 Topic: The Death of Nu-Metal
Posted: December 26 2008 at 14:50 |
|
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.

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.

that's awesome.
I saw them live too along with POD and two other bands... Chester had a cold so they didn't sound all that great, but whatever

I thought it had died 4 or 5 years ago.

I was never interested in music until 4 or 5 years ago, so thankfully I never really knew about it. Thank god it's dead so it doesn't have to drive me nuts anymore.
Of course, how can I kill this mainstream alternative rock on the radio these days?

Here in Argentina we have a sort of music called Regueton. It's makes Fred Durst sound like Richard Sinclair more or less

When was Slipknot or Mudvayne ever Nu-Metal? What aspects of their music were at all hip-hop-inspired?

They both incorporated some hip-hop influences in a few of thier songs. I never thought that to be nu-metal, it had to have hip-hop influences. I just thought nu-metal had loud crashing chords, a simple beat, and really not a whole lot of musicianship.

Nu-metal takes influence from grunge, groove metal and funk in addition to hip-hop.

Okay, well . . . even if that IS the case, I ask again . . .

Mudvayne has alot of Mathrock in their playing, and Slipknot to my ears have always played impressive music guitar-wise.
I could be wrong. Niether of them are my favorite bands, so . . .
