I was thinking about Tool, myself Tash. Their song are pretty long most of the time.......but too long if you know what I mean. Somtimes they are dragged out. Tool is OK, but not the greatest.

Why not Sober? That's a good tool song that doesnt drag on.

Many tool songs are good and very unusual.

Nu-metal is really not something that usually comes in the long format.

As far as rock - hell, there's a lot of long material I'd classifiy as rock that is weeelll over 6 minutes long. The classic example I always bring up (for obvious reasons) is King Crimson, which has a massive selection of such stuff. But then, it's nuovo metal, not nu-metal.

The previously-mentioned Tool is also a nice suggestion (naturally, it's the band that's musically closest to King Crimson).

Zappa has a massive selection of (mostly ridiculously funny) long songs and instrumentals, and much of the 70's progressive rock movement indulged in long opuses. You have a huge choice, lest you insist on this nu-metal thing...

meanwhile, crawling back to my limited corner of musical obscurity...

Skinny Puppy has some fast paced longer songs - Addiction and Assimilate come to mind.

Anyone mentioned "Centipede" by Strapping Young Lad? 8 minutes of kickass bombastic industrial-flavored hard rock.
