Therapy? Are y'all talking about a band or the reason we're here?

we're

weird that in the original run of Nu Metal, we couldn’t really pull it off as good as the Americans. Were too introverted, cynical and afraid of drawing attention to ourselves which is like, anti-Fred Durst.

Seem to be faring better on this resurgence for whatever reason

Are you saying that Brits aren't extroverted? (Dumbly assumes you're British...if so where? I have an old friend named Simon, from Barnsley.)

My time in the service begs to differ, y'all bonkers.....hahahaha

I am, although based off anyone I’ve met in our military I probably wouldn’t assume that they’re an accurate cross section of our society

There’s a certain kind of “college bro” associated with nu metal that we just can’t pull off. We have our own kind of garish lout that we excel at - Oasis are a fine example.

I was not a fan of Nu Metal. But I LOVED Korn. Everything up through Issues.

I liked Wes Borland, but I hated Fred Durst so much I couldn’t listen to much LB.

I did go to the very first Family Values tour with Korn, LB, Orgy, Rammstein, and Ice Cube. Good times. Rammstein’s live show blew my mind

I will be diplomatic and just say that within all these groups, are imposters and that we are all more alike than we realize.

As an American whom kind of had to apologize for America a lot, while overseas... sometimes I think people everywhere fail to see nuance and over generalize, all over the world.

All of the statements could be viewed as true, but I would also say that is what some want to be true. Not representative of the truth.

I've met the type of people that you're referring to everywhere, from all cultures.

Most nu metal people aren't college bro at all ...quite the opposite. Also, having met and played on more than one British Military vessel....had nothing but the best time, with amazing people. Germans party harder though, sorry.

The one thing that binds us all ...music. And I'd rather unite, than divide....we can all be Nu Metal...fuckit.... guess what... Therapy? Is now nu metal....there....hahahaha.

Just trying to add a positive perspective... whatever that means.

Much love y'all

Oh, I don't disagree - sweeping generalisations are never accurate. I just mean, at the time our best bands in that kind of style were watered down versions of what the US was sending over here. A, One Minute Silence, Hundred Reasons were like our equivalents and even though they were cool in their own right, none of them quite hit like Limp Bizkit/Korn/Linkin Park

It's cool...I understand..not familiar with those bands ..but now I will check them out.

Keep it on 11!

 

[Whizzinby]

I don’t consider 311 or RATM nu-metal. 311 stylistically and RATM because they predate what I consider the era of nu-metal. (Though they were deeply influential to the bands what would become that genre)

 

[HomespunEffects]

Im not a huge classification nut. Just surprised, wildly, by your classification...no biggy.

They are different, for sure ... I would have a hard time calling them metal at all ....but they came out internationally in the early 90s, like contemporary with popular faith no more.

Nu metal, in my dumb un important opinion...nope.

But. I'm just happy that there are people still talking about them. Because they are awesome, and important.

Thank you.

Was anyone actually using the term “nu metal” back then or is it retcon?

 

[DrewJD82]

I guess Faith No More is another.

 

[deathbyguitar]

Nu-metal is what convinced me that everything other than a PRS into a Dual Rectifier is incorrect. Same goes for Warwick bases.

Pretty sure the bands in the day let their 14-year-old cousins handle lyric writing, though. "I'm falling/bleeding/drowning - I'm in so much pain - More than I can explain - I'll never be the same - I'm breaking I'm breaking down I'm breaking down I'm breaking down I'm breaking down I'm brea...."

(Insert gunshot sound)

Have you met our @Orvillain yet!?!?!?

 

[deathbyguitar]

My ultimate goal in life is to create something that's like kinda nu-metal (well really more alt-metal) crossed with prog, something like Helmet meets Porcupine Tree. Well...more like finish the album that's been in the works since "Weapons of Mass Destruction" was a thing.

Also I miss cargo khakis.

Not formally, but have seen their comments from time to time ... May have like a few.

Magazines and ads ....not anyone I knew ....oddly enough, we called Deftones new West Coast Hardcore....and metal wasn't what it was, or is now ....and to be honest, by the time it was coined, I didn't listen to any new material. A lot of those bands, first album was all you needed.

 

[FuzzyAce]

oh yeah, forgot about that!
This has been discussed here before.

Yeah, Deftones initially were considered a hardcore band in my circles, and they toured with bands like Bad Brains, Orange 9mm etc.

It wasn’t until their second album, Around The Fur, when they drifted into more metal crowds.

Its awesome to see how their style and music progressed over time, and how they ended up gaining so much respect from such a wide group of people and fanbases.

Love both those bands ...the Quickness is an underrated album....Orange 9mm was badass too ...before that one album ...
Also. I just remembered quicksand....man they were great ....
