Korn and Limp Bizkit

complete oversimplification but korn/slipknot > pitchshifter/prodigy/nin > dnb/breakcore > aphex/pusher/snares is how i progressed from ages 12 to 16. oddly i was making some melodic ambient stuff on a SU700 sometime around the slipknot/pitchshifter stage. probably a big brother influencing me with massive attack.

Its funny how my musical taste runs from korn/lb to slipknot to tool, primus, and all the way to autechre and other idm

Diverse tastes, bro

Hearing someone call Limp Bizkit and Korn oldschool makes me feel old.

lol then you probably are because those guys came around over 15 years ago.

Its all pretty unique, strangely structured, detailed, and atmospheric.

i got into korn when i was 11 years old and i still retain a residual like for them. i like the harmonies, even if the lyrics are embarrassing. i would say issues is also an album that i like aswell as the first two. limp bizkit no.

 

 

Yeah one thing I can agree with is that Jon Davis' lyrics are that of a whiny crybaby.

 

The guitar work is fucking epic though, not really in terms of technical skill but rather in terms of experimentation.

bad taste in metal, good taste in electronic music

i used to be a great great great fan of korn. i still love their albums. also, slipknot.

deftones are great too.

Fuck it then someone recommend me some good metal/alternative rock that has a higher ratio of melodic singing than screaming.

I just dont really enjoy constant vocal anguish, I want to listen to some creepy moody stuff. I love the shit out of tool and primus if that helps, but I cant stand bands like alexisonfire and protest the hero because of the incredibly epic heroic tone the vocals take.

I'm in Alexisonfire! <3

lol

Dan C in the hizzouse!

primus was not included in my complaints of 'wigger metal'. primus is hippy prog metal funk

i loved this shit about 7 years ago. god it seems so long ago.

the reason i'm obsessed with the idm now probably has to do with all the blink 182, korn, limp biscuits, and other crappy shit i listened to in middle school.

ooof. blink 182, forgot about them!

i'm so glad there is nothing i regret being a fan of. that would be kind of embarrassing

green day too. but they used to kind of be cool before they just kept releasing the same album.

i still really like mike dirnt's bass tone

That is fucking scary, oh my lol

who are those faggots? and why is the one on the right wearing a "NIAGARA" shirt, is it wisp? he's about the only memorable person from that area.

That's Dan. In fact most of those guys look like Dan to some degree.

lol they all look like gay brothers. like they're trying to pull off the not really caring but i bet they all shower once a day and do their hair in the mirrors

once a day?! holy crap

Fucking shower faggots

Alexisonfire? More like Adanisonfire!

The emo girls love it.
