I nominate Nickelback- I gueas it's called Rock Star? Trapt- Headstrong, Papa Roach- Cut My Life into pieces, Disturbed- oooahhhohhhahhh, Def Leppard. Been listening to a lot of bad radio at work.
lmfao
On Through the Night was a fairly cool Def Leppard album. Of course they were all high schoolers and hadn't sold out yet. The name drop reminds me of the classic what has 9 arms and sucks?
GD. That all sucks pretty hard. One of the worst ever, and sorry to any of you now old fucking new wavers. My roommate for a while had this haircut, it just wasn't bleached.
This thread makes me feel like I need to take a bath.
I recommend you all look into Unkle Adams. He gained a following as being extremely corny but there has been so much revealed since. He quit his job to pursue this awful music full time and is currently in near $300k in debt because he keeps buying studio time. He does dumb shit like buy TVs on Best Buy gift cards, sell them for a lot less cash, just to buy studio time. The lore around this man is incredible and he also makes some of the worst and bland rap music I have ever heard.
small update: He somehow landed a collab with Dorian Electra then posted a gif of his face on Lil Baby's body and some people called blackface, he deleted it, apologized, then went back on his apology and said he "doesn't see color". Dorian deleted the collab three days after release.

lol first time I heard this was in line for Slayer, some random just yelled it out, big hit, lots of laughs and hearty SLAYYYYYYERRRRS
Yeah. Rock Brigade and Wasted were cool, but we were in like 11th Grade. I don’t know the last time I’ve heard either but probably around then. Edit yeah it’s now pretty simplistic for most of the hard rock and 70’s Metal we listened to then.
I still like Def Leppard. I know that they're not cool - Joe Elliott wears a Def Leppard tee on stage for Christ's sake - but they have catchy songs and fit neatly in my nostalgia basket.

it's here!
"I've been listening to a ton of late 90's and early 00's hard rock and nü-metal the past few months (mostly on SiriusXM Turbo), and I've noticed a little something I'd like to call the Limp Bizkit Line, between the haves and have nots. There's a clear demarcation between the bands who were pushing the genre forward, creating interesting music with great instrumentals and unique songwriting, and those just putting out uninspired, pandering, boring fucking tracks. The following list of artists is in approximate but nonspecific order of quality:
Tool, System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails, Incubus, Deftones, Rob/White Zombie, Mudvayne, Slipknot, early KoRn, Linkin Park
-----The Limp Bizkit Line-----
Marilyn Manson, Disturbed, Chevelle, Static-X, Godsmack, later KoRn, Three Days Grace, Staind, Puddle of Mudd, Seether, Shinedown, Metallica, Sevendust
What do y'all think? Anybody I'm forgetting? Wanna tell me how fucking wrong I am?"
I don't know that they belong in that particular pool of artists one way or another. But I'm mostly arguing to argue today.
imo at that point in their career, they were just chasing trends
Yeah but in the late 80s early 90s they defined garage metal. Regardless of the trash they put out after the Black album (arguable starting with the Black album), they don't belong with those shitty other bands.

WTF are you doing with Manson and - much more importantly- METALLICA on that side of the line?
Metallica is in there for their late 90s and early 00s output.
Metallica late 90s/early 00s apologia:
Load (1996) and Reload (1997) are objectively not their finest albums to put it mildly, but I do appreciate they were trying to do something different, trying to break away from the fantastical elements of 1980s heavy metal and move in a more hard rock direction. Did it work? Not for most of the songs, but it resulted in some certified Metallica bangers, like King Nothing and Fuel.
They then did a live album with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra which is fantastic. Maybe doing metal with a symphony feels a little fake-progressivey now but it was still a bold move and worked way better than it should have. Around that time you also have Garage, Inc., a wide ranging collection of newly recorded covers that is pretty damn good (and i'm listening to as I type this).
St. Anger, however, fits your definition of uninspired trend surfing. It's been a while since I've listened to it but I think it sounded like a Staind record. Perhaps to Metallica's credit they took a long break from studio albums after this (also I think Hetfield went to rehab maybe). Then it's beyond late 90s/early 00s but Death Magnetic was, IMO a stunning return to form, and Hardwired which followed 8 years later is their best album since s/t.
Outside of studio recordings, during the 00s and beyond they became one of the best current live performing bands. They always have a great setlist and absolutely bring it for the fans. They found a way to make massive tours work for their fans and for their business machine. Tickets are about as expensive as you can get for one band but goddamn is it worth it, and they always look like they are having a blast up there.
anyway not that metallica needed more defending in this thread but i thought i'd offer my two cents. good discussion topic, thanks for bringing it up.

they put out S&M part 2 earlier this year which is a worth follow up to the first one, I think.
Just heard Turn Me On Mr Deadman for the first time in ages, and hearing the word f****t thrown around like that gave me whiplash. I forgot how casual homophobia has only gone out of style in media way too recently
