- 23 Dec 03: I am a huge nu-metal fan, my fav. band being
korn, and i disagree with a lot of what you guys said!!
2. "Rip," "Suck," and "Rule"
are the best descriptions you can come up with for music.
-what can you come up with?
4. You think Korn is a metal band.
- y arent they? where do u think "nu-metal" comes from?
why do u think they won a grammy for best metal performance in
2002?
6. You think "Eighties Metal" refers to Motley Crue,
Bon Jovi, and Poison.
-then what is 80s metal? this stuff did exist in the 80s!
7. You call yourself a metal fan, but when someone mentions
Tom G.Warrior you just get a confused look on your face.
-then who is he smart ass! we're not fucking stupid, we know
where our music fucking comes from!
8. You're white, yet you wear really baggy clothes and try
to come off as being hardcore.
-its a style for us, all genres of music have their own clothing
styles!
10. You call people "fags" and "pieces of muthafuckin'
shit."
-so do a lot of people
11. You assume that if someone doesn't like Slipknot, they
must listen to "pussy stuff like N'sync".
- no we dont, we're not quick to judge like everyone thinks we
are. a lot of people in to rap and hip hop make fun of my music,
and yet make fun of n'sync, backstreetboys, etc.
12. You claim to like heavy metal, yet can't name any German
thrash bands.
- email me back and name some! oh yeah, how bout rammstein
14. You own a Dr. Suess hat.
-where the fuck did this come from?
15. You think "goth" means Marilyn Manson.
- is he full goth, no, i agree w/ you on that. however, is he
freaky and bizarre enough to be considered goth to a certain
degree, then yes.
18. You'd just die if Jonathan Davis touched you!
-no, i would not die, i would be very happy and i would never
forget the moment. anyone would feel the same way with their
favourite band.
19. You think black metal bands are trying to copy KISS with
their image.
-in a way, yes.
20. You say things like, "Korn rulz and always will!
If u dun like them you sux!"
-no, i say korn rulz, i'm not judgmental like you are.
21. You're under 20 years old and claim to like "extreme
music."
-under 20, yes. is our music extreme, yes. every genre of rock
music is considered extreme until a certain point. take the Beatles
for example, they were considered rebellioius, but if you listen
to them now in 2003, their not!
22. You think the cops probably want to steal your pot.
-dont smoke pot, dont know.
23. Your music collection consists of less than 100 items.
Most or all of these names appear in your collection: Korn, Taproot,
Limp Bizkit, Fear Factory, Machine Head, Coal Chamber, System
Of A Down, Downset, Soulfly, Pantera, Mudvayne, and Static-X.
-i'm 15 years old, and i dont own all of these people. i'm sure
when you were 15, you didnt own over 100 items of music.
24. You say some rap is good.
-some rap is good! whats wrong with liking more than one genre
of music. plus nu-metal contains some rap lyrics and beats.
25. You love Incubus and don't know that there was once a
Florida thrash metal band by the same name.
- i dont love incubus, and that florida incubus wasnt more than
a fucking cult band!
29. You think Korn "revitalized heavy metal", even
though the band themselves want to be disassociated with the
genre.
-they did revitalize metal music! them and the deftones started
the whole nu-metal genre! and just because they tried to be disassociated
with the genre, dosent mean that they cant change it in any way,
even not on purpose!
31. You have covered the back of your car in stickers, including
at least one anarchy symbol, and one alien.
-dont have a car
32. You think death metal is Satanic.
- some of it is
33. You think that by dressing, looking and talking like every
other Mallcore simpleton that you're showing your individuality
and expressing your uniqueness.
-meh, what can you do.
34. You think Fear Factory keeps getting better on every album.
-some of their albums have been better than the previous one.
35. You don't realize that Pantera ripped off Exhorder after
deciding to cease and desist with glam.
-why wasnt exhorder as popular and successful as Pantera then.
36. You think that Metallica is good for a bunch of old geezers
and Reload rocks!!
-where do u think nu-metal originally comes from! we dont think
that its for a bunch of geezers. and reload does rock.
37. You consider the black album "old Metallica".
-ride the lightning
38. You think that Roadrunner is an underground label.
-it used to be
39. Best Buy meets all of your music needs.
-my dad found a lot of his rolling stones and beatles stuff there
re-released on CD.
40. You think you're on the cutting edge of music after seeing
such "obscure" bands as Mushroomhead, Taproot, and
Drowning Pool.
-they are in a way, obscure and unpopular, considering that drowning
pool no longer exists after the frontman's death.
42. You never experienced the torture of "Headbangers'
Ball" - sitting through 2 hours and 50 minutes of White
Lion, Extreme, Enuff Z Nuff and Poison to see a Kreator video.
-i wouldnt know, considering the fact that i live in Canada,
and the rock they show on muchmusic consists of good charlotte,
simple plan, and avril lavigne, so i dont have a chance to view
HeadBanger's ball
44. You actually like Staind. Enough to buy it on CD. Enough
to see them live. Enough to wear one of their shirts in public.
-whats wrong with staind, just like ne other nu-metal band, with
tshirts and CDs that sell.
45. You say you hate the government yet can't name more than
five people who actually work in the government, and one of those
people is your aunt Irene that works at the DMV.
-gov't dosent quite interest me yet, i have no opinion.
46. You don't find this rant amusing in the slightest.
-no not really!
47. You think your backpack goes nicely with your backwards
baseball cap.
-once again, not true.
49. You say things like "Korn are heavier than Iron Maiden
or Judas Priest EVER were".
-they are, even ask fans of iron maiden and Judas Priest. i have
many iron maiden songs on kazaa. try listening to iron maiden
for 30 mins straight, then listen to korn for 30 mins. straight.
53. You think Slipknot is "The heaviest fucking band
on earth, EVER. Nothing could top that, dude."
-they are pretty heavy, but not heaviest ever.
54. You think Linkin Park mosh pits are "violent."
-never been in a LP mosh pit.
55. Your parents hate your look but buy you your ridiculous
clothes anyway because your broke ass won't.
-our clothes arent ridiculous, and every kid has their clothes
bought by their parents.
58. You look like Fred Durst.
-nope
59. You wear a red baseball cap that's somewhat furry.
-nope
60. You look like Eminem and actually think he's kEwL.
-eminem's a fucking loser!
61. You know every lyric to all of Eminem's albums.
-know buddy!
62. Before the Black Album got huge, you called Metallica
"worship-Satan, kill-your-mother, rape-your-sister shit."
-i was 3 yrs old when the black album was released.
63. Hot Topic, Aeropostale and Gadzooks meet all of your clothing
needs.
-dont have those in canada, we got west 49 and boathouse up north.
64. You actually think Kid Rock is worth your spending money
on.
-devil without a cause was worth buying
65. When somebody mentions metal, you think Papa Roach instead
of Motorhead.
-no, when someone metions NU-metal
66. You've heard real metal and you don't like it.
-what is real metal to you? if ur referring to Sabbath, metallica,
led zepplin, AC/DC, then yes i do like real metal!
67. You refuse to acknowledge the fact that Slipknot's masks
are just gimmicks.
-i know that their a gimmick.
68. You think Limp Bizkit and Crazy Town are "tight."
-limp bizkit is good, crazy town fucking sux!
69. You call death metal boring but you've never actually
listened to a death metal band.
-never said shit bout death metal.
72. You dress in a gothic way, listen to stuff such as Marilyn
Manson and Korn but have the nerve to call yourself a non-conformist.
-the fuck is a non-conformist.
73. You fancy yourself as a non-conformist rebel but shrink
back in fear everytime your math teacher tells you to "knock
it off!"
74. Every time a new mallcore band pops up, you are usually
one of the first to buy their CDs at FYE, in the mall.
-meh, maybe.
75. You claim you don't like boy bands or rappers but you
hang around with most of their fans.

i like some rap
78. You say the first Coal Chamber album doesn't sound like
Korn.

84. You actually smoke pot on April 20th.
- i dont smoke pot period.
86. Your closet is full of Jncos and Korn/Slipknot/Mudvayne
shirts, all with bleach stains and holes and fringed ends.
-i wear clothes such as billabong and quiksilver, and some baggy
pants.
87. Your idea of a heavy guitar sound is an Ibanez RG7 tuned
to Z flat.

in canada. no one cares bout them up north!
101. You own a skateboard.

<truepsychophreak@yahoo.com> - 22 Dec 03: I'm a so-called
"Nu Metal" fan. I loved your site. I thought it was
hilarious. I sent it to all of my friends who are also fans of
this "genre," and they thought it was hilarious. The
only list I thought was okay was the 131 Mallcore list. It seemed
as if the person who wrote the guide (it said it was sent by
"unknown," so I don't know if it was the same person)
was more close minded than the group of people the person was
bashing. Just a thought. Other than that, great job!

<leonid_makarovsky@yahoo.com> - 18 Dec 03: What a great
site. Thanks a lot. I laughed my ass off ... especially when
reading some responses like from "Greg Darwin" <gothicbunny_666@hotmail.com>.
He writes:
6. You think "Eighties Metal" refers to Motley Crue,
Bon Jovi,and Poison.
-If some of the biggest bands in the 80's aren't "Eighties
Metal" then what is?
12. You claim to like heavy metal, yet can't name any German
thrash bands.
-Knowing obscure bands doesn't make you superior
Dude this is funny. Just FYI, German thrash metal bands like
Kreator, Destruction, Sodom are NOT obscure bands. They are *Eighties
Metal*. Obscure German eighties thrash bands would be Poison
(from Germany), Warrant (from Germany), Iron Angel, Deathrow
and many more.
>35. You don't realize that Pantera ripped off Exhorder
after deciding to cease and desist with glam.
>-Other bands before exhorder didn't have the glam to begin
with.

-Fuck yeah.
Tony Iommi would be. Ever heard of him?

"Sethix Payne"
<sethix@mail.com> - 18 Dec 03: Just finished reading
the Nu-Metal Guide section of your website (haven't gotten around
to the rest, was linked in from another site). Most of which
I found was giggle-inducing. Just a few quick comments on the
Feedback area:
"[P=S]goatslayer" <jonathanayling71@hotmail.com>
- 18 Nov 03:... People as lack-wit as this don't acutally exist
do they? You had to've written that as a joke? Right? Come ON!
Nobody is that inherently moronic.

- 17 Nov 03:
67. You refuse to acknowledge the fact that Slipknot's masks
are just gimmicks.
-I know they are. -- Yay Greg! However...What the FUCK do you
think KISS makeup is? Or Danzig's black contacts are? (No, I
don't like Danzig).
On to my own feedback!
I am a die-hard Tool fan, though I have to admit, it's *not*
metal. I don't even know how to classify...Mind-Warp? Broken-Brain?
Heh, who knows. But the fact remains, they've got some mad-ass
tracks and some lyrics to darken anyone's soul. Just the way
I like it.
I still like everything Panetra (and Down too, I guess) has
released, though they have gone 'harder' with the scream issue.
Phil seems to still beleive HARDNESS is mesured in the decibles
you produce by stripping your throat bare. Bothers me. Lyrical
content, heafty riffs, killer drum lines. That's the way, baby
(Can you say "Primal Concrete Sledge"?).
Slipkot...Honestly...Their first album was pretty mad, but
Iowa dissapointed me to no end. Anyway, I enjoyed your lists,
I needed a good laugh and agree with 99% of it. Nice to see there
are still real people out there...somewhere.
Metal is not genre...It's a way of life.
(Insert other cheesy one-liner here).
- Sean.

- 16 Dec 03: I think the "true-metal" heads are
just part of a dead trend trying to pull itself up from the rotting
pits of the rock history cemetery. Sure "nu-metal"
will eventually die and something else will emerge, that's what
music does, it evolves. I will tell you this, after nu metal
takes a backseat and fades away true metal wont be coming back,
at least not as you know it. As we speak bands like In Flames
and Shadows fall are mixing elements of both and making very
interesting music, and that's where I beleive music is heading
at the moment. And before it's all said and done with, it will
probly be just a bit more different than that even. But what
gets me is these true metal fanatic's go about ranting on how
trendy/cliche, and closed minded the nu metal fanatics are when
they are displaying the EXACT same closed mindedness, along with
at least as many trendy cliche's that accompany true metal. And
as far as I'm concerned, disecting music up into genre's is as
bad as disecting religion. Of course there have to be some acceptions
(Christianity and buddhism are obviously two different religions.
As should be recognized with say country and metal) but true
metal and nu metal both have the same roots and the same idea's,
but closed minded assholes cant recognize the qualities and talents
in either "genre" because they just cant accept the
fact that music changes, always has changed, always will change,
and that even their coveted style is either already dead, or
will die, just as everything else in exsistance. I am a drummer
in a "nu-metal" band. I have played showes with Halford,
Anal Blast, Exalta, Skull Pl8, just to name a few. I like six
feet under, lamb of God, Iced Earth, Death, Dimmu Borgir, In
Flames, Shadows Fall, SOD, Corpse, Morbid Angel, so on so forth...the
piont is I like that kind of shit, as well as nu-metal (40 below
summer, killswitchengage, mudvayne, SLIPKNOT, etc. etc.) I hate
rap, although I slightly like the way SOME of it is utilized
in rock music. I also happen to like some industrial, skinny
puppy, oghr, pigface, NIN (my #1 favorite band) I hate country.
And I realize my own closed mindedness to some music, and I agree
that it's ok to not like certain types of music, but I don't
agree with the way people go around talkin shit about everything
they dont like and beleiving they are superior in mind or talent
because they think one genre is better than another. And to point
out, I consider myself a nu-metaller (whatever you want to call
it) But I wear normal clothes, have normal brown hair, got a
9-5 job far away from hot-topic, no peircings or tattos,I dont
use my thumb or call the sign "devil horns", I do own
band shirts (I have seen just as many true metal shirts), but
thats how I support the bands I like, and I hope someday kids
will do the same for my band. And although i was offended by
some of the comments ( mainly the drummer one, I happen to take
my drumming very seriuosly) I found most of it ammusing. The
main reason I wrote is because I just want true-metal heads to
realize that nu-metal heads aren't the only closed minded cliche
trash talkers in the world, and vice versa. Later.
"Andrew"
<andrew.harris@suscom.net> - 16 Dec 03: Nu-metal needs
to die, seriously slipknot sucks why, because they have 8 members
most of them serve no point and if their drummer is should good
then why do they have 2 others. also down tuning...what the hell...my
metal band is sooo crazy we fucking tune up and we still sound
heavier than slipsuck. also to the douche that thinks slayer
are the god fathers of death metal, your an idiot you need to
read up on your heavy metal history. they arent death metal buddy..also
the same douche that said some stupid shit about knowing about
german thrash bands as obscure knowledge....no its not thats
common knowledge any true metal head should know...Kreator and
Destruction are not obscure bands...o wait they are i guess if
the only bands you like play ozzfest.....and also the godfather
of metal would be lemmy not ozzy

<webcandy2000@yahoo.com> - 16 Dec 03: Posted Comment
From your Bashing Nu Metal site -- You know, We all have a right
to speak freely about "our" opinions, Opinions are
like assholes, ya all got one. Your from the UK, or at least
Posted on a Uk site. Thanks for stero typing People, thats really
nice. I found that your Post was Humorus though, You have greatly
over looked alot of things, One not all NU Metal has anything
to do with these bands that you've mentioned. KoRn by all rights
is a great band. Shure not everybody likes them, We leave that
to them "boy" bands that no longer are with "us".
When i was growing up, My favorate band was Aerosmith, Much of
my style and play has came From them. My roots that is. I play
leads.. But not currently in a band.
However reading your post has really opened my mind up...
But sorry no matter how fake that them neat masks seem, i will
never where one, nore will i sell out to sound like anyone. I
do my own "thing" and have my "own' sound. I dont
even consider your idea of playing leads a bit funny. Have you
ever whent to a Korn concert? have you ever picked up FVtour
98? They are very impressive, and do sound much like the album
does. Shure Most of what you said on your post i agree with,
funny as that may sound the kids do take this stuff a bit extream.
And i dont like, listen or Play like any band that you've mentioned.
Slipnot and other shit sounding bands Do suck. (my opinion too)
but, Ive said sence 99 that KoRn was in fact in there own "Thing",
But again your site cracked me up about the kids stuff, and the
make up shit..yuck, Well you have a right to your opinions and
ivve expressed mine. if my view seems anywhere near readable,
as oposed to some of the crap you get let me know. Come to the
USA sometime and learn what you've been missing! ALA Bush!

<jessiaro52@hotmail.com> - 14 Dec 03: Wow! you dissed
Linkin Park, thats so new, you are as original as they are which
for me they trully are, maybe its true that they follow a pattern
to make their music but hey! for "Stupid fans" like
us it means something, they may sing about the same thing on
every track of every CD but it helps maybe not you but it helps
us, maybe you once were a fan of some band that turned the wrong
way and now you are mad at all the bands that have been on the
music scene for the last 10 years but the fact that you say its
shitty makes it true? Oh my god! he just said that Linkin Park
was shitty I got to stop liking them!! And I'm also a little
bit mad about what you said about the other bands, damn respect
the point of view of people, for me Linkin Park is family even
though I havent met them, oh I'm sorry I forgot that a band that
makes music that gives other people a reason for existence or
not killing themselves is shitty! Booho!
LadyParis777@aol.com
- 09 Dec 03: Hi, um...I'm not really commenting on anything
accept that I thought your site was hillerious and I totally
agree with just about everything you've said on it. I am actually
writing not because I am a METAL fan so to speak but b/c I have
no idea what I would be "called" to most rock fans.
i love rock music and I'm a girl ... I don't know what you call
the music I listen too. So i am wondering if someone would tell
me. I listen to a wide variety of music such as G n R, The beatles,
The Stones, The Who, zz Top, Metallica, Tool, System of a down,
King Crimson, Queen, Sublime, The tiger Lillies, Pearl Jam, Creed,
Candelbox, Chevelle, some of Ozzy's stuff, deadsy ( i'm fairly
picky with them) , Ministry--some of their stuff is good, Operation
ivy's ablum 'energy" I liked a lot and "The Transplants....oddly
enough I was never a fan of Rancid. Sorry. I don't seem to fit
in with anyone b/c i listen to such diverse stuff. I love rock
music but i dress really normal so you would prob. never guess.......no
.....you wouldn't. ha--- but anyways-- yeah i get reallly sick
of how judgmental a lot of these bands and their fans are and
it pisses me off. I don't like to be stereotyped into a category
so i just listen to what i enjoy and keep it to myself and my
close friends. But anyways--is that odd? everyone seems to think
it's really strange since those bands aren't really much a like......and
no....i really don't like limp Bizkit, korn, Slpiknot, linkin
Park, and a lot of those bands. I don't consider writing a thousand
songs about how sucky your life is, how you like to cut your
arms up and "bash my face into a mirror" and how daddy
will never accept me and was never a father to me ... I don't
think that's talent i think that's just putting your dumb head
in the right place ( or wrong place in my opinion) to sell lots
and lots of c.d's. Well, bye anyway~ Sarah

<RammRoach@hotmail.com> - 06 Dec 03: writing all the
way from india folks.first things first!this review or article
is not humorous at all in fact i want to kill myself when i see
the errors youve comitted.you think is metallica is metal eh
thinka again.metallica look like a bunch of goo goo dolls next
to megadeth and children of bodom.oh yeah and ill frankly say
it black sabbath just suck except for a few songs so i dont know
why everybody keeps fussing about them.
i guess you like the days when the beast ruled the stage with
an iron fist alongside judas priest,damn yankees,ac/dc,megadeth,etc..
well we all did! but those days are gone now and you just have
to change with time or youll get yourself wiped out like the
dinosaurs.i mean lets face it bruce dickinson's voice has become
a low rumble,judas priest has broken up...metallica's trying
to be cool ..uh get my point.so dont be so closed up in your
shell cause thats just pathetic.
OTEPxPitBoss@aol.com
- 30 Nov 03: I am pretty amused by your site. I only listen
to 2 nu-metal bands, Otep and System Of A Down. Other than that,
I listen to real metal. I don't agree with all the facts though.
You make nu-metal fans seem like complete idiots (which in some
cases they might be.) I know a few fans of Slipknot, but they
are aware of early Slayer and Sepultura. They also don't dress
in ridiculous clothing and dye their hair a million colors. I
think you over exaggerated. I think you exaggerated about Slipknot
just recording "noise" that can be reproduced live
and on stage. This site just seems like a big waste of time because
it's not all true, it's far from the truth. I listen to all type
of metal, so do a lot of nu-metal fans. This site is still pretty
funny though, in a sense that it's not true. Have a nice life.

INFiDEL6sic6@aol.com
- 22 Nov 03: I have to say, your lists of mallcore rules
and nu-metal band rules are quite entertaining and I laughed
my ass off through them. Of course, and I'm sure you saw it coming,
the only argument is the constant disgust for Slipknot that is
displayed. I will defend them to the fullest, and at the same
time, agree with a lot of the points you have made. If you are
going to insist on calling them unoriginal, at least don't call
them nu-metal. Just because they emerged on roadrunner along
with some really horrible fucking music (noise), they are definitely
of the real metal bands out there. Anyone who says they are the
heaviest are usually a bunch a pussies who refuse to broaden
their minds (much like christians). The attacks on Slipknot are
my only problems with the lists. Keep up the good work.
also - If Cradle of Filth isn't Black metal, what the hell are
they then? And don't give me some blatantly retarded answer like
I should have known it. Some people don't educate themselves
with music they don't listen to. I, at least, have the decency
to know how to associate certain styles of music. hardcore, grindcore,
thrash, speed, death, black, - it's all fucking metal. quit trying
to 1 up everyone like you're some kind of genius because you
know what "type" of label some magazine gave the band
you like. You're no better.

the musicians as people put into their work instead of slaggin

your "131 ways to tell if you're mallcore"
1. Your hair is dyed a color that doesn't appear naturally
in humans, and you think tattoos and piercings are "sexy."
-That look's about as overdone as the denim leather & long
wavy hair look.
4. You think Korn is a metal band.
-Well, they are. Crappy metal, but metal nonetheless.
6. You think "Eighties Metal" refers to Motley Crue,
Bon Jovi,and Poison.
-If some of the biggest bands in the 80's aren't "Eighties
Metal" then what is?
12. You claim to like heavy metal, yet can't name any German
thrash bands.
-Knowing obscure bands doesn't make you superior
15. You think "goth" means Marilyn Manson.
-It doesn't. I can't stand people who get that wrong.
16. You associate "industrial" with Prodigy instead
of Skinny Puppy and Foetus.
-You forgot Ohgr. Fools
18. You'd just die if Jonathan Davis touched you!
-The guy has negative testosterone, so he drains people's masculinity
by touch. Not quite dying, but just as bad.
19. You think black metal bands are trying to copy KISS with
their image.
-Most bands do.
23. Your music collection consists of less than 100 items.
Most or all of these names appear in your collection: Korn, Taproot,
Limp Bizkit, Fear Factory, Machine Head, Coal Chamber, System
Of A Down, Downset, Soulfly,Pantera, Mudvayne, and Static-X.
-What if you just got into metal, and haven't bought many (>100)
albums yet.
25. You love Incubus and don't know that there was once a
Florida thrash metal band by the same name.
-like I said, obscure knowledge doesn't make you superior.
28. You know who Wayne Static is and think his hair is kEwL.
-So if you have standard nu-metal hair, your condemned, and if
you don't you are too?
35. You don't realize that Pantera ripped off Exhorder after
deciding to cease and desist with glam.
-Other bands before exhorder didn't have the glam to begin with.
37. You consider the black album "old Metallica".
-fuck no. Kill 'em all, and ride the lightning!
38. You think that Roadrunner is an underground label.
-used to be.
42. You never experienced the torture of "Headbangers'
Ball" - sitting through 2 hours and 50 minutes of White
Lion, Extreme, Enuff Z Nuff and Poison to see a Kreator video.
-Don't have to. As a canadian, I have to endure hours of good
charlotte, green day, and blink on Much Music, to see the occasional
slayer or lamb
of god video.
45. You say you hate the government yet can't name more than
five people who actually work in the government, and one of those
people is your aunt Irene that works at the DMV.
-Canadian or American?
46. You don't find this rant amusing in the slightest.
-it is
48. You think that the pictures of Coal Chamber are not at
all silly, goofy, ugly, or stupid. In fact, you think at least
one of the band members is really hot - even in these clothes.
In fact, you dress like this every day and your parents and/or
teachers give you a lot of grief about it.
-so, when a band goes for the limp-bizkit/rapper look, you make
fun of them, and when they go for another look, you make fun
of them too?
49. You say things like "Korn are heavier than Iron Maiden
or Judas
Priest EVER were".
-Some korn songs are heavier than iron maiden and priest. The
beginning of Embrace is much heavier than Rainmaker, or Wildest
Dream
50. You're constantly in danger of tripping over your wallet
chain.
-LOL
53. You think Slipknot is "The heaviest fucking band
on earth, EVER. Nothing could top that, dude."
-They are heavy, but not the heaviest band ever.
55. Your parents hate your look but buy you your ridiculous
clothes anyway because your broke ass won't.
-Hah. I wish.
58. You look like Fred Durst.
59. You wear a red baseball cap that's somewhat furry.
60. You look like Eminem and actually think he's kEwL.
61. You know every lyric to all of Eminem's albums.
-If any of the above were true, I'd slit a vein
63. Hot Topic, Aeropostale and Gadzooks meet all of your clothing
needs.
-Don't have those in canada.
64. You actually think Kid Rock is worth your spending money
on.
-Only to buy rotten fruit and eggs to throw at him
66. You've heard real metal and you don't like it.
-I have, and I like it.
67. You refuse to acknowledge the fact that Slipknot's masks
are just gimmicks.
-I know they are.
72. You dress in a gothic way, listen to stuff such as Marilyn
Manson and Korn but have the nerve to call yourself a non-conformist.
-I know people like that.
75. You claim you don't like boy bands or rappers but you
hang around with most of their fans.
-It's possible to be someone's friend even if they like something
you hate.
80. You say Hot Topic isn't a trendy store.
-No idea.
87. Your idea of a heavy guitar sound is an Ibanez RG7 tuned
to Z flat.
-Don't play guitar, don't know
89. You use your index, pinky AND thumb when making the metal
salute.
-horrible. People who do this should be shot.
94. You think of Cold as being emotional.
-They are, sort of.
96. You think Cradle Of Filth is black metal.
-Then what are they? R&B?
98. You really think Marilyn Manson mames animals on stage.
-Maim you asshole, not mame. If your going to criticize for incorrect
spelling, try to spell correctly yourself.
101. You own a skateboard.
-Since when were skateboards un-metal?
102. You think Slipknot's drummer is good because he can play
double bass.
-Joey is a great drummer for other reasons too.
104. You think every band Metal Edge Magazine mentions is
metal. Not to mention go by what bands label themselves, no matter
how false it is.
-Revolver and Circus are better magazines.
108. You think Tool is talented because they sound different
from other mallcore bands.
-They are talented. They're impossible to put into any single
genre.
110. You think no one listens to Eighties Metal anymore and
if they do, they're at least fourty years old.
-Most people I know like Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer. If they
aren't 80's metal, what is?
111. You think Chris Barnes has the "deepest voice."
-What do you mean by "the deepest voice"?
118. You think Deicide is the most Satanic band in the world.
-They are satanic. How do you measure satanicness? The "666"
count? The circle of hell they are assigned to?
119. You think Corey Taylor is "da best fuckin' metal
singer EVER."
-He's not.
120. You think Slayer are the godfathers of "death metal."
-Well, who is then?
124. You would cream yourself if Ozzy autographed your copy
of the Reunion CD.
-Wouldn't you? It's Ozzy!
126. You think Ozzy is the godfather of all metal.
-Fuck yeah.
128. You think "666" is a Satanic symbol.
-Read the book of revelations. It was also Aleister Crowley's
personal number
130. You've never heard 80s Sepultura.
-I have. It's great!
I agree with some of the things you said, but being a big
Slipknot fan, I had to defend my honour. Limp Bizkit, Linkin
Park, and many other bands
do suck, but categorizing all 'rock' bands on major labels is
just elitism. In conclusion, eat me

<boncardo@optusnet.com.au> - 08 Nov 03: Nu Metal SUCKS
Hey Nu-Metal fans,
Your genre's days are numbered, as proper metal makes it's way
back. So wake up to yourselves put your guitars in standard tuning,
sing meaningful songs and play something remotely resembling
music. Any Nu-Metal guitarist with a problem with this can come
down and duel me!!!! You cunts can't play for shit, your drop
D riffs are piss easy and fuckin sad and your solos (if that's
what you call them) are abissmal. So once again wake up to yourselves
and listen to proper meatl bands like Maiden, Testament, Dungeon
and 80's Metallica
Death to Nu-Metal and long live thrash and power metal..............

- 04 Nov 03: What is your problem with Pantera man? Fair
enough they started off as a glam rock band but Phil came along
and said to Dime and Vinnie "Look here guys, if you wanna
get your point across you need to drop the make-up, leather and
platforms." Pantera were and still are one of THE best bands
ever. Period. Ok Phil's a bit of an asshole now but when he,
Dime, Vinnie and Rex played their music together it was heavy
as fuck and people took notice. So in future be careful which
bands you rip the piss out of cos one day it'll come round and
bite you in the ass. -- Dan Smith, England

- 31 Oct 03: I must say, I do agree with most things about
mallcore etc, such bands as Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, and, you
know what I mean. Anyway, when it comes to Slipknot, I don't
think it's just to label them as you do. First off, many Slipknot
fans claim that slipknot isn't mainstream, although I do disagree
with that. There's nothing wrong with Slipknot being mainstream,
the music is still just as good anyway, right? And, well, the
image you put on the fans of such bands as Slipknot etc, hm,
that's not quite right. Take myself for instance, I dress respectably,
even wear suits etc to school sometimes. Yet, I love Slipknot,
listen to them daily and have been doing so for the past few
years. There's no band greater than Slipknot (In my mind of course).
And also, I do listen to way older bands, as Metallica (Ride
the lightning, yum), Iron Maiden and so on and so forth. And
also, according to me, Slipknot does actually come out with quite
a unique image. Not that the image matters that much, but it's
nice to see some change now and then.
And last but not least, do not take this email as anything
offensive, I'm just letting my own opinions flow. Happened to
find your site, calm night, a bit bored, you know how it is.
I wish you good luck with your site, it sure made me laugh! --Paul
