I don't like linkin park much due to their lead singer singing in such a high tone. It makes me want to find out where he lives and shove a voice box down his throat. But the second singer guy,sounds like a raper, I don't mind him much.

I'm falling apart inside; watching you mourn over my death.
Nu-Metal isn't Metal, Metal was just thrown in that name because posers want to look cool. It has no real component to classify it as "Metal". Using DJ stands and equipment, utilizing rapping in songs (i.e Slipknot *shudders*) playing downtuned guitars, and having horrid end results does not qualify them in any way shape or form to be counted in such a genre.

Nu Metal has System of a Down. And thinking that System of a Down is horrible is just plain stupid.
No, it isn't. Thinking System of a Down are horrible is just like thinking Trivium are horrible, it's just true. A vocalist who sounds like an angry hippy, a generic drummer, absolutely no importance to their bass, and bland, disturbing, talentless guitar playing to add to the horror.

I don't really care how closed minded you will be towards System of a Down, Linkin Park and Nu Metal in general, but thinking they're horrible and talentless is a point of view worth laughing at.
I only like ONE song from system of a down and thats Aerials.
It's not about whether or not System of a Down is likeable to the individual person, with every band there will be people who dislike them and people who like them, its whether or not they're a horrible band. Which they are not.

Close minded? I listen to everything, even everything I don't like, just to see what the huge fuss is about, and so I don't mindlessly trash it for the sake of it. If you can definitively prove to me that Nu Metal has a shred of talent or worthiness, and how they aren't just some mindless garbage thrown together to impress Hot Topic posers and trend followers, who get one album or go to one concert then pretend to be some major fan of some band, then I will bow down to you. It's garbage, as simple as that. Takes no talent to make. Look at Megadeth, excellent riffs (i.e Take no Prisoners), excellent lyrical themes and vocals pertaining intelligent and important subject. Great bass, just astounding drumming (Menza, hello....) and even more amazing solos. Look at Slipknot. How many members do they have? Like...9? Masks? DJ stand? Rapping? Calling their fans maggots? That must have imbeen a typo where the m was put in place of the f. They keep shouting cuss words and acting all angry when it fools noone of any significant importance. Linkin Park and System of a Down? Downtuned guitars of absolute ZERO importance? Barely heard bass IF ANY? Generic and absolutely ridiculous drumming? Shouting like your balls just dropped off, about subject that are absolutely ridiculous and of no importance?
Come one, prove to me what you're saying, please.

How do they not have talent? I believe that there are some talentless Nu Metal bands, but there are also some talented ones. Categorizing an entire genre as talentless is just plain stupid. Now some of them are talented (Linkin Park, System of a Down) because they're able to create fairly original and entertaining music as a band. As for individual members talent, the guitarist you seem to hate, the System of a Down one, is far from a talentless guitarist. He has a fair amount of fast and original riffs, which he can actually play. Linkin Park debatably has Chester for talent, as he can sing his part quite well live on a regular basis, which more than your megadeth's singer can do, he can barely sing in the studio. As well, both Linkin Park and System of a Down put on really great live shows. Now of course, most of the above is based on opinion, so you will most likely be ignoring mine and claiming exactly the opposite of what I said.
Look at Megadeth, excellent riffs (i.e Take no Prisoners), excellent lyrical themes and vocals pertaining intelligent and important subject. Great bass, just astounding drumming (Menza, hello....) and even more amazing solos.
Right, bring in a thrash metal band when debating talent. I'll just say that Megadeth lacks creativity. Look at their name as an example.
Look at Slipknot. How many members do they have? Like...9? Masks? DJ stand? Rapping? Calling their fans maggots? That must have imbeen a typo where the m was put in place of the f. They keep shouting cuss words and acting all angry when it fools noone of any significant importance.
Barely heard bass IF ANY? Generic and absolutely ridiculous drumming?
The bass I can't comment on as I rarely listen to bassists anyway, besides Geddy Lee and Flea. As for the drumming, I'm unsure of how drumming can be generic and ridiculous at the same time.

I was unaware that Megadeth sang about things that mattered.
Something that sounds good, then gets old after 4 or 5 listens, isn't called "good music". Something which appeals to posers, isn't good music, drop that useless argument. You want a good guitarist? Go listen to Skolnick, Suicmez, or Mustaine. Wait wait, you're actually dissing Dave Mustaine, on of the single most important persons in Metal HISTORY, and saying some idiot from Linkin Park is better? Just for that, I'm gonna say fuck to the remainder of your entire bullshit reply, because that tells me how much of a retard you are, and I do not address retards. Have a good day at Hot Topic. I did read the remainder though, all I have to say is LOL, later.

My favourite album is definitely Meteora, with Hybrid Theory coming in close.
Minutes to Midnight was alright, but the only really good songs in my opinion were What I've Done and Shadow of the Day.
My favourite song would definitely Breaking the Habit, followed closely by Papercut.

Ha, Linkin park isnt bad and I know it doesnt fit my quote but they still have good music, or al least they used to.
That is so weird....
That is my favorite song out of any band... ever.... and I used that song as an example for the quote in my sig.
