You don’t even have to listen to what he says, just watch him for a while. He seems to be a 60-year-old hillbilly. I don’t get it! It’s gotta be a joke.
this is his pic from wiki. holy hell he’s hot

Auditions for the Blue Collar Comedy tour did not go well, I assume.
at first glance i thought that was billy joel
That’s really bizarre. He didn’t used to talk like that, did he? Someone find an old interview or something?
He’s either really fucked up or completely kidding.
By the way, I want to apologize about bringing Fred Durst to theScrabbled. I just had to show you guys this.
That was linked at Stereogum and many of the commentators indicated it was some sort of shtick or bit they were doing. I’m not sure I believe that, but still….
Also, there are very few advantages and/or things that are great about being old. One of them is that I was old enough when Nu Metal/Rap Rock hit to know better and realize that those bands were the hair metal of their day and not to get suckered in.

Not to rain on your old parade, but you didn’t have to be old to figure that out, oldy von oldenberger.
Hair Metal was around when I was in kindergarten and even THEN I knew it was the shittiest genre of music around.
I don’t know, I’d venture to guess that most people under 30 at least owned one cd by a “rock” band with either a rapper and/or a dj. If they didn’t then more power to ‘em but I’d like for everyone to lay it on the table right now to see where we all stand on this.
Fuck. Now that I think about it, you’re actually right Kevin. My pop-punk band at the time (1998 or so) actually had a song called “Notorious K.I.D” and we covered “Jump Around” at shows. Fuck. That’s so much worse than owning a cd.
I hated Limp Bizkit though.

balls on you, that one incubus record is really really good
I’ll admit it. I own the first two korn cds, the first two limp bizkit cds (though the second one wasn’t my doing and I’d already decided I hated them by that point), all the deftones albums, the first 3 1/2 incubus albums.
I still love Deftones and that first Incubus LP.
oh damn i forgot about deftones. BELOVED.
I have the first three Korn CDs, and the first two Limp Bizkit CDs.
I still listen to the Deftones from time to time, and Incubus was pretty decent during their day. What do they do now? are they still a band?
Also, I have the one Machine Head album where they decided to become a rap-rock band. It’s pretty terrible.
they put out a record last year that i never managed to hear any of the singles from!
i didn’t like make yourself nearly as much as i liked science, and couldn’t muster the interest to buy morning view or any of the subsequent records. SIGH

Yeah, but we were all having fun back then. You weren’t doing it for a living.
Old Fred Durst looks like Michael Stipe swallowed Larry the Cable Guy. INNUENDO!
Please, they’d put a Man On The Moon before Stipe would swallow Larry the Cable Guy.

What was the third Korn album? I think the one with Freak on a Leash was the most recent I got. That was the third, wasn’t it?
As for Incubus, I think they just released a new single or something. I lost interest with Morning View cause it was terrible.
i read the incubus wiki page out of curiosity, and discovered brandon boyd is way younger than i expected, and that they are not touring currently because of school/family/recording and shit.
also i’ve been wearing the incubus shirt i bought at ozzfest in 98 around the house when i am cold. i left it on the floor. alfie slept in it like it was her job.
I just like this thread because I remember one of the first conversations I had with John outside of the context of family dinners at our in-laws was an IM conversation that involved him telling me he went to see Deftones and Incubus. I responded that I didn’t really like Nu Metal and him getting riled up and using a good deal of exclamation points and caps explaining to me why neither band were Nu Metal.
Oh how, little Johnny has grown up.
i still don’t really think of either of those bands as nu-metal because they don’t appeal to juggalos
(icp isn’t really nu-metal either, but there’s a lot of crossover in fanship. juggalos fucking LOVE p.o.d. and shit like that)
(wow the wiki article on nu-metal makes me want to kill everything. it also doesn’t mention incubus or deftones. IF I [DIDN’T] READ IT ON THE INTERNET IT MUST BE TRUE!)
oh fuck the “list of nu-metal bands” does.. but how fucking relevant is it if it also lists helmet?
I AM SPAMMING THIS THREAD.
Oh my God! Fred Durst IS Garrison Keillor! Just listen to that honey-coated voice! Who would have though that the man who introduced me to Chet Atkins in my formative years would have a foray into awful rapish- rockish group.

But.. those bands ARE good! Hell, Deftones has way more in common with all the music you got me into than the other nu-metal bands.
While those bands may in fact be better than say Limp Bizkit and Powerman 5000 or Slipknot or their ilk, they are still Nu-Metal. I don’t make the rules, I just enforce them, and the rule is full rock band with rapper and/or dj equals Nu Metal. I’d like to be able to make exceptions but that starts a slippery slope process that none of us want to go down.
Dudes, it’s Gnu Metal. Get it wright.
Then Deftones isn’t nu-metal! They have neither rapper nor DJ. Incubus does, unfortunately, fall under that moniker due to their DJ, but he was actually pretty well used if you ask me.

(but I like where you’re going with the Gnu platform…)
The Deftones do have a DJ, Frank Delgado. I had this same argument on another message board, and when some dude responded with a “The Deftones do NOT have a DJ” I posted a picture of the cover of DJ Times with this dude on it. That ruled. Unfortunately I can’t find the picture now. And don’t try to sell me on the whole “Well, he also plays keyboards and samplers, etc.” That’s just about as lame as Linkin Park throwing a guitar on their rapper dude, asking him to pretend to play it and pretending they’re not Nu Metal and he’s not a rapper.

oh yeah.Ii forgot about him. Because he’s a keyboardist. He plays keyboards. I can’t think of a single Deftones song with scratching.

Yeah, that’s the third one. Freak on a Leash and Got the Life were on it. Korn was the self titled, then Life is Peachy, and then the third one was um.. Follow the Leader, I think it’s called?
Yeah, he’s a keyboardist. And this guy is Jimi Hendrix.

Fact of it is, I can’t think of ANY place he appears on their first album, I can think of ONE place he appears on their second album (playing samples), and he’s all over the third album playing keys (nord lead, to be specific).
It’s o.k., brother. I’m there for you during these last few strands of denial. In another year or so ironic Nu Metal nostalgia will be acceptable (I’m calling this Fred Durst video and it’s omniscient web presense on hipster blogs as being the opening shot fired in this wave). Then everyone can wave their red baseball caps, suede Adidas sneakers, and Deftones albums in the air like they just don’t care.
Kevin, this prediction reminds me Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing”.
I fucking hate that song so much and I’m so fucking mad that it or Journey as a whole had anything resembling a comeback.

I don’t know that there’s any standard by which continuing to barely fill small amphitheaters every summer on nostalgia package tours and being forced to find your new singer by watching youtube clips of a Phillipino wedding band playing your songs counts as “a comeback”.

Uncool! I tried to get an REM one going in another post! I can’t support this!
i’m sorry
i’ve sort of petered out though because there’s no slick way to include “wheel in the sky”
