Funny thing is that Fear Factory (who I liked) started out as death metal and adopted industrial and techno into their music and got lumped in with the nu metal bands. Don't care for Korn, Linkin Park, Supertones and many others. Actually like Sevendust, some Disturbed, Rob Zombie (also as you said about FF, more industrial metal), Disciple, Hospital (a Christian group whose CD I got for $2), Junker Jorg, Pillar, and P.O.D. (perhaps one of my favorites, but most metal heads would beat me up for saying that). While I do like some nu-metal, I never accepted it as a true form of metal.

I pretty well ignored the entire nu-metal craze so I can't really comment one way or the other. What little I did hear did nothing for me, so I'll leave it at that.

I'm not a fan of the style, but I do like a handful of bands. Sevendust would probably be my favorite. I also like Disturbed and some old Disciple. I rarely listen to Disturbed or Disciple though. I listen to Sevendust fairly regularly. They are on my iPod for the gym.

Some of it I can take in small doses.Sevendust,System of a Down,Slipknot,Disturbed.For the most part I dont listen to much of it.

i never was one for bashing bands & styles. if i don't like something, i just won't listen to it.

Me too, all bad to me but if somebody like it, good for them.

During the Great Nu-Metal Boom of the mid-90s I was living in my first apartment with no cable TV (hence no MTV or VH1) and I never listen to anything except news on the radio, so I remained in a blissfully ignorant, nice comfy True Metal Cocoon for a number of years, sheltered from the influences of the outside music world, reading nothing but metal 'zines.

Then on the rare occasion I did hear someone talking about a popular band of the time I'd ask "Who the heck is that?" and they would say "You never heard of (so-and-so)? They sold ten million records last year!"... and I would just shrug my shoulders and say "Whatever."

I don't like a lot of this stuff, but I do like some of it. I'm more into true metal and goth/industrial/darkwave stuff.

However, over the years I've come to enjoy:

Evanescence (to me they are gothic nu metal)
Disturbed
Korn
Marilyn Manson
Slipknot

I also like some hard alternative stuff:

Nickelback
Alter Bridge
Creed

Though I do not consider this or nu metal, to be under the banner of true metal. I consider these genres as subgenres of alternative. Just me.

I don't like:

Sevendust
Insane Clown Posse
Limp Biscuit
System of a Down
Linkin Park
Alien Ant Farm
and the rest of em.

Wicked Wisdom is the only "nu-metal" I like. I guess I have an old ear.

Oh I forgot to mention Global Warning. That is probably my favorite nu metal band. They are Christians too, so their lyrics are sweet.

Pretty much the same for me, with the exception of Rob Zombie, who I never lumped in with nu-metal anyway.

With White Zombie I'd say - they were NOT nu metal.

His solo stuff is chock full of nu though.

Quick funny story about Zombie (White Zombie actually) that ties in with what I said earlier about having no idea about most "current" music in the 90s: somewhere around 95/96 I went to a show at the Roseland in NYC that was sponsored by radio station Q-104 to celebrate their anniversary (my friend won tickets) ... White Zombie was the headliner, so they were the only band I was there to see. I sat thru a bunch of other "modern rock" openers with no clue who any of them were - CIV, Spacehog, and a couple of others I can't remember. Anyway, at one point before Zombie came on some British guy comes out on stage by himself with an acoustic guitar and starts singing a song, and the place went completely APE SH*T, screaming and hollerin and jumping up and down. I sez to my friend "Wow, who the hell is this guy, everybody loves him?" and he sez "That's Gavin Rossdale, the guy from Bush." I sez "Who the hell is Bush?" and he sez "Where have you BEEN? They're like the hottest band right now." I must have been the only person in the room who had no idea who he was.

By the way, White Zombie smoked everybody that night... and I also happened to meet Joey Ramone, who was hanging out by the soundboard while W.Z. were onstage, so that made it worth sitting through all the crappy openers.

Ya think? I never thought about it, but again, I'm not familiar with the exact nuances that define nu-metal, so I can't compare. I just thought they/he was cool.

I actually like White Zombie and Rob's stuff, though it's not a fave.

Good story, FF. I wish I could be that way.

I have beef with Bush only because when they came out I had to scrap my plans for starting a band named Muff. Dang it.

I didn't like White Zombie at all when I first heard'em...I saw 'em open for Suicidal Tendencies (!) back in 1990 when W.Z. were first starting out and they were just a wall of noise on stage... I couldn't make heads or tails of what they were playing.

Ever heard any of their pre-LA SEXORCISTO albums? They're pretty god-awful, but man, when that "Thunderkiss 65" song came out it was one of the coolest things I'd heard in years.

i never ever accepted it as a form of metal but a form of hard rock that record labels tried to make cool by saying it was metal after grunge lost its popularity so after i realised that i can say i like some nu-metal but not all of it

linkin park in particular suck!

Not sure if I have. "Thunderkiss" is cool. But I've never been a huge fan myself.

Now Suicidal Tendencies ... those guys kick ASS!!! I would have loved to have seen them live!!!

Yea, they smoked back in those days. Scariest crowd I've ever been in tho. The longhairs and the skins were just beatin' the crap out of each other for the entire time. It looked like those battle scenes in "Braveheart" where the two factions would line up on opposite sides and then just run screaming into each other. I was glad to get out of there alive.

it can be a bit annoying at a show when people are like that. i almost lost my glasses at a show once cos people were being dickheads. luckily i got them off the floor before someone trod on them

ROB ZOMBIE IS DETESTABLE, along with the rest of that list.

I'm a pretty big guy (6-foot-6 and a half) so I never had much problem in mosh pits... but that Suicidal Tendencies show was outta control...!!!
