Eh, well I was actually doing a search on nu-metal and stumbled upon this one...(well some of you might have seen it maybe)

http://www.entertainment.inuk.com/music ... guide.html

Which I thought might be an interesting read since there's so much talk of Linkin park and what not around this site..

(Disclaimer : BTW it's a joke site, and it's not mine, I stumbled upon it.)

Just in case.

/ducks and runs away.

funny stuff, but the only nu/neo-metal (either one gets the point across) band I like is Soulfly and SOME slipknot. Soulfly fucking great, other than that don't like much of the genre.

I saw the most horrible travesty a couple of days ago when I was walking through one of my local music retailers: Linkin Park was catagorized under Heavy Metal.

I almost cried.

*listens to his Shaman album*

Mmmm... American Indian-influenced Prog Metal. This is the kind of stuff that made me wake up and realize just how lackluster nu-metal was.

Viva la Power/Prog Metal! ^_^

Soulfly is made up of former members of Sepultura,I think,which I why they're pretty good.

Whats spelled wrong? "Nu-metal"? Actually, its spelled right, but people leave off the marks above the u. It should be "Nü-Metal"...
