Finn really appreciates bands like Linkin Park and Korn. He gets the most views out of nu metal videos and emo rap and just thinks it's kind of funny that out of everything that's where he gets the most views. It's just satire. And I love it

The fact that you can't tell the difference between local bar bands and label-signed nu metal bands just speaks to the genre's authenticity which is what makes it the superior genre

If Foo Fighters are the biggest dad rock band, the biggest divorced dad rock band is Staind. If you go through divorce court as a man, it is a requirement that you listen to Staind. If you aren’t wearing your Staind shirt proudly, I’m sorry to say but you aren’t actually a divorced dad.

I don’t think enough people talk about Kittie. I love them not just for their fashion, but their sound has resonated with me a lot. Their first (and only, I think) nu metal album was harsh and full of anger. Anger towards the struggles women face, from dealing with creeps to body image. That album really resonates with me. As their music career progressed, they cleaned up their sound a bit, Morgan lander’s clean vocals/ screams got even better, they dropped the rapping, etc etc, yet still produced heavy and powerful albums. I really look up to the members of Kittie, the band means a lot to me. Sorry if I kinda poured my heart out, I just really love Kittie lol

[@packnetadaija]

I just listened to a few of their songs and I love it!

[@aaryamannambiar6677]

Nu Metal is something that constantly evolves. It's a GIANT and very wide genre that basically means "Metal fused with any trending current genre", in my opinion. Modern Nu Metal to me is like Tallah, Fever 333, Tetrarch, and Falling in Reverse. These bands have all taken modern Pop music styles and production and mixed it with heavy-ass guitars, drums, bass, and vocals. Out of all the bands in this wide genre, Korn will always be my favorite and probably be the most game-changing band to me. They've experimented SO MUCH throughout their career that I can't not claim that they are the most influential Nu Metal band out their. But without a doubt, there are many, many other great bands as well, old and new.

[@Horsediqdotmpeg]

@@Luna-dh6yt I would say a major thing missed is what was happening culturally. The labels made a formula they signed bands with that gets all the credit. It was the beginning of the internet and piracy. All the fan bases of all the various types of music found each other overnight. The rave scene was massive. All those fans also loved hip hop and metal. There was a celebration of music happening and festivals to match. Hip Hop also officially became mainstream. Every city had a new radio station and local clubs connected that wasn't there before. It was the true begging of hip hop becoming pop. So nu metal wasn't just a sound. It was the merging of all the counter cultures all getting into each others music and an explosion of shows that followed. As where before you had to go to a record store and take a chance blowing $20 at a time to maybe find something new. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I could go on and on for hours. Another thing would be the music industry collapsing itself and not piracy. The piracy was free promotion that expanded audiences across the board and there was more money to be made than ever but they got extremely greedy and put all their money pushing garbage. Everyone forgets they were starting to charge $29 for CD's with two tracks you would like. I'll stop there.

It's fitting that Aaron Lewis' career went from the "soundtrack of deployed soldiers whose wives are getting fucked by Jody" to his "God bless the troops" country career.

Thanks for kicking off the week with this, Coach Finn! We shall get down with the fitness, Sports Fans!!! Ooo-ah-ah-ah! Last time I wrote down favorite nu-metal songs going from the basis of songs by bands considered to be nu-metal or metal songs with radio pop rock appeal with a rougher angsty edge ("Wish" by Alien Ant Farm), but thanks to a commenter wrote down this definition: "Must have at least 2 of these things at the same time: catchy chorus, low tuned guitars, rap or dj" And I remember you, Finn, considering "Blind" by KoRn the best nu-metal song...also, "Psychosocial" was the best Slipknot song which, I used to be a big Slipknot/Stone Sour fan basically a Corey Taylor fan as a kid memorizing every lyric, watching/reading every interview I could...I still have my signed guitar when I met him! But, fell off from Slipknot because of how dark and sacrilegious lyrics were, but I think Psychosocial might have been one where I thought the lyrics were fine having decent meaning (really liked your video on metal and vocals since vocals is my favorite instrument besides piano and violin) until it got to the "limits of the dead" chanting where I don't remember what was up with that. Alright, thanks for reading my life story. Stoked! Hope you enjoy your week!

I agree that as much as I loved their first record when it came out, it didn't age well at all. The two after that though were massive improvements, although somewhat of a departure from nu metal. Regarding the bass: Seems to be the same with all kinds of reggae. Used to work as a barkeeper on a ton of reggae & dancehall nights, and they often had like half a dozen music videos on mute running on repeat all night, always the same line-up. A $10 guitar, 4-piece-drumkit and a 5/6 string bass upwards of $2,000. The strings on those basses probably cost more than all the other instruments and the video combined.

I saw Deadsy, Orgy & Staind @ Family Values tour open for Linkin Park. What a time to be alive. Saw Kittie at a local bar too. As for Crazytown, I’d land on that strip. Seriously though Toxic & Little Blck Cloud are great tracks. Taproot was the love of my life. I rotated a Taproot hoodie & my dirtbag, long haired boyfriend’s Slipknot hoodie all throughout senior year. Day by Day is a way better example of their raw nu metal sound. I loved Flaw too. That stripper who ends her set with a Flaw song will also tell you all about her date tattoo during your lap dance.

[@JAH-iu3yh]

Almost forgot Jay Gordon of Orgy is featured on Black Cloud by Crazytown. Go take a listen!

[@monerboat]

Heard the key to gramercy park from atv offroad fury 2 on the ps2 😳

[@fail_master_z]

15:00 remember seeing them on MTV then heard the song on one of the ATV Offroad Fury games lol.

[@SlothKing92]

Static-X is the pinnacle of nu-metal. They never rode any trends or switched up. They crafted a unique sound and their music still holds up really well.

[@DPW864]

"Staind is the sound of your wife getting smashed by the neighbour" 😂😂😂

[@fatefatefate]

I love the P.O.D. wikipedia article, and how it's introduced as a "Christian nu metal band" cuz that statement makes me laugh so much, it's absolutely blasmephous theres some idiiots in the edit history that edit war'd with the saints that kept that as the opening sentence, why would you ever want to remove or change something so hilarious and grand

[@mwilkins1644]

POD are Christian tho

[@fatefatefate]

@@mwilkins1644Wow noshiit really? NEVER knew this. Their own article on there doesn't even say that or anything

[@mwilkins1644]

Ok m8 👍🏽

[@alexrock9898]

Saw Deadsy open for Korn on the Untouchables tour. Was also around the time Feildy had released a solo record and they played the fuck out of it between sets.

[@zerocool5395]

I don't care what anybody says, the 90's were the peak of human civilization. The decade where rap-rock was perfected, and where nu-metal was created. Also when people tell me im being "Racist or misogynist" i tell them "Nah dude, I'm just living in the 90's" 😂

[@wallaceshawn-zk8iw]

😂

[@andydhillon1977]

2nd half of the 80's and all of the 90's were awesome. Finished 1999 in my Sr. year of college. What a time to be young!

[@MSHNKTRL]

I think at the time I was busy burying my nose in stuff like Swans and Dead Can Dance, missing the sweet perfumed verses of Trapt or Default to grace my senses. NGL though, White Pony and Mer De Noms were still on rotation between my friends and the radio playing the above bands.

[@DeftonesDiamondEyes]

Love most of this shit, glad you played hed pe. But this was their post nu metal era with sub noize. They were signed in 1995 to jive for 6 years. Also jahred from hed pe is so damn wholesome. He will meet and talk to every single person at the show after they play. Along with trauma (the drummer). He also released an album purely of features with new bands, which allowed me to discover so many new modern bands. Also jahred is actually really old he's he's edging 60 now. Last saw them play in prague when they did a gig for free to help a guy launch his new rock bar.

[@DeftonesDiamondEyes]

At the end now. Twisted method is noooo where near the bottom of the barrel. They're fairly well known. Listen to bands like headcase, factory 81, stuckshot, mash out posse, capitol eye, charcoal tongue, design 19, 41 down, skrape, skudd, slagg, mundane, linea 77, unitytx, switched, super bob, sun bomb, suck down, sucker... And right at the bottom, im going to put... four 20 flip

[@DeftonesDiamondEyes]

@vanZombie he was best mates with the lead singer and did the tribute album with every band from soad to korn when he died.

[@DeftonesDiamondEyes]

@vanZombie i actually love their later stuff more. Their last 2 albums are my favourites. But then again i love new music.

[@needfoolthings]

​@@DeftonesDiamondEyesNuMusik?

[@brianrutledge8236]

I met Jahred at a show when Blackout first came out and he was so nice

[@UntitledNameGangIsTouringAmmos]

The most underrated Nu Metal band of all time has got to be Snot. Lemme tell you... Of all the Instruments to implement into Nu Metal I would say that the Banjo would be the most out of place. But one band was able to make it work somehow.. Its definitely forward thinking for the genre.

[@xVooDooPiMPx]

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry over the fact that I truly do love most of these bands. Primer 55, Flaw, and Twisted Method are still in my regular rotation. I think you just have to accept they're cringe, then love and embrace it for what they are. I feel seen Finn 😂

[@JAH-iu3yh]

I can’t listen to Flaw without crying.

[@Kotsoros37]

You are the REALIST Metaller Finn! Also i am a proud Dabbler after this hahahaha

[@Manic_Mitch.official]

If you play Finn at 2x speed he sounds like Ben Shapiro

[@FinnMckentyPRMBA]

I sound like that at 1x too, unfortunately

[@ghostprojectvlogs]

I love Flaw and you went in on them 😂😂

[@jasonking971]

I saw Hed PE like 2 or 3 times and they were great. Also use to love Flaw. Man this video brought back memories

[@WallaceTheRed]

I saw Motogratr play the second stage at a rock fest in Virginia Beach about 20 years ago. It was a trip.

[@Dan82W]

I saw them at ozzfest back in the day and met a few of the guys. Good times

[@samtron5000]

When I was a teenager in the late 90s and early 00s I loved nu metal. There was a box station for most genres and the rock version was nothing but nu metal. I called in and requested frequently

[@wirefall_band]

Thanks for all the great tips. We will incorporate those and become huge :D

[@T.Maximus]

I've come to the conclusion that watching your vids, is like watching a modern day Beavis and Butt-head react to videos..and im here for it.

[@andydhillon1977]

Lol So true!

[@rickyiglesias5384]

Finn, can't believe you left out "Check Ya" by From Zero. that's THE most nu-metal video I've ever seen. hahaha. I want a follow-up video where you go DEEPER (Darwin's Waiting Room, No One, Skrape, etc.)

[@alexandermoshenko4416]

"You wanna look into the mind of Taproots singer??? Are you sure about that????" 😂😂😂

[@princebloodgrave8097]

:o Jenny Jones? Are you Canadian, too? Darkside and Black Clouds are my favorite Crazy Town songs.

[@dmusiclife5727]

How much Nu Metal content can Finn make. Finn - “hold my beer/baby formula. Get that bag Finn

[@otterwithagun1982]

Finn did not just mess with my boiz from Flaw, talkin' about "do you want some more breadsticks from Olive Garden." roflmao
