GNU_Linux Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Ever wanted to hear a rap battle between Korn's Jonathan Davis & Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst? Nope me neither. Nu metal was a mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nu metal was a mistake. A horrible tune and a horrible era for heavy music. I can’t even bring myself to put it in any ‘metal’ bracket as it really isn’t. I’ve always thought of it as ‘fake-heavy’ because it’s just a lot of downtuned guitars and effects pedals. Liked some Korn or LB stuff at the time but couldn’t listen to an album-full of that shit then, and definitely not now. In saying that, I’ve seen both bands live and thoroughly enjoyed both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that struck me though, was when the singer did "The Bairnardo" moves throughout the song. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Shandrix Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Saw this on an advert for Battersea cats and dogs. Fucking horrified. Made me want to kill cats and dogs. I don't mind cats and dogs either. Had to look it up. Thought it would be Dua Lipa. But no it was Jess Glynne. They both have that same injured animal delivery. So maybe a good choice for Battersea. Can you believe this turd was a number one single? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually saw those guys play, and it was strangely hypnotic. The best bit is when he punches himself. The worst bit is when he goes all Tom Waits for no apparent reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a combination of many things. The one out of ten I would give this is probably for the dancing. Kudos to Sammy for not giving a f**k. The growling is bad. The song is just a big bag of nothing. More than anything else, I think this song is the perfect example of how vapid a large proportion American alternative music has become in the last 10 years at least. I'm also looking at you Arcade Fire, Beach House, Modest Mouse. On the plus point, I can definitely see how the best bit is where he punches himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Marr-era Modest Mouse were great, even if he was only in the band to be Isaac Brock’s guardian angel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm maybe being a bit unfair on a continent that continues to give us great records by Yo La Tengo, Parquet Courts and Bill Callahan. They still have a better strike rate than we do over here. But they have in the last few years given us their own version of Elbow with the interminably dull The National and also the frankly horrendous War On Drugs. Compared to those two, give me growling Sammy anyday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
