"Korn was keeping alive the flame of no wave."That claim is a steaming platter of freshly squeezed crap.

So did we reasses nu-metal? AFAIK its status is still "really shitty."

I dunno, those first two System Of A Down albums seem to have held up quite well.

yeah I still like spinning those. most of their catalog really tho later stuff was closer to legit metal

I dunno, SOAD to me had a distasteful "Think we're nu-metal? Wait until you hear THIS" element to them which I found repugnant.
I mean, ffs, they're called 'System Of A Down' for christ's sake. Down they go with the rest of them.

it is happening.
I actually watched this live set on catch up, and it was scary as to how young the crowd were, and how much they knew the songs !
I thought the crowd would be a bunch of grey hairs reliving their nu-metal glory days, but no, the band have clearly connected with a new audience.
oh, and fred was genuinely funny, self deprecating and kind of cool, while the band sounded fucking brilliant.

I quickly flipped through Sylvia Massy's book about a year ago and have been meaning to give it more thorough read. There's a part where she describes the proper way to mic a singer who's hanging upside down, referring to something she did with Serj from System Of A Down. There's also this "How To Shoot A Piano" diagram that refers to a gunshot noise used as percussion in Tool's "Disgustipated."

Never heard of that book before but it sounds fascinating.
