      @@OrphanCrippler69bb Yeah. But then he matured, and he's actually reuploaded a lot of that stuff, but I think it's on a different channel. I also think he apologized, but I don't remember where. But his fans were being kinda toxic about certain stuff. It is redundant and super obnoxious to wake up every day and your comments is nothing but cover requests, and especially if it's the same few songs. Which is what it was like for him. No one listened to his original stuff. Now his original stuff is doing way better, and the new iteration and new songs are better than the old ones.

I like Linkin Park,From Ashes to New,Slipknot,and Dangerkids if they count. I like the Train of Thought and Themata albums from Dream Theater and Karnivool. Aside from that,I really don’t like any other nu metal bands or albums. Korn,System of a Down,Disturbed,Deftones,Godsmack, Sevendust,etc have never interested me. I’m hoping more great nu metal bands come in the future,but for now I’ll have to stick with the 4 bands I listen to at the moment.

      Check out Max's other band, Next To None (but not the song Apple). They are like baby Dream Theater. He was thirteen years old doing all kinds of crazy, proggy stuff, complicated time signatures, poly-rhythms, twenty minute songs, etc. He switched to nu metal because he wanted to try something different. Can you blame him? His dad has some mighty big shoes to fill, and Max eventually reached an age where he decided he wanted to be his own man and try a different genre.
