The history of NU METAL - in 22 riffs
Музыка
Following up the last video ("iconic nu metal riffs"), I thought it would be fun to explore some more legendary riffs. From the humble beginnings to the current state of nu metal.
Some of the song choices are based on the documentary series "Metal Evolution", others are my personal selection. In no way is this a super complete overview. Anyway, have fun :)

@@atvena But also took influence from other styles before. Like Korn on "Blind", one can hear the influences from Grunge in early Nu-Metal. Groove Metal, Alternative-Metal, Grunge, Rap-Metal, Funk-Metal, even Industrial at times. Then you had bands like Soulfly and Ill Nino adding tribal influences and more.
Good to see you give Kittie some love. They are so often overlooked.
I would have maybe thrown in a Helmet riff somewhere, I think they had a pretty big influence on what that style would become.

Mr Bungle was one of the hugest influence for early nu metal that should’ve been mentioned in beginning. Korn literally calls their earlier riffs “the bungle riff” for a reason
Kittie and Adema, now we're talking!
No seven dust???
Just had a hell of a throwback moment to my teens. Thank you.
Glad to see some Adema love. People seem to forget about them.
To me the "going mainstream" tracks should have been Korn - Freak on a leash Limp Bizkit - Nookie Those 2 were all over the MTVs of the world and high schools radios, it was insane. Great vid!

What about prong, lost and found 1990. And the rap-metal thing goes back to 1984 with I'm the man by anthrax, and that afrikka bambaata john lydon collab, not to mention the run dmc aerosmith thing a year or 2 later. Also the judgement night soundtrack of rock-alt-metal/rap collabs which iirc was 1993, might have been 94. Also faith no more's we care a lot goes back to 1986, before mike patton. And of course like others have mentioned, mr bungle, and the riffs and lack of solos of helmet, who also had a collab with house of pain on the judgement night soundtrack And early run dmc had some serious guitar riffage on a few tunes.
Bored by Deftones is actually played in standard, not Drop D. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aWFhzKiPlLqamZs.html&ab_channel=Deftones

Underrated song tbh
Korn was heavily inspired by Mr. Bungle
Don't really hear a lot of Nu-Metal in bands after 2004 tbh. Only bands that truly kept to it after that point was basically Slipknot, Mudvayne etc. Mostly a genre known for it's weird image (Slipknot and their jump suites, masks etc), often rap vocals and scooped mid tone. One could say that Pantera had an influence on it from their aggressive style and scooped tone (a part from this it's another example of a band I wouldn't classify as "Nu-Metal"), Deftones & KoRn by their heavy downtuned riffs and Anthrax & Public Enemy for fusing rap and metal. Only new band I came across in YEARS that actually really sounded Nu-Metal is Sleep Theory. I personally wouldn't classify Suicide Silence as Nu-Metal although there is obviously some influence there
Anyone who was there knew that faith no more was going to be first.

This is the problem with categorising everything so heavily. The nuances are so tight that everything eventually becomes everything else

Susie silence is not nu metal it’s fucking deathcore. Just because the album has once Jonathan Davis feature does not make it nu metal lol. Emmure really isn’t either but they’re somewhat inspired by it so I’ll let it pass lol.

Nu Metal peaked in 1999/2000. Everything after that was just the rapid decline. I think Linkin Park and Slipknot came out of it with the most integrity. Limp Bizkit was never a sustainable band and Korn became a parody of themselves before having an identity crisis before just going full mediocre.
