Actually, I quite liked SOAD. I thought they were pretty different... but aye, Serj Tankian was very amusing. His voice isn't very good in my opinion, though. He has a solo career now, but it's crap. He'd have been better off staying in SOAD. Have you seen their beards? Funny as **** in my opinion. If I were a guy, I'd definitly grow one like that. http://biglietti.aaannunci.it/annunc...e-alcatraz.jpg

i would of thought that korn had more of an influance on those bands not LP, honestly i think they have had one of the biggest impacts on Nu Metal then really and other band. shortly after they hit the scene you got bizkit powerman5000 and others modeled from them

SOAD is, if nothing else, something to talk about. Slipknot, however, is not a big favorite. Korn is...okay.

Does anyone here enjoy Goth, Industrial or even old Punk?(ala Misfits, The Damned, Clash ect)

Thats true. Although if I recall correctly Korn was one of the pioneers of Nu metal. But it was Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park that brought it to mainstream attention.

Goth isnt too bad, I like it occasionally, I like Industrial, my dads albums are based alot around industrial sound sculptures. Old school punk is great^^

Oh and I like SOAD too. Although Serj's solo stuff is horrible. And I have a beard like that^^

[Halie]

I quite like Goth in some sense. But I'm afraid I don't kow enough Goth bands to really tell. Lacuna Coil and Epica, etc. are the type of bands I've heard...though I'm sure whether I'd classify them as Goth. But I'm useless with classifications and all. >.>

Oh, I think 'Old Punk' might actually be what Mod is, but of course in different countries. Though I'm not sure. But I do know that The Clash were a mod type of band.

EDIT: @You, you do? Awesome. Major respect, there. Haha. *Don't be alarmed to wake up one day and find that it's been shaved off and a note beside your bed explaining that I stole it* Haha.

yes i do, and i am very fond of the last two you mentioned. all 3 to me are very repectable types of music, at least style wise. me and one of the guys i work with where just talking about some of the older industrial and how we would like to see a forthcomin of it again.

[OmniTense]

I'm unfamiliar with the Mod subculture.

But what you mentioned is more akin to Goth metal. Lacuna Coil ect... And they're great, but they're like hybrids and aren't what I would call true Goth. By Goth I mean...let me see...something basic...

*Don't fuss at me Toph, your crimson was so garish and clashed with my blue theme, not to mention it stated the obvious that there was a naked titty mannequin*

You could call this Goth. It's from the band called Attrition. The vid has a cameo by Emilie Autumn.

[Halie]

Hmm...didn't know what to think of that. I liked the beat of the actual music, but I wasn't a fan of the vocals. They reminded me an old lady, for some reason...

As for Emilie Autumn, I've been hearing a lot about her lately. I've been meaning to check her out, but I've never gotten round to it.

[OmniTense]

If ever you wanted to know anything about Emilie Autumn then you must speak with Gobble Vamp. She knows more about Emilie Autumn then most people know themselves. She is passionate about her.

Attrition isn't my favorite band, I picked it because it was handy. But Goth isn't for the majority of people... If it was, I doubt I'd listen to it, really. Because I'd prolly hear so much of it, I'd get sick of it. Also, you could call the song in my sig, Goth.

[You]

@Dystopia: Yeah I dont have the tache and its not quite that long anymore. But its still pretty close...

@Sinister: The Attrition song was ok, but like Dystopia I didnt really like the womans voice too much. The song in your sig is better though. Its not bad.

[Halie]

Aye, I thought the song in your sig was better too. The vocals were alot easier to get along with. Although I must say I was a lot more intrigued by the videos of both songs (though I don't know whether they were the actual videos). They were very strange...meliked.

@You: Hmm...Maybe when it grows a bit, I'll steal it then lol.

Agreed!

Yeah, however I believe KoRn have a slightly elevated nu-metal feel that exceeds the likes of Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park.

Definately agreed. KoRn were slightly heavy shit back before Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit. When they were popularized more by those two, they were much more worldy famous in the mainstream side of things, which, I suppose was good for Korn, considering there's a lot of money in that side of the industry.

She's... repetitive to say the least. Talented, sure, but I feel she's playing the wrong music. It sounds, to me, quite unmatched in many of her songs. That said, I wouldn't say be completely discouraged by the link Sin gave you or by this paragraph, since you may like her. I just personally think she's a bit boring.
