can't write any original material worthy of being played more than once, so instead play cover songs from bands that are barely talented themselves and then try to act like you just invented the wheel by asking everyone what they thought of your performance of songs that other people who are more talented than you wrote.
go hide out for a year and come back when you've grown balls enough to not ride the wave of halfassed nu-metal songs that already charted in the 90's on Billboard and have since disappeared into two chord chugga chugga obscurity. - Sun, 25 Apr 2004 2:49pm

The reason I feel that nu-metal is "weasely" is that it just seems so immature. The music is just not that interesting and it always has some cheesy ideals about it that you'd hear coming from a kid who shops at Randy River and wears shirts like "You Laugh At Me Because I'm Different, I Laugh At You Because You Are All The Same". To me the whole genre just reeks of junior high mentality...

Mind you, not to say anything bad about the genre that I love...but death/black metal can be pretty dorky sometimes. I just take it all with a grain of salt. Unfortunately with alot of nu-metal bands I just can't get into it no matter what. - Tue, 27 Apr 2004 1:58pm

I doubt you guys have even heard of most of the stuff Troo-Metalheads listen to. In Flames and Chilren of bodom are the tip of the death metal iceberg and most of us are sick to shit of them.

Sounds all the same to me... I like that post earlier that said don't confuse nu with new. Music needs to move forward (*even metal).

Now here is what I love about nu-metal,
lets take the simpler Slayer/Pantera/Metallica riffs, BUT
instead of layering the music with a second guitar or doing
anything interesting at all lets just play it really loud through a Mesa Boogie/ Line 6 under a nice crystal clear production!! Do you really think anyone will reminince about the days of Linkin Park or Papa Roach and the like?? What really irks me about these groups is that they try to do what the gods of metal do like Slayer , Megadeth etc but all they manage to do is suck the life right out of what these groups were doing. The biggest problem with nu metal is that it isn't memorable and it trys to sweep great bands like Megadeth under the rug. - Fri, 30 Apr 2004 10:33am

Nu metal

It's a lot like disco actually (trendly speaking) It was a really great Idea: lets take the most aggresive, driven complex and melodic music (metal) and combine it with a pop/melodic vocalist with killer pipes. Almost worked except the record companies thought it was important to dumb down the music for the masses + the vocals are about as deep and interesting as a child's nursery rhyme.

See now even old metal guys can disagree I think Megadeth had one all right album and the rest sucked ass, but thats just me. Slayer on the other hand put out a couple albums that were all right and the rest ruled. Granted, Bonded By Blood changed my musical tastes forever and after that Exodus fell off the edge of the music world. Nu-metal is a whole different thing it's hard to even judge it cause my musical tastes are so far away from that, that it just sounds like a bunch of garbage to me but who am I to judge somebody elses tastes. Who knows against all odds maybe they might not like a.w.t....... I know it sounds almost unbelievable but it could happen I guess. - Sat, 1 May 2004 9:10am

Matt, you have no idea what you're talking about. Just stop.

Anyways, onto the topic on hand...nu-metal is being replaced by screamo. Which to me is essentially the exact same thing. Whiny lyrics, shitty riffs, an alternation between singing and screaming, ignorant attitudes and general fans in the range of grade 8 and 9. Nu-metal isn't a genre, really, it's a continuing rape of music that needs to be put to an end. I mean just look right after Nickelback came out, it basically killed this whole rap-metal stage of nu-metal and brough in a "rock" one. This of course flopped hilariously. Now we see Ozzfest 2004 with the line-up being 85% screamo crap.

Get with the times nu-metal fans, you're "genre" is just raping that which has already been created. - Mon, 10 May 2004 10:22am

"Matt, you have no idea what you're talking about. Just stop."

You're right, it's tr00...

"...shitty riffs, ...ignorant attitudes"

Wow. Good one. Actually Nik, last time I checked, Mitochondrion sounded like a nu-metal band with deathmetal vocals and faster drumming. Ignorant attitudes? Sounds like you suffer from the same problem.

"Nu-metal isn't a genre, really"

Ohhhhh fancy.

"it's a continuing rape of music that needs to be put to an end."

Yes, nu-metal is raping everything. Those assholes!

"I mean just look right after Nickelback came out, it basically killed this whole rap-metal stage of nu-metal and brough in a "rock" one. This of course flopped hilariously. Now we see Ozzfest 2004 with the line-up being 85% screamo crap."

I agree.

"Get with the times nu-metal fans, you're 'genre' is just raping that which has already been created."

If you want to get technical about it, how is deathmetal not a "rape" of the metal that came before it? Music evolves and changes, that's what keeps it exciting.
Now, I'm not totally disagreeing with you, as I have never been a fan of rap-metal, but the fact is, most music sucks, and every genre ends up being loved by some, and hated by others. I think it's very ironic that people who dislike and call numetal "whiny" are the ones who end up "whining" about everything. Shut up already. Music is music. I am forced to listen to pop music (I personally don't care for pop) at work, but do I whine about it? No.
So here's the deal:
Nu metal haters: shut up, your opinion doesn't matter.
Nu metal lovers: shut up, your opinion doesn't matter. - Mon, 10 May 2004 11:21am

Hold on there just a minute. I don't want to start any kind of feud here Matt . . . but resorting to petty band slagging is pretty lame if you ask me. You can't take every criticism of nu-metal as a personal attack especially when it comes from my main man Nik. Chill out and remember when you slag a band you are slagging ALL individuals' efforts not just ONE. Boy, this takes me back to our Korn covering Metallica debate.

Another brilliant comment from the resident 17-year old pseudo-intellectual.

And as for you Shawn, I wasn't slagging your band. What the fuck is wrong with you people? I merely mentioned a few similarities between Mitochondrion and "nu metal."
Riff-wise, they are very similar. Oh no, what a horrible thing. I happen to like the riffs in your song.

I don't take any criticism of nu-metal as a personal attack. I don't call myself a "nu-metal" fan, as I don't listen to rap metal.

The fact is, music is an opinion, not a stupid pissing contest.

As for "Gi" : I make it my personal duty to knock any stupid term, Gi is like the blackmetal version of "wiggidy whack" or "holmes." Using esoteric terms is stupid. It's like swearing at somebody in a foreign language. - Mon, 10 May 2004 2:52pm

Dear Matt,

As Mitochondrion's guitarist, i am very curious as to which songs of ours contain "nu-metal" riffs, as you seem to be so knowledgeable on the subject. I am also curious to know whether you have seen us live, or listened to the one mp3 on our website (currently down) to have come to this conclusion. Another thing, the only classified "nu-metal" band that really has had any influence on me is the deftones, and i consider them not a metal band at all (i find them more just an heavy alternitive rock band). In the spirit of the whole nu-metal debate, could you list some good nu-metal bands for us, or at least me?

Mitochondrion: Leave the kid alone and start doing something productive like climbing a tree, curing a disease, or finding Waldo�that sneaky fuck.
