The Death of Nu-Metal

Ah, yes, I forgot about Linkin Park. Saw them live once, and they were really good.Though, a band better be when they play such simplistic drivel. Chester, the whiny lead singer guy, once informed the crowd that "his nipples were hard." Ever since, what little appreciation I had for them vanished.

Well, it seems to me that the trend of glorified sub-par musicianship called nu-metal is coming to an en. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed some of it. I like some of Korn's stuff, and Slipknot too, but it seems like nu-metal is fading away. Limp Bizkit is gone (which is nothing but good), Korn is still trying to hang on, though they no longer have any relevance. What nu-metal bands are still around seem to be changing a bit and getting away from that sound. Hell, Mudvayne has a guitar solo in thier new song. Any Mudvayne fan knows how unique this is. And Slipknot keeps evolving, thier sound gorwing more mature with each album, thier musicianship and song writing always improving.

From what I can tell, nu-metal is dead, or at least dying. While som of it was midlly enjoyable, I am glad this chapter of musical history is finally coming to a close.
