Who else remembers how fun Slipknot used to be back when no one knew their names or faces? They were just numbers and masks. I remember scouring the internet in the early 2000s, trying to figure out who they were and what they looked like. It was so exciting whenever I unearthed a photo of one of them!

Who else was on that particular scavenger hunt back in the day? I miss when artists could leave a little mystery and essentially only be known for their work. Now, everyone’s lives are all blasted out to the internet for the world to see, celebrities included. It really takes a lot of the wonder out of things.

Just curious if there's any good bands out there still doing Nu Metal that I should know about and failing that send me some of your lesser known suggestions

their debut album is a serious work of art, their live album is peak, why aren't they more famous? I wish they'd go in tour. if they went to Ohio I'd be the first buyer

I wanna know what some of you guy’s favorite super underground bands are so I can give them listens!

songs with the vibes of wicked by korn and shame by soad, metal songs in heart but with hip hop verses and shit like that

Just that. I saw Static-X last week at Mexico City and he's fucking great. Even if they just played 2 songs from my favorite album from the band, I'm still spinning around with their great performance.

What are your opinions on Nu Metal “must haves”, the albums that are the pinnacle of Nu Metal greatness. You have to introduce an absolute newbie to Nu Metal, what are you using?

I'm hosting a nu metal Halloween party tomorrow night and I'm trying to come up with themed drink names. I'm putting them on paper slips and everyone will draw one at the top of the hour. Here's what I've got so far: Sextape on the Beach Rollin’ (Pear Raid Vehicle) BYOB (Jagerbomb) Bring me to Lime Y’all Want a Single (shot of any liquor) Linkin Tart (whiskey sour) Last Resort (tropical drink) Down with the Sickness (every alcohol) Duality (half & half drink)

If there's any Minnesotans on here, Black Flood Diesel is performing their final concert next Saturday at the Skyway theater. Great band!

Has anyone ever noticed the subtle similarities between mushroomhead and faith no more?

Hi, so my boyfriend and me have varying music tastes. I like Korn, Limp Bizkit, Deftones, Pantera ect ect and hes more of a Zach Bryan, Oasis kinda guy. I listen to his music but he thinks metal is too hardcore for him so im just trying to find a good few bands to slowly introduce him to it. I was thinking Incubus is a good start but does anyone have other ideas?

discovered them about a month ago, and really loved the 'nu strain' record.
