Due to popular demand, good Nu Metal thread.

We'll all be at this I presume?

[Necro Red]

Might go to see Spineshank. I bought one of their albums when I was a young lad. Tick them off the list I guess. Not that I actively listen to either band. Seen Drowning Pool at Ozzfest many a moon ago.

[Carnage]

I bought The Height Of Callousness at the time. Gave it a few spins but it didn't really hold my interest. Never paid any attention to Drowning Pool, were they the one with Johnathan Davis' brother singing?

Same with that CD. Few decent songs but nothing particularly amazing. You are thinking of Adema  ironically the singer of Drowning Pool died drowning in a pool of his own vomit.

I picked up the Drowning Pool album with Bodies on it, and even at the height of my teenage numetal phase I thought it was shite

Height of Callousness I thought was great  so that'll be cool to see. Their debut is possibly the worst album I own though, and I've a fair bit of crap in the collection!

[Eoin McLove]

Is that "Let the bodies hit the floor"? I heard that back then somehow. Scutter.

[Carnage]

Aye, still turns up in action/sport montages on telly the odd time.

Adema, another one I (obviously) paid no attention to.

[Ducky]

How come we're not talking about (Hed)PE being on the bill too?   

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I hadn't even noticed that.

[Carnage]

No loss, they were awful shite from what I remember. One remix I liked for some reason, that was it:

[Necro Red]

So, lads. Who do you think are the Big 4 of Nu-Metal? I'll go with
Limp Bizkit
Slipknot
Korn
Linkin Park
 So many bands jumped on the band wagan and jumped back off, Machine Head, Fear Factory etc

[Eoin McLove]

Korn
Deftones
SOAD
Eh...ehhhh... Defenesftration 

[Giggles]

Are we talking about who have been the 4 most commercially successful, or are we talking about our 4 personal favourites?

let's go with personal favorites sure

[Trev]

Bit hard to think of really, there were some bands lumped in that I never really considered numetal but were just around at the time, or from the same places. Kind of like the Seattle/grunge scene, fair difference between Nirvana, AiC,and Pearl Jam but they're all viewed under the same umbrella

Anyway, if I had to pick four it'd probably be

Korn
Limp Bizkit
Slipknot
SOAD

Could easily make the case for Linkin Park and Deftones too, and if it was personal favourites I'd throw Static X in there
