This should make for an interesting debate.
Korn is often credited as the band that pioneered nu-metal with their self-titled album in 1994. But considering the fact that their self-titled album was really more of a punk/hardcore-influenced hip hop record than a metal record, would you necessarily agree with this? [...]
Is NuMetal not a punk/hardcore/metal hip hop crossover style? Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Papa Roach...all the same shit.
On the other side...Faith No More were playing indeed that style a long time before. Whereas the grunge has IMO a really big influence in NuMetal. It's like mixing FNM with Grunge and you get the worst sound ever called metal...
you seriously don't know what you mean when you say "hardcore punk influence" do you dude? Please proceed to the nearest meat grinder and hurl yourself into it. If Korn had the slightest hint of Crog Mag like speed or Merauder like intensity then you could say they were hardcore influenced but no. All we have are "TWISTED TRANSISTOR" and those abhorrently down tuned guitars. They sound more like bees buzzing then any kind of music
The same goes for Limp Bizkit Unquestionable Truth Part 1.
