DARN THE YOUTUBE BLOCKING AT WORK!
what is that?
Trust Company- 'Downfall'
T-une
I was all about Taproot - Again & Again
Fuck yes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo64Fz6Dtnw
The best bit of that song
is when you're in a club and you go
"When IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII was in controoool"
great tunes!
"SUUUUUUIIIIIIIICK
and angered
by my FRIENDS extremely cold and
HEARTLESS talking shit behind my back about me"
as soon as i saw this thread
i thought 'taproot'
i djed the other night
i played disturbed, limp bizkit and papa roach. everyone was loving it. i can smell the revival.
3 of the worst nu-metal bands though!
trufindat!
God, I hope
a Nu-metal revival is on the cards.
Music needs a bit of pump up dudes with stupid facial hair rapping over some stock metal riffs.......
.........serious.
He is serious as well
100%
+ even better the 'exotic' nu metal bands
who experimented with masks (slipknot, mushroomhead) and comedy makeup (mUdVaYnE)
Or properly exotic
Like Ill Nino
Who was that mexican crew?
I think they may have been non- nu-metal though.
they were nu-metal alright.
And - if i'm not mistaken - have just released their fourth or fifth album. Perseverance, eh?
They're gonna be front of the queue
when the revival starts!
it's called 'enigma' too
like there's a great mystery about what it'll sound like
Hi, my name is Alistair and i have a problem:
i own 6 Sevendust albums, 3 One Minute Silence albums, 3 Slipknot albums, 3 Orgy albums, 1 Limp Bizkit album, 2 Mudvayne albums, 1 Union Underground album and 2 Cyclefly albums.
by 'a problem'
do you mean 'the best music collection of all time'?
and the problem is:
you only have one limp bizkit album, and no KoRn albums?
i have 6 Korn ones, mate-o
i own
3 slipknot albums, 1 papa roach album, 2 linkin park albums,
(meds you win.but seriously 2 mudvayne albums?!fucking 2?!)
L.D.50 is mint.
And technically i have 3, i just didn't buy the 3rd one :p
Shut it, Papa Roach fan...
sigh
I own 6 Korn albums, 2 Limp Bizkit albums, 3 Slipknot albums, 2 Staind albums, 5 Sevendust albums, 3 Mudvayne albums, 3 Taproot albums, 3 Cold albums, 4 Hedpe albums, and records by Linkin Park, Orgy, Ultraspank, American Head Charge and all manner of British derivatives. I think i 'win'.
and that's all without looking into what Roadrunner Records have offered my collection
RULES
No (more) mentioning of:
Limp Bizkit
Linkin Park
Papa Roach
Slipknot
Disturbed
Korn
Stuff that I'm more likely to have forgotten about/repressed/never heard in the first place plz
In that case
can I give a shout out to Hed PE - Bartender??
"Hey bartender hit me with a double and introduce me to that girl in the bubble"
TUNE
^ and 2 of their albums are in my collection too
have you got
the one with 'Serpent Boy' on? I did have it but it's dissapeared into the ether.
What a tune that is as well.
"Ain't seen you round much lately"
yeah, S/T is a solid album
"take a look around, you forgot what you came here for..." etc.
:D
BEST THREAD EVER
I saw that
on your shelf the other week.
I'm looking for trouble to night, no mumma don't trust me tonight
:D so so so much!!!
YES! YES! YES!
Oh man, I'm getting that on the download tonight!!
Thier 1st album
is awesome.
i own 6 Korn albums too, heh.
I did just donate the following to charity shops though:
Dry Kill Logic
Systematic
40 Below Summer
downthesun
Ultraspank
Fuck, you had it bad
My ventures into nu-metal were few and far between and short lived. I was too much of a punk-pop kid
prior to that, donations included
Ill Nino
Thumb
Defenstration
Adema
Soil
Skindred
Coal Chamber
My collection was a plethora of nu-metal. I entirely avoided the pop-punk movement though, and i did still like some good music
I was pretty much like that
Pop-punk was just a bit too washed out for me.....I had some innner anger, obv.....
Adema: worst band of the last ten years.
yes. yes they are.
^ This
pop punk thread anyone?
Go for it!
I'll hold off
until I've stopped jizzing over this thread!
The repent!!!
and get your self an education in sic-ness!!!
(God.....did i say that? Fuck it, it feels great....)
i think you should feel you've done your bit for the less fortunate
this is proper brilliant
http://www.last.fm/music/Number+One+Son
"In the following years they released a new album ‘Lessons’ which despite also being critically acclaimed, never recieved the attention of its predicessor. What became of the band afterwards is unknown although it is safe to assume that they split up."
can you say "impressive career in telesales"?
also
i'm disappointed not to make the 'cut' in the thread name. is that because i gave all my nu metal albums to sarky? :(
Sorry!
I've only ever had nu-metal discussions with shucks and pieces. You'll be duly noted for future use!
i used to have a userpicture
on here of my holding a one minute silence album and everything!
Nice
I REALLY need to find my copy of the Trust Company album.
To be guntrip-centric then, have you read the leaked World War Z script? I can't find it anywhere but the screenplay writer (fucked if I can spell his name) is apparently wigging out on the IMDB board
FINE
No guntrip-centric posts EVER
sorry!
i can't get on DiS between 10 and 12. i haven't read it, no. i would imagine JMS would be a bit angry, he's always been the type ;)
More Trust Company. Woo!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e78wjwb-tn0
Is 'roots' by sepultura a nu metal album?
i fooking love it!
no, but Soulfly albums count.
...you can have the two of mine if you like :p
Woah.....
Is that an offer??
Ill take em!!
i'll hunt 'em out.
they may have been ditched at my folks' house. First two albums
Nice!
I never owned the Soulfly albums, but I bloody loved the self titled one...
(dont kill me i love them)
but werent deftones considered nu metal at one point?
Adrenaline, aye
You
could class Around the Fur in nu-metal too.
They shook the tab off with White Pony. But they still released that God awful 'Mini Maggot' track......
Oh God....that video is awful.
KEEP THE SABBATH DREAM ALIVE!
http://www.myspace.com/theworkhorsemovement
i saw them live
they actually ruled
:D ace.
THE KENNEDY SOUNDTRACK
LOLZ
i saw them at esquires
with miocene :D
i saw 'em with Miocene
and Pitchshifter.
Bless.
mwahahahahaha!
What happened to miocene? I seem to remember them being the best out of a bad bunch.
they released an
album that flopped. I only had the EP.
not quite
they spent like four years working on this album and it was actually really good - like a metal version of 65daysofstatic. apparently they spent like £12000 recording it or something.
they finally released it, had their first bunch of live dates in three/four years lined up, and then the bassist quit. they spent a year looking for a replacement, couldn't find anyone suitable, so split up. kindof a shame, really.
i threw a twix at them
i missed
oh god now
fucking worst band of all time
now?
surely i meant no?
My favourite bit of nu metal
is in the middle of 'Voices' by Disturbed where 'Mad' Davey Draiman whispers into the mic:
"They never loved you anyway"
Brilliant. What a genius. I think he then electrocuted himself in a chair.
this turned up in my flyposter pile this morning

lulz
Spineshank
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ1ruRlUz_k
^ i made them
some really corny drawings and gave them to the singer at a signing session. Criiiiiiiiiiiiiinge.
Absolute
MEGALOLZ
What were these drawings of?
and what was his reaction?
it was pictures of
Spineshank's faces but their bodies were those of the female anatomy.
He giggled and gave a look of "dude, you suck. But i'm aware that my band sucks more"
errr...!?!
he thought his own band sucked though.. these nu-metal bands have such esteem problems..
That isn't 'New Disease' though!
I never really liked Spineshank. I need a pop-punk thread to really excel
Now?
Should we save it??
POP PUNK THREAD
Is here
http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/3176213
damn was beaten to this video
but I will agree on the pop-punk having seen all the american rejects 5 times live.
All these replys
and no love for System of a Down?!
Suger was an absolute TUNE.
ohhhhhh shit yeah
haha s/t FTW!!!
does he use the word "kambucha" or something like that?
"the kambucha mushroom people sitting around all day!" is it?
^ wrong
it was all about playing the intro to Chop Suey over and over and over again.
i bought the S/T album
on the grounds of the Kerrap! review it got - that was a tremendous day. Not Toxicity release day so much, though.
THE UNION UNDERGROUND
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtgY3aho_wk
"Turn me on, turn me on, Mr. Deadman, YEAH!"
American Head Charge, anyone?
that debut is a beast
YES YES YESYES YES YES YES
and a lot more yes'.
AHC were absolutly brutal......
I saw them live with A Vacant Stare, both bands were umbelivable awesome.
Never get caught was a dirty, dirty song.
Holy shit!
The Union Underground!
I'm pretty sure that both nu-metal and WWF Wrestling were at their best when they co-existed like they did in the late 90's/early naughties.
totes.
If you add in 'playing Warhammer 40K, whilst listening to 36 Crazyfists and watching WCW on Channel 5' into that equation, you've pretty much got the best thing ever.
Warhammer 40K ftw.
Dark Angels rule all.<
