest, I really don't see this metality beyond the 15 year old kiddies who are trying to be a hardcore metalhead. Most 20-somethings just see the music for it is- below quality.
People have lots of different tastes of music. Take a look at in flames, they admitted to listening to the backstreet boys, but theyre they are a metal band.
Not a very good one.
Snoop dogg is a rapper, but as we just found out, he was influenced by Metallica.. and he isnt even close to metal rock or any sort, he's a full blown sucesfull rapper.
Yes, I heard of this. Although I'm skeptical, because Snoop isn't exactly what we'd call a publicity dodger.
Lets take it your in a band, you have 5 members. People want you to drop a member that is vital to your live shows and other elements, your also very close friends with this person, would you tell him "your off the band, fuck off" ? I highly doubt it. They havent rapped since theyre self titled either. Sorry.
From what I've heard, the band members are having internal problems, so yes, I might tell one of them to "fuck off".
Dont we all. I'm sure youve got a job, But look at that, you could be selling your soul to a faceless company[/i] :O
I could be, but I choose not to, unlike Slipknot.
Its your opinion weither they suck or not, nothing will take that away, but they basically arent nu metal, and comparing them to other nu metal bands is a joke, theyre only considered nu metal because they have a gimmick (but hey, dont all bands, or how would they get theyre message across ) and they are mainstream, thats basically it. Calling a band nu metal because they are mainstream is pretty fuckign stupid in my honest opinion.
WHo said I called them nu-metal because they are mainstream? I called them nu-metal because they fit the mold, easily.
And I'm tired of everyone's favorite saying "It's just your opinion." When will people realize that not everyone's opinion is equally valid. Sorry....
