One song that you may consider yourself lucky to not remember is the flop single "Boiler" from Limp Bizkit's infamous turn of the millenium nu metal record setter Chocolate Starfish and Dick Juice, which sold 1 million copies in it's first week... yeah, people are stupid.
"Boiler" had a hugely ambitious video to match it's grating length of 7 minutes that cost over 1 million dollars to make, yet this single barely ranked on the charts for being a follow up to "Rollin'" and "My Way", as it did not hit the Hot 100 and only hit #30 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.
Rollin and My Way both got retired at 65 days (most possible) on TRL while Boiler only managed to last 14 days.
This song's sound is more comparable to Deftones or Tool than most of the idiotic, monkeys throwing feces and banging on garbage cans sound that Limp Bizkit is often suited for, but it's still fucking horrible. Fred Durst whines about relationships, crawling up butts and "WHY?!?!". Wes Borland plays his best Adam Jones ripoff riff. This goes on for seven fucking minutes. 0/10.
Lol I had that cd in 6th grade. Man Fred Durst couuld drop madd lines
> For the nookie
Gabriel Hughes
Where is that CD now?

Nu-metal: the ultimate soyboy repellent.
Benjamin Price
frick off
Wyatt Lewis
wtf this is just tool but good

Limp bizkit's rhythm section is actually great even if it is a tool ripoff or whatever. it is also very obvious that you are new here, perhaps from reddit? if so, fuck off unironically this
No, mommy, don't do it again! Don't do it again, I'll be a good boy! I'll be a good boy, I promise! No, mommy, don't hit me! Why did you have to hit me like that, mommy? Don't do it, you're hurting me! Why did you have to be such a bitch? Why don't you? Why don't you just fuck off and die? Why can't you just fuck off and die? Why can't you just leave here and die? Never stick your hand in my face again, bitch! Fuck you! I don't need this shit! You stupid, sadistic, abusive, fucking whore! How would you like to see how it feels, mommy? Here it comes, get ready to die! >You literally cant defend this
Jordan Rogers
Nah, it's great. One of the GOAT nu-metal albums.
Isaac Kelly
I wish I could like it as much as you. I can't really think of a single good song on it. Rollin' is overplayed. Hot Dog and My Generation are ok. The rest is generic and annoying. To me, the first two albums are so much better. They are much more aggressive and catchy
Juan Anderson
even when it was released at the height of nu metal popularity draiman was being widely mocked for it, especially that part
Jonathan Hernandez
The One is great.
Zachary Brown
Because Disturbed fucking sucks
Cooper Torres
''the one'' is pure kino
the rollin urban assault vehicle remix goes hard as fuck
Jesus, that song and video are fucking embarassing. Even when they try really, really hard to be edgy and "intense", bands like LB just come off sounding like teenagers having a tantrum >WHYYYYYYYYYYYY :@
Austin James
>Venom, Bathory isn't great Name me one Venom or Bathory song with a 10/10 chorus, catchy hooks and danceable grooves. Nu metal appealed to normies because there was actually an effort to make the music memorable
Jack Mitchell
>catchy hooks and danceable grooves. Are you fucking braindead? Metal is not about that and it's never been you dumb nigger
Nobody cares about Nu-metal, it's an irrelevant "genre"...if you can call it that.
Samuel Green
of coure rationality falls on deaf ears as always
Jaxson Walker
>nu-metal has creativity.
Nathan Martinez
>mix hip hop, funk, metal, electro and punk >not creative and hated by nu males >scream badly and play regurgitated tremolo riffs >creative and adored by nu males
What is acceptable nu-metal? I'm thinking Deftones, early Slipknot, SOAD and RATM
Chase Ward
bretty much this, along with hybrid theory by linkin park
Evan Scott
Slipknot is still the best band to come out of nu-metal. Out of all the bands who could have ever possibly filled the hot-topic masked band spot, they were the best. They have always felt like a much more experimental, artsy band who has to masquerade as a shitty pop metal band.
Chase Sanchez
Make that early SOAD as well. They have the Slipknot syndrome where they dropped off impossibly hard after their first 2 records. SOAD's first record is solid gold though, a 10..
Parker King
But now they are literally a shitty pop metal band, and this is coming from someone who saw them live twice in 2015.
Half of that shit was all I listened to from like 12-14. That Apex Theory is still pretty nice. L.D. 50 was my favorite album in middle school, and that Celldweller thing was good in high school when I started taking drugs and being an idiot.
Pretty difficult to listen to some of that stuff now.
Also this list is missing Motograter
Kayden Nelson
They're alt metal. None of the songs you posted are even from the real thing
Asher Martin
Even Lifer and From Zero?
Carter Nelson
Nu-Metal is that genre that stood at the vertex of Hip-Hop, Alternative Rock/Grunge, Funk Metal and Groove Metal. From the late '80s up until '94, all those genres played their respective part in forging Nu-Metal's sound.
The following bands were either directly responsible for its genesis or influential-but-not-necessarily-Nu-Metal: Pantera, Helmet, Prong, 24-7 Spyz, Living Colour, Fishbone, Deftones, Mordred, RATM, Infectious Grooves, Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, '90s Sepultura, Alice in Chains, Body Count, White Zombie, L.A.P.D., Korn, Biohazard, Slipknot, Soulfly, Mushroomhead, Powerman 5000 and several others.
Eli Baker
>hasn't listened to Peste Noire even though it was a flavor of the Sup Forumsth when La Sanie came out
Jaxon Nelson
this entire thread is an embarrassment
Jacob Jones
>puffs vape and turns up 6ix 9ine
James Barnes
you're confusing me with a nu-metal shitter.
Samuel Cook
what kind of pond scum do you think revels in this opinion?
Grayson Morgan
>there are people that are so insecure about their masculinity that they will tell themselves they like linkin park because effeminate men don't
worst timeline
Thomas Jenkins
Lol this was legit the first album my parents bought me when I was a kid. The rhythm section is dope as fuck, no meme
Nolan Turner
>linkin park >not effeminate imagine being this retarded
Evan Gonzalez
John Otto and Sam Rivers are both underrated on their respective instruments.
I don't know those. Lifer I've only ever seen posted here. I hated RATM and Marilyn Manson, never got into Deftones, I started with Linkin Park and SOAD and Static-X. Still have some of their tapes. Wisconsin Death Trip and SOAD's first album still holds up. I had a phase with Alien Ant Farm too but eventually you realize how little there is to the songs and you get bored. They had a good single with Glow after that but the rest doesn't get better. Oh please dude. Everybody in modern society listens to trite garbage at some point before "getting into" music, because appreciation is something you learn overtime. And if you act like you never did, it's pathetic. Nobody was born with their tastes fully formed. It's okay to look at your past self critically, you have the capacity now
Evan Kelly
I've been shitting on nu-metal since about 2005 when I outgrew it in high school, but I have to admit that after being inundated by whispery indie pop and trap garbage for the last few years, nu-metal is starting to sound pretty refreshing now.
Ian Richardson
some wires actually got crossed in my head, i meant to type limp biskit. kinda funny
Liam Perry
Yeah people shit on Limp Bizkit because of Durst but the band is actually good. If I remember right this album is still in the cd player of my car, not that I'm in any condition to drive right now
