@@dabrazzykidskywalkersoulfly was a mix of nu metal tribal and groove for a few albums then started shifting more towards thrash/groove/death metal like sepultura was before max left. Check out calvalera conspiracy max other band.
There's something to be said about why nu-metal groove riffs work so well. They feel so right for some reason and you can really get into a song because of it.
Honestly a lot of taproot is undercredited. Went to blue ridge 2023 and I stayed at the same hotel with them and drank/smoked with the band and heard stories. All amazing dudes
I just can't hear that shitty snare sound they bring with "Untouchables". There's a lot of good songs that got ruined by that horrible snare. The entire drum kit sucks, tbh
Wes Borland underrepresented. Definitely the Nu Metal riff god. And that flat black Strat is sick! I can't stand Strats unless they have a very flat radius. That one looks pretty thin.
@@righty-o3585 i know people that are better at guitar than i am who think its a one note riff. its more of a 2.5 note riff because of the low string hammer on. wes is brilliant. who the hell else writes a 2.5 note riff that's THAT heavy?
@@stopit2964 also, from what I heard. Borland wasn't a huge fan of the music that they were putting out, which is why he started wearing the makeup. To hide his face. But he's not stupid and understood the success and the amount of money they could bring in, so he kinda just dealt with it, because that was the break he would probably never find again if he left the band. I'm not sure how true that is, but it does make sense. Because his projects that he started since then were NOTHING like Bizkit at all. Like not even remotely close.
There are 10 nu metal riffs I like in this video :D Freak On A Leash-Korn One Step Closer-Linkin Park My Own Summer-Deftones Down With The Sickness-Disturbed Bring Me To Life-Evanescence Break Stuff-Limp Bizkit Last Resort-Papa Roach Bodies-Drowning Pool Points Of Authority-Linkin Park Boom-P.O.D.
that Soulfy album that came out in the late 90's was fucking amazing, I think it was the selftitled, but i loved the fuck out of it...The only 4 albums i listened that year was Soulfly-Soulfly, Deftones-Around the fur, 311-Transistor and Snot-GetSome.
I was expecting (sic) by slipknot after Down with the sickness. It blends quite well. Great video! I get my dose of Nu-Metal daily. It was an unforgettable era that defined my childhood and my gateway to other metal genre. Don't care what the gate keepers and critics say, Nu-metal was groundbreaking!
PREACH!! Same for many of us! Nu metal will always be special, cause it opened the horizons into heavier metal for so many of us!!, and the cycle is repeating itself, 20 YEARS LATER!! with the new generation of kids coming up, that love nu metal! 🤟🏽🤟🏽
Agree. Bands associated with the genre had arguably the largest view among other metal sub genre in YT. Like it or not, casual music listeners can get at least touch the surface of metal music thru Nu Metal.
Some great classic riffs in there 🤘🏻. I think I'd draw the line at classing Sepultura as nu-metal though. I know they started using simple downtuned riffs but they've been around since the early 80s. I'd just call their stuff since Roots tribal metal.
Except nu metal can be tribal metal too and visa versa, nu metal just means "New Wave Metal" that's different, raw, edgy and downtuned for the era, basically an evolution of pushing the envelope for the genre. Great example: listen to Pleymo - New Wave, it's a French Nu Metal song basically, an French Limp Bizkit and they came out around the same era as Limp Bizkit and it's all in French
Why the “(maybe)” a lot of these songs are absolute classics! People just love to hate. Bands like Korn, Deftones, Sepultura, Linkin Park etc are legendary.
@@carloselgod33They do have DJ Lethal on turntables for the song look away though. Roots specifically was considered nu metal because it took a lot of influence from Korn and the sound was something very new and unique at the time.
First time I every seen somebody categorize them as nu metal at all. I've always considered them thrash-death. But meh... I'm not one of those guys who get all butt hurt and debate online
@@BackwardzCap Man, Sepultura and Roots aren't Nu Metal, it's jus' influenced by, Nu Metal at all is Soulfly (they first 3 albums), idk why the people think Sepultura's Roots it's Nu Metal.
I'm a huge Deftones fan and I always get a little irritated when they get lumped in with nu-metal bands, because they've evolved into something far beyond what the other bands did. But then I saw you pull out the Stephen Carpenter 7 string so you definitely know what's up! Good video man
Damn. Not my childhood, but my early adulthood, and got to see nearly all those bands and make great memories at those shows, from what i can remember...
Huge Deftones fan and hate that they get lumped into the Nu Metal genre. I graduated high school in 2001 so these riffs brought back a lot of good memories. Riding around blazing green and blasting Taproot, Reveille, Hed PE, Static X, Coal Chamber, Primer 55, Nonpoint, Darwins Waiting Room, Ill Nino, Orgy, etc. Almost every weekend one of these bands would come through Columbus and you could see a show for less than $20. I can’t even go to Taco Bell for that much now
"My own summer " is one of the most iconic riffs ever
ehhhhhh not even close
@@UA-camAccountManonly clicked on this vid to see if it was mentioned
@@UA-camAccountManit literally is
@@FVC37ESSfr lmao
Absolutely iconic...iam sure iam one of many that hear a crowd start too roar when those first notes hit 🤘
The great thing is that Sepultura is not a nu metal band and yet have one of the greatest nu metal albums
Soulfly is a nu metal band and they have sepultura’s old singer and rhythm guitarist, Max Cavalera
@@dabrazzykidskywalker I know

True.
@@dabrazzykidskywalker They sound nothing like Nu metal.
One Step Closer immediately started playing in my head when I saw this video title.
Literally same
There's something to be said about why nu-metal groove riffs work so well. They feel so right for some reason and you can really get into a song because of it.
Catchy riffs and the teen angst is what got hooked me to nu-metal.
"Here to Stay" was Korn's quintessential riff in terms of their sound.
The intro to Taproot's "Poem" was a great riff.
Honestly a lot of taproot is undercredited. Went to blue ridge 2023 and I stayed at the same hotel with them and drank/smoked with the band and heard stories. All amazing dudes
Here to stay was after korn became pointless
@@Tgym-kw7ih Disagree. When Head came back, they achieved greatness again. The Serenity of Suffering is tremendous.
@@Tgym-kw7ihit was the one time they did something cool, actually.
I just can't hear that shitty snare sound they bring with "Untouchables". There's a lot of good songs that got ruined by that horrible snare.
The entire drum kit sucks, tbh
The Points of Authority riff is one of my all-time favorites.
So simple, yet so effective.
Yes, I always liked it as well. It's so distinctively "nu-metal"ish and has that hip-hop/turntable inspired sound to it.
I like that riff too. It flows too well.
I love the riff in Don’t Stay
Wes Borland underrepresented. Definitely the Nu Metal riff god.
And that flat black Strat is sick! I can't stand Strats unless they have a very flat radius. That one looks pretty thin.
I believe that's the Jim Root Showmaster, love that axe.
those first 2 Linkin Park albums of full of great riffs...Wes Borland is also a creative genius.
Wes Borland > Brad Delson
Yeah, but barely…Brad’s riffs are super musical.
Bro got a ton of new comments in the past few days. The algorithm gods see you. Great video!
thanks! and yeah, a looooot of new comments and folks around here :)
@@maciejstillsucks That's so rad! You play really well. I like it.
@@niaboctruk138 thanks so much
My Own Summer goes hard asf
I looove that Forest riff from SOAD - I feel it doesn’t get as much praise as it should!
Agree!
100% 😎
thank you for being one of the few people on youtube that plays break stuff correctly
With wes borlands actual prs custom 24
How can you play that song incorrectly? It's literally 2 chords

@@stopit2964 yeah there's that half power chord hammer on. So yeah, 2.5 chords is accurate.

There are 10 nu metal riffs I like in this video :D
Freak On A Leash-Korn
One Step Closer-Linkin Park
My Own Summer-Deftones
Down With The Sickness-Disturbed
Bring Me To Life-Evanescence
Break Stuff-Limp Bizkit
Last Resort-Papa Roach
Bodies-Drowning Pool
Points Of Authority-Linkin Park
Boom-P.O.D.
Your collection is really great. Both the songs and the guitars.
Love seeing PODs Boom getting included. Despite being one of the earliest Nu Metal bands they get slept on.
Man how you gonna make a numetal video with no slipknot
cool idea for part 2 :)
@@maciejstillsucks❤
They ain’t nu metal playa
Probably because calling Slipknot NuMetal is an insult to Slipknot.
I read this and was praying Korn was mentioned😂
Nothingface has been completely forgotten. Audio guide and violence are essential nu metal albums
Happy to see Coal Chamber on here

Good to see the tele getting a hammering dude👍
Subbed
thanks!
Good vid my man, I appreciate all the different guitars you play here, some nice rigs you got there!
thanks for the comment!
Damn they all kinda sound like they could be part of the same album. There was definitely a specific style of guitar playing in the early 2000s haha.
I love it when people play the One Step Closer Riff correctly!
But wasn't it written in Drop C# instead of Drop D like he played in a video?
I was going to comment this
And you don't care when they play Points Of Authority wrong.
Those LTD Teles are so sick! What model(s) are they? And what model is the black Fender?
Fantastic video! All of those riffs are bops.
black fender is flathead showmaster jim root
@@senordaniell black tele is a LTD TE 202, sunburst tele is a LTD TE 254. Both are modded though ;)
I love your guitar collection. Great vid too
thanks!
Just the Coal Chamber that I Don't recognize... And I'm glad for it.... One more great Nu Band Metal Band for me to Know! Great Video dude, Successs
thanks!

Those are some beautiful telecasters! You killed it man
thanks!
Sick riffs! All of my childhood is contained here
hi maciej
fabio here! nice guitarwork!
cheers!
Love the number of tele style guitars in the video. I rock a few hot rodded teles as well. Long live bare knuckle pickups.
long live!
Korn's "Blind" deserve to be here, straight classic!
Came to hear the first few riffs, ended up watching the whole video :)
thanks!
I wouldn't place Sepultura in the Nu Metal category
I miss the late 90s early 00s. Shitty internet. Great music. We still played outside as kids. And PS1 games or Doom when raining.
Elitism and gatekeeping be damned, nu-metal remains a fantastic intro to metal as a whole. Esp for people whom the elitists would love to keep out.
Agree.
Bands associated with the genre had arguably the largest view among other metal sub genre in YT.
Like it or not, casual music listeners can get at least touch the surface of metal music thru Nu Metal.
This guy really loves his Tele body style guitars.
Ain’t nothing wrong with that tho
I do ;)
Happy to see Points Of Authority in here good stuff bro.
I turned it into a “guess the song” game and only missed Sepultra lmao. I’d call that a win
that's an L
Im glad you kept the often forgotten mudvayne..man they were good
Awesome song selection, beautifully played and wicked guitar collection. Very cool.
I was lowkey hoping for the riff from counterfeit but break stuff.still goes insanely hard
Very entertaining and well played, must be neat to compare and constrast the styles from the inside.

Kinda crazy you played a Korn classic with an SCT-607B, a stef signature guitar.

Just for opening the video with Deftones you got me to give you a like and a sub.
thanks!
Opening with “My Own Summer” you might as well just end there.
No sevendust?
wow what a cool unique looking LTD telecaster, nice one!
I’m a drummer but DAMN you got some nice guitars. Great playing.
Not gonna lie, I was bobbing to sepultura
Awesome 😎 very nostalgic 🙏
thanks!
Dig is with muted strings at the beginning
My own summer isn't tuned correctly. Needs to be another 1/2 step down
we have grammar nazis, and then guitar tunning ones

I love your guitars! I play schecter, but i had an LTD for about 2 years and it was amazing..I traded it and have regretted it ever since.
i think ltd offers nice value for the money
I was going SHOVE IT SHOVE IT SHOVE IT throughout your whole My Own Summer riff
I'm so glad people start to acknowledge static x
Love the fact there is no slipknot... thank you.
i need pills for remember to past.
Nu-metal: use me.
Thank friggin god! After 15 plus years I've finally found someone who play dwts the same as I do
:)
Cool selection!
You forgot Be Quiet and Drive by Deftones
Ahh yes, numetal… So basic, yet so good. My first ever real love.
Yes glad POD made it!!!
*Bring Back These all era's man. nowdays we have like nothing but legacies our past.*
Amazing stuff.
Nice rig man. Cool guitars
Bring me to life with guitar instead of piano is so much better
Roots bloody roots isn't nu metal, actually i feel it more like groove metal.
classic trash/groove metal which inspired a lot of what we had on nu metal
Throw in some Soulfly next round and do Blind by KoRn plz. Awesome vid. dude!!
Love it, but tell me what model is that Strat? Awesome.🤘🏻
fender flat head showmaster
NuMetal had a penchant toward the stupid and campy, but they knew how to lean into heavy riffs.
Simplistic riffs but very catchy.
That Fender total black is very cool!
Nice work! I wish i could play like that 🙂
Nothingface deserves a spot in this vid....literally throw a dart and hit insane riffage. Let's go with Everlasting Godstopper for now.
Every body says bring me to life is overrated but i thing it’s pretty cool
This is a throw back! We’ll done!
thanks :)
Fender str flat head so good job bro. 😍🤘🏽🎸🎉
static x is C tuning . Not drop C
Coincidentally, all of these songs are on the Spotify playlist I made last night.
that was a trip down memory lane... and it's like you were there lol
cool collection of guitars! baller
Is that Jim Root showmaster? Sick guitar, Where did you get it? 😮
Yes, it is :) I bought it at arizona music pro in 2007
