Nu/Faux Metal Bands Rocked By Slump

Jim Farber of the New York Daily News is profiling how the hard rock sales for the past few months have been dampened while faux-grunge group Nickelback, '70s-style acts, Jet and The Darkness, and arty act Incubus have enjoyed success. Farber cites P.O.D., who saw their last release, 'Satellite,' move 2.7 million copies in 2002 while its latest 'Payable on Death' CD has fallen to No. 186 on the Billboard charts after just 13 weeks, selling just over 400,000 copies. Meanwhile, Limp Bizkit's 'Results May Vary', is lumbering in the low 80s on the chart after 20 weeks, selling only as many as first week sales of their previous effort, 'Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water', moved in its first week. Korn's dropoff also is cited.

The article title "Metal bands rocked by slump" surely is incorrect as these bands hardly qualify as metal, with Korn being the closest of them, and their sales probably hurt by the lackluster Untouchables anyway.

Yeah, some of these bands get aded to the bands database by news being posted about them. But there will be a "cleanup" of sorts in the future where we go through and disable the display of band pages for some bands that managed to get added that are not metal. It'll be a pretty liberal view of metal, bit some of these bands gotta go!

YEAH, GET RID OF DEATHMETAL

23. MeTal_Razor writes:

Yea sure. Get rid of death/black metal-related news on a site call MetalUnderground.com. Yea I can see the brain-pulverising logic in that. But for the love of Lucifer, erase all the pop-poser fairy-dust bands that clog up this site's top story slots.
Examples are LP, Evanesence, Limp Bizkit, Trapt, etc.
Oh yea, and Toogood has got to go as well. Don't you have another site you can post at, like MTV.com, PopCentral.com or GayButtSex.com

And thats my 2 cents, and you'd all better get used to hearin' a whole lot more of it.
