What If...... Nu-metal came out in 1987???

[Weapon X]

What if Nu-Metal craze came out in let's say 1987. What old metal bands would be labeled, falsely or rightly Nu-metal???

Rap Nu-metal Nominees:

Beastie Boys
Faith No More
Anthrax

Regular Nu-metal Nominees:

Suicidal Tendencies
Anthrax

Who would you nominate?

This isn’t suppose to be serious. So don't flame me.

Helmet, a few years later anyway.

But yeh, the bands you mentioned are more complex than numetal.. not saying that they wouldn't get popular for that matter.... but... they didn't get mainsteam-level popularity... so.... I guess that's the point isn't it...

It's about labeling and not whether it's true nu-metal.

Its not that fucking hard of a concept.

Hate Eternal = metal
Disturbed =/= metal

Lets see...nu metal of the 80's...

Would whats his name...Gary Numan...count? If not the name alone should. Ok, bad joke. But since FF did the song with a cheeseball rendition, it could validate it indirectly. I dunno.

Ok, you said 80's Metal bands. Not "80's" bands. Whoops.

That's what I was going to say. But the Dave days of Van Halen better not be the Van Halen you have listed... If it's the Van Hagar days, I could give two shits because that's when they went shitty.

Well, I think the first three albums are great.... But I'd still have to list them, cause they were the most popular during those days.... Sorry...
