People need to learn how to chill, we all have different opinions, and we all see bands in different ways, I personally do not agree with the tear Bradley put Mudvayne, as I said, they are freaking insane, and they are one of my favourite bands of all time (and I'm really hoping for a mew album), but this is his opinion and it is completely fine, we can't all agree our favourite band will be others favourite, but we can all share our love for metal and agree it is the best genre out there, we got passionate musicians writing songs from their heart, many of the songs we can feel what they're felling, an example of that is Would? By Alice In Chains, I got chills every single time I heard that song, or Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) by The Offspring. Every time I hear thay song, it brings me back to middle school, a time where everything was simpler than nowadays, and bring me back great memories...
The first time I heard Brackish by Kittie I was stunned at how hard the intro goes and then in come the vocals that sound like she's recorded a voice note at 2am while trying to not wake up her parents
I recommend possibly giving more of Spit a chance, or check out some of their later albums. They drifted more towards Heavy Metal later in their catalogue. They started out as young teens in Canada, so their musicianship needed time to grow. They might not be your jam, but Morgan Lander knows her riffs.
the most technical "nu-metal" band on this list.. I mean, apart from some moments where you could say that the singer is rapping and some nu-metal riffs, their music on the first two albums is easily progmetal
AGREE. Eternal Primates is one of the best songs to come out of metal, like ever in my opinion. Such an intense and fun song. Plus the funky bass fills towards the end always get me.
A bit of context about Kittie : they were 16 when they recorded their first album, which is the only one you can legitimately call "nu metal". It's actually pretty decent coming from such young musicians. At the time (2000) they were also one of the very few all female metal band, something that thankfully has become much more common since, in some small part thanks to them I believe. I had the pleasure of seeing them live once back in 2010, and they rocked pretty fucking hard. They're awesome.
They just released a new single for a new album that slams so far. Later kittie albums went hard. Anyone who says the album 'I failed you' isn't awesome is lying to you.
@@slayerdeth0705 check out the later albums when you can. Kittie is one of those bands where they get better with each new release. They now have 7 studio albums as of the new album.
My favorite Slipknot intro is "Surfacing" it still gets me going to this day! Ps i know that papa roach is overplayed but the guitar lick is still iconic to some degree.
I literally cracked my neck bashed my head on my door frame and fellover putting a hole in my wall going down to hard to that banger I am going to see slipknot live end of the year gona be insane live 🤘
I actually like the papa roach that hasn’t really made the radio. Last resort is iconic. I loved that album. I guess my prom date liked it more and stole it after prom. She probably wasn’t the best person…

Being old as F, Mudvayne was such a breath of fresh air when they hit the airwaves. Nu-metal was fast approaching parody point and here comes "Dig" . To this day its one of the last, if not the last, truly heavy songs to chart on radio and MTV. LD50 changed the game at the time. Unfortunately they minimized bassist and drummer each subsequent album, the 2 things that made them unique, and became blander and blander. But to this day LD50 STILL hits hard, legendary album
@@jaygopinath1694yeah but personally he kinda just reccomended them he didn’t rlly do anything music wise- either way.. still an epic band have a gud day dude! 💚
100%. I could listen to LD 50 any time. Can't say that about a lot of the stuff I used to like. Like Follow the Leader was one of my favorite albums in high school in the very early 2000's...tried listening to it now and it's just so bad for the most part.
I guess he just hasn't heard LD50. That album is still a fucking beast. Probably the only album from that era that I can listen to any day at any time start to end.
@@JustAnotherHeavyMetalManiac I love some of the songs on it, but most of them sound very similar. Kinda like little pieces off of one big chunk that is the album😂
Yeah, I always got the idea that Korn was very popular among emotionally weak and damaged people. Same as Nirvana. At least that's the experience I had, being a teenanger and young adult. I'm 40, so I experienced the Nu-Metal's rise to popularity.
@@atvenaif it’s the censored version. If it isn’t on Amazon or whatever site and says Significant other [explicit] Break stuff [explicit] Limp bizkit I’m listening
Mudvayne is way bigger than Dig, believe me. LD50 is so fucking good. And Deftones are heavy, you have to listen their 1st album Static X are damn good, evil disco 🤘
Music snobs avoid Limp Bizkit like kryptonite. That's one of the reasons why I liked them as I entered my 40s. It was a refreshing change to see such unpretentiousness.
The summer of 1999 was peak nu-metal. Follow the Leader was going strong, Significant Other had just been released, gong-show Woodstock 99, the Family Values tour had just been released a few months earlier….fun times.
I think that if you didn’t grow up in the 90s/early 2000s as a teenager listening to these bands in their “era” then you probably don’t get them. The majority of these bands are an integral part of my teenage years and I still love a lot of them today. They’re literally the soundtrack of 90s/00s. The best years!
The best “NuMetal” band was Mudvayne. Aside from the meme “Dig” video, the whole L.D. 50 had some good bangers. Plus their bassist, Ryan Martini is phenomenal. Why he isn’t talked about more, say like, Cliff Burton or Les Claypool in the metal community I can’t understand.
Deftones and kittie go hand in hand tbh. Both formed in high school, both angry, both heavy, except deftones went more atmospheric while kittie went death/groove/thrash metal
4:30 - I want to expand/correct something I said in the livestream about Coal Chamber: So Coal Chamber was sort of Sharon Osbourne's pet project; she was their manager. She got them booked to open for the Insane Clown Posse for what was supposed to be a two-month tour IIRC, but ICP booted them off the tour after only two shows because "they weren't a draw" according to ICP. This pissed off Sharon, which led to a feud between the two and it culminated in a rather infamous appearance on the Howard Stern Show where Sharon bet ICP that their upcoming album would not clear 200K sales and they would be dropped from their label. Sharon lost the bet and has never paid up.
You probably expected a lot of this but I have to give you crap about Deftones. Absolutely an S-Tier. Yes, I'm a nerd. No, I don't care. Here's a nerd ramble: From the third album onward they took so many directions and are probably, out of all of these bands, the most influential in terms of how they've touched on so many different sub-genres, from shoegaze to post-metal to hardcore and much more. I can't see a band like Turnstile being so successful without the mark Deftones made. Not everyone's cup of tea. But undeniably great.
Nu-Metal is the music of my youth and I still think it don't deserve the hate it got (half of that hate most likely was caused by Fred). It got millions into listening to heavy music. Agree with you that LP, SOAD, KoRn, Slipknot and Disturbed are top bands (would probably include Deftones too).
I wonder that Ill Nino doesn't appear in any Nu-Metal tier list? Sometimes Sevendust?! Both imo are more nu-metal than Linkin park (after their first two albums)
I personally love Mushroomhead. Jefferey Nothing has that raw operatic voice that you just don't find anywhere else in this genre. Sure they're repetitive. But that's not always bad if what's being repeated is good.
It became the most popular subgenre because it's the best one so insecure people who make being alternative their entire identity had to cope by hating it
Because a lot of the bands are more hard rock sounding and have no business being labeled as metal. Static x: definitely metal. Linkin park? Hard rock. Korn? More hard rock than metal. Disturbed? Metal. Slipknot: most definitely metal. System of a Down? Metal. Drowning pool? More hard rock. It was a blend and a fine line i guess so people just lumped it all together cause it all had similar aesthetics. At this point it doesn’t really matter to me do you enjoy the music? Great! Don’t? That’s fine too 😂.
@@CreativeMindsAudio Linkin park is not hard rock. They got a bit of hard rock after Meteora, but those two first albums (the ones people mostly appreciate) are nu metal. Korn isn't hard rock either, is literally the band that spawn the genre. Labeling those first 4 albums anything other than Nu metal is not accurate. Also take in mind they don't sound anything like the hard rock bands of the era
you really should listen Deftones's debut album Adrenaline. it's one of the best albuns I ever heard, it's not in the same level as Rust in Peace, Master of Puppets and The Subliminal Verses but it's definitely at the same level of Toxicity and And Justice For All
Bruh, you basically put all of my favourite bands in one video. People that look down on Nu Metal as less legit or "low brow" make me want to get them down with the sickness.
And kittie was also just a bunch of high school girls also. Literally about the same age as Milla kunis, Thora birch, Scarlett Johansson, and Jessica biel at that time
Mudvayne is a tier S band! L.D 50 is one of the best metal albuns ever. Their sound is so peculiar, iconic. Chad gray has a heck of a voice, and Ryan Martinie maybe the best bassist on scene. Most technical band in New Metal era!
Korn was probably at their peak, the best of the Nu Metal. The OG’s. Also, Deftones without a doubt. There would be no Korn without Kyuss. (As well as Faith No More, Cypress Hill, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers) Also, that weird random Ozzy song you clicked on, was a cover of none other than England’s own, Peter Gabriel, "Shock The Monkey."
I'm quite perplexed that you placed Deftones below Limp Bisquick and Static X, but I understand that it's your opinion, and I shall respect your ranking Bradley Hall (I love you and your content mate). To me Deftones isn't necessarily nu metal. I feel their sound kept evolving with each record they put out with their roots intact, but never fully copied their biggest release (White Pony).
Mudvayne is freaking insane. Every single album and song are awesome... Drowning Pool the first album with Dave Williams is the best, and I am still listening to this day... I was thinking about this yesterday, I would love to see something about Skindred, just like Mudvayne, not even a single album or song is bad! (Didn't hear the entire Smile album, but for the songs I heard, still great)
I actually prefer Disturbs later works, when they moved away from the sort of nu metal roots, and showed off a lot more of theur musicianship. The percussion is insane, and Dan Donagan is a monster guitarist. Another Way to Die is such a great song, and the message is still poingant to this day.
Kittie slaps, I like em. Also they wer like 15-16 when they released their first album, Spit. Was very much into Slipknot, KoRN, SOAD, Clawfinger, Coal Chamber and Static-X... with a bit of Disturbed on the side. Still listen to most of it on occasion. ALso kinda funny that Disturbed shared that parody of them that is on RUclips somewhere on Facebook. Hilarious video that.
Morgan (the singer) was a high school senior/legal adult (18). Talena (the bassist) was 17. And Mercedes (the drummer and Morgan’s younger sister) and Fallon (guitar and backing vocals) were both 16
100% wrong about Mudvayne, the entire LD50 albums rules, and early Godsmack had tons of hooks, cool riffs and good writing, man. Huge miss with those two.
@@Steve-gq5zygroovy, grungy, alternative rock with dj scratch??? Not nu metal?? Coldplay is full alt rock, incubus is alt rock category in nu metal genres, like limp bizkit hip hop or skindred reggae
Remember the US Navy had that recruiting ad with their song 'Awake'. "Life - Liberty - And the Pursuit of all those who threaten them" was that catch phrase at the end of the video.
In all honesty my top 3 songs id recommend from mudvayne are: 1. Death blooms 2. Happy? 3. Scream with me Leaving aside the the s tier band member. Chads as a lyrist and vocalist is definitely shown in death bloom live 2001 rock am ring.

you really should listen Deftones's debut album Adrenaline. it's one of the best albuns I ever heard, it's not in the same level as Rust in Peace, Master of Puppets and The Subliminal Verses but it's definitely at the same level of Toxicity and And Justice For All
Ahahaha the bbr bbr deng bbr bbr deng segment made me spit out my drink, fanks baenzley
Nu Metal was my introduction to Metal and Rock
Love the video. But other Nu Metal bands I enjoy are Sevendust, Ill Nino, Soulfly and Nonpoint
Hey we kind of have similar taste
Limp bizkit is trve kvlt 🐐🐐🐐
Disturbed is a one-of-a-kind band with huge choruses and awesome riffs, and those OW! and AH! sounds David always makes are very addictive
the iconic ou ah ah ah ah will always turn you to monke mode
Bruh, you basically put all of my favourite bands in one video. People that look down on Nu Metal as less legit or "low brow" make me want to get them down with the sickness.
korn, more like....... peas
THAT GOT ME😭😭
Nu metal is more of a time period than it is a genre
Just like Grunge
An all female Metal Band was a revelation back then, at least to young women.
And kittie was also just a bunch of high school girls also. Literally about the same age as Milla kunis, Thora birch, Scarlett Johansson, and Jessica biel at that time
Mushroomhead is a great live band. I saw them a ton at the Alrosa Villa back when it still existed.
Bro did Mudvayne dirty 😢
Mudvayne is a tier S band! L.D 50 is one of the best metal albuns ever. Their sound is so peculiar, iconic. Chad gray has a heck of a voice, and Ryan Martinie maybe the best bassist on scene. Most technical band in New Metal era!
I would love to see you react to 80s hard rock/glam bands like Extreme, Europe, Ratt, etc.
Now we are talking. 80s hard rock 👍
And on the bracket right above the Nu metal S tier is where the general metal music tier table starts...
Korn was probably at their peak, the best of the Nu Metal. The OG’s.
Also, Deftones without a doubt. There would be no Korn without Kyuss. (As well as Faith No More, Cypress Hill, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers) Also, that weird random Ozzy song you clicked on, was a cover of none other than England’s own, Peter Gabriel, "Shock The Monkey."
I would say Faith No More, Helmet, Prong and Primus more than Kyuss tbh. However, I do love me some Kyuss
I'm quite perplexed that you placed Deftones below Limp Bisquick and Static X, but I understand that it's your opinion, and I shall respect your ranking Bradley Hall (I love you and your content mate). To me Deftones isn't necessarily nu metal. I feel their sound kept evolving with each record they put out with their roots intact, but never fully copied their biggest release (White Pony).
YOU FORGOT ILL NINO AND SOULFLY
Nu metal from that era just makes me think of the older WWE video games.
I quite like Nu Metal, it was the refreshing genre Metal needed as a whole.
Sevendust are underrated as fuck
Putting mudvayne in bin tier is crazy
Funny you should mention vampire movies... This whole video could have been the Queen of the Damned soundtrack.
2:00 Papa Roach stole some Iron Maiden's Riffs!
Mudvayne is freaking insane. Every single album and song are awesome... Drowning Pool the first album with Dave Williams is the best, and I am still listening to this day... I was thinking about this yesterday, I would love to see something about Skindred, just like Mudvayne, not even a single album or song is bad! (Didn't hear the entire Smile album, but for the songs I heard, still great)
I will not let Mudvayne be disrespected like that with an album like LD50
None of those bands would be below B tier for me. Sigh. You're just too young, you weren't there, you just don't understand my music maaaan
Bradley is like the ADHD love child of Weird Al and Willow
I remember going to my first ever concert, i got to see Powerman 5000, Static X, Mudvayne, and Rob Motherfuckin Zombie himself in once concert!
I actually prefer Disturbs later works, when they moved away from the sort of nu metal roots, and showed off a lot more of theur musicianship. The percussion is insane, and Dan Donagan is a monster guitarist. Another Way to Die is such a great song, and the message is still poingant to this day.
I respect the list. My only complaint is that Sevendust was missing, they are easily in my top 3, alongside SOAD and Disturbed
Kittie is awesome bradley, need listen more them
Kittie slaps, I like em. Also they wer like 15-16 when they released their first album, Spit.
Was very much into Slipknot, KoRN, SOAD, Clawfinger, Coal Chamber and Static-X... with a bit of Disturbed on the side. Still listen to most of it on occasion.
ALso kinda funny that Disturbed shared that parody of them that is on RUclips somewhere on Facebook. Hilarious video that.
Morgan (the singer) was a high school senior/legal adult (18). Talena (the bassist) was 17. And Mercedes (the drummer and Morgan’s younger sister) and Fallon (guitar and backing vocals) were both 16
I watched every Bradley Hall video so you don't have to.
Im 34, Alien ant farm, Riverside Ca
System of a down, Hollywood Ca
Korn, Bakersfield Ca
100% wrong about Mudvayne, the entire LD50 albums rules, and early Godsmack had tons of hooks, cool riffs and good writing, man. Huge miss with those two.
Alien Ant Farm is pop-punk
Pop punk with nu metal elements
Im 15 and slipknot blessed my soul honestly
You forgot Incubus, Crazy Town, P.O.D., Trapt, Skindred and Powerman 5000!
Incubus is alternative rock, not nu metal.
@@Steve-gq5zypost grunge*
@@Steve-gq5zy The first albums clearly had nu metal influences. Hard and heavy riffs with a crushing guitar tone. This mixed with Funk influences.
@@Steve-gq5zygroovy, grungy, alternative rock with dj scratch??? Not nu metal?? Coldplay is full alt rock, incubus is alt rock category in nu metal genres, like limp bizkit hip hop or skindred reggae
Melancholy delivered with dynamic grooves whats not to love about that
Maybe Hed-Pe should be on there? Bartender was a banger 👊🏻
Waiting to die is also a banger, stereotypically edgy but still very good
Nu metal is so goated
Also Bradley I will not forgive you for shitting on coal chamber, godsmack, and kittie lmao
2:59 kitty actually slaps check out this town is our town with Jonathan Davis from KoRn….
But like everything here it’s an acquired taste.
It’s fake. It’s from human waste project. It got that name because of napster and limewire
Godsmack has "bulletproof" and "when legends rise" both good songs. The rest I agree with you on though
Remember the US Navy had that recruiting ad with their song 'Awake'. "Life - Liberty - And the Pursuit of all those who threaten them" was that catch phrase at the end of the video.
0:51 I LIVE AN HOUR FROM THERE AND SPOTIFY SAID JACK SHIT TO ME ABT IT WHEN ITNWAS ANNOUNCED
im sorry bradley but i will continue to listen to nu metal
In all honesty my top 3 songs id recommend from mudvayne are:
1. Death blooms
2. Happy?
3. Scream with me
Leaving aside the the s tier band member. Chads as a lyrist and vocalist is definitely shown in death bloom live 2001 rock am ring.
Under my skin. Heaviest song on ld50
I liked limp bizkit then, and now. I dont get why people shit all over them. Wes Borland is a BEAST, and Durst was a good frontman.
