Mushroomhead
 

I love them, wondered if there are any other fans of them on this site.
And fan or not, if you've heard them, I seriously need help classifying them, I've never been good at that.

Any help would be much appreciated and any fans to discuss things with would be fun.
Thanks.

what type of music is it?

That's what I need help with. XD
They're metal... mostly. No real idea what they would be classified as. >_>
And bogusly enough I can't post urls for you to check them out. <_<
So. their main website is just their name '.com' and they have a myspace.
myspace . com/mushroomhead is it.

nu-metal?

anyone saying otherwise is in denial.

I know as a fact Mushroomhead is not nu-metal, a term coined for rap metal, wheras Mushroomhead is a dual vocal band, mostly comprised of Jeffry 'Nothing' singing, and J-Mann, who has lef tthe bands scream-sometimes rap. It's an infusion of many things, including Nu-metal, but I'm quite sure I could have classified it as such, should it have been quite so simple.

I read the Wiki article dubbing them Alt Metal. Which is I guess decent... But Idunno, they have Industrial influences, with hip-hop thrown in, some heavily melodic songs, it's just strange. ^_^

So... screaming/singing/rapping vocals... pseudo-industrial instrumentation... occasionally watered-down melodic songs... yup, sounds like nu-metal to me.

Twisting my words does not do judgement unto the band.
I was more hoping for people to actualy listen before passing judgement.

Apparently that's beyond the bounds of this message board. Which is absurdly pathetic.

I can tell Nu-Metal from Metal, kthx.
Go listen, it might help you understand a few things. And if you're incapable of searching on google, message me on AIM and I shall send you a song or two, as I've made that screen name viewable.

I have listened to Mushroomhead in the past, back when I was still into that kind of music.

kinda glad i didnt buy the cd...now.. i got Phish :)

Then you misjudged.
I even like nu-metal, I love Slipknot, for instance.
But they just don't fit in to Nu-Metal, even my extremely-against-Nu-Metal friend find Mushroomhead original >_>
But whatever. No use with you people. You completely step down on everything that you find mildly annoying, apparently.
For a place that I've seen consider Nu-Metal scratching discs to rap to teen angst, something having an occasional 2/3 and rarely ever in the same song doesn't seem to qualify.

And I always thought KoRn started the Nu-Metal thing?

Jesus, its like you're taking being called nu-metal as an insult to the band. I'd consider them nu-metal.

No you're just retarded. Nu Metal is not just rap metal. It's watered down, safe "metal" for angsty teens and rednecks that could make it on MTV.

So a personal attack is how you justify statements, interestingly pathetic.
All you've shown there is you really have no idea what you're talking about.
Mushroomhead has no genre, they're an infusion of funk, hip-hop, metal, and industrial. Nu-Metal doesn't even suit the music they produce, as they were spewing out long before 'Nu-Metal' was even a term.
It's not 'Rap Metal' as I've already said, it's not 'watered down' either.
And it certainly is not about teen angst, it mostly has religious statements, questioning 'facts' about religion. But obviously I'm not welcome on this board, and won't be back. I'd rather discuss music somewhere it's discussed, rather than argue about it with brainwashed people who think just because a band can get publicity, it's not worth listening to. That's like not drinking water, 'cause everybody does it. Simply ingenius. Now enjoy your childish ideals and insults. Retarded is not a term that should be used as an insult, on someone who escaped it. So I'm gone. You're a jacka ( I assume the maturity level on this board is of the level where words must be censored, for your apparent safety) ss who should probably work on social skills, and get laid.
Now as to having a name 'Beat yr own kid' and then referring to others as rednecks, to this, I have nothing else to add.
Good bye to a forum full of apparently, imbeciles.

lawl someone call the waaaaaahhhhmbulance. You defending a nu metal band as "genreless" is pretty priceless. And for the record, since no one asked, my name is a parody of the band Be yr own Pet. Way to win at life there pal. You trying to act like some sort of psuedo-intellectual is pretty hilarious as well. When you get a better grasp of music, come back one day.

<_< lololololol You got me, I personaly like Nu-Metal, in reality I'm a complete jackass. ^_^
I was having fun with my falsetized stuck up attitude.
Can you tell I was bored?
Mushroomhead IS kinda Nu-Metal. But they're more, and I'll always stick to that.
And I enjoy my music.
I like a large variety of things.
Running Wild, Einherjer, Kotiteollisuus, Oomph, Zeromancer, ranging all the way to 7 Mary 3, with a little MSI thrown in for random.
Yes, well, I figured making a topic for Mushroomhead would be a good way to get in some absolkutely one sided arguments, so i did it. And boy was I right. And I got my ass handed to me, good job with that.
lolol :p

One sided elitest arguments are what internet forums are all about.

I know. XD Fun stuff.

It's the only reason I post.

Mushroomhead is one of the bands that is killing good music.

Way to go Naes

well....they cant be as bad as disturbed. Can they?

Nah. It's pretty hard to get that bad.

^ LOL my friend told me to get 10,000 fists because the album cover looked more *hardcore* that the Cd I was going to buy.....you know what i did next? Pimp slapped him.

Good man Mike.

You did the right thing. I'm sure in time he'll understand.

Mushroomhead
 

So Jeffrey Nothing left a little while back and J Mann made his triumphant return only 4.5 years ago, anyone know what the scoop is with the band? Skinny? J Mann (Jason Popson). Im deeply saddened that they might be no more

Pretty sure that they're still touring.

without Jeffrey Nothing?

'spose so

Man. I forgot mushroomhead even existed. I remember disliking them when I was a teen. Mostly because of the lead singers voice. I should give them another try. I've loosened up so much that the stuff I disliked might not even bother me.

give em a listen again

XX and XIII are really good albums.

never really followed them I was more of a SLipknot Mudvayne kinda guy

some of there singles are cool but havent really heard any of there albums
