WTF is the difference between Nu-Metal and other metal?

yes, but ALL nu-metal bands use exactly the same sounds with their guitars. EXACTLY. There is no fluctuation in the guitar sounds at all. I don't play guitar though, so who knows. All I know is they play the same chord, on the same pedal, in every song, on every cd, in every single band. It's horrible. THAT is a hugely refining difference between what metal IS and what nu-metal is. Almost as much as the hip-hop influence.

This is a song about NuMetal, download it if you can be bothered it is worth a chuckle.

The Drugs wrote: Metal v Hip Hop (from the album 'Music's In Trouble')

1 Cyprus Hill + 1 industrial drill
Do the math you're not dumb
it's a crap sounding sum
With an outcome that equals
a bunch of sad sequels
It's like mixing techno up
with The Beatles

It just doesn't go
so don't say "Hey Ho"
Because an Aussie Limp Bizkit
is a soggy Sao
I'm not sure who started
this shit genre first
But one thing's for sure
it wasn't Fred fucking Durst

So please... stop... metal...
has no place with Hip Hop

I remember Steve Tyler and Run DMC
That's why all of this shit
just sounds so old to me
It's been done it's not fun
it's passé` it's been
You're just reinventing
Rage Against The Machine
Leave Metal for the bangers;
leave Rap for the Homies
"Now Mr Durst as rehersed could you
put your cap on back to front
So the visor don't bump my tum tum
when you fucking blow me!"

So please... stop... metal...
has no place with Hip Hop

hmmm, prehaps somone who plays guitar moderatly well, or isn't me.

But i agree with somw of what your saying. i would suppose the lower end of nu-metal would possibly fit into the mocking genre title "Cookie Cutter Metal". I'm not a terribly huge fan of new music, at least not new metal.

I used to not like Slipknot because they made pretentious music. Now I don't like them because they insult good bands and call themselves Satanists, as if they even knew what the hell qualifies someone to be a satanist.

Slipknot in a nutshell.

They have nothing on bands that can back up their image
(ie: Gwar,The Berzerker)
