Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 9, 2014 Paid Members 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. Yeah she did, as part of the build-up to SummerSlam. She even quoted a bit of the lyrics in a prom, which was cringey. That was one nu-metal song that I really liked actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 10, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 10, 2014 When I was a teenager I was massively in to metal. Being 31 now, it was at a time just when nu metal was coming through and was a big thing. Â I was in to some of the bands that could be considered part of the scene, but for the most part I hated it as I considered myself "proper metal" and used to complain to the DJ at the rock club when he'd put some Limp Bizkit rubbish or whatever on. Â I still maintain it's all a bunch of shit but then so was a lot of the stuff I listened to as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Au Posted November 10, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 10, 2014 I sort of hate that Linkin Park can be considered the 'gods of nu-metal', they're bloody awful. Back before they got big, I was talking to a mate who told me they were going to be huge and that every track on the album would start "a mosh pit the size of Manchester". So, I picked it up and then assumed that I'd bought the wrong thing because I seemed to have been given some pop album by the guy in HMV. Meh. Of course, my mate had the last laugh because they ended up being stupidly big. Â I was talking to a girl I lived with in uni about this list over the weekend because we both had this weird obsession with Taproot and Nonpoint. We really confused the lead singer from Nonpoint at a gig once by getting shit faced and being their biggest fans ever whilst the rest of the crowd didn't seem to give a fuck. Ah, memories. It has to be said that I fucking loved boyhitscar as well. Â There's one album that I'm really surprised didn't make this list, 1) because it had a sort of cult status at the time and 2) because it took me ages to track down and I probably ended up importing it. Â Â Now that's some obscure nu-metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 10, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 10, 2014 I still maintain it's all a bunch of shit but then so was a lot of the stuff I listened to as well.Same here. I listened to all kinds of dance music growing up and from 99-01 you had the massive UK Garage wave around here. Listening back most of it is a load of shit (although I do get a nostalgic kick from it), but at the time it was the greatest thing ever produced. Speed Garage however, which was big around 97-98, has stood the test of time much better than it's successor in my opinion. Some of it still sounds really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 10, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 10, 2014 When I was 15 I thought Neighbourhood by Zed Bias was a good song. Very wrong to. Â Â Selecta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 10, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 10, 2014 Ha, I loved that too! And that's a perfect example of my point, what a load of shit it is. I feel good, good, good indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Nothing wrong with Neighbourhood in the slightest, UK Garage, Grime, 2-Step etc are the best stuff this country have came out with since the 2000's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 10, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 10, 2014 UK Garage is possibly the worst thing to come out of this country since Dennis Nilsen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garage was on it's way out in 2000. Dubstep is surely the biggest/best UK export in terms of music genres since the 2000s. Garage didn't even reach some parts of this country, dubstep stormed America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 There was some interesting garage knocking around in the mid-late 90s but the appropriation of the name by UK garage just killed it.

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted November 10, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 10, 2014 A former friend of mine went out with S-Club Paul when he was a barman in St. Albans, and in Skua, the inventors of Nu-Metal. He always sounded like a right twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 10, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 10, 2014 There was some interesting garage knocking around in the mid-late 90sA lot of Todd Edwards' stuff, for example. I still really like his stuff, stands out from anything else. You can spot one of his tracks a mile off. If we're taking it turns to throw in a shit UK Garage lyric, I'm going with "there's no question of a doubt, I've checked all the ladies out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
