The down-tuned nu metal sound is simply absurd. The strings are down so low they are virtually hanging off the neck, leaving a woolly, indistinct barrage of black noise. QUIT TRYING TO BE SOMEONE. Only kick ass rock like Motley Crue's which the entire Dr. Feelgood set was tuned down to D for added power.
Samples, DJs, scratching, and all that lameness: Please! Is it rock or dance? Aside from the sheer lack of creativity involved in samples, the whole vibe of rock 'n' roll with its jamming and unpredictability is removed in a sea of computer-generated mechanical perfection. And while DJ-ing may be quite a skill (debate that elsewhere), to class DJs as musicians is pretty laughable. Anyway, all that stuff is just nauseating. AND their use of loops is simply down to bad musicianship. Losers.
Stupidity: If you asked me to describe any nu metal band in ten words, intelligent would not be one of them. Not would it be if you gave me 1000 words. This manifests itself in the lyrics, where Durst et al, too dense to think of anything to actually say, simply swear for four minutes in a time in a bid to persuade us that they are hard. It's not working, mate.
Melody vs. rap: One problem with guitars tuned sub-sonically low… no one can sing over them. Besides which, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and co. couldn't carry, let alone write, a tune to save their lives. So instead they rap, all very well except that rap depends on a) clever lyrics and b) diverse instrumentation. So with the same beat and essentially same feel, structure, and sound to every song, it is fair to say that all nu metal is in fact one song.
Lack of stage presence: It always startles me how much the members of Stain'd have in common with The Thunderbirds in their on stage movements.
Manufactured: Rock & roll is about rebellion. It is about independence, freedom, and attitude. So a band that is controlled, nay, manufactured by the record company is surely against the spirit of rock & roll. Indeed, it is not unfair to point out that manufactured rock & roll is an oxymoron -- a CONTRADICTION IN TERMS. In other words, these complete idiots posing as rock & rollers are puppets to the industry, simply a cynical, money-making scam which the record companies create and we are supposed to follow like sheep. Then MTV play them relentlessly, selecting the bands that suit the MTV, politically-correct, plastic and unthreatening (to them) way, at the same time rejecting other artists putting out quality product… the record companies and MTV work together to tell you what to listen to. Are you going to let them do that?
FIBI (For Idiots By Idiots): No real comment necessary here (but here's one anyway) ever noticed the lame audiences nu metal attracts? And the way they dress

Nu Metal blows. Slipknot is one of them.

Get the Motley Crue mug.The ONLY decent thing on that stupid ass channel called MTV. On during the late 80's through the early 90's. Hosted by a cool person named Riki Rachtman, he'd feature kickass metal. He actually knows what he talking about. There is a new version of the show, but isn't good, or the same as the old one, because today's nu metal blows.

Get the Headbanger's Ball mug.NOT A STUPID BAND. THEY AREN'T ROCK. A good ol Chevrolet Chevelle. Thee top end model of a Chevy Malibu. One of the greatest cars, ever. DETROIT MUSCLE
by Spartans! January 08, 2005
Get the chevelle mug.The best cars in history. Started in the greatest city ever, Detroit. When put against pussies like british, german or any other european cars, the muscle car will beat the shit out of it. V-8, CID, Detroit Muscle, bitch. V-12's with cylinders the size of quarters? NO!
Gumba Gumba is a douchebag, retard because he doesn't know shit about real cars, muscle cars.
Again, Gumba Gumba is a douche because he said that "the chassis will typically crumple in any accident" Uh, not really jackass, it's called steel, which is something called strong.
My T/A can tear the shit out of that fag's gay BMW.
I remember the good ol days when if someone wasn't driving a muscle car, you'd shoot them.

Get the muscle car mug.Or Cameldeans, these loud ass fucks think they are hard asses from Detroit, when they aren't. They are spoiled little shits who are dumber than rocks. Your daddy own a gas station and doesn't pay taxes, now get the fuck out of here. They think they're black, when they aren't. Black people hate them for trying to be hardasses, and get their ass kicked for it. Pussies who can't fight because they need to call all their stupid cousins, who inbreed by the way, and don't fight clean because they know they'll get their ass rocked when 1 on 1. I have to constantly remind them to shut up because they aren't tough. Good ol white boys kick the shit out of them periodically to keep them in their place. Camels suck.
Camels, get the fuck out of MI.
