Worst 'metal' hits of the late '90s & early '00s

[Onder]

And yes, this thread needs Slipknot:

 

[Rumpole]

This thread is like a distillation of all the very worst bits of high school.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Chiming in to defend Slipknot, at least the first 2 albums.

 

[Necroraven]

I can only imagine this video everytime someone mentions Avenged Sevenfold (or even better, the song itself).

 

[Nichrome]

Why did all of this garbage seem to exclusively come from America?

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

That should be easy to answer.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

An extraordinarily high proportion of stupid, shallow people compared to other Western nations?

Well that and a lot of influence from the cultural juggernaut of hip hop.

 

[Arcbound Phyrexian]

Eh, I still have a soft spot for KoЯn. Of all the little bit of nu metal I used to listen to, KoЯn is the only one that's still on my library and still gets a listen.

I even enjoy their newer (not as good) albums. They're not close to being metal, but I can appreciate what they are. Sue me.

 

[Blind Guardian]

For some reason I had never thought about it before, but Korn is a really horrible band name.

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

I had a strange Korn phase around 3 years ago, was never quite sure why but found it strangley likeable...their earlier albums anyway (first 2 mainly, especially the second one), I've never liked anything they've done in the last several years

 

[Tonka Time]

at that A7X vid. THEY. ARE. SO. DEDICATED!!!!

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Why did all of this garbage seem to exclusively come from America?

Because your country already had the monopoly on androgynous indie/alternative crap so we had to do something different.

 

[SkeletonWitch]

JUMP DA FUK UP !

 

[Zephyrus]

 

[Satanstoenail]

There's the low point right there.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

My name is KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hop chop da boogie ect.


Fucking /thread.

 

[Personified Hatred]

For me, everyone which was already mentioned.

 

[Zephyrus]

 

[The Ozzman]

Cypress Hill kicks ass. SkeletonWitch doesn't

This nearly gave me cancer when I was playing through Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance and noticed it.
Lyrics are what the fuck too. "you cant kill me, I'm immortal. I'm not afraid to die, my soul will travel on".... wut?

I never really had a problem with kid rock's goofy shit. Maybe it's because where I live/grew up is bordering on the south but he wasnt nearly as offensive as some of the other stuff in this thread.
