People need to learn how to chill, we all have different opinions, and we all see bands in different ways, I personally do not agree with the tear Bradley put Mudvayne, as I said, they are freaking insane, and they are one of my favourite bands of all time (and I'm really hoping for a mew album), but this is his opinion and it is completely fine, we can't all agree our favourite band will be others favourite, but we can all share our love for metal and agree it is the best genre out there, we got passionate musicians writing songs from their heart, many of the songs we can feel what they're felling, an example of that is Would? By Alice In Chains, I got chills every single time I heard that song, or Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) by The Offspring. Every time I hear thay song, it brings me back to middle school, a time where everything was simpler than nowadays, and bring me back great memories...
The first time I heard Brackish by Kittie I was stunned at how hard the intro goes and then in come the vocals that sound like she's recorded a voice note at 2am while trying to not wake up her parents
I recommend possibly giving more of Spit a chance, or check out some of their later albums. They drifted more towards Heavy Metal later in their catalogue. They started out as young teens in Canada, so their musicianship needed time to grow. They might not be your jam, but Morgan Lander knows her riffs.
Yeah, I always got the idea that Korn was very popular among emotionally weak and damaged people. Same as Nirvana. At least that's the experience I had, being a teenanger and young adult. I'm 40, so I experienced the Nu-Metal's rise to popularity.
the most technical "nu-metal" band on this list.. I mean, apart from some moments where you could say that the singer is rapping and some nu-metal riffs, their music on the first two albums is easily progmetal
AGREE. Eternal Primates is one of the best songs to come out of metal, like ever in my opinion. Such an intense and fun song. Plus the funky bass fills towards the end always get me.
@@JustAnotherHeavyMetalManiac I love some of the songs on it, but most of them sound very similar. Kinda like little pieces off of one big chunk that is the album😂
Being old as F, Mudvayne was such a breath of fresh air when they hit the airwaves. Nu-metal was fast approaching parody point and here comes "Dig" . To this day its one of the last, if not the last, truly heavy songs to chart on radio and MTV. LD50 changed the game at the time. Unfortunately they minimized bassist and drummer each subsequent album, the 2 things that made them unique, and became blander and blander. But to this day LD50 STILL hits hard, legendary album
@@jaygopinath1694yeah but personally he kinda just reccomended them he didn’t rlly do anything music wise- either way.. still an epic band have a gud day dude! 💚
100%. I could listen to LD 50 any time. Can't say that about a lot of the stuff I used to like. Like Follow the Leader was one of my favorite albums in high school in the very early 2000's...tried listening to it now and it's just so bad for the most part.
A bit of context about Kittie : they were 16 when they recorded their first album, which is the only one you can legitimately call "nu metal". It's actually pretty decent coming from such young musicians. At the time (2000) they were also one of the very few all female metal band, something that thankfully has become much more common since, in some small part thanks to them I believe. I had the pleasure of seeing them live once back in 2010, and they rocked pretty fucking hard. They're awesome.
They just released a new single for a new album that slams so far. Later kittie albums went hard. Anyone who says the album 'I failed you' isn't awesome is lying to you.
@@slayerdeth0705 check out the later albums when you can. Kittie is one of those bands where they get better with each new release. They now have 7 studio albums as of the new album.
My favorite Slipknot intro is "Surfacing" it still gets me going to this day! Ps i know that papa roach is overplayed but the guitar lick is still iconic to some degree.
I literally cracked my neck bashed my head on my door frame and fellover putting a hole in my wall going down to hard to that banger I am going to see slipknot live end of the year gona be insane live 🤘
I actually like the papa roach that hasn’t really made the radio. Last resort is iconic. I loved that album. I guess my prom date liked it more and stole it after prom. She probably wasn’t the best person…
@@jaygopinath1694 F*ck it all, f*ck this world, f*ck everything that you stand for! Don't belong, don't exist, don't give sh*t, don't ever judge meee! Omg me an my brother used to mosh to that song in the 90s in our living room... Good times
@@atvenaif it’s the censored version. If it isn’t on Amazon or whatever site and says Significant other [explicit] Break stuff [explicit] Limp bizkit I’m listening
Mudvayne is way bigger than Dig, believe me. LD50 is so fucking good. And Deftones are heavy, you have to listen their 1st album Static X are damn good, evil disco 🤘
The best “NuMetal” band was Mudvayne. Aside from the meme “Dig” video, the whole L.D. 50 had some good bangers. Plus their bassist, Ryan Martini is phenomenal. Why he isn’t talked about more, say like, Cliff Burton or Les Claypool in the metal community I can’t understand.
It became the most popular subgenre because it's the best one so insecure people who make being alternative their entire identity had to cope by hating it
Because a lot of the bands are more hard rock sounding and have no business being labeled as metal. Static x: definitely metal. Linkin park? Hard rock. Korn? More hard rock than metal. Disturbed? Metal. Slipknot: most definitely metal. System of a Down? Metal. Drowning pool? More hard rock. It was a blend and a fine line i guess so people just lumped it all together cause it all had similar aesthetics. At this point it doesn’t really matter to me do you enjoy the music? Great! Don’t? That’s fine too 😂.
@@CreativeMindsAudio Linkin park is not hard rock. They got a bit of hard rock after Meteora, but those two first albums (the ones people mostly appreciate) are nu metal. Korn isn't hard rock either, is literally the band that spawn the genre. Labeling those first 4 albums anything other than Nu metal is not accurate. Also take in mind they don't sound anything like the hard rock bands of the era
I personally love Mushroomhead. Jefferey Nothing has that raw operatic voice that you just don't find anywhere else in this genre. Sure they're repetitive. But that's not always bad if what's being repeated is good.
I wonder that Ill Nino doesn't appear in any Nu-Metal tier list? Sometimes Sevendust?! Both imo are more nu-metal than Linkin park (after their first two albums)
And kittie was also just a bunch of high school girls also. Literally about the same age as Milla kunis, Thora birch, Scarlett Johansson, and Jessica biel at that time
I think that if you didn’t grow up in the 90s/early 2000s as a teenager listening to these bands in their “era” then you probably don’t get them. The majority of these bands are an integral part of my teenage years and I still love a lot of them today. They’re literally the soundtrack of 90s/00s. The best years!
4:30 - I want to expand/correct something I said in the livestream about Coal Chamber: So Coal Chamber was sort of Sharon Osbourne's pet project; she was their manager. She got them booked to open for the Insane Clown Posse for what was supposed to be a two-month tour IIRC, but ICP booted them off the tour after only two shows because "they weren't a draw" according to ICP. This pissed off Sharon, which led to a feud between the two and it culminated in a rather infamous appearance on the Howard Stern Show where Sharon bet ICP that their upcoming album would not clear 200K sales and they would be dropped from their label. Sharon lost the bet and has never paid up.
You probably expected a lot of this but I have to give you crap about Deftones. Absolutely an S-Tier. Yes, I'm a nerd. No, I don't care. Here's a nerd ramble: From the third album onward they took so many directions and are probably, out of all of these bands, the most influential in terms of how they've touched on so many different sub-genres, from shoegaze to post-metal to hardcore and much more. I can't see a band like Turnstile being so successful without the mark Deftones made. Not everyone's cup of tea. But undeniably great.
Music snobs avoid Limp Bizkit like kryptonite. That's one of the reasons why I liked them as I entered my 40s. It was a refreshing change to see such unpretentiousness.
Mudvayne is freaking insane. Every single album and song are awesome... Drowning Pool the first album with Dave Williams is the best, and I am still listening to this day... I was thinking about this yesterday, I would love to see something about Skindred, just like Mudvayne, not even a single album or song is bad! (Didn't hear the entire Smile album, but for the songs I heard, still great)
Deftones and kittie go hand in hand tbh. Both formed in high school, both angry, both heavy, except deftones went more atmospheric while kittie went death/groove/thrash metal
Korn was probably at their peak, the best of the Nu Metal. The OG’s. Also, Deftones without a doubt. There would be no Korn without Kyuss. Also, that weird random Ozzy song you clicked on, was a cover of none other than England’s own, Peter Gabriel, "Shock The Monkey."
I'm quite perplexed that you placed Deftones below Limp Bisquick and Static X, but I understand that it's your opinion, and I shall respect your ranking Bradley Hall (I love you and your content mate). To me Deftones isn't necessarily nu metal. I feel their sound kept evolving with each record they put out with their roots intact, but never fully copied their biggest release (White Pony).
you really should listen Deftones's debut album Adrenaline. it's one of the best albuns I ever heard, it's not in the same level as Rust in Peace, Master of Puppets and The Subliminal Verses but it's definitely at the same level of Toxicity and And Justice For All
Kittie slaps, I like em. Also they wer like 15-16 when they released their first album, Spit. Was very much into Slipknot, KoRN, SOAD, Clawfinger, Coal Chamber and Static-X... with a bit of Disturbed on the side. Still listen to most of it on occasion. ALso kinda funny that Disturbed shared that parody of them that is on CZcams somewhere on Facebook. Hilarious video that.
Morgan (the singer) was a high school senior/legal adult (18). Talena (the bassist) was 17. And Mercedes (the drummer and Morgan’s younger sister) and Fallon (guitar and backing vocals) were both 16
Remember the US Navy had that recruiting ad with their song 'Awake'. "Life - Liberty - And the Pursuit of all those who threaten them" was that catch phrase at the end of the video.
The summer of 1999 was peak nu-metal. Follow the Leader was going strong, Significant Other had just been released, gong-show Woodstock 99, the Family Values tour had just been released a few months earlier….fun times.
I'd have put Kittie as B or A, personally - I remember when Brackish first released. Those women are just as old as I am, so when they broke through, it hit me. Kittie is an acquired taste ;)
In all honesty my top 3 songs id recommend from mudvayne are: 1. Death blooms 2. Happy? 3. Scream with me Leaving aside the the s tier band member. Chads as a lyrist and vocalist is definitely shown in death bloom live 2001 rock am ring.
@@Steve-gq5zygroovy, grungy, alternative rock with dj scratch??? Not nu metal?? Coldplay is full alt rock, incubus is alt rock category in nu metal genres, like limp bizkit hip hop or skindred reggae
Definitely need more nu metal content. Im a huge fan of Deftones, Incubus, early Mudvayne/Disturbed, Early AAF, Early Korn. Seen many of them live. Papa Roach also had a great live show. I guess more of the Alternative metal side than the pure Nu metal side. Where would you rank Incubus?
Incubus is more a rock/alternative band. Only SCIENCE (awesome album) comes near to nu-metal. For me incubus was a "one album wonder". I tried the album before and after SCIENCE, but .... also newer singles ... all boring s***
True, they were always closer to RHCP, FNM and Mr Bungle than the rest but they did get lumped in with Nu Metal because heavy riffs, DJ and pseudo rapping. S.C.I.E.N.C.E was the closest album to the Nu Metal blueprint...but what a fucking colossal album.
@tchall6195 Yeah, they are more Alt Metal (same for Deftones later stuff, AAF, etc). Make Yourself and Morning View were staples for me. And yeah, their newer stuff isn't as quality. Hopefully, this new album they are making is gonna slap. Gotta listen to the re-record of Circles. It's got a breakdown.
@@steveleadbeater8662 Don't know where you're from but here in the communist years rock music had a totally diffrent chronology and Beatles were popular even in the 70-80s. Those were hard times, don't remember much of late 80s but a Queen vinyl was somenthing quite rare and could get you in trouble. Cheers!
@@pchasco of course. I really liked Godsmack's first album. I thought it was fantastic. My problem came with everything after it. Everything they released sounded derivative of that first album. They all sounded like I Stand Alone or that other one (the title escapes me). The only song that stood out as time went on was Voodoo. But like you said, this is only a matter of opinion. Mine, to be exact. They weren't bad by any means, but that's also an opinion, haha.
Question, how are they even nu-metal? They sound like if you would mix newer Metallica with Alice in Chains.. but nu-metal? Are people really that deaf?
That's because they only did like two whole albums of that. And while the discography was more than that, those 2 albums happened to be the most appreciated
Growing up in this time period and trying to start a band was a massive pain for me. Metal was rare in my school as is and the only metal heads around exclusively listened to nu metal. I was more into classic heavy metal, doom, and stoner, but everyone else viewed it as grandpa music.
I was a huuuge fan of these bands back in the day. All of them except for Kittie and Mushroomhead. I also enjoyed listening to Taproot, Ill Niño, Fear Factory and Chevelle a lot. Since then I still listen to Static-X and System of a Down from time to time. I have to say that I also enjoyed listening to the last two albums by Fear Factory.
Linkin Park, SOAD, Slipknot as the top three of S tier, I was thinking the exact same. Great bands! I havent listened a ton to Disturbed or Korn, but from what I have heard, they are both way below the top 3. I would not have put them in the same bracket, but I guess they have some history/ legacy, or something. I just had/ still have a hard time getting into their music.
Why has this video been swamped with Mudvayne stans LMAO

I was thinking about this yesterday, I would love to see something about Skindred, just like Mudvayne, not even a single album or song is bad! (Didn't hear the entire Smile album, but for the songs I heard, still great)
the iconic ou ah ah ah ah will always turn you to monke mode
I'm really offended by the disrespect shown for Kittie... And DEFTONES!!!
Anyway, love It! Do more...
Deftones and kittie go hand in hand tbh. Both formed in high school, both angry, both heavy, except deftones went more atmospheric while kittie went death/groove/thrash metal
And on the bracket right above the Nu metal S tier is where the general metal music tier table starts...
Alien Ant Farm is pop-punk
Pop punk with nu metal elements
Korn was probably at their peak, the best of the Nu Metal. The OG’s.
Also, Deftones without a doubt. There would be no Korn without Kyuss. Also, that weird random Ozzy song you clicked on, was a cover of none other than England’s own, Peter Gabriel, "Shock The Monkey."
Kittie!
Gotta be higher up!
LOL
Aw man.
Nu metal is more of a time period than it is a genre
Korn, more like peas is the best joke ive ever heard
I would love to see you react to 80s hard rock/glam bands like Extreme, Europe, Ratt, etc.
Now we are talking. 80s hard rock 👍
You must do a best metal albums tier list!
How did I lost this stream noooooooooooooo
I'm quite perplexed that you placed Deftones below Limp Bisquick and Static X, but I understand that it's your opinion, and I shall respect your ranking Bradley Hall (I love you and your content mate). To me Deftones isn't necessarily nu metal. I feel their sound kept evolving with each record they put out with their roots intact, but never fully copied their biggest release (White Pony).
Maybe Hed-Pe should be on there? Bartender was a banger 👊🏻
Waiting to die is also a banger, stereotypically edgy but still very good
You deserve a Big friking thumbs Up. I got into heavy metal and thrash with nu metal. Great bands 🤘🤘🤘
What do you think of our rankings? Are you a NU METAL fan??
Not a fan at all, except 'System of a Down'... that's the only one that I like from that genre, tbh...
Definitely a fan. Some great music came from this genre.
The list pretty much matches mine.
Good rank, but put Mudvaine on top of it😉
Golly gosh the rankings don't agree with my tum tum at all.
Bizkit over SlopKnot any day personally
you really should listen Deftones's debut album Adrenaline. it's one of the best albuns I ever heard, it's not in the same level as Rust in Peace, Master of Puppets and The Subliminal Verses but it's definitely at the same level of Toxicity and And Justice For All
Kittie were disrespected
Fr
nah they're corny but they're s tier over shit like disturbed
@@digitalmortality2001and they were only 16,17, and 18 and all high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors and you expect them to not be corny 💀
@@lukelyall5879 and i'll give them a pass for that, but that doesn't make the music anymore listenable lol
Ikkkk
Funny you should mention vampire movies... This whole video could have been the Queen of the Damned soundtrack.
The Kittie disrespect is unforgivable
Especially now that they’re the same age as many 90s/2000s sitcom/movie stars
Kittie slaps, I like em. Also they wer like 15-16 when they released their first album, Spit.
Was very much into Slipknot, KoRN, SOAD, Clawfinger, Coal Chamber and Static-X... with a bit of Disturbed on the side. Still listen to most of it on occasion.
ALso kinda funny that Disturbed shared that parody of them that is on CZcams somewhere on Facebook. Hilarious video that.
Morgan (the singer) was a high school senior/legal adult (18). Talena (the bassist) was 17. And Mercedes (the drummer and Morgan’s younger sister) and Fallon (guitar and backing vocals) were both 16
Godsmack has "bulletproof" and "when legends rise" both good songs. The rest I agree with you on though
Remember the US Navy had that recruiting ad with their song 'Awake'. "Life - Liberty - And the Pursuit of all those who threaten them" was that catch phrase at the end of the video.
The summer of 1999 was peak nu-metal. Follow the Leader was going strong, Significant Other had just been released, gong-show Woodstock 99, the Family Values tour had just been released a few months earlier….fun times.
Godsmack is f’in evil Creed. 🤣
I'd have put Kittie as B or A, personally - I remember when Brackish first released. Those women are just as old as I am, so when they broke through, it hit me.
Kittie is an acquired taste ;)
Later Kittie albums went hard. Go check out the new album and then tell me they aren't at least A tier
im sorry bradley but i will continue to listen to nu metal
This was a great live stream.
In all honesty my top 3 songs id recommend from mudvayne are:
1. Death blooms
2. Happy?
3. Scream with me
Leaving aside the the s tier band member. Chads as a lyrist and vocalist is definitely shown in death bloom live 2001 rock am ring.
Under my skin. Heaviest song on ld50
You never fail to make me laugh bradley, love your content 🫘🫘🫘🫘
Nu metal is so goated
Also Bradley I will not forgive you for shitting on coal chamber, godsmack, and kittie lmao
Diggin the video mate. Good bit of fun innet
I unironically have a Disturbed smile tattoo and am not ashamed of it. The Sickness still rips.
The chewits ad lmao😂
Beanley can you do a power metal tier list?
He would probably put all in d besides like Dragonforce
@@WailmurSabaton all the way though
Of all bands you picked DRAGONFORCE@@Wailmur
@@Thefrogking234 because he's said he likes them more than other power metal bands. My favorites are Sabaton and Beast In Black
@@user-mc3jw2gt9y in my opinion for sure
Kittie is awesome bradley, need listen more them
I'm stuck rewatching the moment when you had a mental break down with the brr brr deng band
You forgot Incubus, Crazy Town, P.O.D., Trapt, Skindred and Powerman 5000!
Incubus is alternative rock, not nu metal.
@@Steve-gq5zypost grunge*
@@Steve-gq5zy The first albums clearly had nu metal influences. Hard and heavy riffs with a crushing guitar tone. This mixed with Funk influences.
@@Steve-gq5zygroovy, grungy, alternative rock with dj scratch??? Not nu metal?? Coldplay is full alt rock, incubus is alt rock category in nu metal genres, like limp bizkit hip hop or skindred reggae
You should listen Mushroomhead and Kittie more :)
Mushroomhead isn’t my type of metal but I will listen to spit in full and what I always wanted and run like heck anytime
Definitely need more nu metal content.
Im a huge fan of Deftones, Incubus, early Mudvayne/Disturbed, Early AAF, Early Korn.
Seen many of them live. Papa Roach also had a great live show.
I guess more of the Alternative metal side than the pure Nu metal side.
Where would you rank Incubus?
Finally...SOMEONE mentions Incubus. First 4 albums and e.p's are god-tier...
...ACLOTM onwards, not so much.
Incubus is more a rock/alternative band. Only SCIENCE (awesome album) comes near to nu-metal. For me incubus was a "one album wonder". I tried the album before and after SCIENCE, but .... also newer singles ... all boring s***
True, they were always closer to RHCP, FNM and Mr Bungle than the rest but they did get lumped in with Nu Metal because heavy riffs, DJ and pseudo rapping. S.C.I.E.N.C.E was the closest album to the Nu Metal blueprint...but what a fucking colossal album.
@tchall6195 Yeah, they are more Alt Metal (same for Deftones later stuff, AAF, etc). Make Yourself and Morning View were staples for me. And yeah, their newer stuff isn't as quality. Hopefully, this new album they are making is gonna slap.
Gotta listen to the re-record of Circles. It's got a breakdown.
My dad had in his youth Beatles, Queen and fladred jeans. We had Limp Bizkit, Skipknot and baggy jeans. Never thought I'll say that with nostalgia. ❤
Was your dad cryogenically frozen?? you've just covered 20 years of music. Hell the Beatles had already broken up before Queen had even formed.
@@steveleadbeater8662 Don't know where you're from but here in the communist years rock music had a totally diffrent chronology and Beatles were popular even in the 70-80s. Those were hard times, don't remember much of late 80s but a Queen vinyl was somenthing quite rare and could get you in trouble. Cheers!
You are underestimating Godsmack
I am not sure Godsmack even belongs in this comparison.
No. He isn't.
@@DanFloresII They weren’t terrible. Matter of opinion of course
@@pchasco of course. I really liked Godsmack's first album. I thought it was fantastic. My problem came with everything after it. Everything they released sounded derivative of that first album. They all sounded like I Stand Alone or that other one (the title escapes me). The only song that stood out as time went on was Voodoo. But like you said, this is only a matter of opinion. Mine, to be exact. They weren't bad by any means, but that's also an opinion, haha.
Question, how are they even nu-metal? They sound like if you would mix newer Metallica with Alice in Chains.. but nu-metal? Are people really that deaf?
I genuinely never even knew Sliptknot was considered Nu metal
That's because they only did like two whole albums of that. And while the discography was more than that, those 2 albums happened to be the most appreciated
What else would it be? Not brutal enough to be death metal but can't really out them in any other subgenre either
Spit it out ???
@@atvenayes
@@humb1s3rvant I'm not asking you
Growing up in this time period and trying to start a band was a massive pain for me. Metal was rare in my school as is and the only metal heads around exclusively listened to nu metal. I was more into classic heavy metal, doom, and stoner, but everyone else viewed it as grandpa music.
Lol, once my band opened for mushroomhead with a bunch of other bands. We did not stay to see them.
I encourage you to give Kittie another chance
Static x fucking rocks!
None of those bands would be below B tier for me. Sigh. You're just too young, you weren't there, you just don't understand my music maaaan
I respect the list. My only complaint is that Sevendust was missing, they are easily in my top 3, alongside SOAD and Disturbed
I was a huuuge fan of these bands back in the day. All of them except for Kittie and Mushroomhead. I also enjoyed listening to Taproot, Ill Niño, Fear Factory and Chevelle a lot. Since then I still listen to Static-X and System of a Down from time to time. I have to say that I also enjoyed listening to the last two albums by Fear Factory.
kittie is fuckin awesome
The mommy part of down with the sickness is the goofiest shit ever
I still can’t believe Fortnite let that part pass.
Linkin Park, SOAD, Slipknot as the top three of S tier, I was thinking the exact same. Great bands! I havent listened a ton to Disturbed or Korn, but from what I have heard, they are both way below the top 3. I would not have put them in the same bracket, but I guess they have some history/ legacy, or something. I just had/ still have a hard time getting into their music.
Mushroomhead is life. Life is Mushroomhead.
