Not crap, although I have barely listened to them since White Pony, and I vaguely remember reading the guitar player is a conspiracy wingnut (edit: sorry, I skipped over the posts about it in this very thread, woops, but either way, pretty weird).

I liked them a bit back in the day though and on the rare occasions that I hear a song of theirs out in the ether I still like it, so hey have a Not Crap.

This seems to be the band that sad gothy teenagers continue to fixate on, for some reason, which has always amused me.

If _X_ is to nü metal as Fugazi is to Hardcore, then X = ? Would it be post-nü? Or a more emo version of nü-metal, should we call it Enü?

There's a reason...

There is no place in the entire multiverse where Korn are even better than Limp Bizkit.

Never mind Deftones.

lol...I think we need a nu-metal thunderdome. My vote is for Slipknot, as they seem to lean into the "metal", and their songs appear to be about fucking sheep rather than how profound getting a bj is.

I don't think we need this (yuck) but if we did one I would choose SoaD or RAtM (if they count).

You can never win anything if you are Rage following Inside Out.

Automatic points off.

Never mind that Zach could never touch this on his best day...



(Even if it might not have happened without Inside Out...)

Past all of that...

When one of the other bands mentioned took Quicksand out during that short stretch where they got back together?

Drop me a line.

I'm happy that you find pleasure in listening to that. I do not.

Anyway, I shall vacate this thread.

I saw that tour. It was awesome.
