  • Here are some of my favorite nu metal riffs! Enjoy :)
    EDIT: I had to remove the third riff (System of a Down - Forest) from the video because of a copyright claim ("melody or lyrics"). Sorry!

But he's not stupid and understood the success and the amount of money they could bring in, so he kinda just dealt with it, because that was the break he would probably never find again if he left the band. I'm not sure how true that is, but it does make sense. Because his projects that he started since then were NOTHING like Bizkit at all. Like not even remotely close.

      Except nu metal can be tribal metal too and visa versa, nu metal just means "New Wave Metal" that's different, raw, edgy and downtuned for the era, basically an evolution of pushing the envelope for the genre. Great example: listen to Pleymo - New Wave, it's a French Nu Metal song basically, an French Limp Bizkit and they came out around the same era as Limp Bizkit and it's all in French
