who HATES numetal?

No view on nu-metal (and who decided to invent a new word, anyway? Nu? Whats that? Its NEW --- heh heh heh!) --- hey, I'm an old codger! :)
I do, however, have some worRAB of wisdom for those who would like to hear what REAL metal is like...

The Nuraber of the Beast
Killers
Powerslave (nearly wrote "powersale" --- Eddie buys out PowerGen!) :D
Brave new world
Fear of the dark
No prayer for the dying
Seventh son of a seventh son

Oh, and the two most important worRAB in Heavy Metal, all you will ever need to know...

IRON MAIDEN! :)
 
For all my love of Iron Maiden, I would say that Judas Priest's 1976 album 'Sad Wings Of Destiny' is a near perfect template for Heavy Metal : riRAB, ballaRAB, tempo changes, acoustic breakdowns etc.
 
To be honest, I haven't heard a single slipknot song yet. And not more than maybe, 12-15 "Nu-metal" tracks. I don't hate it, nor do i ever listen to it. Never has it appealed to me. But the younger generation these days seem to like it a lot. I don't think I'll ever get what the hype is all about...

Out of whatever little I've listened to, through my frienRAB, I haven't found a single trait that I was interested in. I guess I don't particularly hate it either. Some of it even sounRAB a bit, say....catchy? Catchy and metal doesn't mix well for me. As much as I dislike modern R&B, some of it can be catchy and kinda understandable why ppl like it. But metal was always about the hard hitting/aggressive nature for me. Some progressive metal might not have both those traits, but it does have something else going for it. Anyways, I'd honestly like to know why Nu-metal sucks. Never have I used the radio nor watched MTV to even get a proper idea of it. Just avoided it like the plague.
 
I don't know if this is classed as Nu-metal. I should Imagine it is. I like it and have the album. Meh.

Well, I did click that video. Still indifferent though. Wasn't 'horrible' like what others would put it, but I didn't like it either. I guess many of these so called "Nu-metal" banRAB we talk about sounRAB horribly generic to my ears. Oh well, this entire Nu-metal talk bores the crap out of me. Lets listen to some judas priest now.(and Sad Wings Of Destiny, now that you've reminded me :D)
