@@dabrazzykidskywalkersoulfly was a mix of nu metal tribal and groove for a few albums then started shifting more towards thrash/groove/death metal like sepultura was before max left. Check out calvalera conspiracy max other band.
There's something to be said about why nu-metal groove riffs work so well. They feel so right for some reason and you can really get into a song because of it.
Honestly a lot of taproot is undercredited. Went to blue ridge 2023 and I stayed at the same hotel with them and drank/smoked with the band and heard stories. All amazing dudes
I just can't hear that shitty snare sound they bring with "Untouchables". There's a lot of good songs that got ruined by that horrible snare. The entire drum kit sucks, tbh
@@righty-o3585 i know people that are better at guitar than i am who think its a one note riff. its more of a 2.5 note riff because of the low string hammer on. wes is brilliant. who the hell else writes a 2.5 note riff that's THAT heavy?
@@stopit2964 also, from what I heard. Borland wasn't a huge fan of the music that they were putting out, which is why he started wearing the makeup. To hide his face. But he's not stupid and understood the success and the amount of money they could bring in, so he kinda just dealt with it, because that was the break he would probably never find again if he left the band. I'm not sure how true that is, but it does make sense. Because his projects that he started since then were NOTHING like Bizkit at all. Like not even remotely close.
Wes Borland underrepresented. Definitely the Nu Metal riff god. And that flat black Strat is sick! I can't stand Strats unless they have a very flat radius. That one looks pretty thin.
There are 10 nu metal riffs I like in this video :D Freak On A Leash-Korn One Step Closer-Linkin Park My Own Summer-Deftones Down With The Sickness-Disturbed Bring Me To Life-Evanescence Break Stuff-Limp Bizkit Last Resort-Papa Roach Bodies-Drowning Pool Points Of Authority-Linkin Park Boom-P.O.D.
I was expecting (sic) by slipknot after Down with the sickness. It blends quite well. Great video! I get my dose of Nu-Metal daily. It was an unforgettable era that defined my childhood and my gateway to other metal genre. Don't care what the gate keepers and critics say, Nu-metal was groundbreaking!
PREACH!! Same for many of us! Nu metal will always be special, cause it opened the horizons into heavier metal for so many of us!!, and the cycle is repeating itself, 20 YEARS LATER!! with the new generation of kids coming up, that love nu metal! 🤟🏽🤟🏽
that Soulfy album that came out in the late 90's was fucking amazing, I think it was the selftitled, but i loved the fuck out of it...The only 4 albums i listened that year was Soulfly-Soulfly, Deftones-Around the fur, 311-Transistor and Snot-GetSome.
Damn. Not my childhood, but my early adulthood, and got to see nearly all those bands and make great memories at those shows, from what i can remember...
Some great classic riffs in there 🤘🏻. I think I'd draw the line at classing Sepultura as nu-metal though. I know they started using simple downtuned riffs but they've been around since the early 80s. I'd just call their stuff since Roots tribal metal.
Except nu metal can be tribal metal too and visa versa, nu metal just means "New Wave Metal" that's different, raw, edgy and downtuned for the era, basically an evolution of pushing the envelope for the genre. Great example: listen to Pleymo - New Wave, it's a French Nu Metal song basically, an French Limp Bizkit and they came out around the same era as Limp Bizkit and it's all in French
Agree. Bands associated with the genre had arguably the largest view among other metal sub genre in YT. Like it or not, casual music listeners can get at least touch the surface of metal music thru Nu Metal.
Why the “(maybe)” a lot of these songs are absolute classics! People just love to hate. Bands like Korn, Deftones, Sepultura, Linkin Park etc are legendary.
I'm a huge Deftones fan and I always get a little irritated when they get lumped in with nu-metal bands, because they've evolved into something far beyond what the other bands did. But then I saw you pull out the Stephen Carpenter 7 string so you definitely know what's up! Good video man
"My own summer " is one of the most iconic riffs ever
ehhhhhh not even close
@@TH-camAccountManonly clicked on this vid to see if it was mentioned
@@TH-camAccountManit literally is
@@FVC37ESSfr lmao
Absolutely iconic...iam sure iam one of many that hear a crowd start too roar when those first notes hit 🤘
One Step Closer immediately started playing in my head when I saw this video title.
Literally same
The great thing is that Sepultura is not a nu metal band and yet have one of the greatest nu metal albums
Soulfly is a nu metal band and they have sepultura’s old singer and rhythm guitarist, Max Cavalera
@@dabrazzykidskywalker I know

True.
@@dabrazzykidskywalker They sound nothing like Nu metal.

Catchy riffs and the teen angst is what got hooked me to nu-metal.
"Here to Stay" was Korn's quintessential riff in terms of their sound.
The intro to Taproot's "Poem" was a great riff.
Honestly a lot of taproot is undercredited. Went to blue ridge 2023 and I stayed at the same hotel with them and drank/smoked with the band and heard stories. All amazing dudes
Here to stay was after korn became pointless
@@Tgym-kw7ih Disagree. When Head came back, they achieved greatness again. The Serenity of Suffering is tremendous.
@@Tgym-kw7ihit was the one time they did something cool, actually.
I just can't hear that shitty snare sound they bring with "Untouchables". There's a lot of good songs that got ruined by that horrible snare.
The entire drum kit sucks, tbh
The Points of Authority riff is one of my all-time favorites.
So simple, yet so effective.
Yes, I always liked it as well. It's so distinctively "nu-metal"ish and has that hip-hop/turntable inspired sound to it.
I like that riff too. It flows too well.
I love the riff in Don’t Stay
thank you for being one of the few people on youtube that plays break stuff correctly
With wes borlands actual prs custom 24
How can you play that song incorrectly? It's literally 2 chords
@@righty-o3585 i know people that are better at guitar than i am who think its a one note riff. its more of a 2.5 note riff because of the low string hammer on. wes is brilliant. who the hell else writes a 2.5 note riff that's THAT heavy?
@@stopit2964 yeah there's that half power chord hammer on. So yeah, 2.5 chords is accurate.
@@stopit2964 also, from what I heard. Borland wasn't a huge fan of the music that they were putting out, which is why he started wearing the makeup. To hide his face.

No
Bro got a ton of new comments in the past few days. The algorithm gods see you. Great video!
thanks! and yeah, a looooot of new comments and folks around here :)
@@maciejstillsucks That's so rad! You play really well. I like it.
@@niaboctruk138 thanks so much
Damn never realized how sick the riff to bring me to life was 🤘. Sick video.
thanks!
Im glad you kept the often forgotten mudvayne..man they were good
Wes Borland underrepresented. Definitely the Nu Metal riff god.
And that flat black Strat is sick! I can't stand Strats unless they have a very flat radius. That one looks pretty thin.
I believe that's the Jim Root Showmaster, love that axe.
those first 2 Linkin Park albums of full of great riffs...Wes Borland is also a creative genius.
Wes Borland > Brad Delson
Yeah, but barely…Brad’s riffs are super musical.
Your collection is really great. Both the songs and the guitars.
Happy to see Coal Chamber on here
Love seeing PODs Boom getting included. Despite being one of the earliest Nu Metal bands they get slept on.
Not sure if you have heard it, but they released a new record recently. It is such a good, good album.
I looove that Forest riff from SOAD - I feel it doesn’t get as much praise as it should!
Agree!
100% 😎
Well that was f**kin' sick!
Good to see the tele getting a hammering dude👍
Subbed
thanks!
Man how you gonna make a numetal video with no slipknot
cool idea for part 2 :)
@@maciejstillsucks❤
They ain’t nu metal playa
Probably because calling Slipknot NuMetal is an insult to Slipknot.
I read this and was praying Korn was mentioned😂
Good vid my man, I appreciate all the different guitars you play here, some nice rigs you got there!
thanks for the comment!
Came to hear the first few riffs, ended up watching the whole video :)
thanks!
There are 10 nu metal riffs I like in this video :D
Freak On A Leash-Korn
One Step Closer-Linkin Park
My Own Summer-Deftones
Down With The Sickness-Disturbed
Bring Me To Life-Evanescence
Break Stuff-Limp Bizkit
Last Resort-Papa Roach
Bodies-Drowning Pool
Points Of Authority-Linkin Park
Boom-P.O.D.
I love it when people play the One Step Closer Riff correctly!
But wasn't it written in Drop C# instead of Drop D like he played in a video?
I was going to comment this
And you don't care when they play Points Of Authority wrong.
I love your guitar collection. Great vid too
thanks!

Those are some beautiful telecasters! You killed it man
thanks!
Sick riffs! All of my childhood is contained here
Just the Coal Chamber that I Don't recognize... And I'm glad for it.... One more great Nu Band Metal Band for me to Know! Great Video dude, Successs
thanks!
Coal chamber is awesome
Love the number of tele style guitars in the video. I rock a few hot rodded teles as well. Long live bare knuckle pickups.
long live!
Awesome song selection, beautifully played and wicked guitar collection. Very cool.
Korn's "Blind" deserve to be here, straight classic!
Happy to see Points Of Authority in here good stuff bro.
This guy really loves his Tele body style guitars.
Ain’t nothing wrong with that tho
I do ;)
idk what it is about the way he plays its so satisfying and he actually played break stuff correctly

Very entertaining and well played, must be neat to compare and constrast the styles from the inside.
Love your guitars, mate!
thanks!
Nothingface has been completely forgotten. Audio guide and violence are essential nu metal albums
I wouldn't place Sepultura in the Nu Metal category
Love them all ! Your guitars are great too :)
Damn they all kinda sound like they could be part of the same album. There was definitely a specific style of guitar playing in the early 2000s haha.
I agree on your selection of songs great You are the man!
Damn. Not my childhood, but my early adulthood, and got to see nearly all those bands and make great memories at those shows, from what i can remember...
so cool that you got to see so many of those bands live!
hi maciej
fabio here! nice guitarwork!

Cuz to me, Djent was my generations Nu Metal in alot of ways ngl with those Riffs Wormholes by Volumes and/or Icarus lives by Periphery
DIG NEEDS MORE BRR BRR DING.
Jk, that was still a dope ass video.
BRR BRR DING!
I was lowkey hoping for the riff from counterfeit but break stuff.still goes insanely hard
Nice rig man. Cool guitars
Awesome 😎 very nostalgic 🙏
thanks!
wow what a cool unique looking LTD telecaster, nice one!
I turned it into a “guess the song” game and only missed Sepultra lmao. I’d call that a win
that's an L
I'm so glad people start to acknowledge static x
Yes glad POD made it!!!
This is a throw back! We’ll done!
thanks :)
That Fender total black is very cool!
Those LTD Teles are so sick! What model(s) are they? And what model is the black Fender?
Fantastic video! All of those riffs are bops.
black fender is flathead showmaster jim root
@@senordaniell black tele is a LTD TE 202, sunburst tele is a LTD TE 254. Both are modded though ;)
Just for opening the video with Deftones you got me to give you a like and a sub.
thanks!
I was going SHOVE IT SHOVE IT SHOVE IT throughout your whole My Own Summer riff
Dude love your guitars🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
that was a trip down memory lane... and it's like you were there lol
How did he play the song i was listening to on loop first... MANS A WIZARD!
Elitism and gatekeeping be damned, nu-metal remains a fantastic intro to metal as a whole. Esp for people whom the elitists would love to keep out.
Agree.

cool collection of guitars! baller
Drowning Pool mentioned 🔥🔥🔥
Static-X 'Push It' verrry similar to KoRn 'Need To' (the first bit)
Cool selection!
Fender str flat head so good job bro. 😍🤘🏽🎸🎉
I’m a drummer but DAMN you got some nice guitars. Great playing.
Nice work! I wish i could play like that 🙂
I miss the late 90s early 00s. Shitty internet. Great music. We still played outside as kids. And PS1 games or Doom when raining.
Thank friggin god! After 15 plus years I've finally found someone who play dwts the same as I do
:)
Great tone homie
Finally someone includes Static X, they are criminally underrated
Kinda crazy you played a Korn classic with an SCT-607B, a stef signature guitar.
Amazing stuff.
Simplistic riffs but very catchy.
Wait wait wait, hold on.... you've ACTUALLY GOT A FENDER FLATHEAD. tell me everything. when and how did you get it and how much did you pay for it!
when: 2007. where: bought it (online) at arizona music pro. how much: $1900, if i remember correctly
@@maciejstillsuckskeep it until the day Jim Root hits you up for a bargain. 😄

Not gonna lie, I was bobbing to sepultura

Just curious, how do you get the drum tracks etc to go with each song or intro?
"push it" started and i was like thats a weird way to play "need to"
Well, I enjoyed this
0:28 Suddenly Korn - Need to
Wrong. It's a band named Static X
@HcCrr-i5k You're so smart. You should consider elementary school.
Thanks, that was cool.
This will not make me headbang, but will make me DEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG
Love ur choices 👍🏼
cool 👍🏼
I immediately failed the try not to headbang challenge.😂
Throw in some Soulfly next round and do Blind by KoRn plz. Awesome vid. dude!!
i need pills for remember to past.
Nu-metal: use me.
Headbanged to them all🤘🤘
i love nu metal
