I saw them on their tour for 3 Dollar Bill, Y’all only because Incubus was a new, hot band I knew that was opening. Incubus killed it in this tiny few hundred person venue and then Durst came out and was walking on bars doing House of Pain’s “Jump Around” along with all of the rougher and heavier tunes from their initial release. Borland was gyrating around playing and making sounds that seemed completely knew to me.
Also, I liked Nickleback’s first two albums. SO there. Now all of my credibility is shot.
Everyone should listen to Cane Hill. They are not like the above. :) I love their whole catalog including a stripped down EP they did called Kill the Sun. Wonderful live. This is their latest.
Nickelback did the best cover of Metallica’s Sad But True that I’ve ever heard. My credibility is in the toilet too. They’re a great live band.
Also, I’ll throw this in this thread… saw The Hooters in Philly a couple weeks ago. They are supremely talented dudes. If they ever come around, go see them.
Last few posts were like the musical equivalent of “late at night, when everyone’s asleep, I head to the kitchen and eat the Easy Cheese Bacon n’ Cheese straight from the can”

Only the next morning everyone sees the empty can by your hand which is hanging off the sofa where you fell asleep.
You know you’re gonna be listening to Durst and DJ Lethal’s smooth beats late tonight. :)
Everybody needs some hardcore, fucked-up bang your head shit
So turn it up, bitch
“Dad vibe bounce to the finish. LA-DI-DA!”
Oh shit no.
Unlike most heavy metal nebbishes, I walk the walk when it comes to nu metal. I trash it, and I don’t listen to it(*).

Thanks to @DaveLong I checked out the new LB today and really quite like it. Wes Borland is on point as always, and the songs are all amusing. I did like their Chocolate Starfish album way back when, but haven’t listened to them in years.

Durst could work a crowd. Saw him at Ozzfest back in the day without knowing who he was and it was one of the better sets. Unlike say, Incubus who everyone just wanted to go away as they drug out their set for twice the time of everyone else while we all baked in the heat wanting to see Megadeth, Tool and Ozzy.
That said most of LB’s music isn’t good and Durst is by all accounts a knob.
I’d still consider seeing them live if it was convenient though. Though that would be being around LB fans, so maybe not.

They always were the lesser band, in comparison with your Nightwishs, Epicas and Within Temptations. The band dissolved in 2009, the vocalist moved to Nightwish, so it all ended well.
Noo Nekrogoblikon! Has some modest nu-metal vibes, funnily enough.
And, really, more hard rock than metal, but Bob Catley has great cameos in the Avantasia albums, so they totally count. New Magnum at last :D
New L.A. Guns is out today. Phil Lewis sounds fantastic. 64! Tracii’s guitarwork is top notch. Love the bass line in this lighter song from the new record. These are talented musicians creating amazing hard rock in 2021. So glad they found their way back together.

Great Tracii Guns interview here regarding G’n’R’s Appetite for Destruction and the formation of his band.
Anyways, [I] thought it was amazing. Me and my tech couldn’t wait to leave the studio to go home to listen to the record at home. And we listened to that record just like any other fan would. We really bought into it. And at the end of the day, the greatest thing about the album is it’s a real lifestyle album. The lyrics tell stories that are based on reality, turned into maybe a little bit more fantasy, but they’re all rooted in some truth somewhere. And the lyrics and the attitude for the time were truly refreshing, coming off of – hard metal was really the focus. You know, Motley Crue’s Shout at the Devil — we didn’t pay attention to Theatre of Pain , but Shout at the Devil we did. And other bands like that: W.A.S.P., obviously. Ratt was a little slick for what we wanted to do and what Guns N’ Roses certainly wanted to do. So it was all about the conversations that I’d had, still putting Guns N’ Roses together, like: “How do we blend Hanoi Rocks and Aerosmith with Accept?” Those were the parameters. So that kind of left out [Black] Sabbath, left out Van Halen, left out Scorpions. So blues-based, but hard. How do you do that? And also, the L.A. punk element. Not the British punk element, but definitely the L.A. attitude, the punk street attitude.
