Ironic Indie Lad Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 What is the deal with Bring Me The Horizon and PS1 references? Shadow Moses, Parasite Eve, the new stuff has "SURVIVAL HORROR" in the title. I'm half expecting them to drop a song called "Dino Crisis"Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How anyone could say they’d sold out after The Black Album had already had half a decade of mainstream success, Christ even ...And Justice For All charted at #6 on the Billboard 200 and was on the chart for 83 weeks (until it was beaten by the first McMahon v Austin), just shows what a bunch of narrow-minded fuckwits metal fans can be. Its been said on here many times before, as recently as the Deftones talk a couple of months, but fans often can’t see past what the band were when they first got into them, when in reality the band is 15 years older than they were and don’t necessarily have the same outlook on things that they once did. Its this tribal/gatekeeping mentality that a lot of fans have. I got into Metallica around the time of Reload too, that was my starting point, so listening to the older stuff was like discovering an entirely different band, but I liked both. It’s fine to like different eras of a band. It’s a very different sound to the early stuff. Ride the Lightening was fast as fuck with lots of fuzz, and as I say, I was a big fan of that Metallica era, I found them around 92-93’ish and loved everything they did. I did understand the point that some fans were saying, that it was very different, but the idea that it was shit just didn’t sit well. I think the late 90’s, found out a way to market metal to the masses in an acceptable way, through games and movie franchises. I wonder if the new Metallica sound had been the soundtrack for a cult/underground movie, rather than a mainstream cheese action flick, would those fans have been as vocal about their displeasure? In other words, did they dislike the sound as much as they claim because it was a different sounding Metallica, or did they dislike it because generic Kevin who works with them in Asda had just been to seen MI:2 and was humming Metallica tunes along with Tori Amos? Probs a bit of both, bet I bet the latter had much more to do with it than they’d admit.

The Gaffer Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I love most of the albums on that list. Top tier nu metal is bags of fun. Sod the WWE overexposure of gradually descending in novelty, copycat bands. One of the better local gigs I was ever at was a tribute to nu metal, done as a charity fundraiser. A vast improvement on the endless doom bands we'd get play down these parts of the potato isle. There was a rammed pit, someone pulling double duty as both Fred Durst and Marilyn Manson, and during that POD song my friend Dave started screaming "I feel so alive, for the very first time, and I think I could fry and egg and two sausages" in perfect harmony with the guitar bit on that chorus. It's crazy to see the longevity of bands like Korn, and seeing them actually move up on festival bills. Still the smelliest looking band on the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra_gordo Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 He's spot on about that Papa Roach album being ridiculously positioned at number 3 though. Nice to see that Mushroomhead album getting some love too, it's a great record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 27, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 27, 2020 i unashamedly own 15 of the 21 albums on that list and still listen to them quite often, nu-metal is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve a few buddies who are proper metal heads and they’ve absolutely loved this recent Mr Bungle material. I think this will be very well received .
