Twatters Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 The Taproot album on that list, Blue Sky Research is a really great album. Â Sounds nothing like their earlier stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted November 8, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 8, 2014 I mean, I liked Linkin Park at the time. They were Nu Metal...right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 They were pretty much the gods of nu-metal, Hybrid Theory got spun way too much in my house during the winter of 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted November 8, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 8, 2014 I used to go to Our Price and listen to Hybrid Theory on the machines in there. I didn't have the money to drop on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 8, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yeah, Hybrid Theory is the only nu-metal album I own. How much nu-metal did WWE use in the early 2000s for their PPV themes? That was the worse thing about wrestling back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Jo, the black one and the camp one reform this time every year so they can switch the Christmas lights on somewhere. One of the radio one dj's, Scott Mills' mate I think, said he was doing a gig and Bradley off of S Club approached him to see if he could perform and then pulled out his own backing track. That guy is just wandering around clubs and student unions with his own cd looking to perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted November 9, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 9, 2014 How much nu-metal did WWE use in the early 2000s for their PPV themes? That was the worse thing about wrestling back then. WWE are the reason so many forum members will either be old Nu-Metal fans or massive haters, scarred from years of overexposure to it. They jumped on it and rode it out long after both the genre and their product had ceased to be cool. I was never really a Nu-Metal fan, but it can't be denied that for a while it was a perfect fit for the WWE's product. To give Nu-Metal some credit, there aren't many PPV themes from the past few years that stick in the mind like those of the early 2000's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted November 9, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 9, 2014 I'm pretty indifferent to nu-metal. I was a bit old for it when it finally decided to become an actual thing, but I was already listening to things like the Anthrax / Public Enemy collaboration, and bands like Faith No More, who put down the foundations of mixing rock and metal with rapping and funk rhythms. Â I liked the idea of nu-metal more than nu-metal itself, and that's largely because it didn't live up to what it should have been. Instead of pushing the boundaries of creative acceptability, it very quickly became "heard it all before" wrapped up in a late 90s guitar amp sound, and often with a bass player slapping away with his thumb and doing fuck all with the other hand.

Merzbow Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Didn't Steph come out to "Bodies" by Drowning Pool for a week or so? I'm sure it was when she started playing a part in the Invasion with ECW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted November 9, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 9, 2014  Jo, the black one and the camp one reform this time every year so they can switch the Christmas lights on somewhere. One of the radio one dj's, Scott Mills' mate I think, said he was doing a gig and Bradley off of S Club approached him to see if he could perform and then pulled out his own backing track. That guy is just wandering around clubs and student unions with his own cd looking to perform.   According to legend at our school, Bradley was known to frequent clothes shops in Sutton and Epsom asking for freebies because of who he was. I believed it at the time, but these days I wonder how much of this was tattle because he was a local lad and seemed a bit of a prick. If you're a national celebrity you could probably do better than trying to squeeze free shit from the frankly poor sartorial offerings nearby. At least give Kingston a jab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted November 9, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 9, 2014 I used to be into the ol'Nu-Metal. Don't like the stuff now, but at work i'll occasionally throw on some old ditties from the past to make mysellf chuckle a little bit and feel that warm glow of nostalgia. Here's a few choice cuts that didn't really get the praise they deserved back in the day, at least not in the UK.  Spineshank - New Disease https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-TO-L1Escc  TrustCompany - Downfall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE_0m5OkyN4  Adema - Giving In https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTOKnYNI3tU  After my Nu-Metal phase, i slunk into a typical late teens HUFFANDPUFFLIFEISSOHARD style for my musical tastes, which was a fairly standard process at the time. Thus, i started listening to a lot of Creed and Staind, mixed with some 'harder' rock like Breaking Benjamin and Stabbing Westard. Again, i don't listen to this stuff an awful lot, but i still have Creed's Greatest Hits on the iPod still. Fucking Sexy.  There were two bands that came out of that phase though that i still love to this day; Mad At Gravity and Our Lady Peace. The latter are still going strong today, and produced two of my favourite albums of all time.  Mad At Gravity - Walk Away (This was actually the theme song to the 2002 film 'Reign Of Fire', an absurdly underated film with a cast that would cost a pretty penny to pay for these days.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XymMoU3hQGc  Our Lady Peace - Clumsy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp2P6JKc1QE  I think being into obscure bands has always been my thing. Not by choice, i must say. And the bands i like/liked are pretty well known over seas, but never made it 'big' here. Our Lady Peace are probably only best known on these shores for writing Benoit's theme music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
