Top Ten Worst Nu-Metal Bands
Nu-Metal is a disaster! These are the worst of the worst.Anthrax created rap-metal with songs like Bring the Noise. But at least they did it well. Every other band that I've heard that's tried rap-metal sucks.
Maybe Fred Durst is bad, but this band still is amazing and Wes Borland is awesome guitarist.
This is the only band here that deserves to be on this list.
That awkward moment when you're the best and the worst nu metal band at the same time
Linkin Park doesn't strike me as metal at all. They suck as well, nothing nice to say about them.
It's funny beacause actually Linkin Park was 1 on best nu-metal bands list
Papa Roach is just... well Papa Roach. Most of their "huge fans" only know Last Resort.
Horrible singer and a band with an image based around dysfunctional teens and...cockroaches.
PR has more songs than just "Last Resort", such as Scars, Wanna Be Loved, and much more.
They've gotten FAR better over all those years.
Another metalhead bashing another genre of metal. I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion but why can't metalheads just accept everything for what it is? Nu metal did not kill metal. There's some nu metal that is actually very good. Bands like Slipknot, Korn, Evanescence, Disturbed, and System of a Down. Even if you don't like those bands you can't say their songs aren't powerful and emotional. Now I'm not trying to force my opinion on you guys but I'm just saying give it a chance. You don't have to, but just give it a chance and see if you like it or not.
For a long time, I liked Korn, but then I moved on to a better band called Coal Chamber. Even though Korn and Anthrax were created first, and released albums before Coal Chamber, Coal Chamber did early shows with nu metal before it was played by Korn.
This list was literally just made by close-minded nu-metal haters. How pathetic, since none of the comments actually agree lmao
They're actually one of the few nu metal bands that appeal to me. But their newer stuff isn't that great.
I don't see people wearing Drowning Pool shirts and what not. Also, Sinner is a great album because Dave Williams was a great singer, and the singers they had after him were never that good.
Similar to Papa Roach, there are people wearing Drowning Pool merch but they can't name a song other than Bodies.
Bodies was played to torture prisoners.
I don't like this band
Combine rap metal Vanilla Ice, Slipknot costumes and the worst of Limp Bizkit and you've got this group.
Obviously you asses haven't heard any of their GOOD SONGS like Bullet, Circles, Sing, Scava, Outside, Nobodys Watching, We are, Young, Paradise Lost and Gravity.
I know they might sound weird, but just listen to the lyrics.
Do I even need to say why they should be number 1?
Why aren't these guys #1 on the list?
In my opinion slipknot got better songs than mushroomhead, but these guys are most original than slipknot
Mushroomhead are a bunch of wannabee Slipknot guys. They aren't as mainstream as some of these other bands, but they don't impress me.
This band should be disqualified, as they are an industrial metal band, and not primarily a nu metal band.
idiot Mush came out 6 years before Slipknot so your opinion is now invalid because SK ripped off Mush.
In 2002, they released Darkhorse, which was a significant flop compared to their debut. This would cause... read more
I'm surprised Godsmack isn't in the top five. Seriously, they're one of the worst offenders when it comes to stupid ideas being repeated over and over ad nauseam.
I have not heard a song by this band that is worth listening to. They say that BYOB and Chop Suey are some of the best songs ever, but I see no appeal in them.
Okay... I understand a lot of the bands in this list... but how did this band get here?
I can understand why this band is in here because of the lyrics
My favorite band I now hate this list
Dope isn't awful, but that's no compliment, I wouldn't listen to them willfully.
I am strongly arguing against putting them in the top ten. First of all, some people don't realize that Slipknot wears masks to better their stage presence, like GWAR. They also have a lot of members... like GWAR. GWAR is fairly respected among the metalhead community, so why not Slipknot? I mean, GWAR is meant to be a comedy band, but they are still well-respected due to their fantastic live shows. Slipknot does have one thing that is completely undeniable... FANTASTIC LIVE SHOWS. Everyone complains about the theatrics of this band, but WHY? If anything, they make the band BETTER in that regard. I'm not saying this band's a ripoff of GWAR, but even if they are, Oreos came after Hydrox... and everyone likes Oreos. My point from that is that sometimes ripoffs are better than the original, and like Oreos, Slipknot proves this in many ways.
Slipknot has a few good songs. However the masks, and the fact that they have 9 MEMBERS is ridiculous. They are by no means a good band and if it takes 9 people to make that music when bands like Dream Theater can make 10x more and better music with 5 people, then Slipknot members obviously aren't musicians.
Boo! Slipknot definitely deserves to be number 1 on this list or not on this list at all since in my opinion they are more of a pop metal band than a nu metal band but then again in their defense they r the world's first metal boy band LOL! -Avery
Whether you like these dudes or not, it is hard to argue that they don’t have originality or talent. I don't know if there is an outfit more iconic than these guys outfits. Lyrical content, maybe not so much. But these guys are pretty cool regardless
How the hell do you put one of the best metal bands of the 00s? Disturbed is one of the best bands that keep the modern metal alive.
These guys should be at #2 I hate them
