so, powerman 5000 vs rob zombie.powerman 5000 even did a reversion of robs big track i.e. "more human" vs "how to be human"any other examples of such nepotism in the world of industrial/nu-metal ?

the only thing I found more execrable than nu-metal by the time I left high school was post-grunge btw.
it was everywhereeeeeeeeeeeeeee

linkin park being called a nu-metal boyband upthread rankled a little because you know who was absolutely stylized as a nu-metal boyband? adema

i will say if you completely ignore the lyrics that song i just posted is a jam, love the high guitar harmonics
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 26 February 2021 22:16 (three years ago) link
what's funny is how comparably terrible the musicianship was with nu-metal. obviously you had Limp Bizkit, which had jazz musicians playing the music, and Korn, but some of the clones could barely play their instruments. sure, you could make the claim of like, Nirvana, but Kurt made his amateurish guitar playing interesting, using voicings and riff-stylings that most trained musicians couldn't dream up.
whereas metalcore, which I also don't like (almost as much as nu-metal), almost every band has pretty tight musicianship, some filled with virtuoso musicians

― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 26 February 2021 22:58 (three years ago) link
yes that is true. Slipknot had more death metally beginnings (from what I've been told, I never did hear Mate Feed Kill Repeat).
― Red Nerussi (Neanderthal), Friday, 26 February 2021 22:58 (three years ago) link
xpost bands like Skrape are who I'm thinking of
the knockoff bands inspired a lot of people who had been playing guitar for ten minutes to form a band.
never forget the local nu-metal concert I went to where one of the bands (Grumpy) was lip synching, and the vocalist wasn't even within ten feet of the microphone. the headliner (Deroot) had their sole guitar player get angry at his guitar and throw it across the stage, and the sound of guitar continued, meaning hew as faintly playing over a loud backing track.
― Red Nerussi (Neanderthal), Friday, 26 February 2021 22:59 (three years ago) link

linkin park vs dubstep/edm (recharged)korn vs dubstep (path of totality)
― mark e, Saturday, 27 February 2021 20:43 (three years ago) link
recharged is substantially less good than path of totality. that is pretty easily my least favorite era of linkin park though
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 27 February 2021 20:50 (three years ago) link
i suspected that would be the case.POT really is next level.however, i do like LP and both of their remix albums have some amazing tracks.
― mark e, Saturday, 27 February 2021 20:54 (three years ago) link
reanimation is def one of the best remix albums of all time
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 27 February 2021 20:57 (three years ago) link
absolutely.many years back i used to be very anti-LP cos i was an arse, but somehow i ended up winning their catalogue from the playlouder crew (up to their 'live in texas cd/dvd release).it was reanimation that made me flip and become a fanboy.

I kinda began to miss the clenched teeth vocal style that Jonathan employed on the first album and started to cede more and more to the nasal singing voice.
― Red Nerussi (Neanderthal), Sunday, 28 February 2021 16:58 (three years ago) link
makes sense. i got into them through follow the leader so actually had to adjust to the vocal style on the first two lol
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Sunday, 28 February 2021 17:01 (three years ago) link
I learned of them shortly after the s/t came out, as the kid that sat next to me in Spanish class handed me his walkman and said LISTEN TO THIS MAAAAAAAN.
with that kid sitting next to me, it's no wonder my A dropped to a B that year. so distracting.

do Crazy Town fit here? "Butterfly" is definitely nu-metal adjacent at least

― Gavin, Leeds, Tuesday, 2 March 2021 17:22 (three years ago) link
"Butterfly" came during a glut of "rappers whose raps sound like high school poems for their crush", who weren't part of the hip-hop scene, but were either fronting nu-metal bands, creating pop records, or creating nonsense nobody wanted to hear but got played 24/7 anyway
