(I know, it’s acceptable to use it as is done in the title, but the cartoon dude seemed to me the sort of fellow who might have opinions about the Latin roots of words and whatnot.)
Limp bizkit is unironically #1 on my live bands bucket list and I’m probably the most elitist metalhead douchebag on all of lemmy
I just love how us 30 year olds now look at this shitty bands with nostalgia glasses on now, I also notice unanimous respect for Linkin Park and it never used to be like that
I was just hitting middle school when Hybrid Theory came out. My mom wouldn’t let me buy it because of the repeated Shut Up lyrics in One Step Closer, but I loved the album and listened to it with my friends all the time. I didn’t feel like Meteora hit as hard, and I really lost interest after Minutes to Midnight. Listening to them now, I still don’t like much after the first few albums, but I’ve come around a bit to Meteora and honestly, Reanimation might be my favorite of the first three albums.
Reanimation is soooo good. Still have my original copy of Hybrid Theory and it’s great, but the edits on Reanimation just work really well. Meteora is good though their constant experimentation can make some stinkers.
Given the albums you do like, did you listen to The Hunting Party? It’s funny how heavy that album is given the ones it’s between. Really felt like it showed how much they were just making the music they wanted, not what they thought gain traction.
I couldn’t think of a specific song on that album, so I put it on for a listen. I wasn’t familiar with the hardcore/punk style on War and Keys to the Kingdom. Funny enough, I had tickets to see them on this tour because Rise Against was their supporting act, but the tour got cancelled because Chester got sick. The pairing didn’t make too much sense to me at the time, but now it makes more sense, even if it was at a time that Rise Against was losing a lot of their melodic hardcore background with Appeal to Reason. Collapse (Post-Amerika) still hit though.
Linkin Park slaps so hard that even parodies of Linkin Park sound good. I always thought the hate they got was good hearted in a ‘guilty pleasure’ sort of way but then they stayed relevant long enough everyone forgot what they were supposed to be feeling guilty about.
Managed to see Limp Bizkit twice during the late 00’s/early 10’s when they shoved their way onto a festival lineup. Second best band of the weekend! Go if you can!
