citation :MenstrualBubbles dit : I was taught nu-metal was a form of music that had hiphop influences in the music (Korn, Rage Against The Machine, P.O.D., Primer 55, Linkin Park, Crazytown), because if you listen to a song of theirs closely, as they sing, they sing like a rapper does it, only theres guitars and drumming in the background and possibly a keyboard as well.
I myself listened to some "nu-metal" back in the day, most of it is crap, but just a few of them are ok in my opinion. |
Yes most people have heard, listened to and or owned a record of
Korn, RATM (or any of those nu-bands) at one time of their long and skillful metal experience.
Actually, the funny thing is that most people that I know into metal and under 20 or around this age have started listening to such or Marylin Manson or Slipknot.
Now most of them don't own much more than 10 cds but since they downloaded a shitload of UG albums from blogspots, they feel entitled to be some anti-posers superstars and high priest and defenders of the metal
Faith while obviously dissing the
Linkin Park or
Korn they were listening some 1,2 or 3 years ago.
That's called Oedipus Sindrome.
(Who nowadays gets into metal while discovering Iron Maiden or Accept? I guess not that many people.)
And to stick to the subject, I own the first RATM, most FNM and the two first
Korn and the whole
Tool discography and I can honestly say those are good if not great records. They may have turned to shit but that stuff they did in their early days is worth mentioning. And in case you were wondering, I'm a die-hard DM fan which I have been listening for more than 20 years now so I have a good understanding of who is a poser and who's not.
See ya.
