Neither Pantera nor Metallica started Nu Metal.
Thos cunt-crack-whores KoRn and slipknot did. And all the people thought they were cool cause of their basketball jerseys and masks and clean vocals and sexy NU sound. SUCK MY CLITORIS.
I fucking listened to my RTL and MOP and Black Album as well as ...AJFA and I realized that Metallica isn't THAT bad. In fact they fucking rocked until Load, at that point I ripped my cock out. Their solos are amazing, the songs are long, so you get what you paid for... And it's THRASH. Whiplash and Seek & Destroy can be compared to the likes of songs of Exodus and Kreator, cause it's all so goddamned fast. I think that the talent is there, on all parts and instruments, the clean vocals are nice (on recordings at least) and fuck... selling out killed them? And so the same future awaits all of the good bands out there.
And fuck off with the Pantera. At least Dime could play guitar. Sure sure, shit powere metal, but they revolutionized many parts of metal and I'm glad they did. They got me into metal, and FUCK I'm not getting out. I just happen to not like them much anymore.
