the Darkness were a great band and this song fucking ruleshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoHBZPOGU2g

Love the whole album. I was dating a girl at the time and we always joked about how if we got married, our first dance would be to “I believe in a thing called love”. Fun fact (for me): someone asked me to drive them to a 10 stair rail (30 min away) and he would give me this cd as compensation.

Pre-COVID pretty much everything at BB&T ended up on Groupon so my wife and I have been to so many shoes there. I think every time I've seen Korn over the last few years has been there.

Life is too short to be angry at the Shrimp Blunt intro
admittedly, i just skimmed through this conversation on "Nu Metal," because when i see bands like TOOL, "Rage" (bro), and Korn being mentioned, i throw up in my mouth a little and know that this is not a conversation for me.but, i do remember digging Helmet's first couple of albums--especially Meantime--and later on down the line, always assumed bands like the above listened to too much Helmet at some pointshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWwhdINdMs8http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP657058PbQhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezpJCYBIDCM
A big thing in the creation Nu-Metal was the Judgement Night soundtrack... which was the first time I remember hip hop and metal/rock combining.

Definitely their golden child and highest selling band. I’m sure there were others, but they were the first group I remember that played metal but didn’t look metal... they had crew cuts and looked like skaters.

I felt like when Meantime came out and ‘Unsung’ was on MTV, people started cutting their hair and rocking chain wallets and cargo shorts. I dig Helmet, btw... but that’s a good starting point.A big thing in the creation Nu-Metal was the Judgement Night soundtrack... which was the first time I remember hip hop and metal/rock combining. There were a few collabs prior (Anthrax and Public Enemy), but that seemed to kick off a genre.I think you could throw Pantera in there too... they started that whole ‘groove metal’ thing. Maybe when White Zombie went metal, too.[close]But on the same note Helmet reminds me of post hardcore like Unsane, Unwound, and Born Against.https://youtu.be/2dy7Cg36qfY[close]
