Do you enjoy this or has it become an obligation?
God put me on this earth to show people new music and until Elon finally fucks this place up forever I’m going to keep doing it and keep enjoying it. I’ve always loved turning people onto new music too - all my best memories from High School are eagerly showing friends bands like Clinic and The Dismemberment Plan, knowing they were gonna fall hard for them - but it wasn’t until I discovered nu-metal that I felt I had a real mission ahead of me. Unlike, say, indie rock the vast majority of great nu-metal bands are completely unknown. I’ve only loved doing this more since I started in full time and hey speaking of which maybe invest a few bucks in my ability to keep doing that?
Favourite and least favourite Nu metal band??
Favorite nu-metal band is the French sextet Pleymo; who embody everything and thensome I love about the genre’s adventurous, playful spirit while banking some insanely kickass music in the process. If you haven’t heard their second album Episode 2: Medecine Cake hop that language barrier and get on it. My least favorite is Motograter; who embody nothing I love about the genre with their reductive, repaticious bully music and were, during their most popular era, fronted by the genre’s biggest bully and credibly accused abuser Ivan Moody. So, feel free to extend this honor to 5 Finger Death Punch of whom I’ve heard maybe 10 seconds of one song and feel great leaving it at that.
Best use of a nu-metal song in a movie:
I’m thinking Deftones, “Change (In the House of Flies),” as featured in Queen of the Damned but “Bring Me to Life” by Evanescence gets a pretty badass feature in Daredevil too.
Nothingface?
Hell yeah. If you haven’t listened to Skeletons go do that now. Now now now.
Thoughts on mid 90s to early 2000s techno?
Love that shit. What really makes it amazing is I can fold it into my nu-metal DJ sets and it adds great variety without effing up the flow. Any of that “edgy electronica” stuff works great in the context of the genre.
Why did american head charge break up. I found them from you was disappointed only one album
They have three! And an EP! All of which have music well worth your time! But as for why they broke up, eh, it just wasn’t working out economically anymore. They would get back together and put out more material from time to time but I think with Chad Hanks gone it’s truly over. Pay tribute to them today by banging some of those albums you didn’t even know existed until right now.
Jonathan Davis Vs Fred Durst both are completely naked and covered in oil, who’s winning the twerk off?
Fred. Obviously.
