Did you ever like korn?

[stupid dogbot]

Oh kinda speaking of silly punk stuff. U made a good discovery the other day.

No fun at all.

They are pretty danm good. Swedish fat wreck style, kinda lagwagony. I likes.


dave

Yes.

 

[Geri]

I tried it in a curry once, but I wasn't impressed.

 

[Madusa]

anything, I just didn't like them much.

The only band I still think are great from that timegenre are Slipknot, otherwise most of it's got tired.

seriously? Slipknot just got on my nerves. I saw this interview and they were still wearing those scabby masks with facepaint UNDERNEATH aswell. And were just going ''yeah, where we come from in Idaho or some place we're so bored, we kill all our classmates, we're so fucked...''

 

[clandestino]

no they werent. The first album was fucking ace when it came out! It got pretty tired quickly, admittedly

I dunno. Toxicity was great, and the double album had some fantastic stuff on it. Much underrated I think, and hardly nu-metal. They were far more sophisticated than that.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Better than any Korn album. Fact*.

*facts may actually be opinions

 

[El Jefe]

*Facts may actually be opinions

HERESY!!!! 111!!!!!

 

[stupid dogbot]

I was just trying to make people who might disagree feel better.

What are you doing with that fire?

 

[strung out]

what kind of punk though? The American skate stuff was just so whiney. Horrible.

strung out, no use for a name, lagwagon, mad caddies, capdown, rancid, nofx were my favourite bands. dont think any of them were really whiny though.

nah, Toxicity was very much a nu-metal album. No doubt about that. I remember being on a tube train with my mate when I was about 17, huddled together sharing the headphones playing her SOAD's first album and she thought it was Jewish folk music at first

 

[El Jefe]

btw, i never really got round to Dillinger 4. Where's a good startin point?

 

[newme]

Yup definitely at the time, havent listened to any in that long I couldnt tell you if i still liked em now.

 

[Madusa]

actually, capdown were baaaad. They rocked it!

 

[skyscraper101]

Slipknot were also crap, but mildly amusing so not a complete waste of space.

 

[stupid dogbot]

That one, Midwestern Songs of the Americas.

It might not be great art, but it's fucking cracking punk a la Fat Wreck.

 

[kained&able]

actually, capdown were baaaad. They rocked it!

possibly my favoirote band of all time. and where my name comes from.

I loved all the householdname stuff. 5 knuckle, big d and the kids table, light year. Oh yes!

Oh and i hayed slipknot at the time for some reason quite liked a couple of the latter albums, what ever was releaed at the time when metallicas forgot what a solo was.

dave

 

[Dillinger4]

Yep, Midwestern Songs of the Americas is pretty good.

They are not the best thing ever but I really quite like them.

This is probably my favourite song by them:

[futha]

Bang On.

Slipknot rocked, the others just whined

Iowa is a great album

I used to vaguely know Light Year.

 

[El Jefe]

this thread needs more Leatherface, J Church, Bob Tilton, Baby Harp Seal, 7 Year Bitch, Vorhees and Nomeansno

 

[El Jefe]

i know Kafryn from Household Name

 

[Madusa]

Iowa is a great album

oh yeah, that's where slipknot are from...not Idaho.

 

[clandestino]

But the fact that your friend picked up on the folk elements to their music kinda proves what I was saying. Nu-metal was fairly formulaic - downtuned guitars, whining vocals, sludge, bash, moan - but SOAD threw in all sorts of weird time signatures and odd Armenian folk bits, and just messed up the formula. That's why I think they've got more to them than, say, Papa Roach.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Ummm... I've seen the Arteries, who are on Householdname, a couple of times this year.

Not quite the same.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

seriously?

Yes, seriously. That was the proper thrash shit, not some radio-friendly game soundtrack fodder. I just put Iowa on to check I wasn't being daft and no I'm not.

 

[kained&able]

umm anyone got any 5 knuckle stuff they would be willing to send to me. I owned it all but lost everything but the all ages e.p in my carsh in feb.

I will be very grateful.

Never found any availible for download.

I miss owning it.

i agree that soad's first album was good, but it all took a major nosedive beginning with Toxicity. Which most definitely WAS formulaic, but not in the soad way that brought them fans with the first album, but the second album ticks all the nu-metal boxes.

 

[kained&able]

sikth were kinda cool nu-ishmetal.

I liked them. Apart from the lead singer who is a poncey pompus tool.
