System Of A Down

[Exsanguination]

Perhaps it would be necessary (since we have gotten into defining genres) to mention that System of a Down isn't Nu-Metal? Nu-Metal is Incubus... and... ah hell, the last time I turned on the radio (other than NPR) was at least 3 or 4 months ago. I don't know the names, but I can recognize it. If you think SOAD is talentless, then listen to some of the real new stuff coming out! (I'm a drummer, btw)

SOAD is to metal what Death by Stereo is to punk. They are a metal band with a political voice but do so humorous and good-naturedly (is that a word?).

Oh, I don't mind System of a Down, but then again I don't like Metal music to begin with...

Errr... Obviously, because Rhapsody do good music and Pantera et al do not ?

Oh, so Pendantic!

I can't argue with you there.
I should mention (before you get too upset) that I do actually like Pantera much either.
But many tastes make up a genre.
Pantera at least have been around since before bands like System of...etc.

You question is a bit like "If you claim to like music, then why the heck do you make comment about about people who make bad music ?". Don't get it. I can dislike "Pantera et al" without disliking the whole metal world.

Did I say you couldn't like or dislike anything?
Would I defend a band I don't even like?

You work it out...

I suppose you stopped to read my previous post halfway, so I'll quote it and put in bold some critical sentences.

No need.
You see, I have these two orbs of tissue implanted in my skull...
They are called eyes...

To conclude, this rather pointless tete-a-tete just goes to prove the umutable law of 'each to their own'.

Oddly though, we both like Rhaposdy and both dislike Pantera,
but we still manage to disagree...

The Human nature is fascinating...

I can't say i like them either, i've tried listening to various NU-metal bands, Korn, Slipknot, Linkin Park etc., i just simply put, didn't enjoy listening to them.
I prefer the older names in metal, Motorhead, Slayer, Sepultura and so on.

Any of you all hear the song with the words "Pushing little children with the fully automatics, they like to push the weak around" I am not sure what cd it is on, but that is my favorite of their songs.

'Deer Dance' would be the name of that song, it's on their 2nd album, Toxicity

And Exsanguination you are right, SOAD are not nu-metal!!!!
