Nu-metal is dying off because it truly sucks...it's all about image just like pop of today, some wear masks, makeups and stuff like that. I think it's pathetic. Linkin Park sucks as well because the stuff they put out there is all crap. Rap is crap. We wont hear from these guys 10 yrs from now hopefully less than that. There you go take your anger out here.
-
because they are all sell outs!!! :-X
-
exactly, they sell out for money and fame...that's what makes them corporate music
-
i don't really have anything to say on this but one question, how are nu-metal bands sell-outs when they've always been nu-metal? ._.
-
i guess when this whole "nu-metal" started...everybody was just like into it cuz it's new..it was post-grunge era then bands like korn, manson, rage against the machine came out and the following years a whole bunch of bands have been trying to sound like them cuz they "sell". there are bands out there that really started with the same type of genre, but there's a whole lot more bands that were affected by this fad. major labels wanted their bands to sound nu-metal. i know a lot of bands that changed their style over the years bcuz of this movement.
-
it's funny cuz korn who are the forefront of nu-metal aren't doing good with their record sales now. if u look at the list of record sales...the only band that is on the top 10 is linkin park.
we've seen trends come and go...and true metal still lives
-
classic rock rule!
check out led zeppelin, deep purple, pink floyd, yes, rush, etc etc etc.
-
^ [strawberry] yeah...they can't kill classic rock!
-
Yea! Nu Metal really sucks.. because they only know 3 chords and they just hide behind heavy distortion and detuning.. where's the creativity and proficiency in being a good musicians.. its just kids stuff!
Rock Rules!

A lot of metal bands wear make-up, costumes, and are very image-heavy -- does that mean they suck?
-
I know a lot of bands use to do that...I just think that if u really have the gift of talent u wont need to have a gimmick just to get yourself attention. KISS uses make-up and fireworks when they play live onstage but you could tell that they really posess the skills plus they were one of the firsts. Gwar have costumes but a lot of people really like them. Sorry if i didnt specify much with my previous posts...but again i'm sorry i still think bands like linkin park who mainly focuses mainly on other stuff like turntable rather than the traditional guitars, and drums suck.

Kiss is popular because of their image and their catchy songs, not because they're a groundbreaking, technical band.
Gwar have costumes but a lot of people really like them.
What makes you think that people who listen to Linkin Park doesn't like them? Granted, there are some who find Chester and his crew cute, but when it all comes down to it, they're not going to be able to sit through their concert/CD/whatever if they don't really like it.

Nobody hates Linkin Park (and most nu-metal bands) more than I do, but you're grasping at straws here. There are a lot of rock bands that go beyond guitars, drums, even tradition, but still kicks ass.
-
hahahha...oh man u crack me up!
People finding the singer of Linkin Park cute must be little high school girls or GAY! And i never said that all people hate Linkin Park of course some do (obviously your one of them). Why would anybody listen to them if they dont like their music, c'mon i have a little more sense than that. And dont be quoting bands you dont even know or probably haven't even heard of. just stick to slipknot.
Anyway u posted ur opinion i respect that.
(and BTW to those of you who are fans of Slipknot in the Philippines. They canceled their show over there because of sloOow ticket sales, not because of the fear of the terrorists...hell! Alicia Keys and that one American Idol had safe and successful shows)
-
yeah they suck. some, if not all, are just, i guess, in it for the money. and it's a sad thing kasi everywhere you go, music is being commercialized na. nawala na yung essence ng pag create ng music. and what sucks din is yung mga riffs and beat/rolling sa drums are very simple and yet mas nabibigyan pa sila ng pansin kaysa sa mga talagang may talent.
also, masyadong emphasized yung image nila. ang oa na minsan. it's as if they don't play as good as they dress. :roll:

Very true. Good examples are Children of Bodom (with thier implimentation of keyboards, which is something very rare in a death metal band) and Dream Theater, for thier use of inovative new instruments, like The Stick.

Its all music to me.....classic rock,,death metal,speed metal,prog rock ...nu-metal..ETC..it all boils down to personal taste. Its not about what one should and should not be listening.What is crap to one may be coOl musik to another.

i think it's unhealthy to generalize. you just have to listen with an open mind

>>> people who grab the 6-string and CANNOT TUNE IT DOESN'T DESERVE RESPECT!
they donnot deserve to pick up the instrument! they're a shame to the most expressive instrument that mankind came to know!
most nu metal "guitarists" cannot tune their guitars and doesn't even know that they're out of tune!
i know tuning is getting harder and harder the more your ear develops out of playing the instrument, but that's why there are now chromatic tuners! don't tell me those nu metal "guitarists" cannot buy one tuner or even borrow one!
-
these guitarists have 7-string guitars but they only use two strings...and for those who think this is a close-minded thread, we discuss here why NU-Metal is dying off it's not about respecting other people's likes or anything like that.........."the trend is over".

ahahaha, so funny.. and f_ckin' true at the same time

...what also is missing in metal these days are guitar solos. thank god bands like shadows fall and children of bodom are bringing it back. we all know black label sociey has always had solos thanks to the frontman, IMO premiere guitarist of our time zakk f u ckn wylde...
^ the kid above me who has alexi laiho's picture just reminded me of my jealousy of his talent. alexi is, correct me if i'm wrong, only 19!
-
wildchild is 26.. born in april 8th 1979, in espoo, finland, but he was 19 when they released their first album (i think). hes actually the first guy who motivated me to pick up my axe (besides zakk wylde, dimebag darrell, and kerry king) and learn how to play when i first heard their whole album "Something Wild" in '97.
and yes, guitar solos IS missing in metal these days... sad, really. the nu-metal kids are just standing there playing the same 5th and 6th string together in one fret and just sliding up and down, again and again with the same two strings... a f-cking monkey can do that!

hahahaha idespisehumanity, if that game is real, id buy that and make the crappiest nu-metal band ever.
but seriously, SOME nu-metal bands isnt all that bad, frankly i think some of them can really kick ass (just the bands who knows what a guitar solo is). so none of this close-minded [gooey brown stuff], its all about the taste.
thats right, i said it.. screw this close-minded [gooey brown stuff] posts, its all about the fugging taste!

>>> reminds me of Marty Friedman, at 18, grabbing buddy Jason Becker, 16, to form Cacophony. :) Marty Friedman of course is already a very well-known shredder at that time.

>>> if Godsmack is classified as a nu-metal band, then they ain't bad. Maybe even Disturbed.

>>> dude, there's a reason why the thread title says what it says. so if you're a fan of nu-metal, screamo, rapcore and all that stuff, then deal with it.

im not a fan of any of those genres that you listed, i just said that "some" nu-metal bands are okay like unearth, throwdown, killswitch engage, that stuff.. cuz some of them i saw in ozzfest and they can really throw a live show that is worth paying for. since you cant mosh to most of the old real metal stuff anyway (black sabbath, judas priest, etc.)
-
i have a cd of killswitch engage... i think they're okay... too bad those guitarists don't do solos... berklee pa man din yung mga yun...
