That's the big damn mistake, people are so quick to generalize a whole group of bands and give them into a particular genre. "nu-metal" is the bullshit like limp bizkit(R.I.P.), Linkin Park, and P.O.D. It will be a beautiful thing when these pathetic bags of shit die off along with the boy and girl bands

Cheers

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR come here little LAMB!!!

You did forget one rule, where you place it in your top 10, now 11, I don't care but you must add it:

**No soloing**

The reason Limp Bizkit went around to all the Guitar Centers looking for a new guitarist, please..., with a sign that says "No solos" is because they SUCK and don't want anyone better than them musically in the band. I'll do one better by lumping all that other garbage in there too, it all SUCKS! Sure some of it's catchy and has a good hook but you wont be hearing from any of these jackasses by 2005, nor will you be regalled by tails of how mighty these bands were or how influential they are on todays music by then. It's garbage and will be mowed over by the next round of angst-ridden suburban boys who's lives are "all fucked up" and are looking for that special something to identify with instead of just getting over it.

Real metal is where it's at and it's a big fat shame that it has to be the roots of these talentless hacks. Trivia: Did you know a couple folks from Disturbed are actually from the Glam days in L.A.? That ought to tell you a little something about the formula and how it works, (http://www.metal-sludge.com/ExposedDisturbed.htm). Weak. Have fun with your hacks. I'll go listen to some real musicians and stop whining about mommy not paying me enough attention. Up the Irons! \m/

This site isn't a "nu-metal" bashing site, it's just telling the truth. And by the way, it's called MALLCORE, not nu-metal, because there's nothing new or metal about it. It's HARDCORE rock, and very simplistic hardcore at that. Take Slipknot for example. Simple 3 chord , mid-paced, repetitve power chording. No lead play, no solos. No real speed or any sign of tight, fast palm muting. The rhythm play doesn't take prominace, it just chording along with the bass. These mallcore bands have shit-all metal criteria. They only got called metal because of the downtuning. That may make it heavy, but it takes more than heaviness to make metal.

So to all the mallcorians out there who are angry at their parents - suck my wad. I'll bet most of you misinformed losers bought your Slipknot and Korn t-shirts BEFORE you got their CDs! Image doesn't matter shit people, it's about artistic merit, and mallcore has zero artistic merit. Corey Taylor and Johnathon Davies are LAUGHING at you! They got your money, and you got their worthless distorted pop music. HA! I'm laughing at you!

Cheers =) This site kicks ass man

I'll translate this for you:= "You are veeeeeeeery stupid!!! Retards!!! Where do you think you're going being a fan of that crappy band? And you say Fred Durst makes easy music? Those shitty retards who are famous only because of their fucking crappy look and everyone following them as sheeps because they are the new thing. That's a pity." I know it doesn't make much sense but original spanish didn't either. BTW i love your site.

Oh and by the way, nu-metal is an old phrase that just recently became popular in order to categorize these little faggot bands into a genre of music that made them sound cool. And slipknot is a metal band with meaningful lyrics and actual angst. The same with Mudvayne. I actually got to talk to Rhyno from Mudvayne, and ! they are all intelligent and have problems that they try to extinguish with hard music. I have to admit that the costumes are gimmicky and I can remember when Slipknot did't wear masks ( even though they choose to do so as a statement). Well, there's my two cents.

Although I also must say that Slipknot is far better than all that nu-metal shit. Actually, it can be called the ONLY NU METAL BAND. It's the only band that plays a kind of metal, some sort of death metal in fact. The double bass, the vocals, the guitars.... their 2nd album is the best, I must tell. Their self-titled debut was, apart from some hits, just some commercial bullshit. Their 2nd album, IOWA, is very good death metal apart from some silly elements. If you wanna hear some real metal, try Dimmu Borgir, Children of Bodom, Dark Funeral, Immortal, Metallica of course, Iron Maiden.....A European Metalhead

Nu-Metal is very much a fad, and I for one cant wait until it has washed onto the shores of forgotten cock rock. If you really want to listen to good hard music, check out some underground metal bands, like Dying Fetus, Soilent Green, Dimmu Borgir, Deicide, Hypocrisy, or Jungle Rot. Lets be honest with ourselves, for once in our lives any way. Good hard heavy music is just not going to be main stream these days, so cut the crap, stop buying the garbage, and listen to some better metal. To be honest, I dont know how much more of this slipknot mass marketing nu metal shit I can take, so please dont make me do something we would both regret, and drop this nu metal shit now, once and for all. Thank you - A REAL METAL HEAD

[After I replied asking those fault it was.....] I apologize if it sounds as if it is your fault, it is just years of teaching guitar, have made me bitter, to say the least. You have a good thing going, with your Anti Nu Metal web page, and I appreciate you giving me a place to vent my frustraightion.

Thank you, Metal

Fuck You- JOE HAYES AND JUSTIN WILLEY(guitarist) of Michigan based band, CRYPTIK!

[This next e-mail has to be my favourite e-mail of all time. I love the way Fred Durst is "Beloved" and I found out today I'm a "slopping fagweed"]

And finally the longest e-mail I've received.

From "Purity515_666"

First of all you don't know shit! The members of Slipknot are gods.

1)On the masks:

They're all about the music, fuck what you look like, it don't matter! To whoever wrote this fucking article, your probably a stupid fuckin computer geek with dumbass glasses and suspenders. Do i give a shit, no! The masks tell you more about the members than they could themselves.

2)On haveing nine members:

Nine people. An orchestra have way over nine people lets rank on them eh? All nine people in the band contribute to the music it's basicaly a kick-ass version of an orchestra. Asshole

3)Slipknots guitarists(Mick Thompson, and James Root) are both gods of guitar. Sure there no fucking Jmmi Hendrix, but listen to all new good metal out there it's all pretty easy shit. I play guitar. Whatever you think about the skill level of the guitars if shit. It's hardcore and fast, i'd like to see your ass playing it. And the bassist (Paul Gray) is one sic motherfucker at the bass. Fucker!

4)On haveing a DJ:

The DJ (Sid Wilson) is one fast fucker at scratching. Plus he's in a godly metal band not sum hip-hop teen bop type of shit. He adds just another notch to the Slipknot (Sicness). It's an important quality, all the members are important.

5)On the drummer:

Dude you don't know shit! Joey Jordison is the fastest drumer ever he has complete rythme and can play better then any drummer I've ever seen. he's the core, the cement of the band. He lays everything down for all the other guys he's the new idea of each song. Jackass

6)On the music

What the fuck does the length of the songs have to do with anything in the first place! And secondly, maybe if you listened to more then 1 or 2 songs you would relized there all different lengths dumbass... try listening to the shit before you fuckin judge them.

7)On producer Ross Robinson:

Okay one question.

"get Ross Robinson to produce said noise."

What the fuck does that mean? said noise eh? This though probably is the only thing i agree with you with... Ross Robinson is "hailed as a masterpiece." because he is a great producer plus a kickass dude.

8)On the interviews:

Fuck, Fuckity Fuck Fuck Fuck! Who gives a FUCK if they swear every FUCKING sentence. And what the FUCK do you mean by that homeboy FUCKING shit anyways. Just cause there FUCKING kickass doesn't mean "Oohh, well i hate my parents and I hope they die" What the FUCK does there home life have to do with you anyways you FUCKING idiot.

9)On the concerts:

I've never seen them beat eachother with "cow heads" or even heard of it. Whatever sick demented wet dream you have about beting people over the head with cow heads has nothing to do with Slipknot at all.

10)On my opinion:

You really shouldn't go around posting a site talkin shit about something you have no clue about. If this is how you get your kicks in life( running around acting like an asshole) I hope somebody fucking kicks there foot straight into your big fat fucking mouth back. Once again stop talking shit about something you have no clue about. In the great words of Slipknot

"Fuck it all, Fuck this world, Fuck everything that you stand for*, Don't belong, Don't exist, Don't give a shit*, Don't ever judge me*"

Will use your template ;)

Dear Stupid (sic) Webmaster

I would just like to:
Tell you that Nu-Metal suck BUT not all band suck as much as other, some are good, personnaly I like Slipknot (not all their song but about a dozen), I also like Papa Roach because there like smooth. But, I hate some other, like Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit and other shit like that.

Because:
I just think you're generalising, some nu-metal groups release good song Adema sucks but they have <U>A</u> good song (Givin In which i like and i dont know why). Personaly I think your site is funny and i'm about 85% agreeing with you. I just want to tell my opinion.

In fact i'm not in a bad mood :P

You just dissed [insert poppy nu-metal band name] and it's important EVERYONE must love them too.

As long as u dont bitch In Flames or good black metal band i will be on ur side ;)

You give probably love boy-band crap like [insert pop band name]

No one like boy band....

Let's see... you have no idea what you're talking about

You can't have no idea about what your talking about if your talking about it.

I'm living in the past and I don't want to acknowledge that the music I listen to is dated and crap

He! Ozzy still good :OD and Iron Maiden sometimes to calm down help a lot

I want to impress others with the fact I listen to less-popular bands therefore I am superior to you

Still don't understand that, drugs are bad...

Will say, in which categorie will you put this e-mail? Djjee :OD
