[Jorge]

In a trap, trip I can't grip

[Jorge]

[Norris]

that was incredible

[Jammer XCI]

The X Games start tonight, now that’s very nu metal.

[Kaius]

the best tournament in rm history was kaius's asoiaf tournament

god damn I love you

[Kevin Davis]

Some terrible results in that last round.

Anyone simply voting for the song that seems "more nu-metal" or whatever is, I submit, doing this wrong.

Agreed

Totally 100% agreed. Also the "I'm voting for this song because it sucks more" populace can go to hell too.

I don't know that I've used either of these exact criteria to vote but there have certainly been more than a few matches where I've wanted for reasons to vote for either song. Usually I've found myself going for the one that annoys me less, however marginally, but sometimes I have been guilty of making up my own arbitrary criteria.

[Jammer XCI]

You also provide some of the best commentary KD, your story about Cowboy had me cracking the fuck up.

[Kevin Davis]

Thanks Jammer -- sometimes I feel like I'm being a curmudgeon in these threads, but I've been enjoying playing along.

[EJ]

Who should win this whole thing? My votes go to:

For a legitimately great nu metal song that holds up unbelievably well: SOAD “Aerials”

For comedic, meme value and uber obnoxiousness that permeated much of this genre: Disturbed “Down With The Sickness”

[LoathedVermin72]

Roots Bloody Roots. It won’t though.

[LoathedVermin72]

The smart money is probably on Toxicity

[Norris]

Spiders

[Kevin Davis]

I think "Chop Suey" and "Aerials" are probably the two strongest songs in the tournament.

[Jammer XCI]

My favorites are all System of a Down and Deftones songs besides Roots Bloody Roots.

[Jammer XCI]

Also nobody said RIP for Chester Hangington yesterday, I like to think he got vengeance by defeating Cowboy.

Gavin Rossdale gave him a tribute during a Bush concert, so it's all good

[Kevin Davis]

Last night I had a dream that the bar up the road from my house was hosting a nu-metal battle of the bands. I told Jordan about it and we went over and watched it together.

[Ello Sailor]

I think my top 5 would be:

1. Minerva
2. Chop Suey
3. Toxicity
4. Be Quiet and Drive
5. Aerials

I enjoy a lot of Incubus, KoRn and Mudvayne tracks but they're just not on the same level as System or Deftones.
