The Best and Worst of the Nu-Metal era.

[FireHawk]

The best:
KoRn - they started it all (Firts 3 albums are gods of nu metal)

Deftones - almost the same as KoRn

Disturbed - solos on the last album..heavy riffs..excelent lyrics

Rage Against the machine - political attitude and awesome songs

Tool - morbid videos, and awesome songs too

LP - since I was a huge fan

Worst: Everything else

About evanescence..they are insanely boring..When I heard their concert on MTV I fall asleep

Like everything you said except I don't care for Tool and Deftones...as for Worst in in nu-metal I agree with everything else, except LB's The Unquestionable Truth Part 1 (very Rage Against The Machineish).

btw Amy Lee is hot

Tool and Rage Against the Machine really aren't nu metal bands I don't think.

 

[FireHawk]

I don't think Papa Roach fits nu-metal btw

and I would say SOAD was the worst nu-metal band

rage against the machine was numetal, they pioneered the genre. they mixed other stuff along with rap and rock though, like funk

 

[Stenners]

^^

No they werent Nu-Metal they were very much alternative they may of helped inspire ther Nu-Metal phase much like Run DMC could have.

 

[Friðbjörn]

yes they were...the combined rap and rock among other things

I agree with almost everything u said.

I agree with KoRn, Disturbed and them cause they are awesome. Distrubed's sound is almost godly to me(hehe). KoRn, u cant NOT like KoRn.

so yea, i agree cept Tool and Deftones

 

[xXMelancholiaXx]

KoRn, u cant NOT like KoRn.

I don't like them.

Nu-metal doesnt mean rap-rock, its just a "new" genre of metal, that happens to include rapping in SOME cases.

A new commericalized version of metal.

 

[Friðbjörn]

sure that's the litteral meaning of the word, but not what I meant

 

[Insomniac]

Still, ratm dont count as nu metal.

Well, maybe PR's first album Infest. After that it went downhill towards rock.

 

[xXMelancholiaXx]

Some of these bands you guys are talking about "Papa Roach, Disturbed" started out as nu metal but eventually went toward a more hard rock direction or something those lines. Others like System of a Down and Evanescence tread the line as "Alternative Rock/Metal" and incorporate various nu metal elements well as elements from other genres.

Disturbed become more heavy, that's true..they are heading to real metal if I may say. Papa roach..for this one, I'll laugh..they become emo girls with make up. Infest? The best. This new record? S**t!

 

[Stenners]

Papa Roaches best album was their second, thats not saying much, but it was.

I doubt that they'll leave their nu metal roots behind that far. But then some bands do change that much. Even still the hardcore metalhead isn't going to take them seriously. They'll still call them "nu metal ****" and just write them off the same way they do Trivium.

 

[Stenners]

^^ The reasson we refer to them as nu-metal **** is that those that have changed style show they have absaloutly no creative control over their record label. As soon as Nu-Metal started to be sooooooo last year, rather then try to expand nu-metal or save it all the bands where simply switched to another genre. Papa Roach for example, massive sell outs all over them, they changed their style & music! All within a day or 2, although this may mainly be down to their label it shows these bands in the commercial clown light that they deserve to be in.
