Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2004 Nu-Metal is like a combo of power rock and grunge. It takes the grunge formula of simple guitar notes played throughout the entire song with no solos or anything that stands out from each other, and mixes it with a power rock sound and you have nu-metal. Puddle of Mud is a perfect example. Korn is another one. And I don't care if these guys NAME DROP Metallica. Their music sounds nothing like metallica. Plus you know they are lying anyway, because who the hell claims to be influenced by a mega band like Metallica, yet be influenced by one of their weaker CDs(artisically, not commercially of course). I think they are all just trying to get on the metal bandwagon and name dropping Metallica is one way to make idiots notice. Well, it was on one of those "Classic Album" shows, where Johnathan Davis and Aaron Lewis were interviewed as a couple of musicians who loved the Black Album. Staind and Korn sound more like Metallica then Nirvana, if I had to pick one anyway. Puddle of Mudd and bands of that ilk, well I guess you could say that they sound like Nirvana, but they're so horribly bad by comparison and their music is so different in reality that I always hate when people make the comparison. I have never heard a Nirvana song like Control or Blurry. I guess the point is, none of these bands sound like what I'm being told they sound like. It's just a bunch of labelling done to try and sell them as the next big thing. We all know this, but when people use this information to bring down Nirvana, then it should be pointed out that it's not their fault these bands pretend to be like them, and that should not be used when discussing their music.

No one is blaming Nirvana, or detracting from Nirvana because of what came after. It just happens to be that Nu-Metal was the bi-product of what came right before it. Just like how most genres start. As far as Stained sounding like Metallica......WHAT!?! Maybe I have just not heard enough Stained(hah yeah right). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2004 Isn't that the lowest you can possibily be? A second rate nirvana? You mean Silverchair? Disturbed influence lies in Iron Maiden more than Metallica, which is weird. As for Puddle of Mudd, the lead singer is trying to sound like a combination of Layne Staley and Kurt Cobain.
