Like all genres, Nu Metal has good bands and it has (more) shit bands. This poll is here to show what Nu Metal band(s) the users of metalstorm like!
Personally I prefer Korn because I'm still not bored of them and they are still putting out albums with very different styles. Most of the other bands become boring quite fast.

Wow, I really don't like the options

I despise 99% of Nu-Metal, But I do like Rage Against The Machine.....at least they stand for something, and the guitarist is unique in his style


I completely agree with this.
This Nu-Metal category is horrible and more than half the bands shouldn't even be recognized as SOMETHING metal.
RATM is a good listen too.

I actually had to look up nu-metal on Wikipedia to find bands LOL. I was not happy with what I saw, metal my ass.

What do you mean you don't like the options?? They give you a whole section for other where you can put anything you want in it.

Disturbed is one of my all-time favourites... But I can appreciate bands like Slipknot, System Of A Down and Korn too... I love listening to the "Ex-Linkin Park"...

Voted for system of a dawn cause imo they are not just a nu metal band but they had a really nice attitude... linkin park would be the second one.... (only for their first 2 albums which where great...)

Ill put it again Slipknot in their best phase (the self-titled and Iowa) represents the best mixture of metal with hip-hop and electronic pop effects. I miss the old Slipknot very much, their latest releases are good, and much more closer to metal, but that's not what I want to hear from them. I miss the eletronic crazy noise songs like ''Tattared and Torn'' or ''Scissors'', and the vocal work from Iowa, Corey singing rap is very good.

I vote for Slipknot.

Mudvayne was really the only Nu Metal band that i actually really enjoyed... Slipknot i only liked there First 2 Albums... Korn i don't like too much from them... i was never a fan of SOAD... i only liked Disturbed's first Album... i do like Drowning Pool... Linkin Park don't get me started, i don't like them at all... Mudvayne was the only Nu Metal band that i liked everything I've heard and was great live... but when Chad Grey did Hellyeah i was very disappointed with it but came back with another great Mudvayne album after so it was that bad

Mastodon is actually more a Progressive Grove Metal band and Killswitch Engage is Metalcore.

I chose Slipknot. At least they have double bass in some of their songs and they would come closest to metal imo. SOAD is definitely a close second.

I'm not a big fan of any of them really, Disturbed are ok though, they have some good songs and some catchy riffs. Slipknot also have their moments on occation. My vote will go too Disturbed though.
