  • Following up the last video ("iconic nu metal riffs"), I thought it would be fun to explore some more legendary riffs. From the humble beginnings to the current state of nu metal.
    Some of the song choices are based on the documentary series "Metal Evolution", others are my personal selection. In no way is this a super complete overview. Anyway, have fun :)

    What about prong, lost and found 1990. And the rap-metal thing goes back to 1984 with I'm the man by anthrax, and that afrikka bambaata john lydon collab, not to mention the run dmc aerosmith thing a year or 2 later.
    Also the judgement night soundtrack of rock-alt-metal/rap collabs which iirc was 1993, might have been 94.
    Also faith no more's we care a lot goes back to 1986, before mike patton.
    And of course like others have mentioned, mr bungle, and the riffs and lack of solos of helmet, who also had a collab with house of pain on the judgement night soundtrack
    And early run dmc had some serious guitar riffage on a few tunes.

    Don't really hear a lot of Nu-Metal in bands after 2004 tbh. Only bands that truly kept to it after that point was basically Slipknot, Mudvayne etc. Mostly a genre known for it's weird image (Slipknot and their jump suites, masks etc), often rap vocals and scooped mid tone. One could say that Pantera had an influence on it from their aggressive style and scooped tone (a part from this it's another example of a band I wouldn't classify as "Nu-Metal"), Deftones & KoRn by their heavy downtuned riffs and Anthrax & Public Enemy for fusing rap and metal.
    Only new band I came across in YEARS that actually really sounded Nu-Metal is Sleep Theory. I personally wouldn't classify Suicide Silence as Nu-Metal although there is obviously some influence there

    Nu Metal peaked in 1999/2000. Everything after that was just the rapid decline. I think Linkin Park and Slipknot came out of it with the most integrity. Limp Bizkit was never a sustainable band and Korn became a parody of themselves before having an identity crisis before just going full mediocre.
