[@Skeware]

I feel the same about Slipknot. I Know and understand the history and why there's indeed a nu-metal component in their music early on especially on 1999 self tittled, but still will always keep saying that Slipknot isn't Nu-metal, because to me they are much more, just like FNM, they can't be contained by one genre. I mean, I am ok if someone puts these bands on nu-metal playlists because that does makes sense for listeners, but they can equally be placed on playlists other metal genres. Nu-metal can be a part of their sound, but definitely not their core. Well, that's my opinion anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@beamertoy]

All things aside I think Munky did an incredible job in music writing for Remember Who You Are. I didn’t much like the change in drum style and quality, but the melody and the vocals were there and carried the tone and feel of that album. The band has always had a way of painting a picture and I think that’s what’s important. Never thought I’d get into their newer songs but now I love them just as much as their older albums. Well almost as much lol. JD has never failed to deliver a song I would grow into loving 🖤

I think people really underestimate the "metalness" of nu metal (particularly, places like the Metal Archives). Sure, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit and Incubus are barely metal, but Korn, Slipknot and Disturbed are easily as metal as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden or Metallica. Much like glam metal, how metal nu metal is depends on the band.

[@PapaSmurf11182nd]

Korn, Slipknot I do agree. Disturbed less so. You’re overall point is solid.

[@PapaSmurf11182nd]

@@NeoKokoro20 Metal is a pretty wide spectrum in my opinion. The single biggest factor is the number of riffs in a song. I can think of multiple nu metal bands that have quite a few songs that fall under this category with the riffs. To your second point about glam/hair bands, I can’t speak to that as much. There are some bands that are more riff oriented than others. And that fixation on the riffs and number of riffs can make some glam/hair bands more metal than others

[@NeoKokoro20]

@@PapaSmurf11182nd Yeah, this why I don't like the Metal Archive's elitist attitude. They don't consider Slipknot metal, yet they consider Rush metal, which is just hilarious. Slipknot is way more metal than Rush ever was, even at their heaviest. And there's one artist there named Ella, who is barely even rock, let alone metal. But she gets accepted because she has a mere one metal album, out of the dozens of albums she released. In other words, there's a lot of inconsistencies and bias there when it comes to what's metal and what's not.

[@archer7716]

​@@NeoKokoro20just because something is heavy doesn't mean it's metal, but Rush was added as an exception, which they've stopped doing.

I still trip out about Korn. In '93 I lived in Huntington Beach, Ca and worked in Irvine. My car was broken so the receptionist sometimes drove my roommate and I home. One day I saw an all blank black tape except the word Korn on it and asked her wtf a Korn was. She said her son's godfather was the lead singer for that band. I had her play it and one song out four or five on the tape and even though I was into Jane's Addiction/RHCP/etc at the time, one song jumped out to me. Turned out to be Blind. We partied at their house a couple miles away, later, and even though they all looked weird as hell to me (the only one that looked like a regular guy was the drummer), they were cool and it was fun just hanging out and playing pool at their pad all night. Turned out that her son's godfather (it was )Jonathan wasn't there but his hot as sh*t girlfriend was so we could've cared less. Almost the same thing happened at that time with a completely different music type band in Long Beach with another name that I thought was stupid as hell ....Sublime. Oh, Dave Abbott (Tank) was my roommates best friend from high school and also Tito Ortiz, who was just a skinny high school kid then, used to come by and drink beers after school. Sh*t, I look back and think how the hell did I hang out with all these different people that ended up being famous as hell. Lucky I guess. What the hell happened to me.....just a normal life.

When you just not that many people must be into a genre and then you hear that first story... Don McLean tried to warn us.

Good luck with that

As an old person, I agree. 100%. The young people are getting dumber and dumber and the world just keeps getting worse. I would be so elated if the sun had a coronal ejection that led to an EMP engulfing its inner satellites. Bye bye forever, tech! Welcome back, things having value and humans having dignity!
