Godsmack made a song called "Love, Hate, Sex, Pain", and contains the exact same melody as "Love, Hate, Love", while Alice In Chains themselves have released a song with the lyrics "sex and pain", that's a fact. Godsmack has a logo with a sun, like Alice In Chains, that's a fact. Godsmack is the name of an Alice In Chains song, that's a fact. Godsmack has an album titled Faceless that features a face emerging from a background, Alice In Chains has an album titled Facelift that features a face emerging from a background, these are all facts. I guess whether it's actually similar enough to be considered "plagiarism" is subjective, so it's really up to you whether you consider it that or not. I think by legal definition, at least the melody lifting and song lyrics could definitely be. Sound is not a fact, I guess a 7-string guitar is a fact, but what does that have to do with plagiarism? Does anyone who plays a 7-string or downtuned guitar owe royalties to Korn? |
Not at all, apart from downtuned guitar, in examples I mentioned above there was groove and emotional lyrics. As you said, by legal definition only melody and lyrics could be a subject of plagiarism. Just compare Slayer's dittohead (second riff) to the main riff of Machine head's bulldozer. I think the best example of plagiarism is "Tier" by Rammstein.

Yeah, there's plenty of plagiarism in music dude, the point was that Godsmack has made a career out of it.

in the song Helmet in a Bush KOrn uses a Sample of a tape recorder rewinding and a click sample
also on some drum parts they used a 808 electronic Pad and this was just on there first record has they said dabbled with electronics and in korns own words early on they were simply trying to Mix the groove and bass of " gangsta rap" with the Rock that they were doing .... yup |
Korn's "Ball Tongue" rips of Morbid Angel. I still love that song and album though.
Nu metal is often scorned because it became very stale and derivative. Too many of the bands were doing the same exact thing and trying to take advantage of the trend. So it fell out of favor. Plus "nu metal" is a misnomer, since it isn't actually a type of metal. |
There are sometimes drastic separation between all the differet styles and sounds in this genre, it doesn't seem to make much sense at times.

I should say i agree with you on the 2 traits of nu-metal, id just like to add that i also consider hardcore a major influence on nu-metal, heck id even consider nu-metal a remote subgenre of hardcore, since both are groove based but too simple/different to be called groove metal, so that leaves hardcore as the only heavy groove based genre that nu-metal can fit in. Cos admit it, its not rock, nor hard rock, nor hip hop, the guitars are too different, theres no blues/pentatonic bases tonality in songs and the vocal styles/screams are reminiscent of hardcore too. Also, as a side note, i dont get how nu-metal being too simple is a problem for people, if anything it makes them sound hypocritical, cos those same people also happen to like ****in Beatles and if you hear a Beatles song with technical shredding and face-ripping riffs let me know. And in general, this nu-metal-hate argument reveals a lot of hypocritical straw-man bull**** in that, the things those people criticise in nu-metal, i can find them in their favorite genres. And nu-metal isnt my fav genre, neither in heavy music, nor in general, just sayin'. |

unless your talking about bands like Cro mags bad brains GG allen etc etc etc that came out around uhh 1988-1993 and most of those bands were from the East coast NY area and flordia milleesss away from califorina and KORN and besides korn members were big into the hole LA scene when they were teens givin the close proximnty to them so Hardcore of the early 90's had no effect on nu metal |
There's one Nu Metal band I really love.
Maximum the hormone. It's Alternative Metal/Nu Metal/ mixed with Funk Metal and modern Pop punk.They also made a few third wave ska songs. They have a male and female singer. The Nu Metal/Alternative Metal part is like System of a Down on crack, The Funk Metal/Rap Metal part is like early Red Hot Chili Peppers on crack, and then there's also the pop/pop punk parts. Oh, and they're Japanese. They're really silly and don't take themselves too seriously. I love it, for the most part. I know them the way most western people know them: Death Note Opening 2. other than that there's System of a down I like. They're more Alternative Metal than nu metal though, but I think it still counts. |
real NU metal u cant classifiy cus real NU metal= Music its just music LOL
that's why people are butt hurt LOL |

Hardcore Punk is primarily an 80's thing dude. Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, MDC, Discharge, that Dead Kennedys EP, Verbal Abuse, The F.U's, Negative Approach, Negative FX, Poison Idea, Gang Green, Government Issue, D.R.I, Battillion of Saints, D.O.A, Agnostic Front, etc. It's not a nineties thing at all.

Come on man, Hardcore Punk started in the 80's, and that was it's most important time period. Modern hardcore has a very different sound. I'm not saying it's not hardcore, but hardcore punk is without a doubt an 80's thing. ''uhhh u know Hardcore came out in like 2003 a little bit after Nu metal ..... unless your talking about bands like Cro mags bad brains '' Unless? Bad brains is one of the original hardcore punk bands? Why the unless? And cro-mags is crossover thrash, hardcore punk mixed with thrash metal. |
Not to derail this, because I've been reading this back and forth between two, but...
This is the nu-metal I listened to back in the 2000's, early 2000's I mean. My favorite nu-metal band from that period, some of the best writing as far as nu-metal goes. From the riffs, bass, drumming, singing. It's great stuff. Take a listen. This is the **** I think should have gotten the attention over Linkin Park and their debut album Hybrid Theory. Simon Says was more competent as far as song writing goes. Strong stuff. For the people that listened to Simon Says. They were known for their big choruses. But everything about them was great in my opinion. Listen to that chorus in Dyslexic Smile. Not your typical nu-metal lyrics. I never thought this band wrote in the same way as their peers did. Smarter. And take a guess who their drummer was? Pretty well respected drummer. Maybe you can dig'em, or maybe not. |

Hair/Glam Metal >>>>> Nu Metal and Bad Metalcore bands.

I don't quite understand the logic behind hating a particular music genre that is inspired by creativity for a new sound and style.

A lot of the controversy comes from the simple fact that popular heavy metal bands like Black Sabbath (for example) might sale 1 or 2 million albums. Then comes along a band like Linkin Park that might sell an estimated 60 million.
Its always the music industry. You have to feed the machine. |

If you were in a room full of classic rock musicians, they would all more than likely agree with you Batlord, concerning Motley Crue and AC/DC.
Badlands was one of my favorite heavy metal bands and album coming out of the 80s and into the 90s. I always thought that their sound and style more resembled Led Zeppelin more so than Soundgarden ever did. Especially the single on their opening track High Wire. Just thought to mention... |
I think he was trying to tie in hardcore music to Nu metal I see it now but back in 1995-00 I just didn't see it
I was always under the impression korn was influenced by bands like Faith no more Helmet Rage agansit the machine Chilli peppers and Hip hop |
Without reading any of the comments I'll say. I don't see why it's hated other than slightly unoriginal sounding (combining genres with alternative rock with rap/electronic) and that it's a post Gen X thing? You know how the last generation always likes to knock on the new one. Maybe it's a bit selloutish too..
Personally I can see myself listening to Nu Metal just fine. |

The reverse for me. |
I don't really care if people pick on me here over liking nu-metal. Fight the power!

Anyways, what you mentioned are really big artists that get a lot of hate from many music fans. But those are artists specifically. What I mean with a controversial sub genre, I mean one where the fans of the genre it comes from tend to hate on. In this case, Metal fans tend to hate on Nu Metal and bad Metalcore bands a lot. |
I think that people should just appreciate the music for what it is and not get so caught up in the particular genre if it speaks to you and you can enjoy it in the first place.

So the similarity between nu-metal and that kind of hardcore is that both genres are based on bouncy groove riffs and dark melodies but dont have the complexity of actual metal in the riffs or crazy-fast intense drums. |
Quote:
Plus you used a song from 2013 which is neither nu-metal nor represents the primary lifespan of the genre. And id rather have nu-metal 24/7 on TV than the total bull**** that passes for rock music thats airing instead. |

Theres a respective level of complexity for every type of guitar music thats just enough and guarantees that the song isnt boring at the very least. |
There's a few modern alternative bands out that I don't mind listening to.
Avatar has a unique stage presentation. Bloody Angel is their more mainstream single. Then there is Smells Like A Freakshow, which is mainstream friendly. My personal favorite is Torn Apart, especially the glitched video effects. Their music defines simplicity in a big way, if you listen to them you'll see what I mean. |
