The LOL At Nu-Metal thread

[Gary]

Also, the Nu Metal Madness Tour is coming to my state on July 22nd. The venue seem to mostly get tribute bands, but hey, Saliva will be performing on Sept 9th, Saving Abel on Oc 8th, Puddle of Mudd Nov 8th, Tantric on Oct 9th and Michael Winslow and Jimy JJ Walker Dec Dec 9th (I'd go to that). It's actually better than what my town gets (nothing)

In not Nu Metal news, Venom Inc on Nov 4th, which I'd see because Eyehategod and Ringworm are opening.

Slipknot's still around and dropping new songs in lieu of their latest album coming out in September!

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

That was surprisingly not awful. The new masks are different and will take some getting used to.

AI rapper FN Meka was… created by E.Town Concrete vocalist

As you may have heard, one of this week's biggest and weirdest stories in the music world is that Capitol Records has signed an AI rapper, and it turns out that rapper was co-created by none other than the frontman of E.Town Concrete...

@Fall of Epic

 

[Epic for the Summer]

I saw Korn live at the Garden the summer before this show aired and they played One which blew my mind at the time. Totally wasn't shocked at this performance.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

It was also a great cover that stuck super close to the original while being blatantly Korn.

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

I saw Korn live at the Garden the summer before this show aired and they played One which blew my mind at the time. Totally wasn't shocked at this performance.

Was that the show with Deadsy and Puddle of Mudd opening? If it was, I was at that show, and remember them playing One. It was great.

 

[Epic for the Summer]

It was indeed.

Nu-metal: not just for dudes!

 

[Epic for the Summer]

I was SUPER into Kittie in the early 2000s partly because a girl I had a huge crush on the time was obsessed with them. She was also the only girl in my school that I knew liked metal. Nothing happened between us and I fell off Kittie for awhile but I did a deep dive on their later material ("Until the Ends" and on) a few years and they actually sort of improved as a group. That documentary that came out a few years ago on them was a pretty good watch as well. A group of teen female Canadians hitting the metal scene hit just at the right time in 2000.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Looking Kittie up this weekend was weirdly timely. They reunited this weekend for the When We Were Young Festival. Which seems odd since they seem like a weird fit for a mostly emo/pop punk festival but I guess the festival needed some more females and emo/pop punk is almost as much of a sausagefest than nu metal (Paramore aside)

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Kittie turned into an alright band around Until the End, but holy shit the one singing always had an awful voice.

Shifty’s got to be in his fifties now. He needs to chill out. And not hire coke dealing drummers apparently.

 

[Epic for the Summer]

Fun fact: Crazy Town's original drummer got his start as a live drummer for the Beastie Boys.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

He was also the drummer for Chuck Mangione’s “Feels So Good”. Cannot be too much other overlap between the smooth jazz scene and the nu-metal scene.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Like most of nu metal, blame it on Korn. David Silveria was a jazz drummer, and this revelation, much like the guitarists using 7-strings, led to a lot of imitators.
