 Posted: Wed Aug 16, 2006 3:07 am Post subject: Where it came from |
 |
|
I remmeber reading somewhere that Faith No Mores angel Dust was the inspiration for Nu Metal. If this is the case it makes me sick.. I suppose im a bit of a metal snob - I have and never will like Nu Metal, and Angel Dust is my favourite album.. So Im torn - I can see where the arguement came from, and people like Korn all state heavy influence from FNM... what do people think? Any other places Nu Metal came from?

Good question.
I have to admit that I'm a bit of a metal snob too, and tend to steer clear of nu metal (except for one or two bands).
However, I do really like Faith No More....
What catagory would you place Rage Against The Machine in? I think more than a few Nu Metal bands were influenced by them...

| I think RATM was the first of its kind, political rap metal. Basically they created a new sound I had not heard before - maybe this was the start of bringing rap to metal in a popular way. I mean it has been done years before - but not to this degree.. But as for catagorising them? Well split Nu Metal into New Metal (not shit) and Nu Metal (shit) and they go in the first |

| I remember seeing them in brixton on the first album tour.... The fact there were no black people except Bodycount , actually made me feel weird. I hoped bodycound would be the start of crossing genres and mixing fans and creeds more. but no - metal for white kids. depressed me.. heres hoping their comeback is of the 1st albums standards - cheesy stupid and fun |

It's a real shame that music (expecially metal) can be so racially divided

| As the forums Nu-metal fan (Yes I like metal also) I'd say thay had a huuuge Influence on the genre. The impact thay have had on bands like Korn, System of a Down,Rage Against the Machine Ect... Had a huge impact! |

Blame Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit for killing the genre though ay! They brought to much video based promotion into the bargain!
