  • Today we're looking back at one of the more underappreciated bands from the nu-metal scene: Taproot.
    As of 2024, these Michigan rockers have seven studio albums to their name and have been around since the 90's, facing many ups and downs along the way.
    I put a lot of effort into this one, so I hope I was able to do their story justice 🖤

    Taproot was one of my favorite bands back in the day. They were one of my first concerts and the singer was super cool and signed my shirt.

    Good video, thanks for all the history! Taproot was the first band I ever saw, I was probably 14-15. They opened for Linkin Park at the Showbox in Seattle. I had no idea that night was going to change the course of my life and I would be a total show junkie from that point on. It was a great time! January 26th, 2001!

    Taproot is one of my favorite Nu-Metal bands of all time, always loved that they had a small bit of a metalcore flair to their sound whenever the heavier parts came on!
    Great history lesson, this video was fantastic!

    Interesting story, thank you for putting it in such a clear and entertaining video. Crazy how Victory Records just shows up every now and again [coincidentally they're with the "the Bunny the Bear" CD I bought the other day]
    Never any pressure to make more videos, but I'll be watching if you do 🖤

    Who else had a 3 cd credit from Columbia House and took a risk on a band and self titled album they never heard of but took that chance because the description mentioned Deftones as a comparable artist?

  • @thomasanderson2757
    @thomasanderson2757 2 місяці тому +4

    I will forever say that Nu Metal (along with Metalcore) is the best Metal genre. Bands like: Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Deftones, System of a Down and Taproot to name a few are the reason why I defend Nu Metal.

    alien ant farm, taproot and linking park was the first concert i ever went to. saw them all play at the electric factory in philadelphia, i think 2001! it was right before linkin park took off. i remember saying to myself that the second band was the best, which happened to be taproot.

    Steve is a genius songwriter and a badass in the studio, but his voice isn’t for everybody… and his live performances were always lacking.
    His one dimensional growl, his flamboyant vibrato, his childlike lyrics, and his corny compulsion to act out his lyrics on stage are things that I feel have always held them back from the big show.
