The history of NU METAL - in 22 riffs

- Опубліковано 3 тра 2024
- 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 :)

I have never heard Pantera ever classified as Nu Metal.
“Predecessor”
Pantera is not nu metal, but paved the path to the genre
They are definitely a forefather of Nu metal. Their style was Groove Metal
They aren't there is 0 logical progression to this at all. Dude is good at guitar and is showing it off just fine.
Cause it's not
Nu metal is basically post groove metal.
It's the collision of groove metal and alt rock
You gdmnn right, it's like funk and disco
You just called nu metal in other words
More like post Alternative Metal.
@@atvena But also took influence from other styles before. Like Korn on "Blind", one can hear the influences from Grunge in early Nu-Metal. Groove Metal, Alternative-Metal, Grunge, Rap-Metal, Funk-Metal, even Industrial at times. Then you had bands like Soulfly and Ill Nino adding tribal influences and more.
I would have maybe thrown in a Helmet riff somewhere, I think they had a pretty big influence on what that style would become.
Came here to point out how glaring that omission was. It would be like evolution of reggae without a Bob Marley song. Smfh
Good to see you give Kittie some love. They are so often overlooked.
Man it's so satisfying to see someone throwing all of these riffs using Telecasters. :D
can't get enough of em! :D
The Stephen Carpenter Ltd tele is so freaking sexy
Mr Bungle was one of the hugest influence for early nu metal that should’ve been mentioned in beginning. Korn literally calls their earlier riffs “the bungle riff” for a reason
I love that you put My Ticket Home on this. Always thought they were under appreciated for their last two albums.
My Ticket Home initially was Metalcore. But can definitely see the Nu-metal influence on their later stuff.
@@MusicForTherapy it wasn’t simply influence, by the time the strangers album was made, they were undisputedly Nu Metal.
I have one of those Green LTD 607bs. Stephen's signature guitars are so sick
I have the original see thru green ESP SRC
@@DaveThomson awesome, that's sick
Just had a hell of a throwback moment to my teens. Thank you.
Kittie and Adema, now we're talking!
That Cowboys from Hell tone gives me life 🤘
🤘
No seven dust???
I never considered Happy Song as Nu Metal, but now that you point it out i can defo see it
Glad to see some Adema love. People seem to forget about them.
That Adema riff never gets old
Excellent list
Great rétrospective!
thanks!
omg great memories this riffs reminds me my youth and very cool moments of my life 🥲
Bit of an odd suggestion. But can you teach how to play “show me how you got” by limp Bizkit on your channel?
You've got new subs just because almost all of them are Telecaster style guitars, lol. Nice man!
te tele od LTD są po prostu przepiękne, brzmią też przepięknie. super film ;)
Excelent!
Bombtrack-Blind-Bored-My Own Summer
Hell yeah
🤘🏼
Rock On! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
🤘🏼
Bored by Deftones is actually played in standard, not Drop D.

Putting Pantera in a Nu Metal video is wild, but I’m here for it
How is suicide silence nu metal? 💀
I saw wargasm UK last Friday live on stage 💪🏻
Soundgarden "Outshined" was missing from the first part :)
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
Where did you get that fender… that’s a rarity!
Bought it at a store called Arizona Music Pro in 2007, if I remember correctly
Korn is the Black Sabbath of this genre. They started it.
Deftones would like a word with you about that.
@@nolessnomore6731 Korn unleashed the 7 string guitar on the world.
@@nolessnomore6731deftones?😂
@@nolessnomore6731adrenaline came out in 95, and before you mention like Linus, that’s more alt/prog metal
@@The_Guy1337 So you're going to place semantics. Nu Metal has influences of alt and prog metal. So congrats, you're still wrong. Deftones have been playing that shit since 88, before Korn was a band.
Any riff of One Minute Silence please!
Sway... nice.
You chose the wrong song on Limp Bizkit's album
Should be significant other's break stuff
Anyone who was there knew that faith no more was going to be first.
It takes til the 2 minute mark til anything that's actually nu metal comes in but all of the covers are done exceptionally well.
The very start of liberate is so haunting
Underrated song tbh
This is the problem with categorising everything so heavily. The nuances are so tight that everything eventually becomes everything else
I think the only thing is missing is Static-X - The Only and Break Stuff probably represents LB better but great video overall, thanks!
OMG, watch his pinky in Down With The Sickness. that's some exorcist shit haha. no crit though, just thought it was funny. great video. nu metal was my youth
its all fine. my pinky is croooooked :D
I would say nu metal has been started by Biohazard in 1992
Like I put to a previous commenter saying Korn is the "Black Sabbath" of the genre. Deftones would like a word with you about what you said.
Machine head - ten ton hammer
I like you fender telecaster❤
No Helmet?
Te falto un riff del 98
Soad - sugar
Suicide Silence as Nu Metal?
You should have played Infinite Dreams by Iron Maiden for Last Resort to troll the rip off.
Like for My ticket home :)
such a dope band!
@@maciejstillsucks Love them, They really keep this middle in grunge and Nu-metal!
Why is Pantera here
Where is Rammstein
Slipknot есть. Выбранный трек топовый. Лайк! 🧚🏿♀️
isnt the third one thrash?
maybe the influences
Should have ended with my ticket home
Bored was played wrong. Literally
trhe wrong notes, it's not droo d
Limp bizkit break stuff
Aw, you left out Tallah
:(
lol i think SS is deathcore :)
why is slipknot here!??
What about slipknot ISN'T nu metal? A DJ, sampler guy, dudes in jumpsuits with masks, some are clowns.
Don't know what is the definition of Nu Metal to you but yoy just played lot of Heavy metal and some Punk Rock.
RATM, FNM, Sepultura wasn't new Metal...
System of a Down? Seriously?
Edit : Lacuna Coil could easily be inside.
for me is just music that i might or might not like. I am not gender specific
suicide silence is deathcore, and spiritbox and emmure are metalcore not nu metal
Susie silence is not nu metal it’s fucking deathcore. Just because the album has once Jonathan Davis feature does not make it nu metal lol. Emmure really isn’t either but they’re somewhat inspired by it so I’ll let it pass lol.
Papa roach
BMTH from 2015 its numetal ? 🧐, ok.. maybe after became bmth numetal i Idont know
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.
My fellow guitarists will attest that basically none of these are played correctly :/
:(
@@maciejstillsucks don’t give up! Keep playing! You’re better than I am in many ways. Pay extra attention to note duration and continue to develop your muting techniques! That’s basically where the problems lie
@@Meshuggapeth will do. thx for the feedback
@@maciejstillsucks no, thanks for the entertaining video that took a lot of work. Sorry for being a d*ck about it in the OP!
@@Meshuggapeth no worries :) appreciate every comment
i promise u on everything you and i love pantera is not nu-metal
Bailed when Pantera and Anthrax appeared on a Nu Metal video
Чуть заснул. Самый скучный жанр метала
Дерьмовая подборка
Pantera, RATM and a Faith No More are not NuMetal. You really need to work on your tone.
Thats why it said “meet the predecessors”
Thrash metal is not nu metal
It said they were their predecessors
