Nu Metal is a form of music that evolved from punk/hardcore in the metal deprived years of the early nineties. The band that is most often credited with the creation of Nu Metal is KoRn, or in other words the greatest band ever. Nu Metal is unique because unlike heavy metal which involves a more complicated and changing guitar riff, a Nu Metal riff is more repetitive and simpler, which means that most songs revolve around the tempo/pitch of the riff. Nu Metal has been on the descent because of shit bands like Limp Bizkit and slipknot, but many people fail to realize several other good Nu Metal bands such as Tool, KoRn, Godsmack, and Disturbed. Another thing, metal was failing miserably in the nineties, especially after the grunge era with bands like Nirvana, and metal was going to soon be pronounced dead, but like I stated earlier, with the arrival of bands like KoRn metal was reenergized and popular again. So the next time your going to bash Nu Metal, or a Nu Metal band, thank them (or at least the early ones, some new Nu Metal bands like slipknot suck) for saving the heavy metal that we all love today
Nu Metal saved metal and changed the way we look at music
++++Good Bands++++KoRn (godfather of Nu Metal), Mudvayne, Tool, Godsmack, Disturbed
----Bad Bands----Slipknot (music is pure shit, no talent) Linkin Park (could be good but music sounds all the same), Limp Bizkit (Need I say more?)

A nine piece band that originated from Iowa, and while I think they have talent, I believe that they dont use it and/or some of the band members waste it.
For example...
Joey Jordison-Fantastic drummer, the guy is amazing, best in the world in my opinion
Corey Taylor-Suicidal, recovering alcoholic, but thats beside the point, Corey Taylor sounds great in the studio right? Have you ever seen the guy live? He sounds like shit, no joke, I could sing better.
Oh, and thats another thing for all you Slipknot fans who think that they're the greatest band ever, have you ever heard the rule that a band is only as good as they are live? Well Slipknot sounds like SHIT live, I saw them live about a year ago, and I was so dissapointed, they just sound like a bunch of drunken sailors slapping their instruments, yuck. So...if I was in Slipknot I would get Corey the fuck out, get rid of the masks because that was MUSHROOMHEADS thing, not yours, they were first, look it up if you dont believe me, oh, and make Joey the lead singer, with all the talent that guy has I wouldnt be surprised if he could sing
Slipknot has talent, they just waste it with shit band members and shit guitar riffs that they steal.

A band that was formed in 1993 in Bakersfield, California, and emerged with their first album "KoRn" in 1994. The album was a hit in the metal world, as no one had heard anything like it ever before. They have since realised 7 other studio albu,s : Life is Peachy, Follow the Leader, Issues, Untouchables, Take a Look in the Mirror, See You on the Other Side, and an Untitled album. Unfortunately for KoRn, several other trash bands like Slipknot and Limp Bizkit tried to copy their sound, and gave KoRn a band Nu-Metal rep.
Line Up:
Jonathan Davis - Lead Vocals - A really unique singer with the ability to reach many different vocal ranges. He can also scream/scat, as well as play the bagpipes.
Munky - Ex-rythm/Present lead guitarist - Munky is a guitarist that tries, and tries very very hard. Although not containing the best technical skill, he does his best with what talent he has and creates some really catchy riffs (aka evolution).
Fieldy - Bassist - Although at one time probably the worst bassist in the music industry, Fieldy has really matured his sound and style and pioneered the slap-bass technique. You can really hear his skill in songs like "Here to Stay" and "Got the Life".
I am not going to both mentioning Head and David as they are no longer a part of KoRn...
Now for a more personal note. I love KoRn.
No, I am not some 12 year old kid with an attitude problem, No, I do not like Slipknot. KoRn is a band, whether or not you think they are metal, is your opinion, but like it or not, they are huge, and sell out concerts all over the world. The common misconception is that KoRn is pussy metal, or whatever the fuck you want to call it. These statements are made by ignorant people who have a) never listened to them - and - b) followed the crowd with the rest of their "true-metal" friends. My question to them is, what is "True Metal"? Metallica, Slayer? I listen to all of that, and if "True-metal" is heavy stuff like that, then black sabbath and led zeppelin arent true metal...and they are the reason metal is alive today...
Case and point, dont judge a band you dont know anything about, because your bands get trashed by people too, and dont tell me it doesnt annoy you. Accept the fact that other people like other music, and dont act the badass because you like death metal or hardcore....
Yes urban dictionary, this was mainly made to silence the shitheads who have nothing better to do than dis my music.
"True" metal head : Dude KoRn sucks why do you listen to them, only little kids like that trash.
Me: obviously not...have you ever even listened to their music...?
"True" metal head : I dont have to, I just know they suck.
Me: Thats kind of ignorant...no?

Being rejected at your request to post a definition, however more than half the time the "editors" will just deny your request without even reading it. You can tell because if you send in a well thought out post, and its rejected, and then you look at some other assholes entry which is like "METALLICA FREAKIN ROX" you get really pissed off. I hope the asshole editors are reading this, and I know that they wont post it, just because they are assholes.
Guy 1: I'm always rejected by Urban Dictionary
Guy 2: I know right? Urban dictionary sucks.

Jonathan Davis is the lead singer of the popular Nu-Metal group KoRn. He was born and raised in Bakersfield, California where he lived with his Dad and step-mother. When Davis was young he would often sit around in his fathers music store and learn to play random instruments, one of which is the bagpipes which Davis plays in many KoRn songs. Davis began singing for the local band Sexart, before KoRn guitarists Munky and Head saw him preform in a bar and asked him to join. Jonathan Davis has been the victim of a terrible childhood, he has suffered through atrocities such as sexual molestation, family abuse, and extreme cases of bullying, he uses all of these expierences as inspirations to write songs, which makes his song lyrics very dark, violent, and emotional. Davis' singing style can not be described through words, he has a wonderfully unique voice, and he also has the ability to scream/scat/shoat; a song in which you can hear his singing talent would be "Did My Time" off the album "Take A Look In The Mirror". In 2006 Davis was diagnosed with a rare blod disease, but was released with a clean bill of health, and now takes medication to regulate his problem.
Guy 1: "DUDE! JONATHAN DAVIS'S VOICE IS SICK IN THIS SONG!"
Guy 2L "Dude, I know, he has a great voice."
