Fun Stuff > BAND
You think you know Metal?
Revenge_Therapist:
Yeah Nerosis. Sorry spelling and aren't getting along today.
I always thought of Slipknot as the metal version of Blink 182.
Does that make Metallica the metal version of Green Day?
KharBevNor:
Nah, Metallica were once pretty good.
Slipknot =/= Metal, but I will admit that it's not by much. If they were really obscure, popular opinion would probably lump them as metal. They are definitely the most metal nu-metal band, mainly seemingly by Joey Jordison's influence, though what I've heard of their latest album is whiny, trend-whore faux-emo crap.
Man, as fucking annoying as it was at the time, when you look back, wasn't nu-metal such a better trend than emo?
Revenge_Therapist:
I don't know this emo trend annoys me more becuase it's not even emo. It's pop punk about girls, and they called it emo. Really pisses me off considering the label meant hardcore bands that sang. Rites of Spring, Fugazi, Nation Of Ulysses, and the rest of mid 80's D.C. stuff.
Hey Green Day was once good listen to Kerplunk. They wrote pretty good stuff. they even still kinda do. They just spend way too much time trying to look punk rock.
KharBevNor:
That definition of emo is something clung to desperately by a decreasing few that bears little relevance to what most people discuss as emo. But I know what you mean.
Not that I like that stuff either.
I've heard lots of old Greenday, I have a friend who was in to them way before they got big over here. I never liked them, but American Idiot and Boulevard of Broken Dreams have made me totally hate them.
a pack of wolves:
I wouldn't say it was a decreasing few, there are probably as many hardcore kids knocking about as there ever was and the number of emo/screamo bands about seems to have been going up at late. There's some quality stuff coming out of continental Europe these days like La Quiete, and there seems to be a bit of a screamo resurgence in the UK too with the likes of Mock Heroic, Yossarian Is Drowning and We Are Corpses!! doing the rounds.
But yeah, nu-metal was much better than this fake-emo crap. At least some of that was fun, all this pop-punk, pop-rock and hideous distortions of metal business is just boring.
