bc rich

Neal Moser vs. BC Rich is like godzilla vs. bambi.

nu metal

A genre started by Korn in the late 80's/early 90's, given a horrible reputation by some of the worst bands EVER (Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park). Often mixes in elements of hip-hop or other genres which can either sound great (Korn, Mudvayne) or OH MY GOD I WANT TO STAB MYSELF IN THE EARS (Limp Bizkit, ICP). Most nu-metal is closer to hard rock than nu-metal.

So to all the anti-mainstream idiots who like to compare every single band in existence to iron Maiden who say that all nu-metal sucks, check out Disturbed, Mudvayne, Deftones, or Slipknots new CD.

And to all the people who say that Slipknot and Disturbed are 10 times better than Iron Maiden and Metallica: SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU TWATS. If it wasn't for Metallica, Joey Jordison wouldn't be drumming right now, so shut the fuck up and enjoy all music.

In short, judge a band by it's quality, not it's genre. Nu metal can be good, or it can be bad.

Drop D

A guitar tuning in which you tune the low e string to d. Often used as a crutch, but many bands use it well (see Led Zeppelin's "10 Years Gone"). But seriously, you could step on a guitar tuned to drop D and it would sound good.

Drop D is really useful if your just beginning to write, but as you advance, you should tune to something else to avoid your riffs getting old.

abercrombie and fitch

Most likely the most over-priced chain store next to hot topic. Sells pre-wrinkled shirts, pre-ripped jeans, and flourescent pink polos. Most shallow preps with no minds of their own spend $40 on clothes they could probably get for $5 and rip or wrinkle themselves.

If you want your clothing to look pre-worn, shop at the thrift store, not Abercrombie and Fitch, Then give the money you saved to charity so children that are forced to wear ripped clothing can get real clothes.

nickelback

A shitty alt. rock/post-grunge/nu-metal band with only one song to be proud of, Side of a Bullet, due to it's inclusion of an unreleased solo by the late, great Dimebag Darrel

Nickelback sucks pretty bad.
