21:13 - MechanisT Burn My Eyes (the '94 release) isn't nu metal at all. If anything, that's some kickass thrash (not the conventional type but still thrash).
21:11 - EMols86 About Machine Head or Nu Metal? Maybe I haven't given the genre a fair chance, but everything that I've heard pretty much sucks if you ask me. Just not my style I guess.
21:05 - MechanisT Hair and glam are the stinkers. Nu metal is "good starter material" for many, as was the case with myself. I have fondness of it.
21:05 - Dark†SymphonY I didn't even think Babymetal was even nu metal. I thought it was just extremely bad metal sounds with J-pop.
20:54 - LICH I actually dont mind some nu metal bands, it can be a fun genre, but i agree some bands are a pile of wank.
20:39 - Lit. @Emols86 I hope to God you're joking.
20:18 - EMols86 Although I guess Machine Head has a few good albums on their name, but I can't name another good Nu metal band.
