This ☝️( I was gonna be an a****** and talk about the entire history of Faith No More and how they're actually the creators of nu metal on a troll rant, but yeah...Korn)
Love Faith No More. They are definitely a precursor and influence to NuMetal. I was really looking forward to that FNM/Korn/Helmet tour a couple years ago that was cancelled due to Patton not wanting to tour yet after Covid. Hopefully they make that happen someday now that Mr Bungle has wrapped up touring for the most part.
Very true. Always thought the same.
I got to see em once, unfortunately it was opening on the Metallica/GnR tour. We saw it in NOLA at the SuperDome on the very first show after they resumed the tour after James got burned.
FNM sounded horrible and really shit the bed on the entire set sound wise AND performance wise.
MET tried hard but it wasn’t the same without James on guitar and their whole set was a bit stale, for lack of a better word.
After MET left the stage there was a nice little intermission of only 3.5 hours as we awaited AXL Pose and GnR. Stuck around for maybe 4-5 songs, maybe less, and then bolted. They were, imo, the worst act of the nite.
When I was born, my dad would BLAST bands like Korn and slipknot to try and mold my music taste into his so him and I could bond over having simalir music tastes.
He would play bands like Korn, Linkin Park, Slipknot, back when Marilyn Manson wasn't going to court and ALOT of Deftones. (Deftones is now my favorite band !)
My main introduction though was actually See you on the other side by Korn. That album is what made me listen to alot more Nu Metal.
From Zero, a really dope underground nu metal band, that debut album is one of the best I've ever heard. If you guys haven't listened to it, then do, cause it's that good.
Hubby and I were both raised by single parents (his mom and my dad) in different states, but we were both raised on (what is now) classic rock. We both have said that the first song we remember getting us into "newer" rock (and nu metal) was Smashing Pumpkins Bullet With Butterfly Wings. Do they count as nu metal though? I've never seen someone mention them in these threads, but I feel like they do with certain songs, like this one.
Aww poo. It is what got us both into heavier music, so I really don't know what the first song after that would be. I *want* to say probably MM The Beautiful People or Korn Blind. Those seem to be sticking in my memory as songs I've known the longest for nu metal.
Korn - First album - We were blasting heavy shit in the hockey dressing room before games in 1994-95, Pantera, Metallica, Offspring etc. But someone brought Korn in one game and it blew me away.
Evanescence, AMVs, and the local FM alternative station (that got bought and turned into like the 8th modern country station in the region. I don't even mind country but it feels like it's every other station now)
Mainly listening to the radio back in 1999-2000. I remember loving it as a kid. Limp Bizkit and Korn were the first bands I really got into. Then came Linkin Park, Static X, and everything else. Nu metal was everywhere back then.
In 1995-1996, I did not care for the sound that Korn and Deftones were doing. I was really into Offspring, Bush, and Green Day. But there were a couple songs I liked, like ADIDAS and Shoots n Ladders. But then, I heard Got The Life. And Faith was popular by then. (Really didnt care for 3 Dollar Bill though).
Follow the Leader set it off for me. Then Godsmack, Then the Burning Red album (from Machine Head) then Mudvayne.
Limp bizkit. My big brother had chocolate starfish on cd when it came out. Take a look an around was my favorite song off the album. My 5/6 year old self was tripped out by the album cover
It was 1994, I was 15.
A mate came over after school with this cassette tape and said have a listen to this. It’s like nothing you’ve ever heard before. So I put in my cassette player and blind started, I remember the “are you ready” lyric like it was yesterday, then it hits and I was like holy fk man! This is awesome! I went and borrowed money off grandma ( I was pretty much brought up by her) and went to the music store which was Chandlers back then well one of the music stores here in Australia. On my redline push bike, I couldn’t ride fast enough lol. Anyways been a fan of korn since then, the start really. I’m 45 and still listen to nu-metal.
A friend got me into korn back just before follow the leader came out. The build up to that album dropping was wild. I’ve never seen another band roll down nyc in a fucking tank to album signing before while a sea of people were trying to get to them.
Crazy Town. But with non nu metal song lol. I even didn’t like the song, but they looked like… I’ve thought “damn, these guys are cool, I got to hear more songs from them” and bought the tape. The piracy was in its active phase that days, so it was not just a Gift of the Game album, it has a bunch of remixes on Butterfly and Revolving Door in it. Nice time. I was too damn young and couple weeks after I saw limp bizkit, there was no way back since
My best friend and I watched the Street Fighter animated movie and when Blind came on at the [end credits](https://youtu.be/40amobhI3mY?feature=shared), we were hooked.
The bands I was listening to before had pretty much broken up or started switching out too many members.
It was something that wasn’t grunge at the time.
Probably Slipknot and Korn. I heard Korn on MTV I assume and my friends older brother listened to Slipknot and played it for us, but at the time I was still young and into Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys, lol. It wasn’t until Hybrid Theory came out that my tastes changed literally overnight and I got into all Nu Metal bands.
This gothic dude called B.J I met I was like 12 yrs old it was like 1999 well in his room was just a mattress on the floor a black light 💡 and a boom box with a 4 disc cd player and we just listened to Korn all night! Freak on a leash
Korn on my own, I remember when the video for Blind debuted on Mtv. I didn't start to really get into them until 'Some Place to Hide' hit Mtv. It made me go back and listen to EVERYTHING. Then I was hooked. My older brother used to make me mix tapes of rare and cool stuff. We actually heard Limp Bizkit before they got signed.
KoRn - Life is Peachy
When I was a kid I would get to go visit my dad for a weekend maybe once a year. He had the Life is Peachy album. And I was HOOKED. the next year I came back he had Follow the Leader. And it was all over for me from there. I’m now a life long KoRn fan. I just wish I had caught on like 2 years sooner so I coulda claimed I’ve been a fan since the first album. But nope. I gotta take claim to their second album. lol.
I asked my friend what she was listening to, and she said KoЯn. I started listening to them later that day, starting with their first album. Daddy hit so hard and still does
i was about 10ish and had watched the bride of chucky so much living dead girl by rob zombie was stuck in my head and i started listening to it on my computer
I remember first hearing Orgy and Korn on TRL on MTV, and I knew I liked it, but my friends didn’t and I wasn’t self assured enough to ask my parents to buy it for me. Then when Hybrid Theory came out, I went all in.
New Divide by Linkin Park. But i didnt get too much into it or want to listen to more until i discovered Loose by Primer 55 (despite me really loving Limp Bizkit)
Perhaps a bit late to curve by 2003, but for me, my introduction to Nu metal was Need for speed underground 1 and 2.
Both games had fucking incredible soundtracks even including some quite obscure bands.
Specifically my love of Static X and Mudvayne is because of these games.
Most wanted had a decent soundtrack, too. NFS was on it back then.
After hearing a few songs on the radio I decided to buy the Family Values 98 album and it opened the door to not just nu-metal, but other various forms of metal. Interesting how one album changed the course of my music evolution.
I was a big fan of SOAD and Slipknot and then saw the "Nu metal" tag on Google after searching about them, decided to listen more related songs and i fell in love
Hybrid Theory but tried Gaga Life single by Mad Capsule Markets prior to Hybrid Theory! I think Gaga Life featured their ex-guitarist from the 90s
https://youtu.be/Yil4iD8MbMo?si=9caEU3qxEeEdPLU3
🤔 I'm not sure. The origins of my beginnings in metal are murky, been hit in the head one too mant times. But I do remember Spineshank, Mudvayne, Linkin Park, Drowning Pool, and American Head Charge around freshmen year.
When i was like 8 I saw Re Arranged and Boiler music vids on TV, around 13 my friend had In The End as his phonecall sound, when I was 16 i was working at a store and my co worker would play Saliva's click click boom at 9 am, When I was 19 we was going to shows and one time they made a cover of Stalemste by LB and thats when i finally got hooked
I already knew Linkin Park but it hadn't appealed to me. I think SOAD self titled was the first time I actually was interested in nu metal, but I just really got into it with Slipknot self titled
I remember the exact song an the moment everything changed..
The ice cube cover,Wicked by korn an chino
Before that I was a die hard hip hop fan, hip hop in the early 90s was amazing, but then by about 96/97 I was over it, then I discovered korn an fell in love with it, freeking loved nu metal ever since
That one video with Kleiner and Eli. Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory then later became the first nu metal album I owned in my cd collection which I started last year.
Limp Bizkit/Orgy/Methods of Mayhem. Nu Metal started when I started playing music, around 1998 or so. I’d say Rage but I don’t think they are Nu Metal.
Korn's Follow the Leader was the first nu-metal album I really got into. I remember when I first watched the 'Freak On a Leash' video, I begged my mom to take me to buy the album (I was in 7th grade, just to clear that up). A friend brought Slipknot's self-titled album not long after that and that's definitely what ended up getting me really into everything nu-metal.
I remember White Zombie playing on MTV when I was little, but I will still credit Limp Bizkit’s “Faith” as the moment. That was the first time I ever heard anyone growl and ever heard that style of hard rock or metal or whatever you wanna consider it.
Slipknot or Linkin park. Don't remember who I started listening to first
System of a Down, specifically Chop Suey and Toxicity. I’m surprised no one else has mentioned them
Korn - Life is Peachy album
Same.

They’re not nu metal, but they’re my favourite band, so good on ya! Billy Corgan did have good things to say about nu metal as a genre though.
Aww poo. It is what got us both into heavier music, so I really don't know what the first song after that would be. I *want* to say probably MM The Beautiful People or Korn Blind. Those seem to be sticking in my memory as songs I've known the longest for nu metal.

KoЯn in the mid/late 90s. About Life is Peachy time.
Korn 🤘🏽
Issues, by KoRn back when it was new and one kid in Elementary School had it.
KoRn, to be fair it was because Beavis & Butt-Head reacted to Blind.
Korn -See you on the other side
Korn!! Are you ready!!!
Korn - First album - We were blasting heavy shit in the hockey dressing room before games in 1994-95, Pantera, Metallica, Offspring etc. But someone brought Korn in one game and it blew me away.

Slipknot
Evanescence, AMVs, and the local FM alternative station (that got bought and turned into like the 8th modern country station in the region. I don't even mind country but it feels like it's every other station now)
Evanescence It wasn’t Bring Me To Life surprisingly tho
Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park
Hybrid Theory, White Pony, Toxicity from older brother
i think it was slipknot? it might've been korn with freak on a leash though
Slipknot.
Linkin Park introduced me to it, but I didn't truly fall in love with nu-metal till I listened to KoRn's See You On The Other Side
Adema
Mainly listening to the radio back in 1999-2000. I remember loving it as a kid. Limp Bizkit and Korn were the first bands I really got into. Then came Linkin Park, Static X, and everything else. Nu metal was everywhere back then.
Korn and Mudvayne

Mudvayne. Watching Ghost Ship. Then watched Resident Evil the same weekend and was introduced to Slipknot. I’ve never been the same.
Limp bizkit. My big brother had chocolate starfish on cd when it came out. Take a look an around was my favorite song off the album. My 5/6 year old self was tripped out by the album cover
back in '98 Korn (Freak on a Leash, Got the Life) and Kid Rock (Bawitdaba) first introduced me to the genre.
It was 1994, I was 15. A mate came over after school with this cassette tape and said have a listen to this. It’s like nothing you’ve ever heard before. So I put in my cassette player and blind started, I remember the “are you ready” lyric like it was yesterday, then it hits and I was like holy fk man! This is awesome!

Korn. Heard their first album when I was in middle school.
my mom played godsmack and disturbed’s first albums in the car when I was like 5
had a video game called Shaun Palmers pro Snowboarder - soundtrack introduced me to spineshank, alien ant farm, papa roach, static X, and P5000.
A friend got me into korn back just before follow the leader came out. The build up to that album dropping was wild. I’ve never seen another band roll down nyc in a fucking tank to album signing before while a sea of people were trying to get to them.
papa roach (last resort to be exact), although i only really got into the genre when i started listening to korn
Linkin park when i was 4 or 5. My sister listen to it . Then Mudvayne via NfS underground 2
Crazy Town. But with non nu metal song lol. I even didn’t like the song, but they looked like… I’ve thought “damn, these guys are cool, I got to hear more songs from them” and bought the tape.

Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Korn and Mudvayne primarily. If it wasn’t for wrestling I wouldn’t have been introduced to it as early.
Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit. I'm relatively nu to nu metal. Who should I check out next except for LP, LB and SOAD?
Slipknot and their still my favorite
Linkin park’s - meteora
Beavis and Butthead
Linkin park I was like 6 in 2000…
Sevendust and Flaw
It was most definitely Linkin Park. Followed by Breaking Benjamin (this was all when I was 4-7 years old)
My best friend and I watched the Street Fighter animated movie and when Blind came on at the [end credits](https://youtu.be/40amobhI3mY?feature=shared), we were hooked.
The bands I was listening to before had pretty much broken up or started switching out too many members. It was something that wasn’t grunge at the time.

Linkin Park

Slipknot’s self-titled way back in 1999
Limp Bizkit
System of Bizkit Park
In my earliest childhood? I'd say Limp Bizkit, Hollywood Undead (if they're considered) can Skillet be considered nu metal? Slipknot , SOAD
Not sure if this is Nu Metal but I was 12 when I was introduced to Sepultura. That opened the door and Deftones (Around the Fur) quickly followed.
Probably Slipknot and Korn. I heard Korn on MTV I assume and my friends older brother listened to Slipknot and played it for us, but at the time I was still young and into Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys, lol. It wasn’t until Hybrid Theory came out that my tastes changed literally overnight and I got into all Nu Metal bands.

Are you ready
Korn self titled in 1994
Korn in 1997
Three Dollar Bill Yall in like '97 in my buddy's early 90s S-10 Blazer w/ the sound system. I heard Counterfeit, and I was hooked.
When i was like 8 I saw Re Arranged and Boiler music vids on TV, around 13 my friend had In The End as his phonecall sound, when I was 16 i was working at a store and my co worker would play Saliva's click click boom at 9 am, When I was 19 we was going to shows and one time they made a cover of Stalemste by LB and thats when i finally got hooked
Linkin park and limp bizkit mostly
Hearing the manson cover of sweet dreams in the opening of the 1999 remake of house on haunted Hill
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory was my introduction to music period lol
Slipknot and Korn,then deftones,papa roach,limp bizkit back in 1999
Rage against the machine, Deftones a bit, & then Linkin Park made me actually dive into it
around the fur
Limp bizkit
Korn follow the leader or deftones around the fur I don’t rember exactly
Korn and limp Bizkit. 10 or 11 years old my older bro showed me everything.
Evanescence. My older sister and dad loved Fallen so I always heard it when they played it in the car
Burn My Eyes.
My dad always played P.O.D. in the car
Weird Al’s Angry White Boy Polka. Basically found all of the songs and bands in that mashup and that was it.
I already knew Linkin Park but it hadn't appealed to me. I think SOAD self titled was the first time I actually was interested in nu metal, but I just really got into it with Slipknot self titled
Psychosocial- slipknot
Slipknot
Slipknots .5 album, their first one i listened to
kittie, theyre still one of my favs
Slipknot-Vol 3; The subliminal verses
I remember the exact song an the moment everything changed.. The ice cube cover,Wicked by korn an chino Before that I was a die hard hip hop fan, hip hop in the early 90s was amazing, but then by about 96/97 I was over it, then I discovered korn an fell in love with it, freeking loved nu metal ever since
Korn self titled
Slipknot self titled
KORN
The Ozzfest ‘96 VHS
Linkin Park
Deftones be quiet and drive 🥺😭
KoRn - Follow the Leader
Linkin park and orgy
Probably hot dog flavored water by bizkit, listen to it at 5 years old
That one video with Kleiner and Eli. Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory then later became the first nu metal album I owned in my cd collection which I started last year.
System of a Down psycho
Probably Slipknot, my mom was a metalhead so it was either the Vol.3 or Linkin Park's a thousand suns
Linkin Park and Disturbed
Limp bizkit
I was buying a mettalica cassette when I saw a korn and disturbed one, I purchased the sickness and have been a fan ever since
Linkin Park & Slipknot
either snot or limp bizkit
hmmm, not a specific artist or song but i LOVE the indie animation "metal family" and that was my inspiration to listen to nu metal :)
I dont acc remember mine but Wisconsin Death Trip by Static X was the first nu metal album i listened too in its entirety so i class that as my first
Late 90s, early 2000s MTV
slipknot and five finger death punch
Limp Bizkit/Orgy/Methods of Mayhem. Nu Metal started when I started playing music, around 1998 or so. I’d say Rage but I don’t think they are Nu Metal.
Korn - Freak On A Leash (first time I listend to it was on a YouTube video called Marvel vs DC Villains)
Hybrid Theory
Deftones with Mini Maggit lol
For me Really understanding what Nu-metal is probably Kittie
Korn's Follow the Leader was the first nu-metal album I really got into. I remember when I first watched the 'Freak On a Leash' video, I begged my mom to take me to buy the album (I was in 7th grade, just to clear that up). A friend brought Slipknot's self-titled album not long after that and that's definitely what ended up getting me really into everything nu-metal.
It was Korn!!!
Linkin Park - One step closer or Psychosocial by Slipknot
Korn. Mudvayne and early Staind can have some credit too
Limp Bizkit
LB. Sig other
I remember White Zombie playing on MTV when I was little, but I will still credit Limp Bizkit’s “Faith” as the moment. That was the first time I ever heard anyone growl and ever heard that style of hard rock or metal or whatever you wanna consider it.
Deftones adrenaline 1995 I was thirteen.
Korn- life is peachy
ICP
Korn's self-titled album
