nu-metal:exist or extinct?

I spotted more mistakes..but better not post or else I'll be branded elitist. Me, elitist no, purist yes.
 
And instead of putting alternatives and nu-metal, the space can be used for death/thrash , ambient/symphonic, black/ambient/avant garde. Or whatever combo you want.

..........whoa..cool guys....

I am just another music lover like many of u in here...and i dont play any music instruments or playing in a band....
Regardless if its Nu-Metal or not...if it grooves n and makes me move to it...Its Music To Me...And I m So Gonna Loving it...
And I say Nu-Metal still exist. just that its not in the current music trend as it use to be many years back...ANd also..i am among those that love Nu-Metal regardless of all those Multi-Metal Genres that i adore too..
Be it Metal or watever genre it mite be....Its still an Art

Nah people love to diss what they don't like. Don't bother with them. This is a nu metal appreciation thread. Other stuff, heavy metal included, should just be left out. The debate of whether nu-metal is metal or not is pointless. Does it even matter? Just ignore the dissing...
 
You can't trust all sources either....

No disrespect to nu-metal, alt-metal and hard alternative, I emphasize once again that I love those genres as much as I love heavy metal, but Hit Parader magazine considers bands from these genres to be heavy metal. Stupid stupid stupid. I read a few issues long ago and now, I still think that hit parader's run by a group of kids with no knowledge of heavy metal whatsoever.

Yes. I still consider nu metal a totally separate genre from heavy metal. And i'll stick to that belief for eternity because for me, there're totally different. Both are loud and heavy, but that's pretty much all that is similar.

Judas Priest is a heavy metal band. That's an established fact. Only a mofo would disagree that Judas Priest is a heavy metal band. Is Slipknot's music anywhere similar?... How can an established magazine get so mixed up? For a so-claimed heavy metal magazine, where is Black sabbath? Judas Priest? Iron Maiden, Motorhead?

I find wikipedia pretty reliable, though. But I'm not a big fan of that geonology chart either. Doesn't seem right.

I think the fact of the matter is, metal has evolved so much from the early pioneers that honestly, nothing can be called metal any more. Look at thrash. I'm sure the purist metalheads from the 70s were like, damn, these bands aren't metal at all! They're rubbish etc etc. The same thing happened with grunge. Listen to Alice in Chains. They are considered grunge but they sound very heavy and very metal on my songs. They were probably labelled grunge just because they came out around a time when D.C had all these new grunge bands coming up.

van halen, no reason to diss others. I know you're the godfather of shred and stuff alongside guys like Uli Jon Roth. I don't think punk requires a lot of skill either, but do they not play a part in the music millions listen to today? It's not nice to diss the younger guys, you have to pass the torch down, Eddie.

SOAD played live on MTV. It was pretty bad, from a technical side. Darren's SG was out of tune, his single note lines (not solos) and bends where out of tune... very ear jarring. Rest of the band was spot on, but Darren was out...

Nothing against Gibson (other than their QC and pricing hehe) but the change in direction of his tone was a big no no for me.

I suddenly feel like getting an Ibanez Iceman with a Edge trem.

There's no such thing as purist 70's metalheads. Heavy metal didn't really establish itself until very late 70's, 78-79 perhaps. The 70's "metalheads" you are referring to were more like rockers. Even most NWOBHM bands had strong rock n roll influence. Only some stood out to be major influences of the next generation of metal bands.

metal evolved to become more technical and complex, they didn't evolve to become crap like rap or nu-metal, which are entirely different from metal.

i enjoy grunge but to say grunge = metal? c'mon. you might as well say punk = metal. grunge is more like punk. just because something is heavy doesn't mean it is metal.
