I thought you meant 'La Bamba' for a second which still would make sense given Ritchie Valens died shortly after the release of that song, just like Dave Williams
I already feel like that lol. I used to listen to soundcloud rap / trap and looking at it now there's so much better shit so I transitioned back to rock

Drowning Pool was never going to recover from the loss of Dave. Dying on tour right after their big success from a heart attack at age 30? Way too much to deal with. I live in the same town he grew up in and people still talk about it. Fucked up, man.
I honestly believe if the band didn't lose Dave.. they would had found their sound in a future album.. they were still developing their music.. who knows what could had been..
I still unapologetically love Nu Metal, and Disturbed is one of my favorites. That said, as I get closer to middle age I realize it's now my nerdy dad age music. My dad listened to cringe like "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" unironically when he was in his thirties. Nu Metal is my equivalent guilty nostalgia pleasure.
I agree with Fantano but I'm very glad he didn't include the first Disturbed album. It's actually good. He very specifically didn't include . "Believe" is safe
@@DillHurley7 Isn't Believe their sophomore release? It came out in 02, whereas The Sickness came out in 00. So he did include Believe as being a bad album lol
Syringe (Sybyr) is the best Trap Metal artist. “Hellhorse” is literally a masterpiece and the only Great album I’ve heard from this genre. Give it a listen.
BTW to anyone who (somehow) hasn't heard the "domestic abuse solo" he's talking about, Anthony's delivery is if anything a lot less silly than what you actually hear on the track. It truly is pure cringe.

@@fabriziogarreta7160 Of course I knew that, but I still don't consider than as a pure nu metal band. For me they just like an alternative rock band with nu metal sound
I agree. Yeah Disturbed is nothing fancy. Just fun riffs and catchy melodies with Davids actually really good singing. It's like fast food like you said. Believe and 10 000 fist's are some of the most bad-ass albums i have heard.
Korn was my absolute favorite band when I was 15 and I was obsessed with Nu-Metal. I've since grown into STP but Korn holds up really well. I still revisit a lot of their albums. Self titled and Untouchables are my favorites Some of their songs are pretty fucking awful though lol Kunts!, For No One and Cameltosis come to mind as stuff I hope I never listen to again
I feel like my high school experience is being attacked. I owned all of these albums and have seen several of those bands live. Nu-Metal will continue to be my guilty pleasure.
In Drowning Pool's defense to anyone who has heard that album its fucking amazing, there are some fantastic song on there that got overshadowed by bodies
Have any of you listened to the hidden tracks? They were supposed to be on a second album but unfortunately the loss of Dave happened. Heroes sleeping, less than zero, soul, and so much more. Drowning Pool is beautiful. It would be respected more if BODIES wasn’t so popular.
I remember when Coal Chamber was new, and seeing them live. I watched them with a friend for a few songs, when he turned to me and remarked: "They sound like Korn, but look like Marilyn Manson. I don't think I like it."
@@NotASaint1985 Definitely agree. Also it sounded so polished for a Korn album at the same time. The production level was paramount (I read somewhere untouchables just about financially crippled the band to produce? I could be wrong). Now to add to the mention being made of TALITM, at the time when I first bought back in 2004 Was it? I enjoyed the album but at the same time, I couldn't help but feel it was throw back of recycled riffs and material of pervious releases only this time on steroids or a bad datura trip. And although 'break some off' for example, was what I considered a great track at the time, I feel it was way too heavy to even call it a Korn track. TALITM was a good album I thought but for me looking back on it, it also had no proper fluency or new theme like they had prior. I hope that made sense? I could well be just talking shit at the same time.
@@sudevsen rage against the machine if you count them as nu metal i guess.Really depends tho a lot is absolutely awful but slipknot is still a guilty pleasurd for me
It is funny how he mentioned that they weren’t able to repeat the success of the first album, without mentioning that the lead singer died after the debut. That has a tendency to kill a fan base...
i still listen to Limp Bizkit on occasion. Wes Borland has a lot of sick ass riffs and the rest of the band know how to carry a groove better than most other nu metal groups. it's weird that Fred Durst is the reason they got as big as they did because he was also their weakest link in terms of talent
Looking back at them more objectively you truly do realise how much of a douchebag Fred Durst came across, and it wasn't even subtle. He was like a cartoon version of a wigger with a bunch of musicians who actually knew what they were doing. Especially the bassist, I know a lot of Nu Metal bands had good bassists but he was fucking phenomenal. At least the rest of the band made the money they deserved with the amount of talent they had, even if it was because of 14 year olds kids like me at the time thinking Fred Durst was actually cool.
Fred's talent was that he knew how to manage and market LB. Love him or hate him, you knew who Fred was. Before Fred met John and Sam, they had tried to make their local band take off but never could due to being kinda shy business-wise. Fred was the link that took them to the promised land and gave them a professional career, and that's why they've stuck by him even though people ask why they didn't pull an Alter Bridge on Fred and just reform without him. With Lethal and Wes it was different since they did have a background in the music business on varying scales, but even they returned once the arguments died down. People give a lot of flak to Fred for his on-stage persona and his antics in his late 20s 2 decades ago, but there's a reason the original lineup plays together today with him, instead of ending up like Axl Rose or Mark Hunter. Edit: Some grammar and adding that I still jam some LB myself from time to time either as workout music or just casual listening.
There's no shame in listening to nu metal. After all, those bands were the ones that made music about themes I could relate to as a teen. The Sickness had a huge impact on me and I still like the most of it.
It's why even though I've expanded far beyond nu metal as a genre I still listen to a lot of Korn's stuff from time to time, it got me through my pre-teen and teen years.
Nu-metal filled a gap in the US metal scene and I liked a bunch of bands, but I never liked Disturbed. That whole "oh-ah-ah-ah-ah" thing immediately killed them for me, and nothing that came after from them interested me.
Bodies and Tear away are the classics for sure, but i also like other songs on album too, like Sermon and Sinner, actually very cool album, i don't know why elitist doesn't like it so much)
Wrestling fans may not realize but Union Underground had the song Across the Nation which was WWE's theme for Raw during their Attitude Era. So they got that going for them, which is nice.
There are a whole lot of opinions about many nu metal bands like Korn, Linkin Park, Disturbed and Mudvayne on are they good or not. Most people seem to respect Slipknot these days, i remember when they used to be pretty hated (at least among metalheads). But there is one band that basically EVERYONE agrees got nu metal right: Deftones. I've heard so many claims that they're not even nu metal, since people cannot deny they're legitimately good. But their first couple of albums are so obviously Nu Metal it's ridiculous to claim otherwise. And i'm not even one of those people that has to categorize everything, but it's all there: the very tightly rhythmic grooves, downtuned guitars and vocals that go from singing to screaming to rapping to whispering. Hell they were even rockin Adidas clothing. Yes, nu metal can be good and Deftones are.
I disagree with disturbed, coal chamber, and drowning pool. Still great albums IMO. I will say this, if Dave Williams never died I think drowning pool would of been more popular and maybe made another album as good as sinner. At least as popular as maybe a band like staind. Rip Dave. Sinner is still great album to me. What a shame all these years later.
Indeed! Dude, as do people say in my country, "I wish God would hear your words". And you're completely true - Dave was extremely talented songwriter, who united extremely talented musicians around him (I said, I say, and I will say that the sound of guitars on "sinner" is amazing), and who was a really strong person to lead those talented musicians into a direction of something great, who would make Drowning Pool much bigger than they are nowadays. Dave just didn't have enough time in this world, if you know what I mean. Drowning Pool would be one of the greates alternative rock/metal bands of 2000s if he would be still alive.
....Stained? Distrubed? Drowning Pool, Coal Chamber? Dude what the fuck you have terrible fucking taste. Let me guess, before metal you like Offspring and Green Day. That's a yikes from me.
@@danebrennand wow now Offspring at least brought a lot of cool shit to people by way of Nitro records, also everything before 'Ixnay on the Hombre' holds up nicely. I didn't care for their later shit, but the money they made off that propped up Nitro and launched a lot of cool albums from some good bands. But I completely agree with the rest of your statement lol
@@gallowshumor1784 Orgy WERE great. They were great when they had Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck, but now they have only Jay Gordon acting like a jerk for the last ten years, and a bunch of boring and uninspiring instrumentals (because all the interesting stuff Orgy had was made by Derakh and Shuck, and then they took away all that wounderful stuff to Julien-K... which are awesome even when they play EDM-alike songs like "Cruel Daze of Summer". Besides, Shuck is a better singer, than Gordon)
the word "nu-metal" is not a synonym to "suck" ;) besides - Adrenaline and (especially) Around the Fur were the nu-metal classics, that brought those hip-hop influence into the genre. But anyways, Deftones are still great (and - probably, one of the greates guitar-bands of the last 30 years - it's hard to call Deftones a rock or metal band, 'cause they've played almost everything - from almost djenty prog-metal to post-punk, shoegaze and even triphop, so let's just call them "a guitar-band")
I'm 33 now, and I still make mixtapes from these, a series of mixtapes i call "origins", because nu metal was the reason i bought my first guitar, and from there i went ahead going from music genre to another without bashing any of them. I totally believe i enjoyed these albums man, cause i still do. At least nu metal then was creative.
Ehhhhh 10k has a couple of okay songs but the rest is needlessly muddy and grating. Sons of Plunder is hilarious and a lot of the rest of the album just sounds like that lame band that tried to hype a crowd up but fails spectacularly.
Spiro Where have all the merrymakers gone is actually a really solid album front to back. Pretty big fan of little by little too. Way better band than they get credit for.
How about 5 nu metal albums that you still love, or can still appreciate? I think Slipknot’s self titled album or Iowa still definitely deserve praise, and I’d love to hear you discuss them, seeing as they have an album set to release this year. Perhaps also Sepultura’s Roots, it’s really your choice. Would just be an interesting video on an extremely overheated genre that DID actually have a few fantastic albums.
also its worth noting that nu metal is having a mini revival by being combined with metalcore. plus we did get some good nu metal records even after the time of the genres popularity. "DIM" by gazette (released in 2009) is a prime example of this, also i think a look at Korns Untouchables would be interesting (it was the most expensive album ever made at the time)
the early korn records were awesome (and honestly imo some of their new material is good), slipknot for sure, deftones earlier "nu metal" albums were amazing altho melon said he doesnt care for deftones, even linkin parks first 2 albums were pretty good
Was Slipknots first album really Nu-metal?always came off industrial to me,like the album though.And Iowa wasn’t bad musically the lyrics just get kinda cringe for me.
I actually enjoy Drowning Pool's debut album. Tear Away, Sinner, All Over me and Reminded are still bangers. Same- ish but still, bangers. Also Enemy is another great song from them as well as Step Up and 37 Stitches but thst's a different vocalist. As for Disturbed, i feel like their second album is way better than The Sickness. The song actually sound different. But hey, that is just my opinion. A question, does anybody remember 40 Below Summer? I loved that band, another earwormy singalong songs, still commng back to it from time to time.
Same thing i was saying to myself and shit. The songs on Sinner all had the same sound going on but those 3 are definitely great standalone songs if you separate them from the album. It'll always hold a 7/10 for me
Before Drowning Pool got their big break, they were in the running with a few other bands from the scene for that position. I really wanted Low Gear to blow up instead of Drowning Pool. Bah.
@@FictionExistence I really dig drums and vocals on whole The Morning After. On songs like Rain or a season in hell they give that floaty and big sound to them. And the vocals were really fitting.
I absolutely can’t believe you actually liked Dropping Plates at one point lmao I have a huge soft spot for the band but I hated that song since day one
People miscategorize Tool,System Of A Down,Rage Against The Machine,Deftones,Incubus,Rammstein,Mudvayne,White Zombie,Rob Zombie,Marilyn Manson,Nine Inch Nails,Mindless Self Indulgence,Mr Bungle,Primus,and Faith No More as Nu Metal when these bands just influenced Nu Metal and are a lot better than most Nu Metal bands.Korn was the first Nu Metal band and influenced many bands their music was good. But crappy bands like Saliva and Papa Roach and Coal Chamber ripped them off. Korn,Slipknot,Static X,Linkin Park,and Snot are actually good Nu Metal bands among a handful of other bands.

Have any of you listened to the hidden tracks? They were supposed to be on a second album but unfortunately the loss of Dave happened. Heroes sleeping, less than zero, soul, and so much more. Drowning Pool is beautiful. It would be respected more if BODIES wasn’t so popular.
@@charmproductions7751 You're on some crack bro
I remember when Coal Chamber was new, and seeing them live. I watched them with a friend for a few songs, when he turned to me and remarked: "They sound like Korn, but look like Marilyn Manson. I don't think I like it."
Back when Call of Duty: World at War came out, the Nazi Zombie montages with "Bodies" playing in the background were INESCAPABLE
Let the bodies hit the...\*tsh tsh\* FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
And that's about the time that I could click the Back button on my browser.
Try Halo 3 videos, that as well as Paralyzer by Finger Eleven
Basically almost every FPS montage back then used it, haha
I prefer "Numbers" by Psychostick
Tbh I still enjoy Korn’s first 4 albums 🤷🏽♂️
I'd go 5. Untouchables. It should have been Korn's closer too
Me too, and yeah Untouchables is sonically the most brutal album from them, l besides Take A Look In The Mirror
@@NotASaint1985 Definitely agree. Also it sounded so polished for a Korn album at the same time. The production level was paramount (I read somewhere untouchables just about financially crippled the band to produce? I could be wrong). Now to add to the mention being made of TALITM, at the time when I first bought back in 2004 Was it? I enjoyed the album but at the same time, I couldn't help but feel it was throw back of recycled riffs and material of pervious releases only this time on steroids or a bad datura trip. And although 'break some off' for example, was what I considered a great track at the time, I feel it was way too heavy to even call it a Korn track. TALITM was a good album I thought but for me looking back on it, it also had no proper fluency or new theme like they had prior. I hope that made sense? I could well be just talking shit at the same time.
Hey man you like what you like, thats the beauty of music-personally i don't like nu-metal in general but i csn understand why people are into it 👍
I still enjoy their first 8.
The "Domestic Abuse" part in Down with the Sickness isnt actually about domestic abuse. But I still wish they scrapped it.
Fun Fact: Its Ozzy Osbourne on the cover of Coal Chamber debut record
Serious?
I believe it, Sharon Osborne used to manage them I believe
He also sang on their cover of Shock the Monkey
No it’s not

I can’t hate on Coal Chamber. Their simplicity is what made that album amazing. It was so basic that it was brilliant.
Mudvayne's LD50 is a very underrated Nu Metal gem that still holds up well on an occasional listen.
The end of all things to come, is even better to me now. The basd on that album, Ryan Martinie is so good.
LD50 is a masterpiece of an album, from Chad's vocals to Ryan's bass playing, to the guitar tones to the drums
Ryan martinie is the only enjoyable thing about mudvayne
the rest just make them sound like a bad slipknot fusion
It's easily one of the bests of the sub genere
First 3 Mudvayne records are legit good albums, I Agree
Really glad you didn't lump Static-X in here, that band broke my music hymen.
yeah they were on another level... get up on this wisconsin death trip...
static x is a great band thats why he didnt. my childhood band
If deftones is on here im going to riot
He's mentioned Deftones before several times in a positive light. I doubt he'd suddenly forget how influential Around the Fur or White Pony was.
Are they and SOAD the only good ones?
@@sudevsen rage against the machine if you count them as nu metal i guess.Really depends tho a lot is absolutely awful but slipknot is still a guilty pleasurd for me
@@Hanzer-ns5bh ive only heard him trash them recently, shame because they make some of my favourite music
@@sudevsen I've seen Static-X and Fear Factory labeled as nu-metal, but I'm not sure on the veracity of those claims.
Dang why did you had to do Drowning Pool like that?
Right. Sinners a great album. Fuck melon
Tear Away and Sinner
fr that album is good, fuck this guy
It is funny how he mentioned that they weren’t able to repeat the success of the first album, without mentioning that the lead singer died after the debut. That has a tendency to kill a fan base...
@@Swoopert I know, I only listen to that one album :(
🎶No mommy, don't do it again🎶
So deep 😟😢😥😦😭😔😞🙁😓💔☹️
Hit or miss
Tear Away was a pretty dope song though. I loved that song back in high school
The whole album got me into music when i was a kid, I can’t dislike the album lol
i still listen to Limp Bizkit on occasion. Wes Borland has a lot of sick ass riffs and the rest of the band know how to carry a groove better than most other nu metal groups. it's weird that Fred Durst is the reason they got as big as they did because he was also their weakest link in terms of talent
Looking back at them more objectively you truly do realise how much of a douchebag Fred Durst came across, and it wasn't even subtle. He was like a cartoon version of a wigger with a bunch of musicians who actually knew what they were doing. Especially the bassist, I know a lot of Nu Metal bands had good bassists but he was fucking phenomenal.
At least the rest of the band made the money they deserved with the amount of talent they had, even if it was because of 14 year olds kids like me at the time thinking Fred Durst was actually cool.
Fred's talent was that he knew how to manage and market LB.
Love him or hate him, you knew who Fred was.
Before Fred met John and Sam, they had tried to make their local band take off but never could due to being kinda shy business-wise. Fred was the link that took them to the promised land and gave them a professional career, and that's why they've stuck by him even though people ask why they didn't pull an Alter Bridge on Fred and just reform without him.
With Lethal and Wes it was different since they did have a background in the music business on varying scales, but even they returned once the arguments died down.
People give a lot of flak to Fred for his on-stage persona and his antics in his late 20s 2 decades ago, but there's a reason the original lineup plays together today with him, instead of ending up like Axl Rose or Mark Hunter.
Edit: Some grammar and adding that I still jam some LB myself from time to time either as workout music or just casual listening.
Let's argue: if Anthony Fantano was a track his dentist would be his ghostwriter
the only reason Anthony has garnered any credibility or interest is because of his dentistry
Dreadlocks... So many colores dreadlocks. Oh my god, today's Trap truly is the new nu metal.
EATshitanddrinkbleac took the words out of my mouth
Korn’s debut really got it goin
The Union Underground had other songs besides the Monday Night Raw theme during 2002-2006? News to me.
That era was so terrible I quit watching wrestling 😔. So dull and boring.
And that was BEFORE it. Which is a shocker.
@@blackdragon6 2002 was amazing (at least for SmackDown). Behave yourself.
tbf that song is like
idk I like it even though the lyrics are dumb imo
Wasn't "turn me on mr deadman" wwe related too?
Stricken will always be my favorite song from them
I hate to say it, but I kinda like Stupify.
@@heelstevenmaggle5615 eh that one is alright
Stricken is a classic
123123123 Nah cause they’re is a few songs where the choruses can save the songs imo. Overall tho they are just kind of boring lol
Kinda funny because I dislike their entire discography yet for some reason like Stricken. No clue why
There's no shame in listening to nu metal. After all, those bands were the ones that made music about themes I could relate to as a teen.
The Sickness had a huge impact on me and I still like the most of it.
It's why even though I've expanded far beyond nu metal as a genre I still listen to a lot of Korn's stuff from time to time, it got me through my pre-teen and teen years.
I regret nothing. Don't be ashamed of your roots!
The Sickness was THE BOMB!!! FUCK WHAT ANYONE SAYS!! ☺☺☺☺
Nu-metal filled a gap in the US metal scene and I liked a bunch of bands, but I never liked Disturbed. That whole "oh-ah-ah-ah-ah" thing immediately killed them for me, and nothing that came after from them interested me.
I'll never forget my co-worker clowning on me for listening to candlemass immediately before introducing me to coal chamber
I was so happy to hear Fantano sing praises for Korn
Overhaul , preach :)
ew
You think Drowning Pools - Bodies was a better song than Tear Away? bruh
was looking for this comment. tear away is a damn sweet song!
I listen to tear away the most on that record actually. I like to sing the chorus especially in front of my wife lol
@@mrmike320 Hahaha me too lol. Now, though, I don't have a wife anymore. True story =)
Bodies and Tear away are the classics for sure, but i also like other songs on album too, like Sermon and Sinner, actually very cool album, i don't know why elitist doesn't like it so much)
That whole album is a consistent thrashing I love it and RIP Dave Williams

Wrestling fans may not realize but Union Underground had the song Across the Nation which was WWE's theme for Raw during their Attitude Era. So they got that going for them, which is nice.
The only song I remember from this group was "Turn Me On Mr. Dead Man". They did a wrestling intro? omg.
Wrestling is just as cringey as nu-metal

Fuck yeah. Severed is simply just one of my favorite songs of all time.

LD 50 is still great. Nothing Mudvayne ever did after that came close.

There are a whole lot of opinions about many nu metal bands like Korn, Linkin Park, Disturbed and Mudvayne on are they good or not. Most people seem to respect Slipknot these days, i remember when they used to be pretty hated (at least among metalheads).
But there is one band that basically EVERYONE agrees got nu metal right: Deftones. I've heard so many claims that they're not even nu metal, since people cannot deny they're legitimately good. But their first couple of albums are so obviously Nu Metal it's ridiculous to claim otherwise. And i'm not even one of those people that has to categorize everything, but it's all there: the very tightly rhythmic grooves, downtuned guitars and vocals that go from singing to screaming to rapping to whispering. Hell they were even rockin Adidas clothing. Yes, nu metal can be good and Deftones are.
I disagree with disturbed, coal chamber, and drowning pool. Still great albums IMO.
I will say this, if Dave Williams never died I think drowning pool would of been more popular and maybe made another album as good as sinner. At least as popular as maybe a band like staind. Rip Dave. Sinner is still great album to me. What a shame all these years later.
Indeed! Dude, as do people say in my country, "I wish God would hear your words". And you're completely true - Dave was extremely talented songwriter, who united extremely talented musicians around him (I said, I say, and I will say that the sound of guitars on "sinner" is amazing), and who was a really strong person to lead those talented musicians into a direction of something great, who would make Drowning Pool much bigger than they are nowadays. Dave just didn't have enough time in this world, if you know what I mean. Drowning Pool would be one of the greates alternative rock/metal bands of 2000s if he would be still alive.
Disturbed is one of those bands that is great to listen to but you don't wear the T-shirt
....Stained? Distrubed? Drowning Pool, Coal Chamber?
Dude what the fuck you have terrible fucking taste. Let me guess, before metal you like Offspring and Green Day. That's a yikes from me.
@@danebrennand wow now Offspring at least brought a lot of cool shit to people by way of Nitro records, also everything before 'Ixnay on the Hombre' holds up nicely. I didn't care for their later shit, but the money they made off that propped up Nitro and launched a lot of cool albums from some good bands. But I completely agree with the rest of your statement lol
I still listen to the sickness and sinner. (insert meme) TO THIS DAY!
It's okay... I too, did it all for the nookie.
(Come oon) the NOOKIE.

@@melynxdrome4154 👍
Dope’s debut album might not be the nu metal album you want to hear, but Life was actually a pretty dope album
dope
I still think the first Orgy album Candyass holds up. Interesting fusion of nu-metal and 80s synth pop
Orgy is great
Yeah they ruled
@@gallowshumor1784 Orgy WERE great. They were great when they had Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck, but now they have only Jay Gordon acting like a jerk for the last ten years, and a bunch of boring and uninspiring instrumentals (because all the interesting stuff Orgy had was made by Derakh and Shuck, and then they took away all that wounderful stuff to Julien-K... which are awesome even when they play EDM-alike songs like "Cruel Daze of Summer". Besides, Shuck is a better singer, than Gordon)
True dat
Did you guys know that orgy used to be a hair metal band in the 80s? "Rough Cut"
Honestly, I liked Loco on that Coal Chamber album. Not a masterpiece by any means but a screamy song that you just can't take that seriously.
It had a good groove.
bro check out bradley from that album
Loco was the only song from them that i enjoyed (everything else is a hard pass from me)
@@soulexchangemusic Bradley is a way better song imo but hey
"I'll put your ass in a chokehold" kills it for me lol.
Still hoping for a classic review of Hybrid Theory
I dont think Slayers Reign in blood is nu metal but if u say so ...
I know you're joking, but Diabolus and God Hates Us All are Nu Metal albums. Honestly I like both albums, and I hate Nu Metal.
no

@@alexandertrilliam Maybe he would still do it, he has said he loves the band
One thing I'll say for NuMetal bands is they put on entertaining concerts.
Yeah I've heard Korn fans say that they are the best band to watch live. Makes sense when considering the 'feel' of nu-metal music.
No jokes or snark, I clicked this video holding my breath like my fetish was about to be called out.
Respectable list.
Glad Deftones wasn't on here, they were way too good to ever get lumped in with Nu Metal.
Tiny Glitch amen
They were Nu-metal for a minute,but too talented to stay there.
the word "nu-metal" is not a synonym to "suck" ;) besides - Adrenaline and (especially) Around the Fur were the nu-metal classics, that brought those hip-hop influence into the genre. But anyways, Deftones are still great (and - probably, one of the greates guitar-bands of the last 30 years - it's hard to call Deftones a rock or metal band, 'cause they've played almost everything - from almost djenty prog-metal to post-punk, shoegaze and even triphop, so let's just call them "a guitar-band")
Why does the Disturbed album have a surgeon general's warning?
Mr.Pat
Cause before you purchase it, you have to be down with the sickness.
It causes cancer.
Mr.Pat because purchasing the album is a sign of no brain activity.
cuz trying to emulate the EW AH AH AH AH causes throat cancer
Because that shit is that bad for you man, gives you disentary
I only remember the Union Underground because they did the theme to WWE Raw back in the early to mid 00s. lol
Holy shit that brings back memories
I'm 33 now, and I still make mixtapes from these, a series of mixtapes i call "origins", because nu metal was the reason i bought my first guitar, and from there i went ahead going from music genre to another without bashing any of them. I totally believe i enjoyed these albums man, cause i still do.
At least nu metal then was creative.
I will have to admit: Disturbed’s Ten Thousand Fists is a guilty pleasure for me
Nothing guilty about wanting to get fisted
most of the tracks from The Sickness are still solid
Ehhhhh
10k has a couple of okay songs but the rest is needlessly muddy and grating. Sons of Plunder is hilarious and a lot of the rest of the album just sounds like that lame band that tried to hype a crowd up but fails spectacularly.
Omg I came down here to say this

13:05 Anarchy Fantano channeling his inner nu metal dudebro lol
How about 5 nu metal albums that you still love, or can still appreciate? I think Slipknot’s self titled album or Iowa still definitely deserve praise, and I’d love to hear you discuss them, seeing as they have an album set to release this year. Perhaps also Sepultura’s Roots, it’s really your choice. Would just be an interesting video on an extremely overheated genre that DID actually have a few fantastic albums.
also its worth noting that nu metal is having a mini revival by being combined with metalcore. plus we did get some good nu metal records even after the time of the genres popularity. "DIM" by gazette (released in 2009) is a prime example of this, also i think a look at Korns Untouchables would be interesting (it was the most expensive album ever made at the time)
KoRn's first 2 records are pretty flawless, and they predate "nu-Metal", especially since that never existed and everyone copied them.
the early korn records were awesome (and honestly imo some of their new material is good), slipknot for sure, deftones earlier "nu metal" albums were amazing altho melon said he doesnt care for deftones, even linkin parks first 2 albums were pretty good
Was Slipknots first album really Nu-metal?always came off industrial to me,like the album though.And Iowa wasn’t bad musically the lyrics just get kinda cringe for me.
You'll probably find that most of the albums you consider go beyond being standard numetal
Just the way he said “I’m gonna be there, Cal’s gonna be there” had me dyinggggg
Brian Krosky I know. Those two separate people are a hilarious duo!
I've totally seen them in the same room together at the same time.
You must be the target audience.
I actually enjoy Drowning Pool's debut album. Tear Away, Sinner, All Over me and Reminded are still bangers. Same- ish but still, bangers. Also Enemy is another great song from them as well as Step Up and 37 Stitches but thst's a different vocalist. As for Disturbed, i feel like their second album is way better than The Sickness. The song actually sound different. But hey, that is just my opinion. A question, does anybody remember 40 Below Summer? I loved that band, another earwormy singalong songs, still commng back to it from time to time.
Step into the sideshow.
Same thing i was saying to myself and shit. The songs on Sinner all had the same sound going on but those 3 are definitely great standalone songs if you separate them from the album. It'll always hold a 7/10 for me
40 Below Summer had a bunch of good songs. they weren't as well known though.
Before Drowning Pool got their big break, they were in the running with a few other bands from the scene for that position. I really wanted Low Gear to blow up instead of Drowning Pool. Bah.
@@FictionExistence I really dig drums and vocals on whole The Morning After. On songs like Rain or a season in hell they give that floaty and big sound to them. And the vocals were really fitting.
I absolutely can’t believe you actually liked Dropping Plates at one point lmao
I have a huge soft spot for the band but I hated that song since day one
I still like that song.
Instrumentally, I love that song.
Vocally... Not so much
I love that song fuck off
Disturbed was and still is a great band, but that song is easily their worst
I think that song is decent, especially compared to the two awful songs before it Numb and Want
People miscategorize Tool,System Of A Down,Rage Against The Machine,Deftones,Incubus,Rammstein,Mudvayne,White Zombie,Rob Zombie,Marilyn Manson,Nine Inch Nails,Mindless Self Indulgence,Mr Bungle,Primus,and Faith No More as Nu Metal when these bands just influenced Nu Metal and are a lot better than most Nu Metal bands.Korn was the first Nu Metal band and influenced many bands their music was good. But crappy bands like Saliva and Papa Roach and Coal Chamber ripped them off. Korn,Slipknot,Static X,Linkin Park,and Snot are actually good Nu Metal bands among a handful of other bands.
you should really add spaces after commas, it makes it kinda difficult to read.
@@zaonikoviolet ok I dont pay attention to stuff like that when I'm making comments on UA-cam
Ok, so static x came out 2 years after coal chamber, and are heavily influenced by coal chamber... So how can you say coal chamber is a crappy band?
I don't really think people "miscategorize" those bands. It's just that some of their music has brushed the Nu Metal genre.
@gonzaa marques,el limón místico are you seriously saying fungus amongus is nu metal?
