no, its not Rage Against the Mansion or Rage Against the Machine..

now they are simply "the Machine" ;)

His Infernal Mansion

dude, sorry, none of us picked up on the HIM threads because asside from HIM Haile Selassie I, HIM fucking sucks!

You like Jesus, guy.

back on topic.. why do folks classify bands as nu-metal simply because they played loud guitar oriented music in the late 90s early 2000s? Surely there are more criteria than this..

I argue again:

1) hip hop drum work
2) no solos
3) loud crust/hardcore vocals on chorus

this is similar to rap-rock though rap rock which precedes nu-metal specifically has the addition of

4) rapping
5) hip hop bass lines/guitar licks
6) samples

I agreed with every word. Especially when you said "to" and "had".

White messiahs can't jump.

crust?

feel free to edit that article, hah..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-LNT1r6GRA Vanilla Ice's nu-metal days haha.

^ The impression I always got from that song was that Vanilla Ice had to try waaaay too hard just to be a third-rate Fred Durst.

I just remembered a track I liked, From Zero "Check Ya"

GOODBYEEEEEE
NICE TO KNOW YOUUUUU

I pulled out all 3 amen cd's last night and listened to em. Amazing band. Casey played all the instruments except the drums on all the cd's so every album is consistent since he changed members 500 times. Intense and awesome. Probably better distortion than even Albini. Amazing band.

Yeah Amen are badass!

FEVERED and UNCLEAN and WAITING 18 and FUCK IN LA are just great songs.

They remind me of that band THE FLESHIES... mixed with Ross Robinson.

This Limp Bizkit demo is INTENSE.

Wierd i just realized i used to have a crush on John Otto in 9th grade. He was in piano class and band with me. I did not even realize he was in that band untill I read his name. I never liked em probably cause I never thought too much of Wess. They did that Tom sawyer song by rush at the talent show one year. It was OK. I never would have guessed this is where they would be.

I love your posts Gail.

Thanks! I like yrs tooooo

Haha that's awesome. How was John Otto? Did you meet Fred Durst? What was he like?

I did not know Fred. Just John and Wess. John was REALLY nice and kind of quiet. He was a grade or 2 ahead of me. I thought he was talented. Thats probably why i liked him he had a girlfriend in those days though. Wess seemed very egotistical to me. Don't like that. This was at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts. It was cool having the chance to go there cause I met a few people who have actuially made it these days and from this town.

Its hard to belive zach from rage was in a band with guys who are now in 108 i say that because rage suck!

oh anyone remember one minute silence?

Well Wes is always wearing ridiculous make-up and get ups so I guess his egotistical edge seeped into the band's aesthetic. Heheheh.

Ithought he was a retard. it still seems so wierd that John is in that band I never really knew. I was never into Nu metal just regular old 80's metal.Now seeing his face snaps me back He looks alot different than then. But it was almost 2 decades ago I am getting old.

Super low drop riffing, crazy noises in lieu of guitar solos, sometimes rap-ish vocals...I guess they're OK, but to me they'd be better if they could get out of the key of B flat/A sharp...

This is quite possibly the coolest post on this entire forum.

the only band i like that some call nu metal is system of a down... or its the only one i can think of. was just listening to Mezmerize the other day..

the worst genre of music ever

I'd say glam rock or whatever is the worst genre of music ever, so you're in luck we just have opposite tastes.

system of a down is the only "nu metal" band i could ever tolerate, im actually a big fan. but from what ive heard of every other nu metal band, i got bored of most of it. linkin park.. limp bizkit.. papa roach, etc. bored/bore the hell out of me. i'll give credit to korn though, they arent so bad, i found them really interesting in the early 2000's but it just isn't my thing.

glam rock? that can be anything from the new york dolls or roxy music to guns n roses and motley crue? all those bands rule.

I'm not a fan of any band you listed there.

Are you a fan of The Acacia Strain at all?

fuck, spineshank - height of callousness is such a fucking awesome album

so good... one of the best bands ever! they kinda took the static-x/ministry sound and made it even crazier.. kinda like pitchshifter but even meaner!

anyone like blindside?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-K2EdbnK6s

they kinda are like a weird mix between super crazy dope nostalgic nu metal and the beginnings of girlpants rock. great band.

fucking hilarious! Is that what you call all this bullshit the kids in their sister's pants at the skate park are listening to on the radio? I haven't been able to make any sense of it, but I thought it might just be me since I have never been much fond of the radio..

I been wantin to start a coalition to go around to all these tight pant wearing youth on the street and supply them with some baggy pants, 90s era, right there and then on the street. I mean we don't have to necessarily go to the rave in the JNCO, but at least some baggy 501s? I used to scoff at my mom when she clowned our baggy jeans regailing us with stories of dudes in her high school pulling up their zipper with plyers...
we never thought it would honestly swing back! you can't even buy regular jeans anymore, you have to get em in the cut.
