ok...Slipknot n Mudvayne i can see touring 2gether but not with Disturbed. some numetal aint bad but most of it is just aload of horsesh**. im a old school black/death metal fan. Morbid Angel, Mayhem, Behemoth. but i ADORE Slipknot they are something the world hasnt seen, i especially adore Joey but thats a whole different subject. i just dont get y Disturbed is touring with them unless their making a new record. which i doubt.

Focus shift you should shut the hell up about these bands considering you listen to corny sh** like Dark tranquility and candlemass, you guys listen to mainstream stuff too, and its not like i like every radio song, i like just certain tracks of each, and there is no way you can call Mudvayne's L.D. 50 bad or nu metal or mainstream, its such a great album.

SlugEmperor, you are out of your mind if you are calling Dark Tranquility "corny sh**." Dark Tranquility is one of the founding members of melodic death metal and the gothenburg style, which has had way more influence than these three bands. While I don't mind any of these bands, and I would consider going to the show, this isn't the greatest metal tour ever by any stretch of the imagination.

Hell I liked these bands at a point, but then I realized how much over hype their music was and how much lack of substance there really is.
And I don't recall complaining about people liking mainstream stuff, so your argument about me also liking popular music doesn't bother me.

yeah u did focusshift in a sarcastic way in post 1 and 13 sounds to me like your one of those people that think listening to underground or off the wall metal bands makes u kewl and u can still like bands u listened to in your younger days i grew up listening to pantera, slayer, metallica, motorhead, those bands have tons of popularity n hype and over hype so its not ok to listen to them now your "older' more mature in your words sounds like your still an immature pansy that dont know what they hell u like so u bash others for what they like to listen to. pretty shallow ,like alot of people on here grouping bands into catergories then slamming them cuz u listen to one type of music.thats one of the great things about music is the fact u write and play with an open mind just like you should listen with one as well y u may not like all types of metal dont hate if it aint your cup of tea its damn easy DONT LISTEN TO IT!!..GO BASH ON cRAP music thats what we should as metal fans be focused on and that emo garbage!!!

you KIDS, i weep for the future of all music fans. not a single one of you "hardcore fans" have a clue. you're all sheep. you're all unique, just like everyone else. you into what you're into and that's cool and all, but bashing what someone else is into just because you don't like it is just childlish. run along back to your rooms cry because mommy and daddy won't hug you and paint you walls black. as for me, if this tour happens, I'M THERE. the rest of you "metal experts" can stay home in front of you monitors and talk bout how this concert sucks just because your parents would give you your allowance in advance so you COULD go. go play the justin timberlake album i know you all have and 'cry me a river', b****.

and for those of you who like what you like because you like it and not because someone loser who will probably "TRY" to commit suicide because they "have issues" told you on some forum or whatever that this is metal and this is not, and will be at the concert if it happens, come find and have a beer with me.

Hey bigstick13, you're real tough, trying to make me sound like a little emo/goth kid who hates life and everyone in it. If all this was really below you, then why the f*** are you wasting your time trying to insult us? I can pay for my own way to a show, hell I somehow managed to pay for Van Halen tickets without "crying to mommy and daddy." You enjoy your beer at your Slipknot show, hopefully you won't get into an accident and die on the way home.
And Texas, my comments had no sway about Nu-Metal being popular or not. I was commenting how this site will bash metalcore for being popular yet people on it will (still) defend a weak genre like Nu-Metal.

oh gasp and weep for liking a band that an online community metal site disapproves of because of being popular and not being identical to every other band in their black/death metal genre and completely disregarding anyone else's opinion and attempting to eliminate any independent thought that "metal heads" have--god forbid someone like something different or *gasp* the society likes right?

bigstick, your comment is pretty funny seeing how your description of us "hardcore" fans is how i see most numetal fans. kids who dress "gothic" and talk about how much pain they have in their lives. get a clue dude. and if i was a sheep i would listen to crappy bands that hot topic and mainstream radio promote like slipknot, disturbed, and mudvayne and feel as though i was "different" because i listen to popular, yet heavier, mainstream music.

I am a long time fan of many styles from thrash / power / MELODIC DEATH / EXTREME METALCORE and HARDCORE METAL (mostly German)
Mudvayne and Slipknot aren't anything special but give them a break, they're OK. Leave them and the fans alone. A couple of songs are enjoyable by most metal fans.
DISTURBED - is an awesome band one of the best modern clean vocal bands out there. Haters probably haven't given them a chance.
ILL NINO and SYSTEM OF A DOWN, HEAD CONTROL SYSTEM are excellent bands. Even new album from ALTER BRIDGE is excellent. None of them are good as KATATONIA of course ;)
Be sure to check out MACHINAE SUPREMACY too. Should appeal to fans of any metal

I think dark tranquility is like soilwork only slightly better, in the sense of how they set up songs, and kind of like the haunted. All three bands are talented, and i like soilwork riffs just their verse riffs usually suck, and the way the put together a song sounds bad. I suppose focus shift the actual song isnt bad though.

I know people just throw labels around but these three bands are all definitely of the Nu-Metal genre, and is it not my right to not like it? I was making an honest comment that I'm surprised that a lot of people on this site bash metalcore bands (usually because metalcore is popular, which was my point about wondering why they don't bash nu-metal then. I wasn't trying to be hypocritical by saying I don't listen to anything that is popular; I'm actually arguing against bashing a genre because it is popular).
Lyrically, I find Nu-Metal bands to pretty angst ridden. Sometimes its not a bad thing, it's good to listen to if you're in that kind of mood. But it's not something thats difficult to write. Some of Mudvayne and Disturbed's lyrics are good, Disturbed does a good job handling their religious lyrics (for or against). And I, like a lot of kids who were teens during 2001 was introduced into the world of metal from these bands. But after a while, once you shed the angst and the fascination of such "dark and heavy" bands, all thats left is really. . .simple riffs.
And as for being out of line, it's free reign on this site right? You're going to insult bands I (and others like) and I'm going to insult bands you (and others) like. It's like. But we're metalheads, we get over it and we enjoy what we want to enjoy. . .if we're not just following the (mall)crowds.

what gets me is these bands are very big metal bands... and yet people still pick on them, everyone wants to have there say but just remember this these three bands are making a hell of a lot more money then what most of us are making.. so do any of you have the possition to bag them???

If you ask me the reason I dislike metalcore so much and don't really care about nu-metal is cause nu-metal is so blatently far from metal it doesn't even register with me. Where as metalcore bands ripping off and watering down the elements of bands that are sacred to me then posing as real metal... I can't even describe.

although i only like 4 songs from slipknot, and 1 from disturbed, i just think they are a bit more talented than people say, and i dont think mudvayne should be included in that genre at all, i always liked the label of alternative metal because i thought they fit it better, and nu-metal seemed to fit bands like Korn, and Coal Chamber better. But if you dont view these bands as even metal at all, then i suppose i can understand that label.
58. writes:
Phill, money and fame isn't everything. The reason most of these bands have a lot of money and fame is because they made really, easily accessible music that people so far outside the normal realm of metal got into and flocked to them. Thats not good music, thats good business.

Focus shift you have a very good point, although i have to say i dont feel all radio played music is "good business", so much as good music. Although i definitely agree with you. But for arguments sake, originally slipknot did not expect to make any money off of their music, but as i hinted to before, i really dont like slipknot much, i just like four songs.

I personally am not a HUGE fan of either nu-metal/metalcore, althought I do appreciate certain songs/bands of both genres.
But both styles, in my opinion, are still metal! Its kinda in the same respect that Motley Crue and Ratt were "Glam Metal" 20 Years ago. Its metal its just a version of metal that is alittle different than some of the other forms.
There are plenty of subcategories in the Metal Genre. Nu-Metal and Metalcore happen to be 2 of them. Why they incite such controvery on this site is beyond me. Ive always been a fan of diversity in music which is one of the many reasons that I have been a metal head for as long as I have been (and believe me its been a long time).
Disturbed, Slipknot, and Muvayne all deserve their place on this site.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and that is mine, take it or leave it.

Thrash is yet another thrown around genre tittle; i once heard somebody call devildriver thrash!

Ugh. I wish people would at least learn to type and spell correctly, maybe I'd respect their opinions more.
Labels are going to happen. Break down the music of similar sounding bands and find their key elements, they're usually the same. Thus the idea of a genre is formed. All three bands share similarities with other nu-metal bands and are going to be classified as said genre. Genres make life easier when looking for bands to listen to and not listen to. It's close minded people who won't listen to something because it's not something particular or it is something particular they don't like (and yes, I'll admit I am close minded against Nu-Metal, but at least I've given it a try).

wowowowow post 76. you are so incorrect.
any death metal guitarist is more talanted then slipknot mudvayne and disturd's guitarists combined.
the only band that takes the credit with best bassist is ryan from mudvayne cuz he's nuts
drummers? disturds drummer isnt good at all. mudvaynes drummer, meh. joey jordisen is good but OVERRATED. hellhammer is better then him.
dont get me started on frontmen. corey from slipknot sucks balls now. he cant scream for sh** and he sounds terrile live(i used to own 9.0 live cds). David draimen has no range. he sucks a$$ and just throws hissy fits on stage when he gets hit with garbage. Chad gray is a talented frontman though, he has much vocal range and i give himcredit.
slug emperor, why dont you just try to monopolize on everyone else's posts as well. so what if i feel like labeling sh** even though i said i like to call it sh**. did i say sh** when i said "what a sh**ty nu metal tour"? of course i did.
finally, tempest, why dont you tell us what good music is then you stupid c***. go shop at hot topic you silly mall goth.

Man I should start saving some of my posts somewhere so I can just whip out answers to generic complaints like sYntaculAr's. Why do the only people who complain about genre's like crap music? :P
I thought Mudvayne had some pretty good stuff on "The End of All Things to Come" but re-listening to "L.D. 50" the other day... could some of that be any more "Hey ya'll JUMP DA FUK UP!"

Dark Funeral makes some good points. Here are a few of mine.
-Mudvayne are indeed a decent band for the music they make. They completely put the other two bands on this tour to shame.
-Corey Taylor's voice sounded better when he was an alcoholic. It may not be PC but it's the truth.
-David Draiman's voice live is simply embarassing.
-All three of these bands sounded better to me back when they first started. Maybe it's because none of them have been able to make the same caliber music they made in their earlier days. Or perhaps I've simply grown out of this style of music. Who knows?

I have actually wondered why this concert was never done before. all it needs is Korn and Godsmack and the cliche is complete. I do thoroughly enjoy Slipknot, but the only reason they sound so "heavy" is because they tune down their guitars so much. Besides, the only reason to go to this concert, in my opinion, is to beat the sh** out of a LOT of p***ies in the mosh pits. Mudvayne and Disturbed are...o.k... but highly overrated. Talented, but overrated.
And whoever the f*** called Slipknot Thrash metal is a f***in idiot and an insult to the human race. That is my favorite genre of Metal right now and am hoping to see it's revival in the coming years with bands like this:

wow idiot. go listen to slipknot's "spit it out" and then any linkin park song and tell me that they dont have somthing in common. 'tard. papa roach is alternative rock, mudvayne is hard rock. once again an uneducated mallgoth is just talking out of his ass. Why dont you add some punctuation in your posts so we can actually understand what you're talking about?I have a hard time reading unintellegent jumbles of bs. nu metal is a label, and slipknot/mudvayne/disturbed all fall into that catagory. ACTUALLY i wouldnt even call disturbed metal, they're bad.
I would've gone to see lamb of god and shadows fall then i would've left. slipknot is the sh**tiest live band ever, next to dragon force.

I love genres, considering i like music like atmospheric sludge, and a lot of ambient stuff like post-metal, at the same time as a ton of other metal, and non metal genres, its a good way to see what kinds of people listen to what you listen to, and to better understand what you are hearing. I just feel sometimes genres are no longer based sound, but on bias, thats all. And yeah, you shouldnt base what you listen to by genre, they just are helpful.

Slipknot might be one of the biggest metal bands but they sure as hell are not "one of the greatest". They wouldn't be able to stand upto bands like Lamb of God, Mastodon or Gojira.
But they do have some ok songs, People=sh** or Liberate are actually pretty good songs.

I still enjoy mudvayne and slipknot, not as much lost and found though. but regardless they have unique music. they may be metal and may be alot of things. good metal is not only has an edge but is unique. thats what happened in the 80's with the hair bands was the copy cat things. same with drowning pool with the first light metal cd was good and original but with each new lead singer they try harder to look back instead of changin into something new. disturbed used to be good but haven't changed enough lately. they promise to change alot for their new album . well i persnally will listen and see. as for the whole nu-metal distinction only ratm and early korn can be grouped in that. sure limp biski copied it to some extent but they had no message in their music and vouldn't change thus we no one listens to it anymore. new mudvayne could be intresting they always make the effort to do new things and cory talyor's little antrax stint should change the already awesome but f-ed up mix that is slipknot and could be good or bad, of course if he could not destroy is larynx like allways.if metal is anything it is hard, you can mosh to, head bang and doesn't sound like anybody elses sh**. system of a down, ratm, korn and slipknot at all times sound like rap or other urban music but sound totally unalike and they are head banging music so regardless they are metal. metal is more of a vague catagory then rap, country or hip-hop. the only thing that compares to metal in the vagueness is pop which is the opposite of metal because it is meant to be listened to with a different ear and sound soft, smooth and are full of hope while metal is realist and angry. hell by the vague definition metal has DMX or mystical or any angry loud rapper being almost metal. but thankfully most rappers are emotionless in their rap and can't be classified as singers.

Wow.
Getting back on topic.
Disturbed blow, period.
About half of Slipknot, (Jordison in particular) are clever and gifted musicians, but Taylors lyrics ruin it more often than not. I will credit them for steering alot of kids toward real metal as they were they heaviest band from the whole nu-metal pack imho.
Then Mudvayne.
I like them. The bassist and the drummer are fantastic. Grey is a strong vocalist and his lyrics ring true. Unlike Cynic, I still enjoy L.D. 50 The rhythm vocals are a little offputting on the one or two tracks, but it could be far worse. Not a favorite band but certainly not an act I would speak negatively of either.

quote fearthedje-
since when the f*** was RATM numetal?
the most basic requirements of Nu-Metal are Rapping vocals and a dj, and generally guitars tuned down by a lot. Not sure about the other two, but they definetly rap. and they do it Better than any other rock/Metal band out there that tries to rap. Korn and Slipknot fit that description perfectly I believe. Limp Bizkit was just crap.

yea, they rap, thats about it. they play riffs, they dont rely on textures. rapping vocals are not required, neither is a dj. the most basic aspects of numetal are simple riffs, a reliance on bass, and lyrics that typically deal with angst. RATM doesnt have any of those features. true, numetal was influenced by funk metal bands like RATM and faith no more, but neither of those bands have any of the features of numetal besides the occasional rapping and driving bass lines.

tempter....dont slam a genre you dont know anything about. you've probably only listened to 2 songs off in sorte diaboli(i love that cd), where it may seem like HH's drumming is repetitive to the common ear, but listen to his work with mayhem and your arguement that he isnt diverse is worth nil.
You list many talented bands that i enjoy listening to, iv seen many of them live. but you forgot about slayer strapping young lad metallica megadeth arch enemy opeth etc. maybe you dont like them? i wont ever know, im not tripping on the fact you didnt listen, just saying.
Im just glad you didnt put any hardcore on that list. i fvcking hate hardcore, and in jersey thats all we have besides some metal bands like godforbid(Seen them 3 times).
Hardcore is more repetitive then deathmetal or black metal. hardcore has no sub genres, while black and death metal does? do see what im getting at?
Thanks for your opinion. and dark funeral isnt a struggling band their singers voice is just failing due to age.

"Grunge a sub genre of hardcore?
Haha f*** off."
maybe not a sub genre but a fusion genre as grunge definetly has influences from hardcore.
"Metalcore and screamo are no sub genres of hardcore, they are sub genres of emo. Which comes from pop punk."
actually they arnt subgenres either they are fusion genres as metalcore is a combination of hardcore and metal and screamo is a combination of emo and hardcore and original emo is a subgenre of hardcore which is what fearthedje said its emotional hardcore. There is no difference between a new wave emo band and Good Charlotte (for example) with the exception of more emotional lyrics

fusion genres sub genres whats the difference really? back in the 80's "crossover" was the term for bands like D.R.I., Suicidal Tendencies, and SOD, who were a "fusion" (as you like to call it) of thrash and Hardcore but no one really questioned the legitimacy of those bands. and I dont think its fair to question the legitimacy of the bands today that fall into this particular catrgory, they might not be what you/I/we like but that doesnt make them "not metal"
and nu-metal is a fusion of what? it was just heavy music with a modern sound (modern for the era 1999-2003).
Just my oipinion.
as far as emo, or screamo, or goth or any of that stuff, well I am not as familiar with any of those acts.

the difference between subgenres and fusion genres is that fusion genres combine 2 different genres of music like nu metal which combines heavy metal and either alternative or hip hop, metalcore is a combination of metal (mostly melodic death metal) and hardcore, grindcore is a combination of death metal and hardcore, and sludge metal is a combination of hardcore and doom metal

thanks cynic, i read it, i agree with parts and disagree with others. i kind of feel like if you want to base nu-metal on hip hop influence then why dont you just call it alt. metal, rap metal, hip hop metal, or anything else. I kind of feel like its just a label like New wave british. that is just a label for a time period not really genres, like the newest one they are adding with lamb of god and killswitch, and other bands that dont really fit in.

I'm not even a f****in musician but i a lot of you bas***ds sure wish you were...ooohh they're popular, that must mean they're CRAP...

Popularity to us doesn't make them crap, lack of talent or ability to write music makes them crap. Proof of popular bands with talent: Iron Maiden, Judas Priests, Slayer, Megadeth, Death, and there are many more talented popular bands.
But anyway, for the dozenth time, this is a discussion and opinion site where we are allowed to voice our opinions on bands we do and do not like. Stop letting your panties get in a twist, if you don't like discussion well then your s.o.l.

Post 163: Yeah, but these WERE the bands who were cool in high school (actually it was middle school for me but you get my point). And as for the attitude that popularity is a contrast to quality, I'm pretty sure no one actually thinks like that. If they do, they should listen to some Pink Floyd. And like FocusShift said, if you want popular METAL that's high-quality, check out some Iron Maiden.
Getting back to Disturbed, their album Believe was supposed to be a springboard for them to explore new artistic and musical avenues. Believe was somewhat different then the Sickness and gave them options for what direction they wanted to go in creatively. And what did they do for their next album? They went right back to the sound that got them initial fame. It's stifiling creatively and gets boring really fast for most fans. That's why it blows my mind that anyone actually wants to see them in concert.
Slipknot really aren't as special as people make them out to be. The fact that there are an army of men in jumpsuits and masks on the stage is just an attempt to capitalize on the shock-rock fad that Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson had already milked dry in the early and mid 90's.
But this is where Mudvayne differ from the other two bands. When they realized that their image was overshadowing their music, they lost the overelaborate stage persona and focused on making interesting and provacative metal. This makes them the only band on this tour I'd actually pay to see.

Reading this post i see that 90% of it is all about genre seperations and bashing on each on. Well I have to say is their may not be genres you like, but you must agree that there is things that you can take out of from each one that is great. Thats what makes metal so wonderful. There is so many diffrent ways you can shape and mold it. Some people may not like the way it is construed, but that is what has given metal its longtivety. And you guys should respect that. You cant do that in rap, country, r&b, only in metal can you bring in so many influences. Hail metal and its musical supremacy. Thats why it will be here forever.

coming from a person who used to listen to slipknot all the time, i believe his vocals just got flat out sh**ty on volume 3. so i was like whatever i have the live cd to look forward to. the live cd came out and it was f***ing terrible. He sucks on recording and he sucks live.

mudvayne has some decent songs but a great amountr of them are just sh**, and f*** disturbed and slipknot. whats the f***in point of having 9 people in a band, their music should be a lot better if they have that many member but instead they having f***ing turntables and some fat guy hitting a keg with a baseball bat
