Excellent Nu Metal video again. Surprised no Pantera and Sepultura were mentioned. I know Sepultura took influence from Korn to do the Roots album. But Chaos AD, also had a part to play in leading up to Nu Metal. And Pantera's groove is also an influence into the groove style riffs in Nu Metal.Can't wait to see some follow up Nu Metal Videos. Maybe even focusing on the newer bands coming out now incorporating Nu Metal influences.
Sepultura were out way before nu metal and don't need to be in the category regardless of a later album take influence from the genre. Pantera like sepultura were out before and kept to metal.
Biohazards urban discipline also was monumental to the influence of nu metal. No doubt for sure Mr Bungle was a huge catalyst for some of those earlier bands, even korn and slipknot mentioned them being some of the biggest influence
Deftones doing a cover of Helmet's "Sinatra" from Strap it On is enough proof that the album did influence one of the pillar bands of nu metal. The drop tuned stacatto riffs from Meantime were also a huge influence!
I don't know if you watched the documentary about Amphetamine Reptile records but it's funny seeing the other bands hating on Helmet because they looked jock-ish, were clean cut and never partied. They were jealous at how tight they were live. That's what I always liked about Helmet!
Great vid like always, but you can't be talking about rap and metal/rock fusion without mentioning Biohazard, especially their seminal 1992 record Urban Discipline. The way they brought everything together had never been done so seemlessly before. Also, the sountrack for Judgement Night from 1993 featuring all rock/hip hop collabs, most notably Just Another Victim with Helmet and House of Pain and Judgement Night with Onyx and Biohazard, definately deserves a mention.
Yes, they are absoulutely number one band he forgot to mention. Their song Institutionalized was played in 1982 and released in 1983 and I definitely see it as the first fusion of metal and rap. It influenced Limp Bizkit, who cited some lyrics in the song Stuck of their first album and Body Count, who made a full cover.
@@aotctd dude, Infectious Grooves were a funk-metal band... not too far when It comes to influences, wouldn't you say? It's not about labels, it's about the essence of a style
Fear Factory and Korn actually have a link between them, since Ross Robinson had worked with Fear Factory and used that tape (that was later released as Concrete) to find bands to work with. As far as I know, Korn really liked what they heard and thus, Robinson got the job to produce Korn's self-titled. Love the fact that this documentary finally gives props to Mr Bungle as well, since it's very clear that they had a huge impact on the nu-metal scene. The guys of Korn actually call the chord they use on "Blind" as the "Mr Bungle chord". (from the main riff of My Ass is On FIre)
What a great documentary! Born in 1986, I was 12 when mu parents bought me Follow the Leader on tape. Proud to say that besides Run DMC & Public Enemy, I have the 99% of the records you pointed out in my collection.
Nu Metal certainly is experiencing a resurgence but it's still gonna take a lot before it takes over Mainstream rock radio. what i wouldn't give to see the genre take over the radio and replace Imagine Dragons and other glorified electronic pop bands who are labelled as ''rock''.
Ross Robinson worked with Fear Factory before he worked with KoRn, so yes Fear Factory were way ahead of their times! Awesome band, I saw them live in the 90s and they were amazing. Dino impressed me with his guitar skills.
The Urban Dance Squad definitely deserve a mention - late 80s band from Holland who fused live distorted guitars, rapping & turntablism.... tracks like Fastlane with cameos from Flea/Rollins in the video....who also heavily influenced tom morello to start RATM. Judgement Night OST should be in this video as it influenced the NuMetal scene. I also think Living Colour need to get some credit for forging the way into NuMetal...... they were basically doing NuMetal before Korn, both albums Vivid & Times Up have elements of NuMetal - but Stain is when they really went to town..... but sadly never get credit for how groundbreaking they were/are.
So true, thank you for mentioning Living Colour as they had several songs that featured prominent rappers as well as Vernon playing on several Public Enemy tracks. Another group that deserves a mention is 24-7 Spyz along with UDS. This is what I was listening to in middle school.
I’ve been enjoying the nu-metal side of RUclips past couple weeks and I got into the memes, accidentally triggered one of my favorite RUclipsrs to have an existential crisis about their nu-metal content and they showed my comments in their video..which triggered more funny videos from other RUclipsrs about his existential crisis. Now you release this documentary and it’s great. So I just gotta say, this was the chefs kiss for my nu-metal themed entertainment recently. Keep up the good work
Fear Factory definitely is not talked about enough when it comes to nu-metal and being an influence on the genre and in metal music in general especially metalcore
They felt they were big inspiration to nu-metal and ended up making mediocre nu-metal from the quasi-death metal/industrial metal fusion they created. I don't thinkt hey were that big influence on nu-metal, but they're the godfathers of modern metalcore/djent and the prog metal scene similiar to that stuff.
After watching this I would love to see more genre's covered. I would love a Cypress Hill or a Wu-Tang Clan doc. Very good info and research done in this video thank you!
I feel like Helmet's Strap It On and Meantime definitely left a mark on NU Metal in the context of rhythms, grooves, and guitar work. In particular with the Deftones. It was music for musicians and it had its influence for sure.
KoRn is so amazing, I've been a Metalhead for 16 years and I love a lot of Technical Death Metal, Progressive Metal, Dsbm, and Metalcore and Nu-Metal, I say that KoRn is my favorite Nu-Metal band then Slipknot, Mudvayne, Static-X, Sevendust and Nonpoint which also are some of my favorite bands ever especially Static X, Nonpoint and Sevendust
Nu metal was perfect for its time. During the Y2K era, it had a dark angst ridden attitude that a lot of kids related to. Just like grunge in the early 90’s. Music connects with people on a personal level. I think metal and goth subcultures and the like are for people who don’t fit in and rebel against social conformity. The songs are about serious topics and social commentary. Not silly nursery rhyme pop songs for teenage girls.
I wonder, is there any possibility that the desert rock scene (Kyuss, Sleep, Clutch, etc) evolving in the same years in California contributed to bring a heavier, more distorted sound to the alternative rock/metal forming the basis of nu-metal?
Maybe a little... but Desert Rock bands (Kyuss, FuManchu, Goatsnake, Masters of Reality, Mondo Generator, Nebula, etc..) didn't have the "chugga, chugga" crunchy palm-muted tones that NuMetal bands shared with thrash/death metal before it. Clutch is from Maryland - originally mixing faster hardcore sounds with a West Virginia/Southern Rock/Blues style... leaning more groove/bluesy as they progressed. "Karma to Burn" is a great band from the same area to check out, if you like Clutch.
Thats pretty cool that primus seems to have had some early influence. Not to mention Larry Lelonde was a huge influence on death metal (maybe even possibly created).
Surprised that 311 didn't get a mention. Yeah they weren't nu-metal, but they were among the first and most successful bands that were strictly rap rock/metal, and they were among the first rock bands to feature a DJ as a band member.
I think Godflesh & Swans deserved to be at least mentioned here. Celtic Frost had a track called 'One in their Pride' that was obviously heavily influenced by Run Dmc. And Mick Harris, originally founding drummer of Napalm Death, has had a career of experimenting with Hip hop, dub, industrial, and more since leaving Napalm, best example Scorn.
Scorn is the best. He always kept it really dub-focused but he always evolved and stayed relevant. He's one of those underrated producers like Lorn or even Prefuse 73. man, Scorn, remember those heavy tracks he did when dubstep started becoming big?
This narrative is the one that seems to keep being spun on this platform. If you checked out interviews from non-big 4 nu metal bands, they mention how hardcore and hardcore culture wad a huge part of creating nu metal. ie Pod Stuck mojo Primer 55
it is very true with Fear Factory, NIN, Ministry and many other early industrial. Helmet comes from the NY post hardcore scene but their music did heavily influence new metal. A lot of NY hardcore has greatly influenced many of the early nu metal bands.
I’m absolutely loving these videos. As a kid I would watch vh1 classic and this reminds me so much of that but better! Really like the parts when you show what else was going on in what ever year the song/video was releasing to create a general idea of the times. Keep up the great work!
Great video as usual but I was surprised you didn't mention the Judgement Night soundtrack. Maybe we can look forward to a video on popular movie soundtracks in the future?
As a musician I can tell you hands down there are straight up guitar riffs from everything that you've mentioned but especially from the Deftones and Korn and a lot of that they got from Faith No More when I was hanging out with Igor from Sepultura and it influenced a lot of roots along with cavalera conspiracy and Soulfly and you can truly hear that style in slipknot's first two albums and this is a conversation that I had with Igor and John Martin who is the the guitar tech from Slipknot and Stone Sour and being a former New Yorker We Can't Stop without mentioning all the New York hardcore bands that were way into the scene and help pave that way
I grew up on nu metal one thing that always struck me if you listen to the Beatles I Am The Walrus it has the elements of rap rock, ringo plays a hip hop style beat while John almost spits the lyrics at you sorta beastie boys esque. Also I would like to put forth the hypothesis that the Beatles also invented techo with the track Tomorrow Never Knows. Any way just my hot take, not looking for any back lash
Great video! I think Nu metal comes from Mike Patton's bands. Everyone mentions him as a heavy influence. Angel Dust is probably the most influential album of the last 30+ years. It changed metal in so many ways
Really good video, Bodycount is a band definitely worth mentioning, Ice T is in the movie Judgement Night somebody had a great idea for the sound track in 1993 which is worth also mentioning a lot of bands collaborate to make what sounds like a Numetal album released with the movie summer 1993
Anthrax and Public Emenys', Bring the Noise, was my first intro to rap metal colab, mainly because Aroesmith was considered pop music. Was definitely a fan of both, before that moment though.
Very nice vid. thnx for creating/sharing, but I have to admit I crossed my fingers in the hope of another CLaWFiNger mentioning by you. Btw. After years of lumber wondering- and asking around on FB forums.. I finally ended up last year in a Messanger chat with the leader of SexArt.. J.Davis' earlier band right before KoRn .. I asked him, (as the 'Blind' song AFAIK started as a SexArt track) if it (if KoRn) was in any way inspired by CLaWFiNger - their 'Warfair' song from 1993 on their debut Album, 'Deaf Dumb BLIND' .. The reply I got was yes, but more on Ball tounge.. and Helmet ('In The Meanwhile') was an important influence. Anthrax had CLaWFiNger as their warm-up band for a strech. ~ Anyway! Love to Primus #) -- Mushroom love from Norway, and I think it's fun that Marilyn Manson's GAOG album is one of the coolest Nu Metal albums created, IMHO.. CLaWFiNger rocks!
People do overlook what a big influence the “hip hop” side was, and also how embraced it was by hip hop side too, but most of the popular “riffs” from lot of korn n limp stuff n all back then, where all like sounds done by muggs or lethal even Dre first with samples, n they emulated it with guitars n bass
Faltó mencionar la movida Groove Metal, y faltó mencionar a Clawfinger, una de las bandas que tenía también el arquetipo de Nu Metal antes que el género existiera como tal
Reminiscence is the essence! Nicely done :) ...Body Count (org. CD- i purchased but never opened it) which was banned due to two intro tunes, only to be re-released later on minus 'intro' & 'Smoked Pork' (i bought immediately on re-release). *Note: I still have the org. CD manufacturedly sealed in cellophane plastic equipped w/ a $17.99 fluroescent tennis-ball green price sticker tag! ...but no longer have the re-released disc album due to parting ways after .flac conversion.
I did actually consider mentioning Killing Joke, I love that band. I've never read about any Nu Metal musician mention them though and I don't think they ever really took off in America so not sure they really had much of an impact on the genre.
cool vid , most of us didn't know the term nu metal back then lol .. i knew Korn wasn't the first rap metal , but seemed like the first band to use bass and weird guitar noise to add an organic rap feel on occasion , it was a fresh approach !!! sometimes Machine Head or early 2000's radio rock is considered 'Nu Metal" lol... early 90's had a bunch of bands doing the rap metal thing but in different ways (Biohazard , Dog Eat Dog , Skrew, Anthrax ect ) if we are talking purely rap metal as nu metal .. i guess (Korn , Deftones and Limp Bizkit ) would be the big 3 or first 3 Mainstream / Huge nu metal bands ... for a small time those 3 bands were crossing over featuring on songs with each other !! once they caught on it became a genre .. i would say early funk metal (Mr Bungle , Cyco Grooves, Faith no More) may have influenced Nu Metal bands , just as much, as rap .. then nu metal became a term for any metal crossover in the late 90's to early 2000's lololol ..Great video man..great call on Primus too !!! right on !!!
Fear Factory are phenomenal, discovered them with Soul of a New Machine. Saw them x3 when they were supporting Demanufacture. Faith No More was my gateway to metal. That was such a great time in music! Edit: Mr Bungle!!! I love their ST album, I had an OG copy with Travolta, before they had to rename it Quote/Unquote.
i always think of suicidal tendencies but people hardly talk about them. limp bizkit even cites the iconic pepsi thing from institutionalized on "stuck" (1997, from their debut record)
Great video the thing that i dont think a lot of people know is slayer being involved in hip hop pretty much since the biggening its really interesting considering slayer will always be considered the ultimate none sell out thrash band 2 albums i love a lot of people hate are diabolica and undisputed attitude undisputed attitude is like one of my favorite punk albums ever i still remember so many punks getting mad about it lol the thing is slayer was involved in all kinds of music people really dont know that
Death Metal in general, and groove metal also definitely influenced Nu Metal. Before Korn, some metal bands detuned a bit, but only Death Metal band like Carcass, Bolt Thrower, Morbid Angel and a bunch of Swedish bands really tuned anywhere near as low as Korn.
Literally just at the right time, I was just thinking to myself, “I wonder what music documentary I should listen to while at work”
Haha yep same👍🤘
😂doing the same and it’s like 7am
We wonder what would have been the right time figuratively.
Excellent Nu Metal video again. Surprised no Pantera and Sepultura were mentioned. I know Sepultura took influence from Korn to do the Roots album. But Chaos AD, also had a part to play in leading up to Nu Metal. And Pantera's groove is also an influence into the groove style riffs in Nu Metal.Can't wait to see some follow up Nu Metal Videos.

@@chrismunoz7859he wasnt saying pantera was nu metal. Hes saying nu metal was influenced by pantera. You’re not too bright are you?
Sepultura was mentioned in the first two minutes.
Korn took influence from Sepulturas roots album but sepulturas older albums are far from groove or nu metal
Sepultura were death/thrash that started in 1984. Chaos A.D. was when their sound started to change...the 4 albums prior were very fast and heavy...
Bro, I can't believe you didn't mention the judgment night soundtrack 😮
Nice
Still a great sounddtrack.
Onyx song on that album makes me wish they were mentioned, in terms of cross over success with Slam.
@@jasonwhite4167 Nice.
and it was right after that soundtrack dropped, all these nu-metal bands started popping up everywhere.
Biohazards urban discipline also was monumental to the influence of nu metal. No doubt for sure Mr Bungle was a huge catalyst for some of those earlier bands, even korn and slipknot mentioned them being some of the biggest influence
Munky talked about Mr. Bungle before in an interview, and said "Love Is A Fist" is one of his fave songs there!
The "guy" wearing the Slayer shirt in the video was Rick Rubin
Yeah I was wondering if he said that sarcastically or he didnt catch that it was rick rubin
who's that? 🤣
@@salvadordollyparton666 did you just ask who rick rubin is?
@@salvadordollyparton666 he did early slayer, def jam hip hop and basically every millenial Alternative Metal stuff
@@campar1043who?

definitely. i don't know why he said they weren't influential at all
I don't know if you watched the documentary about Amphetamine Reptile records but it's funny seeing the other bands hating on Helmet because they looked jock-ish, were clean cut and never partied. They were jealous at how tight they were live. That's what I always liked about Helmet!

Was wondering how Biohazard were missed. Sadly I sold the Judgement Night soundtrack years ago, Just Another Victim was the standout to me.
The first Korn song I heard was "Shoots and Ladders", which I thought was brilliant!
Suicidal tendencies had a lot of influence on the nu metal and also the hardcore punk scene
Yes, they are absoulutely number one band he forgot to mention. Their song Institutionalized was played in 1982 and released in 1983 and I definitely see it as the first fusion of metal and rap. It influenced Limp Bizkit, who cited some lyrics in the song Stuck of their first album and Body Count, who made a full cover.
Mike Muir was rapping in Institutionalized, Join the Army, Trip At the Brain et Go N Breaking long before it became trendy
No one from suicidal tendencies etc scene is or was interested in Nu Metal
*L M F A O*
@@aotctd no one said Suicidal were nu metal, just they were rapping long before it became a trent. Read carefully
@@aotctd dude, Infectious Grooves were a funk-metal band... not too far when It comes to influences, wouldn't you say? It's not about labels, it's about the essence of a style

The Tritonus, interval of the devil, forbidden in the middle ages, famously used by Black Sabbath.
The main riff of "Blind" is almost identical to Fear Factory's "Scapegoat"
What a great documentary! Born in 1986, I was 12 when mu parents bought me Follow the Leader on tape. Proud to say that besides Run DMC & Public Enemy, I have the 99% of the records you pointed out in my collection.
Amazin'!!!
Seems that nu metal is making a comeback the second or third time around.
Nu Metal has been making it's biggest comeback since the 2000's!
Nu Metal certainly is experiencing a resurgence but it's still gonna take a lot before it takes over Mainstream rock radio.
what i wouldn't give to see the genre take over the radio and replace Imagine Dragons and other glorified electronic pop bands who are labelled as ''rock''.
Ross Robinson worked with Fear Factory before he worked with KoRn, so yes Fear Factory were way ahead of their times! Awesome band, I saw them live in the 90s and they were amazing. Dino impressed me with his guitar skills.
The Urban Dance Squad definitely deserve a mention - late 80s band from Holland who fused live distorted guitars, rapping & turntablism.... tracks like Fastlane with cameos from Flea/Rollins in the video....who also heavily influenced tom morello to start RATM.
Judgement Night OST should be in this video as it influenced the NuMetal scene.
I also think Living Colour need to get some credit for forging the way into NuMetal...... they were basically doing NuMetal before Korn, both albums Vivid & Times Up have elements of NuMetal - but Stain is when they really went to town..... but sadly never get credit for how groundbreaking they were/are.
I heard UDS on the radio about a year ago (in Belgium). I was flabbergasted lol
Urban Dance Squad and Senser
When mentioning Senser then don’t forget Clawfinger.
So true, thank you for mentioning Living Colour as they had several songs that featured prominent rappers as well as Vernon playing on several Public Enemy tracks. Another group that deserves a mention is 24-7 Spyz along with UDS. This is what I was listening to in middle school.
Helmet was so influential. Are you kidding me? Great video though!
I remember Buzz Osborne from Melvins once actually said that all nu metal bands sounded to him like Helmet.
Love Body Count thank you for shouting them out!!
With references to the fusion of Rap and Metal I have to mention the "Judgment Night" OST which was an absolute gamechanger back in the 90s👌
Judge-Ment-NIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!
I know you heard that in your head.
@@chrisschindler7634 yes!!!"Another Body Murdered" with my comment😉😅
Underrated nu metal pioneer Urban Dance Squad formed in 1986..
Shootyz groove were doing it( rap/metal fusion) all the way back in the late 80’s.
Korn's guitarist Head Welch actually mentioned on a guitar exchange that Mr. Bungle was indeed a huge influence for their band.
I’ve been enjoying the nu-metal side of RUclips past couple weeks and I got into the memes, accidentally triggered one of my favorite RUclipsrs to have an existential crisis about their nu-metal content and they showed my comments in their video..which triggered more funny videos from other RUclipsrs about his existential crisis.
Now you release this documentary and it’s great.
So I just gotta say, this was the chefs kiss for my nu-metal themed entertainment recently.
Keep up the good work
I f**kin love ur vids bro 🤟🏿
So it was your comment Finn posted on those videos. Nice. You nearly broke poor Finn😅
Check out Vai - Pigs. It is the blue print for Korn.
Fear Factory definitely is not talked about enough when it comes to nu-metal and being an influence on the genre and in metal music in general especially metalcore

I don't thinkt hey were that big influence on nu-metal, but they're the godfathers of modern metalcore/djent and the prog metal scene similiar to that stuff.
When speaking of industrial metal, Shotgun Messiah’s ‘Violent New Breed’ record is frequently and criminally overlooked.
People be sleeping on Body Count still to this day.
Black Hoodie slams as hard as anything then or now.
Last album is LIT!! Punching hard
Love old bodycount
Sadly
Body Count is NOT rap metal or nu metal.
it's crazy, the connection between Primus and Korn. I wonder if Korn were also influenced by The Residents.
Without Faith No More, Mike Patton in general really, we wouldn't have nu metal or a few of these bands.
This channel is amazing, great guy, great delivery on quality information
Public enemy with slayer, song called channel zero, cool song
Public Enemy with Anthrax was really great too
After watching this I would love to see more genre's covered. I would love a Cypress Hill or a Wu-Tang Clan doc. Very good info and research done in this video thank you!

The “guy wearing the slayer shirt” is actually Rick Rubin himself, isn’t it ?
I think it is yes! I actually had no idea until someone else mentioned it. I'm used to Rick looking old with a huge white beard haha

Pretty cool that you can hear them in the intro!
I grew up on nu metal one thing that always struck me if you listen to the Beatles I Am The Walrus it has the elements of rap rock, ringo plays a hip hop style beat while John almost spits the lyrics at you sorta beastie boys esque.
Also I would like to put forth the hypothesis that the Beatles also invented techo with the track Tomorrow Never Knows.
Any way just my hot take, not looking for any back lash
Great video, many thanks.
Took me far longer than 30:46 to get through this as I kept going off and watching videos of the songs mentioned.
Same here. Especially when I hear the snippet of one of those songs I remember but completely forgot about and had to add to my library.
😅😅😅
Godflesh influenced a lot of the nu metal sounds .
Especially on songs of love and hate. Pretty insane
@@ravereikoThat came out when Nu metal was already a thing. Streetcleaner and Pure both have plenty of hip hop beats if you listen carefully.
Absolutely
The video is very cool. It's basically my youth from 1989 onwards. I soaked up this music like a sponge and saw many of the bands live. Love it.
Great video! I think Nu metal comes from Mike Patton's bands. Everyone mentions him as a heavy influence. Angel Dust is probably the most influential album of the last 30+ years. It changed metal in so many ways
nu metal started with Bad Brains "Quickness" album, Faith No More, Mindfunk, Pantera "Cowboys from Hell" and Body Count.
Really good video, Bodycount is a band definitely worth mentioning, Ice T is in the movie Judgement Night somebody had a great idea for the sound track in 1993 which is worth also mentioning a lot of bands collaborate to make what sounds like a Numetal album released with the movie summer 1993

Damn solid and entertaining documentary. Much appreciated, cheers
The effort you would of had to have gone too to make this video is unimaginable some crazy good bands there love your work
The link between Run DMC and Beastie Boys was Rick Rubin. He brought the rock to rap.
What is that song in between Toxicity and Wait and Bleed?

Love to Primus #) -- Mushroom love from Norway, and I think it's fun that Marilyn Manson's GAOG album is one of the coolest Nu Metal albums created, IMHO.. CLaWFiNger rocks!
Coming From Someone Who’s Starting To Make Nu Metal This Was A Amazing Video
People do overlook what a big influence the “hip hop” side was, and also how embraced it was by hip hop side too, but most of the popular “riffs” from lot of korn n limp stuff n all back then, where all like sounds done by muggs or lethal even Dre first with samples, n they emulated it with guitars n bass
Just think, Helmet was basically Jazz musicians in Alternate Tunings, distortion and aggressive beatnik vocals
Faltó mencionar la movida Groove Metal, y faltó mencionar a Clawfinger, una de las bandas que tenía también el arquetipo de Nu Metal antes que el género existiera como tal
Wolverine blues is a very influential album for nu metal
You were spot on with Primus and Korn. Thought it was just my
excellent video
i would like to add 2 more artists who both fused the 2 genres back in the day b4 korn
tone loc and mordred
Which song is at 1:14?
Linkin Park-One Step Closer
I’m from the same neighborhood as Geto Boyz! Rip Bushwick Bill!
The channel is excellent, I like the neutral attitude of telling the story and explaining ...greetings from Croatia, Europe 🤘🏝️🏖️
13:46 and then there primus
Reminiscence is the essence! Nicely done :)
...Body Count (org. CD- i purchased but never opened it) which was banned due to two intro tunes, only to be re-released later on minus 'intro' & 'Smoked Pork' (i bought immediately on re-release).
*Note: I still have the org. CD manufacturedly sealed in cellophane plastic equipped w/ a $17.99 fluroescent tennis-ball green price sticker tag!
...but no longer have the re-released disc album due to parting ways after .flac conversion.
Any you guys remember Biohazard wrong side of the tracks. Good job
Personally, I think one of the first nu metal albums was Rise ; Quickness and I Against I by Bad Brains
Collapsing Lungs from Florida never got their due back in the early 90s.
You never mentioned Killing Jokes early 90s albums..
I did actually consider mentioning Killing Joke, I love that band. I've never read about any Nu Metal musician mention them though and I don't think they ever really took off in America so not sure they really had much of an impact on the genre.
@@RAWMUSICTV Relisten to KJsong slipteam and you'll hear what I am talking about too. Great album
This was a great video! -------SHOW MUSICS ROOTS!
Prong also to some point and maybe Life Of Agony.
…and Biohazard’s- Urban Discipline
Was Anthrax and Public Enemy mentioned anywhere?
Thankfully, yes.
-5:42 what about Looks To Kill and Too Young To Fall In Love from Motley Crue?
-12:28: lol
cool vid , most of us didn't know the term nu metal back then lol .. i knew Korn wasn't the first rap metal , but seemed like the first band to use bass and weird guitar noise to add an organic rap feel on occasion , it was a fresh approach !!! sometimes Machine Head or early 2000's radio rock is considered 'Nu Metal" lol... early 90's had a bunch of bands doing the rap metal thing but in different ways (Biohazard , Dog Eat Dog , Skrew, Anthrax ect ) if we are talking purely rap metal as nu metal .. i guess (Korn , Deftones and Limp Bizkit ) would be the big 3 or first 3 Mainstream / Huge nu metal bands ... for a small time those 3 bands were crossing over featuring on songs with each other !! once they caught on it became a genre .. i would say early funk metal (Mr Bungle , Cyco Grooves, Faith no More) may have influenced Nu Metal bands , just as much, as rap .. then nu metal became a term for any metal crossover in the late 90's to early 2000's lololol ..Great video man..great call on Primus too !!! right on !!!
Funk, Rap, Alternative, Industrial = NU
You forgot groove
@@mattdeinken6580 to me groove and funk are basically the same
How could ya miss the Judgement Night soundtrack?? That's the greatest fusion ever!!!!
I think ice t including a bodycount track as a preview on the original gangster album probably contributed to sales
Great video, cheers
Great video dude!!
Its nice to hear Mix a lot and Metal church get some love. Dont for get the Judgement Night soundtrack though.
Fear Factory are phenomenal, discovered them with Soul of a New Machine. Saw them x3 when they were supporting Demanufacture. Faith No More was my gateway to metal. That was such a great time in music!
Edit: Mr Bungle!!! I love their ST album, I had an OG copy with Travolta, before they had to rename it Quote/Unquote.
Where my fellow nu metal haters at???
Good video,really informative video that goes beyond the usually named progenitors.
I feel like Coal Chamber also had a big play in it
great video bro. can u do Kyuss next plz!!!
Stuck mojo from Atlanta , Georgia
i always think of suicidal tendencies but people hardly talk about them. limp bizkit even cites the iconic pepsi thing from institutionalized on "stuck" (1997, from their debut record)
I remember seeing the bring the noise tour in New York City. It was dope.
Great video the thing that i dont think a lot of people know is slayer being involved in hip hop pretty much since the biggening its really interesting considering slayer will always be considered the ultimate none sell out thrash band 2 albums i love a lot of people hate are diabolica and undisputed attitude undisputed attitude is like one of my favorite punk albums ever i still remember so many punks getting mad about it lol the thing is slayer was involved in all kinds of music people really dont know that
Death Metal in general, and groove metal also definitely influenced Nu Metal. Before Korn, some metal bands detuned a bit, but only Death Metal band like Carcass, Bolt Thrower, Morbid Angel and a bunch of Swedish bands really tuned anywhere near as low as Korn.
Korn always cites Morbid Angel as being a huge influence on self titled
Excellent videos, awesome facts 💯💯👏👏💯👏👏
