What is "Nu-Metal"??????

[TylerTheNuke]

If you don't listen to it, then it doesn't matter what it is. I bet there are some good bands that are nu-metal though. If tool is, they are pretty good. Its funny to name the subgenres, like rap-rock, death-pop, death metal disco....

Yea "Nu-Metal is slowly fading out. You can also add the "new" Metallica under nu-metal .

Guess what ? i'm a poor musician also stuck in little town. Upstate NY is total opposite of NYC itself. Not sure what's worse the city or this. Atleast there is no crime.

Have not lost all my cds yet though!

That's proof that your taste in music sucks.

Whoever would consider White Zombie nu-metal especially when they formed in 85 must be pretty fucking retarded. Listen to Devil Music Vol.1 from 92. Besides the album being a great metal album it's very psychedelic 70's based. The entire band rocks out hard on that cd. The imagery,comic approach plus incoperated clips in the music throughout songs was like nothing else for the early 90's in metal. Classic albums

No one ever talks about that album probably because their simplistic trendy industrial approach with Atrocreep which is what most people view the band as.

Genres are quite indeed tangible and defineable. People who just say "meh, it's whatever and you can't define it" annoy me. You so can define genres, and there are few things that actually don't fit with some description. It's true that good music is good music regardless of genres and such, but it doesn't mean you can't say definitely something is *this.*

 

[Mormagil]

Agreed, and I'd even go so far as to say people who deny the existence of genres are fucking idiots. But AlphaTemplar was just being silly.

 

[Pessimism]

death metal disco....La Scrawl??? ki

 

[Crycheck]

I looked it up in the metal-archives.

White Zombie is there, but Rob Zombie. I agree with people when they call White Zombie nu-metal but Rob Zombie (at least Hellbilly Deluxe and House of 1000 Corpses) aint.

 

[Scarifier]

It made its own genre back in the white zombie days, even through to some rob zombie i wouldn't call it nu-metal

 

[CAIRATH]

People who think White Zombie is nu-metal need to get their ears checked.

WHAT!!!!!

Rob Zombie's solo project is industrial nu-metal. He picked the most crappy uninteresting musicians to back him. White Zombie was metal,wrote great tunes and was talented. His art and movie's are better than his solo project by a long shot.

How can a band that formed in 85 be nu-metal ?.

 

[skeptik]

White Zombie still fucking sucks regardless of genre.

Is that Taproot?

 

[Life Sucks]

Nu metal is shitty metal-influenced pop with hip hop-ish beats, lots of electronics, and rap-ish vocals. In short, nu metal = shit.

 

[Wyvern]

What's your opinion?

It's a myth distorted by media. It doesn't exist, it's called mallcore has nothing of metal in it.

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Is that Taproot?

Wham > Taproot

 

[Crycheck]

Rob Zombie has done some not nu-metal things and some nu-metal yeah. I'd like him a lot more if I hadn't seen him rap with a rapper in a sharity show.................

 

[Lyle]

Wham is probably the best band in this thread.

 

[KMADD]

Wham > Taproot

You scare me Jp!
