back on topic.. why do folks classify bands as nu-metal simply because they played loud guitar oriented music in the late 90s early 2000s? Surely there are more criteria than this..

I argue again:

1) hip hop drum work
2) no solos
3) loud crust/hardcore vocals on chorus

this is similar to rap-rock though rap rock which precedes nu-metal specifically has the addition of

4) rapping
5) hip hop bass lines/guitar licks
6) samples

It.. all.. just.. sounds.. the same. He breaks up the monotony with a bunch of weird little sounds that usually don't work at all, sometimes are bizarrely interesting, but usually just make me go, "Man, didn't Sonic Youth (and a thousand other weird guitar bands) do something like that on one of their first albums, but they actually had a good song behind it, TOO?"

I agree they have no integrity. Sellout shitheads, really. Major label idiots.

RAGE INSIDE THE MANSION should be their name.

I agreed with every word. Especially when you said "to" and "had".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-LNT1r6GRA Vanilla Ice's nu-metal days haha.

^ The impression I always got from that song was that Vanilla Ice had to try waaaay too hard just to be a third-rate Fred Durst.

I pulled out all 3 amen cd's last night and listened to em. Amazing band. Casey played all the instruments except the drums on all the cd's so every album is consistent since he changed members 500 times. Intense and awesome. Probably better distortion than even Albini. Amazing band.

[Derek]

Yeah Amen are badass!

[atsonicpark]

FEVERED and UNCLEAN and WAITING 18 and FUCK IN LA are just great songs.

They remind me of that band THE FLESHIES... mixed with Ross Robinson.

Wierd i just realized i used to have a crush on John Otto in 9th grade. He was in piano class and band with me. I did not even realize he was in that band untill I read his name. I never liked em probably cause I never thought too much of Wess. They did that Tom sawyer song by rush at the talent show one year. It was OK. I never would have guessed this is where they would be.

[atsonicpark]

I love your posts Gail.
