Whats your least favorite album from your favorite nu metal band and whats your favorite album from your least favorite nu metal band
My favorite nu-metal band is Pleymo and my least favorite Pleymo album is 2006ās Alphabet Prison. Not a total wash by any means, āAdrenalineā and āGalaxie autarciqueā are two of their best, but the band was falling apart and unsure where to go after 2004ās Rock or their intended Kyo teamup āOn ne changera rienā didnāt sell as expected. A move to LA to team up with American producer Blackrock didnāt do much and the band broke up a few years later. I like the album donāt mistake me, thereās lots to enjoy, but itās a confused effort thatās trying to be heavy enough to win back old fans while pop enough to maintain new ones. Tough line to walk, doesnāt work. My least favorite nu metal band is Motograter, whose 2003 self titled debut album neatly summarized everything people were sick of in nu metal. Corny costumes, gimmicky instrumentation, stupid nicknames, repetitive unimaginative lyrics about suffering/suffocating/hating/pain, and a real piece of shit bully frontman who has been credibly accused of abuse multiple times over. Out of their two albums Iām going to say my favorite is 2017ās Desolation off the simple strength that it doesnāt have Ivan Moody on it.
greatest slipknot song
āDuality.ā Sometimes the obvious answer is the correct one. I went into greater depth here but itās everything the band was doing well at that moment bumped up one impossible notch to something era defining. Now if I had to pick their best deep cut? āSurfacing.ā
are you gonna get a tat
I have a polaroid picture taken of me recently here on my desk and in it thereās a weird shadow hitting my arm andā¦ I canāt quite explain why but seeing that photo I now know for certain getting my right forearm tatted up would look fire as hell. So, time to start getting ideas together. First up? Nothingface Skeletons cover.
Best Nu Metal guitarist NOT named Wes Borland?
Good ass question. Iām going to go with Munky and Head of Korn who brought an incredible sense of innovation to the 7-string downtuned guitar on par with any other guitar player of the 1990s. But Iāve never had strong opinions on guitarists, I might take this question to the timeline later.
Favorite Adam Sandler movie? Important question
Paul Thomas Andersonās Punch Drunk Love. A sensitive and revealing performance that feels like Sandler crafting a genuine human being out of the romantic comedy dopes heād been portraying up to that point. I like him in Uncut Gems too but heās a real wonder in Punch-Drunk Love and I donāt think weāll ever see that side of him on screen again.
girlcock or boypussy?
Girlcock.
nothingface skeletons as a tattoo omg that's such a slay!!
Usually a band has to have at least one really good song to kick off a career with the longevity that 5FDP has had. And yet they have no good songs! In a better, more sensible world, Motograter would have been as far as Ivan Moody ever went in the music business.
