They were nominated alongside these brilliant bands lol. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ghost, Shinedown and Three Days Grace.

Ah so Best Rock Album for People Who Still Think the Iraq War Was Justified.

I guess I have no idea who Ghost is though and just seeing them on that list is making me want to look them up.

RHCP was always dope to me though, didn't know they recently released new material.

yeah, Frusciante came back last year I think, and they released two albums already. It's just more of the same really, maybe three or four really cool tracks, the rest sound like rejected songs from Stadium Arcadium

I would rather listen to Korn than SOAD.

Where does NIN fall on the nu metal spectrum?

Synthgirl · 04-10-2023, 01:27 AM

NIN predate nu-metal by at least half a decade, I'd say industrial metal if I had to class them as metal at all. Were definitely influential on a lot of nu-metal bands though.

And I still love Korn honestly. They were my first "favorite band" back in 1999.

Hopefully not on your feet anyway.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't classify NIN as nu metal. Great band though.

I think the most obvious influence on nu metal as a genre was Faith No More.

The biggest thing that's kept me coming back to a band like System of a Down more frequently than bands like Korn and Linkin Park beyond just generally writing better songs is that they knew how to have fun.

I think Korn had plenty of fun, not quite as irreverent as SOAD but they had the scat screaming, bagpipe parts, their cover of Ice Cube's Wicked, a lot of pretty whacked stuff especially for the mid-90s.

And yeah, Faith No More were definitely a huge catalyst for nu-metal as a whole. Helmet too. But there was a specific subsection of industrial influenced nu-metal as well, like Orgy, Dope, Static-X, etc.

I guess this is the day Synthgirl outs herself as a nu-metal kid, haha. I was into that stuff in middle school over 20 years ago so there's a good deal of nostalgia there.
