The LOL At Nu-Metal thread

[Gary]

Up until now, I thought Methods of Mayhem was the only contribution anyone from Motley Crue had to Nu Metal.

Anyways, here's some more bullshit

The first two-even as a dumb teenager, I thought these were fucking awful. The third one I actually liked back in the day, and the fourth so unapologetically steals a riff from "Freak in a Leash" it's amusing.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

I still fucking love that Guano Apes song.

 

[Fall of Epic]

I actually don't mind Guano Apes but yeah, they (like everyone else) went through an awful nu-metal phase in the early 2000s.

Who exactly was this trying to appeal to? Long forgotten fans of Body Count?

I can't believe I neglected to post about this earlier. Anyone remember the one album where LYNYRD SKYNYRD tried to sound more modern? It was as awful as you can expect.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I don't see how that song sounds much different than what you'd think '00 Lynyrd Skynyrd would sound like and it doesn't sound nu-metal at all.

I hate how Skynyrd has become the Official Band of the Tea Party (at least, #2 behind Nugent) in the past ten years. Especially since they were actually a fairly (albeit subtly) liberal band in their band.

 

[Ed Wood Caulfield]

That was the theme song for WWE Breaking Point!

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

I remember hearing this! My first thought was, did some other band start using the Lynyrd Skynyrd name?

I completely forgot about the hip hop remix of "Rollin" until someone brought it up at the WrestleMania Party I was at.

 

[Gary]

Were you looking forward to a Nu Metal tribute album? Then here you go.

Also, Coal Chamber are back together.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Coal Chamber? My inner 17 year old just busted a nut.

Hah. This club I do monthly shows at has us plug other events coming there sometimes between comics and last week, I plugged a Powerman 5000/Hed PE show happening this weekend. I was like "Who the eff is seeing these bands in 2014!?"

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

Both have new albums out this year. I don't listen to Hed, but I still really like PM5K. I love their new album.

I was just about to post that I wouldn't mind seeing Powerman.

 

[FroGG_NeaL]

They had an awesome song on Tony Hawk Pro-skater 2.

Did someone say "Tea Party?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSQ3U7UAsW0

Yes, a band older than QOTSA trying to rip off QOTSA.

 

[Red Baron]

Really?

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Aye. I've been able to find something worthwhile in each of their releases, even the really early rap/rock stuff from before that style was popular. "Free" is a pretty damn underrated song, and Spider is a really good frontman (better than his brother at this point, anyway).

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

I one of the few (only?) people who likes Destroy What You Enjoy. It's more of a punk influenced album, and I really, really like it.

I remember blind buying their first album when it first came out because I had heard that Rob Zombie's brother had a band, and I really liked Zombie (and still do), and I enjoyed the album. I agree that right now Spider is putting out better stuff than Rob.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

In early Summer of 1999 when I was fresh out of high school, I remember my local comic book store giving away free PM5K promo cassettes with "When Worlds Collide" on side A and a demo version of "Son of X-51" on side B. I really enjoyed it.

Hearing Corey Taylor on Talk is Jericho made me relive some Slipknot. This is probably their best song:

And I did listen to their new album. It's pretty bad but I don't know what else I would have expected from them at this point.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

There's something about Corey Taylor that rubs me the wrong way. I can't put my finger on it. Slipknot is decent enough and the first Stone Sour album was enjoyable but he bugs me for some reason.

Nah, Surfacing is the best.

FUCK IT ALL, FUCK THIS WORLD, FUCK EVERYTHING THAT YOU STAND FOR
DON'T BELONG, DON'T EXIST, DON'T GIVE A SHIT

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

The only Slipknot songs I can listen to now that I'm not 13 and actually listen to real metal are "(sic)," "Spit It Out," "My Plague" (but only the album version, not the poppier single), and "Psychosocial" (which ripped off a great Metallica riff and made it work just fine).

There's something about Corey Taylor that rubs me the wrong way. I can't put my finger on it. Slipknot is decent enough and the first Stone Sour album was enjoyable but he bugs me for some reason.

Because he's a pompous dickhead that had his ass verbally eviscerated by Dave Brockie and then decided to suck up to him posthumously is why I can't stand him. Shitty part is I like his voice quite a bit.

There's rumors that Acid Bath may do a few reunion shows and Corey Taylor may be fronting them because he's such a big fan and Dax Riggs was an inspiration. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck that noise.

 

[Fall of Epic]

Remember that really dumb feud between Slipknot and Limp Bizkit? That was actually the first time I ever heard about Slipknot. Corey Taylor (in costume) was being interviewed on MTV and pretty much said "fuck Fred Durst, if I ever see you, I'll punch you out!".

Fourteen year old me couldn't believe someone in the metal world hated my beloved Fred! I thought to myself "sick costume, bro. i need to check these guys out.".

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

I remember thinking "these guys are all fags" and listening to Nile instead soon after.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Slipknot songs I can still tolerate:

(sic)
Wait and Bleed - first song of their's that I ever heard, so nostalgia I suppose
Spit it Out
Left Behind
Vermillion
My Plague
Before I Forget
Psychosocial

I enjoyed the hell out of "Bother" when Stone Sour became a thing in 2002.

Wayne Static is dead at 48.

Wayne Static was in his early to mid thirties when Static X was in their primes!?

 

[Red Baron]

That sucks. I remember listening to Wisconsin Death Trip a lot in 03. I should listen to it again.
