So, the title says it all. I made this so the ones here that like nu metal can discuss about the bands we like. So about me, I like:

Godsmack (Although for me it's Alternative), because their songs are really cool, and they have great lyrics and the "Changes" DVD is simply awesome, and theitr drums are great. Sully's voice is quite unique, and their lyrics are pretty nice.

Slipknot, because of their energy, the outfits look great, and their lyrics make me laugh, besides their live shows are quite impressive. Also Vol. 3 is a change, IMO they found that they don't have to scream for everything, and they prove it with a great accoustic song.

Disturbed: David's voice is great. and with their thrid album,. 10.000 fists" they try a new, more melodic sound. besides Dan Donegan proves himself as a great guitar player

KoRn: But only the first albums.

Evanescence, because Amy lee has a great voice, but their last album, "The Open Door" was a big letdown for me.

Also Adema, TrustCompany, Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park, Chevelle, Mudvayne, Soil and I enjoy Metallica's St. Anger.

So that's it. If you have band suggestions you can and must post them as well. If you don't like Nu metal, please don't post bashing bands and attacking with things like "X band sucks" or "Nu metal sucks". Please, let's have some respect for the other fellow MSers taste.

Speaking of Disturbed, about a week ago, I've heard their newest single. It's mindblowing!

I guess if you find basic, overplayed riffs and the fast-spoken vocals mindblowing, then yes. But the real Disturbed will always be better, IMO. The mainstream Disturbed is sort of a joke. I've seen all sorts of undeserved praise directed towards them.

Why mentioning them? They're gothic rock, with some metal elements, but not enough to be gothic metal. Pretty simple.
This is the first time I've ever heard someone mentioning them with nu metal, only possible if one is equaling nu-metal with mainstream, in that case, Lady Gaga would be nu metal too.


Like I said, I don't think they're nu-metal. I have often seen them grouped into the genre, however, which is why I felt the need to mention them. Same with SOAD.

You know what they say about opinions, right? Besides, each to his own. This song is awesome to me.

I respect that. I just don't get what's so great about them, myself. I don't care much if you like them or not.

Hmmm.. I dont mind Disturbed but i would group them in Rock insted of metal. They are a decent band though. But as far as Numetal goes I would have to say Mudvayne, Slipknot, and as of recently Drowning Pool. For me Slipknot was the gateway to the metal world. Iowa was the heavist album i had heard at that time. It left me craving more metal, so i went out and found more and the rest is history LOL. Mudvayne was a band that I just liked from the get go. Drowning pool i liked there first album alot but when thier lead singer died I stopped listening but 2 years ago I heard the song Soilders and now I'm hooked again.

Sinner is one of my best albums ever, and I have great respect for DW.
The rest of their discography is utter shit, they just shifted to the classic pop-rock, the first album was pretty dark and edgy.

Drowning Pool has never been dark or edgy. I'm surprised that "Bodies" is so popular.

I was expecting something like that from you.

This might surprise you, but there actually ARE more songs on that album! (yes! the album's name is Sinner, not Bodies)

Of course, only thrash and death metals are allowed to be 'dark and edgy', right? Not meaning to offend you or anything, but I think you're a music snob. That's the impression I got of you lately.

Check the things like Tear Away, Sermon and Pity. While they don't have blast beats and growls and shredding riffs, the atmosphere is dark on almost entire album.

"Tear Away" is not anything too impressive. That chugging riff and I despise that "melodic" backup guitar work. That and the "I don't care about anyone" lyrics are laughable. Typical nu metal voice here, I don't like it.

"Pity" is actually a bit decent, but the voice and those bad "breakdown" riffs... eh...

"Sermon" isn't bad, actually...

But really, I just don't like the genre as a whole, except possibly, Mushroomhead. It just seems generic to me. I tend to focus more on listening to the instrumentals than the lyrics.

Lol, "Die MF Die" is what they're best known for. XD I actually like "No Warning Shot" by Six Feet Under better (has the same lyric).

It actually isn't a bad song (Die MF Die), but it got repetitive for me after about five listens. =|

Nu metal fan or not you should not miss the violent and pissed off sound of Nothingface. So if some you haven't listened to them yet, do it now, they're pretty badass in their behavior and musical talent.

Duuude. I seriously recommendo you to give a proper listen to them. o/

Especially Pacifier and An Audio Guide For Everyday Atrocity. Essentially they do not differ much from other Alternative Rock bands, but I really like their vocalist, and the structure of most of their songs go beyond the simple ''verse, chorus , verse, chorus, bridge, chorus'' process, which helps a lot among the whole enjoying process

I'd say karnivool. They merge prog with nu metal, and its damn good. Also, deftones, except their new album, which kind of sucks. Somedays I like korn, other days i cant stand them, depends what mood im in.

Mushroomhead was first. That's a fact. The main differance, however is consistancy, or lack thereof. Mushroomhead has some brilliant work (like XX) and some completely shitty stuff (like Savior Sorrow). Slipknot on the other hand started out in mediocrity and made a steady decline into mainsteam worthlesness.
