wikipedia says "Song About Nuthin'" on Transform idk what you're talking about. "The One and Only" is on the 3rd album. I'm currently wearing goggles on my orange spiky hair, looking like Seth Green in Can't Hardly Wait. I know what I'm talking about.
I have so many Nu Metal tracks that I still love! My Own Summer - Deftones Place For My Head - Linkin Park Boom - P.O.D Take A Look Around - Limp Bizkit Duality - Slipknot Did My Time - Korn Aerials - System of a Don I was an unapologetic Nu Metal kid and I stand by it.
Nice list. I'd only substitute Deftones with Papa Roach and maybe change some songs, but that's really just personal preference/memories. Ever unapologetic, always standing by it!
Finn: "lizzy hale is such a nice lady I would definitely invite her to the cookout, she would bring over some great ribs from whole foods, and I'd feel bad because shed go all out, she's so nice, that's what kind of person Lizzy is" Someone in the chat: "I'd smash"
I like LB but "Rollin'" stinks. Bottom line not only is "Break Stuff" the popular answer but the correct answer ( as far as LB songs but not the best nu metal song)
I’d say 9 Teen 90 Nine is the perfect Nu Metal song. Also Stuck, Full Nelson and Livin it Up are amazing Nu Metal songs. Limp Bizkit were just a powerhouse. Nobody had John Otto’s grooves, We Borlan weird riffs, and Fred Durst charisma on top of the fact that he is a HUGE hip hop head, everything in one band. To me their music is what I would think of if someone were to describe Nu Metal to me without knowing what it sounds like
@@sherman1476 I’m torn on the celebrities/outsiders wearing an "alternative shirt" because on the one hand I always think it’s ridiculous to care that much about a t shirt but then I realize how irksome it can be to see some jackass in a fox racing tshirt that doesn’t know about motocross (the sport I grew up around). That type of stuff was created as subcultural markers for fans of said niche subculture so many see it as a chance for a discussion and possible friendship with the person wearing the clothing. A person should know what they’re getting into when they buy that type of merchandise. No one has any trouble understanding why a geek would buy some related to Star Wars or a weeb with anything anime related (as long as it’s not related to, let’s say, "animated minors" side of the equation, I was pretty creeped out the other day when I saw a car covered in that stuff). People know what’s going on there. The same rules should apply to metal, skateboarding, nascar, and motocross.
@MyBeautifulDarkTwistedSilentPlanet See I think normies always mention Koi No Yokan to be the best Deftones album apart from White Pony. I like Koi No Yokan but def not as good as Diamond Eyes, Self Titled, and Around The Fur IMO
What's funny is a lot of Machine Head fans say they hate The Burning Red because of the nu-metal, but every time I've seen them perform From This Day, the whole crowd start bouncing like they're standing on Pogo Sticks
My friends in our shitty metalcore band would always jokingly play "Break Stuff" circa 2009 and it started out as a joke but we eventually came to genuinely love it.
Man, it 100% has to be a Korn song because they are the band that carried the genre into the world with their passionate fans, very little industry help. In that same spirit it has to be a deep cut and not a single. It has to be an early song. It has to be F@get. Hands down. That’s the track. Powerful.
I love the 90s trend of spelling things in quirky ways - Nu replaced New, Korn replaced Corn, Bizkit replaced Biscuit, Linkin replaced Lincoln, Trapt replaced Trapped, Staind replaced Stained. I could literally go on all day. 😂
In Linkin Park's defense, they actually wanted to call the band "Lincoln Park", but it was to expensive to register this name, for it is the name of a public place. Then, they changed it to Linkin.
Best Big 3 : 1.Deftones - Back to School 2. Korn - Freak on a Leash 3. Limp Bizkit - Nookie... Deep cuts 1.Ill Nino - what comes around 2. Hed pe - bartender/killing time 3. Linea 77 - Ketchup Suicide
Korn's Twist has my vote, but anything from their first album could work. There are two very different nu-metal vibes: the angsty and darker shade and the careless party Chad side. You know who's who.
Growing up in Vegas in the 90's Korn was a regional band that would come through. I'm a Cody and indeed can confirm that my spikey bleached hair and baggy pants found out about the band from Bakersfield that was like "metal gangstas" and immediately made that my whole identity. They had a print that was like an adidas knockoff with 40oz bottles as the logo that my friend convinced my Mormon mom to get for me for my birthday. Good Times. Shout out to x1075 "extreme" radio.
I went to a korn concert when I was 16 and got finger blasted by one of the roadies in the tour bus and i squirted on munkeys bed and I took of photo of the puddle and the bed to prove it. I will probably list the photo on ebay when munkey passes away that way the price would be alot higher. I wish I had taken a video of the squirt but i only had a disposable film camera. It was kind of embarrassing getting the photos developed knowing that there was photos of my squirt on munkeys bed but I'm very confident and it didn't bother me one bit. I have been doing internet videos of my squirts and maybe enter some competitions for longest squirt or something like that. I would like to send them to munkey for free since he was the one i was thinking of while then roadie finger blasted me.
Finn slowly turning against the monster that has forced him to abandon Punk and discuss Nu Metal for all eternity, a monster that he himself created, is an epic villain origin story and I can’t look away.
Whenever I introduce someone to Limp Bizkit I start with Break Stuff and it hits every single time no matter who it is, and also Slipknot Before I Forget
Well, these are my favourites: 1- Korn - Freak on a Leash 2- Limp Bizkit - Boiler 3- Dry Kill Logic - Nothing 4 - Mudvayne - Dig 5- Adema - Speculum 6- Coal Chamber - Loco 7- I’ll Niño - If you Still Hate Me
My favorite nu metal tunes Killswitch Engage- Life To Lifeless ILL Nino- Unreal Dry Kill Logic- Paper Tigers E-Town Concrete- Mandibles 40Below Summer- Better Life
Growing up in the Chicago area in the 00's, Down with the sickness is always gonna be my answer for me. I loved rap first and I'm glad David Draiman never tried it! (Mike Shinoda got bars though, unlike 90% of Nu Metalers that tried)
The most objective list would be: 1. Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit 2. Blind by Korn 3. In The End by Linkin Park 4. Bodies by Drowning Pool 5. Psychosocial by Slipknot
S.C.I.E.N.C.E by Incubus is one of the best, underrated, and most creative nu metal albums of all times, all the songs are good especially new skin, and it should’ve been a hit, maybe then Incubus wouldve continued in that direction instead of gradually shifting to a softer alternative rock sound
KORN was great, back in the day. I grew up in Bakersfield, saw them play live on their first tour. Tejon Theatre. Very memorable show...Shoots n Ladders was the tune!!! haha
I think nu-metal was hated back then because it was the biggest thing at the time. I'm working with a local (and popular) death metal band from hungary, and back then even they tried to turn into nu metal, but failed. Man i'm a nu metal guy, nu metal got me into the metal scene, and who cares if people hate it. Maybe this is why i enjoy most of Finns nu metal videos, cause i love the genre, and i love it how he makes fun of it. Great video as allways, i'd like to go over to a barbecue of yours, to talk about how can you hate nu metal, but love korn at the same time :D
@@hectorescobar9450 Wes Borland the guitarist for Limp Bizkit is one of the most acknowledged guitarist out there. Nu metal guitars are not boring. I can agree with the lyrics, but not with the singing. Even if there are some whining elements, most of the time nu metal vocals are legit with singing, and screaming or growing. Nobody has to love Nu metal, but it’s defenetly not Whiny, and the guitar is absolutley not boring. Even Finn keeps telling the audience that modern metal bands trying to sound like early Slipknot, and guess what, early Slipknot was numetal as well. The lyrics side is the only point where i can agree with you
09:42 Because of the time period that Korn debuted, they bridged that gap between old school metal and the rap-rock sound that surfaced around 1991 a la “Bring The Noise” (remember in the beginning they wore hip-hop track suits, completely against the metal ethos at the time). I remember Munky in an interview talking about Mr. Bungle and FNM as big influences…Metallica also, of course…
I normally wouldn't consider this Nu-Metal, But the Nu-Metal subreddit says that this band falls under the umbrella so I nominate Control by Puddle Of Mudd If that's too mainstream for everyone's tastes, Then I nominate Complicate Me by Sins of a Divine Mother as a stand in. Never heard of them? That's because they're a lost media band that are only known through their song Broken that was intended to be on the Shadow The Hedgehog soundtrack. (Real talk though their EP actually slaps)
I'm just going to say convertible fingerless gloves, really a game changer for me this winter season, you can have your fingertips when you need to use phone or whatever and when you need to be warm you pull over the mitten bit over you fingers and its nice and cozy. Mine even have little magnets to hold them open so they don't flap about when you're using your fingers.
11:00 - *YES, THANK YOU!* Friends of mine got Nintendo Gameboy games in their stockings! Like, WTF? That's straight-up a Christmas gift … not stocking material.
The only reason why I haven’t bought the listen to nü metal shirt is because of the hyphen and the lack of umlauts btw Korn is theeee best nü metal band OF ALL TIME. Thanks, Finn. Great vid as usual💗
Man I'm 36 back when I was in high school and early 20s Korn, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, and Linkin Park(and Chevelle altho they're not nu metal) were some of my absolute favorite bands. But another band that is in my Top 5 for sure that gets no love is Sevendust!! That band is an absolute gem and have never got the love they deserved.
Artists rants never gets old either. Like Dave Mustaine and his rants about posers in metal shirts. Though what we do without the original bad boy of thrash. Hope you're well Dave and on the way to a good recovery. I have the feeling he would have deep cut
Southtown by P.O.D. Here is why: This is the song that bridges Hardcore and Rap and NuMetal in the most authentic and catchiest way. The groove holds up throughout the whole song, the vocals alter from rap to Hardcore screaming, great hookline, solid songwriting. Plus: The video is Hardcore af (yes, I often view at this stuff through the lens of a hc-kid). The density of Hardcore references is crushing: No Innocent Victim, Zao (christian hc, but still), X'ed up hands, a mosh-pit that's straight from a 90s Strife, 108, Shelter, Floorpunch show - finger pointing, stage diving, sing-along hc-kids (incl. the band), no pathetic bend-forward-bend-backward-tilted-head-because-I'm-so-crayzziiiie moves, no stupid Halloween costumes. But what do I know, I'm a poser who thinks Korn's overrated and overhyped.
I'm never getting invited to Finn's bbq. I would 100% take vegan hot dogs and craft beer. I'd probably want to talk about nu-metal and rollerblading the whole time too
Its a tie for me Either Headup - Deftones with max cavalera Or Jump tha fuck up - Soulfly with Corey Taylor It were bands like Sepultura that made the way for Nu-metal
My list would be: Mudvayne - Prod Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff, 9 Teen 90 Nine, Stuck Linkin Park - Forgotten, A Place for My Head, Faint, Points of Authority Korn - Blind, Freak on a Leash, A.D.I.D.A.S. Disturbed - Down with the Sickness, Stricken, Decadence Static X - Skinnyman, The Only, Push It, Kill Your Idols Drowning Pool - Bodies Slipknot - Eyeless, Liberate, The Heretic Anthem, No Life SOAD - Sugar, Prison Song, Toxicity, IEAIAIO Deftones - My Own Summer, Back to School, Elite Staind - It’s Been a While This is all I can think of. Could’ve added some Godsmack there but idk if they would be considered Nu Metal. I guess you can argue the same with Disturbed but they got more of a metal vibe than Godsmack. This is a very hard question to answer hahaha
My list would be: Twist - Korn The box - Snot Push it - Static-x Loco - Coal Chamber Stupify - Disturbed Death blooms - Mudvayne Sugar - S.O.A.D. lmao, kidding but not kidding (i have other favorites from that era)... I was a teen somewhere in South America during the mid 90's and ALL kinds of metal were cool back then, so no stigma whatsoever and i'll never apologize for sh*t...
- So, thank you for coming in today. Do you have much experience in retail? What was your previous occupation? - Well, I've explored several career paths, but most recently I was a rocker.
Oh man, I was a big fan of Ill Nino back in the day. Weird to hear someone else heard about them. But I was always that music snob kid that liked the things that no one else liked.
Judging by a few interviews I’ve seen with him (specifically the rig rundown) John Baizley would not in fact bring vegan hot dogs, just a giant plate of coke
My stocking was amazing every year, prob worth 2 to 300 dollars. My mom would always buy my makeup, and that would cost around 120 bucks, and I'd get gift cards, and my brother would get video games. My mom didn't mess around when it came to stockings. But then again, we still got 100 bucks for Valentine's Day (even this year), and big presents for Easter too, not lots of gifts like Xmas, like maybe 2 or 3, whatever would fit in my basket. My last Easter basket was maybe 5 years ago. I started making my husband one too, so he wasn't left out. Lol.
The reason you probably don't see Powerman 5000 is they have jumped around musical styles. They only have the one album that would fit the nu-metal sound. Their first album was more funk-rock then they did a punk-ish album, last one was very synth heavy. Way back in the day, I signed up for their fan club online before Tonight the Stars Revolt came out, and they sent a bunch of stickers out I guess so we could stick them all over as a sort of street team type deal. And if you are going to say Limp Bizkit, their best song is Counterfeit.
Was anyone into Ultraspank in the 90s? I think they had 2 albums out before breaking up but I was a big fan of the music…. I believe one of the members (maybe two) went on to form the band Lo-Pro later on…which isn’t bad, but…but…. Ultraspank.
In 1994I was 17 very soon to be 18 when Blind dropped...it was one of the best years of my life.. I wouldn't want to have grown up in any other generation than X.
PM5K had a cancelled album and Also Blood Splat Rating System can be considered a separate release by some. Transform would be the fourth one, in my opinion. Song About Nuthin. A song about how he enjoys writing songs as opposed to freestyling.
True Force and Blood Splat Rating System were ahead of their time. I think Anyone For Doomsday got pulled because of 9/11; which is a shame because it was killer.
I’m going to say something a bit controversial here, but I consider Fear Factory’s “Obsolete” record was nu-metal. I know they come from a death metal tradition, but “Edgecrusher” was a good track. They also embraced the whole trend of metal bands covering 80s tunes (Gary Numan’s “Cars”). I’m also going to say Orgy “Stitches”… the video for that song was amazing.
American Head Charge - Seamless. Not the version from Art of War but the original one with all the samples from the album with a skull on it. What a fuckin' banger.
Come hang out on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/finnmckenty
Thank you Finn to introduse me to Hatebreed !
where’s that tool video you said you were gonna do and never fucking did
Could you talk about disturbed?
Will you ever have merchandise for "Listen to Metal Core"?
We’re going to need an official list soon of everyone Finn is inviting to the barbecue. He’ll run out of Ruffles if he’s not careful.

Track #9 on Powerman 5000's 4th album is called "The One and Only" and yes, it is the greatest Nu metal song of all time.
Powerman 5k now thats a band i have not heard of in a long damn time!!! Ever since when worlds collide!! Holy crap that was ages ago!!
We are all getting to damn old!!! Holy F!!
@@stankinsteinfrankfurter9005 Saw them live a month ago. That song went ballistic.

I still see powerman live in seattle.they are one of the best live bands I see!
I looked up who has the most listens on Spotify, and In The End by LINKIN PARK has everybody else blown out of the water
Not surprising. It's what got me into music and metal
I have so many Nu Metal tracks that I still love!
My Own Summer - Deftones
Place For My Head - Linkin Park
Boom - P.O.D
Take A Look Around - Limp Bizkit
Duality - Slipknot
Did My Time - Korn
Aerials - System of a Don
I was an unapologetic Nu Metal kid and I stand by it.
Ooohh, love it VERY nice list dude! Love those songs on the list, I stand by it
Nice list. I'd only substitute Deftones with Papa Roach and maybe change some songs, but that's really just personal preference/memories.
Ever unapologetic, always standing by it!
Take a Look Around is all time
Great list.
I would replace boom with south town and add papa roach
Finn: "lizzy hale is such a nice lady I would definitely invite her to the cookout, she would bring over some great ribs from whole foods, and I'd feel bad because shed go all out, she's so nice, that's what kind of person Lizzy is"
Someone in the chat: "I'd smash"
Limp Bizkit - Rollin’ is the definition of Nu-Metal and it deserves its flowers. That song gets any party started.
Id say papercut first, hot dog second. But rollin is dank. Especially urban assault vehicle version.
I like LB but "Rollin'" stinks. Bottom line not only is "Break Stuff" the popular answer but the correct answer ( as far as LB songs but not the best nu metal song)
@@FURTHER_ADO you are wrong. Loud and wrong. 😂😋

If you have to define nu metal with one song I'd say it would have to be a bizkit song

I'm gonna say Big Truck by Coal Chamber, Got The Life by Korn, and Counterfeit by Limp Bizkit.
Solid choices!
Word to lb debut
Best Big 3 : 1.Deftones - Back to School 2. Korn - Freak on a Leash 3. Limp Bizkit - Nookie... Deep cuts 1.Ill Nino - what comes around 2. Hed pe - bartender/killing time 3. Linea 77 - Ketchup Suicide
Good call!
Korn's Twist has my vote, but anything from their first album could work. There are two very different nu-metal vibes: the angsty and darker shade and the careless party Chad side. You know who's who.
Word. I personally consider korn’s debut and manson’s portrait as godfather records of the genre.
I think the time has come that we need a "Finn Mckenty does another Nu Metal Video" - Tier list. Of course done by our favorite Gatekeeper Finn.
It will get crowded in the S-Tier category!
I was big into Hed (PE) but my favorite song must be My Own Summer by Deftones
Lmaooo “Cody Energy” is so spot on, Finn 😂
People say Nirvana changed music overnight.
In my world it was Korn.
It was immediate. Everyone knew that was the new shit right away
For metal yes but nirvana changed rock
@@atvenaWell where is rock now…in contrast Metal is thriving
Freak on a Leash was huge to me the first time I heard it. Powerman 5000 - Operate Annihilate and Static-X - Transit the Motion are my favorites!

I’ve seen Korn the first time live and we didn’t know them and what to expect. They blew us away!! It was crazy…

SUrprised there wasnt more "Let The Bodies Hit The Floor" or " Down With The Sickness"
Whenever I introduce someone to Limp Bizkit I start with Break Stuff and it hits every single time no matter who it is, and also Slipknot Before I Forget
'Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away)' - By Chino Moreno and The Deft Ones is the one sensible choice. Clearly.
Well, these are my favourites:
1- Korn - Freak on a Leash
2- Limp Bizkit - Boiler
3- Dry Kill Logic - Nothing
4 - Mudvayne - Dig
5- Adema - Speculum
6- Coal Chamber - Loco
7- I’ll Niño - If you Still Hate Me
My favorite nu metal tunes
Killswitch Engage- Life To Lifeless
ILL Nino- Unreal
Dry Kill Logic- Paper Tigers
E-Town Concrete- Mandibles
40Below Summer- Better Life
Finn hasn't had a Beyond Meat Spicy Italian Sausage, and it shows...
My favourite Nu-metal song is that parrot's cover of Bodies by Drowning Pool.
Growing up in the Chicago area in the 00's, Down with the sickness is always gonna be my answer for me. I loved rap first and I'm glad David Draiman never tried it! (Mike Shinoda got bars though, unlike 90% of Nu Metalers that tried)
The "Uh-oh" when We Came as Romans popped up made me burst out laughing
Toxicity was my first cd and I think the prison song is the best nu metal song ever
Me too its the song that pretty much changed my life
Finn i fucking love your dry humor. Calling them headbangers after that teens react video and calling them rockers crack me up every single time
Courtney Laplante rocking a Ghost jacket is awesome, real recognizes real lmao, I know so many people who love spiritbox and call ghost fake metal
they were on tour together
I will never get tired of you talking about nu metal, ever.
The most objective list would be:
1. Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit
2. Blind by Korn
3. In The End by Linkin Park
4. Bodies by Drowning Pool
5. Psychosocial by Slipknot
S.C.I.E.N.C.E by Incubus is one of the best, underrated, and most creative nu metal albums of all times, all the songs are good especially new skin, and it should’ve been a hit, maybe then Incubus wouldve continued in that direction instead of gradually shifting to a softer alternative rock sound

Oh sick. New Nu-Metal MBA video dropped.
11:00 - *YES, THANK YOU!* Friends of mine got Nintendo Gameboy games in their stockings! Like, WTF? That's straight-up a Christmas gift … not stocking material.
Backstreets back by backstreet boys is a nu metal classic
You're my favorite rocker, Finn!
Track nine of Powerman 5000s 4th album is called Song about nuthin'.
Correction. “Blind” by korn is 11/10. 11
One of my favourite new metal songs is SNOT by snot, great song ,great intro such a shame they never were able to go further RIP Lynn
Indeed, what a great album!
Good pick. Snooze Button is also a banger.
The only reason why I haven’t bought the listen to nü metal shirt is because of the hyphen and the lack of umlauts btw Korn is theeee best nü metal band OF ALL TIME. Thanks, Finn. Great vid as usual💗
Hell yeah brother, I used to snowboard to Ill Niño! They were sick!
Man I'm 36 back when I was in high school and early 20s Korn, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, and Linkin Park(and Chevelle altho they're not nu metal) were some of my absolute favorite bands. But another band that is in my Top 5 for sure that gets no love is Sevendust!! That band is an absolute gem and have never got the love they deserved.
Artists rants never gets old either. Like Dave Mustaine and his rants about posers in metal shirts. Though what we do without the original bad boy of thrash. Hope you're well Dave and on the way to a good recovery. I have the feeling he would have deep cut
Bloodsimple - "Running From Nothing", "Straighthate"
Limp Bizkit - "Stuck"
Korn - "Good God", "Ball Tongue"
POD - "Southtown"
Slipknot - "Surfacing"
I was almost surprised no one talked about "oh wa a a a" or "brr brr deng"
Shoots and Ladders by Korn for me. Blind and Clown didn't really get any airplay here in Oz but Shoots did.
The rest is history from there.
Southtown by P.O.D.
Here is why: This is the song that bridges Hardcore and Rap and NuMetal in the most authentic and catchiest way. The groove holds up throughout the whole song, the vocals alter from rap to Hardcore screaming, great hookline, solid songwriting.
Plus: The video is Hardcore af (yes, I often view at this stuff through the lens of a hc-kid). The density of Hardcore references is crushing: No Innocent Victim, Zao (christian hc, but still), X'ed up hands, a mosh-pit that's straight from a 90s Strife, 108, Shelter, Floorpunch show - finger pointing, stage diving, sing-along hc-kids (incl. the band), no pathetic bend-forward-bend-backward-tilted-head-because-I'm-so-crayzziiiie moves, no stupid Halloween costumes. But what do I know, I'm a poser who thinks Korn's overrated and overhyped.
I'm pretty amazed how few people said System to be honest.
Also pretty disappointed by the lack of Incubus answers, imma throw in Vitamin as my pick.
Not nu metal just alt metal
Keon’s debut record is one of the best front to back albums I’ve heard.
I love Keon
For anyone who is wondering Keon is Korn and Kings of Leon collab. Shit bangs…
I wish all the best to this man. He's entertaining.
I got CDs in my stockings often when I was a kid. The good ol days.
I'm never getting invited to Finn's bbq. I would 100% take vegan hot dogs and craft beer. I'd probably want to talk about nu-metal and rollerblading the whole time too
When did Nu-Metal get associated with vegans, rollerblading and craft beer?
@@btgkg9639 i'm not saying that. It's just a bunch of unrelated shit that I know Finn wouldn't want at his bbq
Its a tie for me
Either
Headup - Deftones with max cavalera
Or
Jump tha fuck up - Soulfly with Corey Taylor
It were bands like Sepultura that made the way for Nu-metal
My list would be:
Mudvayne - Prod
Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff, 9 Teen 90 Nine, Stuck
Linkin Park - Forgotten, A Place for My Head, Faint, Points of Authority
Korn - Blind, Freak on a Leash, A.D.I.D.A.S.
Disturbed - Down with the Sickness, Stricken, Decadence
Static X - Skinnyman, The Only, Push It, Kill Your Idols
Drowning Pool - Bodies
Slipknot - Eyeless, Liberate, The Heretic Anthem, No Life
SOAD - Sugar, Prison Song, Toxicity, IEAIAIO
Deftones - My Own Summer, Back to School, Elite
Staind - It’s Been a While
This is all I can think of. Could’ve added some Godsmack there but idk if they would be considered Nu Metal. I guess you can argue the same with Disturbed but they got more of a metal vibe than Godsmack. This is a very hard question to answer hahaha
I'd argue that a majority of Godsmack's catalogue isn't Nu-Metal, But those first three albums definitely are. The rest is Hard Rock
I'm glad you mentioned Stemm, Adema and Dry Kill Logic as I've actually connected with all three bands. XD
My list would be:
Twist - Korn
The box - Snot
Push it - Static-x
Loco - Coal Chamber
Stupify - Disturbed
Death blooms - Mudvayne
Sugar - S.O.A.D.
lmao, kidding but not kidding (i have other favorites from that era)... I was a teen somewhere in South America during the mid 90's and ALL kinds of metal were cool back then, so no stigma whatsoever and i'll never apologize for sh*t...
Stunned that the guy with the Coal Chamber shirt did not say "Sway"!
Dude you damn near nailed my old friend cody to a fucking T. Dudes family had money and horses and shit, and he spiked his hair
I was hoping you would react to this thanks finn 🤘
- So, thank you for coming in today. Do you have much experience in retail? What was your previous occupation?
- Well, I've explored several career paths, but most recently I was a rocker.
My Top 3:
Dead Bodies Everywhere- Korn
My Gift to You- Korn
Not Falling- Mudvayne
Honorable mention: Left Behind - Slipknot
Oh man, I was a big fan of Ill Nino back in the day. Weird to hear someone else heard about them. But I was always that music snob kid that liked the things that no one else liked.
I still listen to Ill Nino quite often tbh 😅
How Can I Live Or Numb?
Judging by a few interviews I’ve seen with him (specifically the rig rundown) John Baizley would not in fact bring vegan hot dogs, just a giant plate of coke
System of a downs first album started and finished nu metal. it’s one of the greatest rock albums of all time.
I don’t agree that it started the genre. But it undoubtedly carried the torch. Great record.
"Blind" started it all. It IS the greatest. Period.
The hate I used to see directed at limp b from
Non chads back in the day was legendary. How times have changed 🙏🤣
My stocking was amazing every year, prob worth 2 to 300 dollars. My mom would always buy my makeup, and that would cost around 120 bucks, and I'd get gift cards, and my brother would get video games. My mom didn't mess around when it came to stockings. But then again, we still got 100 bucks for Valentine's Day (even this year), and big presents for Easter too, not lots of gifts like Xmas, like maybe 2 or 3, whatever would fit in my basket. My last Easter basket was maybe 5 years ago. I started making my husband one too, so he wasn't left out. Lol.
The reason you probably don't see Powerman 5000 is they have jumped around musical styles. They only have the one album that would fit the nu-metal sound. Their first album was more funk-rock then they did a punk-ish album, last one was very synth heavy. Way back in the day, I signed up for their fan club online before Tonight the Stars Revolt came out, and they sent a bunch of stickers out I guess so we could stick them all over as a sort of street team type deal.
And if you are going to say Limp Bizkit, their best song is Counterfeit.
Was anyone into Ultraspank in the 90s? I think they had 2 albums out before breaking up but I was a big fan of the music…. I believe one of the members (maybe two) went on to form the band Lo-Pro later on…which isn’t bad, but…but…. Ultraspank.
13:05 "Song About Nuthin'" from Transform. that's a deep cut
I love Finn's BBQ fan fiction!🤣
CANNOT wait for the day you interview John Baizley
In 1994I was 17 very soon to be 18 when Blind dropped...it was one of the best years of my life.. I wouldn't want to have grown up in any other generation than X.
SAME! I was a sophomore in college... 1991-1996 were my defining musical years...
The fingerless gloves are not expected to keep your palms warm, they are keeping your plams from getting sores for then you're working out or biking.
PM5K had a cancelled album and Also Blood Splat Rating System can be considered a separate release by some. Transform would be the fourth one, in my opinion. Song About Nuthin. A song about how he enjoys writing songs as opposed to freestyling.
True Force and Blood Splat Rating System were ahead of their time. I think Anyone For Doomsday got pulled because of 9/11; which is a shame because it was killer.
I’m going to say something a bit controversial here, but I consider Fear Factory’s “Obsolete” record was nu-metal. I know they come from a death metal tradition, but “Edgecrusher” was a good track. They also embraced the whole trend of metal bands covering 80s tunes (Gary Numan’s “Cars”).
I’m also going to say Orgy “Stitches”… the video for that song was amazing.
both epic, that industrial element still holds up
American Head Charge - Seamless. Not the version from Art of War but the original one with all the samples from the album with a skull on it. What a fuckin' banger.
“Cody Energy” is spot on! Lmao 😂 I know exactly who you were talking about
