Satchel's Rig Rundown, touring an AmpliFire 3

[la szum]

Metallica suck for whole other reasons than their tone. It's mostly their songwriting, sh*tty solos, basic b*tch drum beats, and assinine lyrics that even my 6 year old laughs at.

You say those things like they are objective facts and universal truths.

Of course!

I watched the Bill Maher podcast with Fred Durst earlier today

Fred Durst is Scott Stapp with tube socks and a backwards Trucker Hat. Just sayin'.

Please tell me Slipknot is not being lumped into Nu Metal here...

Downtuned guitars- Check!
DJ in the band scratching in the songs- Check!
Rapping vocals (all over the first album or two)- Check!

While they’ve grown away from the more cliched trappings of nu-metal, like all the OG’s of nu-metal have at this point, those first two albums were as nu-metal as nu-metal got, man!

Can I like Slipknot but think that "Clown" and Sid are completely unnecessary?

You got me on that one

I would be down with a Nu Metal version of Steel Panther. Now that would be a riot!

Why wouldn‘t they? They‘re a freakin‘ Nu Metal band.

Sid’s at least there to break his legs, feet, ankles, arms, hands, etc at a live show completely out of the blue!

But yeah, I can go without the keg-banging and not miss it at all. Though everyone in that band says Clown is the ringleader and none of it would have happen or would continue happening without him, that band is his baby.

You could do a LOT with the Nu tropes in a comedy context while still Much narrower lane for the comedy to come through though.

It's hard to lampoon the genre when Limp Bizkit is still basically doing in unintentionally

Are we still talking about Weiland?

He would have been a great nu metal singer

I don't know.

There are bands that emerged during the same period as the prime of Hair Metal
that I don't consider Hair Metal, even if they played guitars with Floyds into Marshall
style amps, and had long hair.

When the tribute has to be of an entire genre to throw together 3 hours of music...

Yup. A gag with a short shelf life that goes nowhere. Great comedians have to have new material, just
like a musician or artist. Can't hammer the same tired tropes over and over again and expect people to
not be critical of that.

I saw Jerry Seinfeld at a local venue twice over the span of about four years. The second time, he literally repeated the exact material from the first performance. My wife and I left about 30 minutes in. What a disappointment.
