@imnotabr What are you, some kind of pussy? And all the faggots that thumbed up your comment. WHen I listen to this song I imagine a boy, a good soul, but in with the bad crowd, life got fucked up, then one day he couldn't take no more, then boom he fucking smashes the fuck out of anyone who gets in his path and annihilates all his past enemies.
@MemetronDaBboy That's pretty much the phase I am in now. After listening to Shitstorm, i was like... "Now You'll fuckin' listen to me", and I was like Hell yeah... let's turn around the things from today on. And how I kicked some peoples asses. Like my best friend who stole my girlfriend. Afterwards, i kicked the shit outta him, and called my girlfriend a filthy whore and bitch serveral times. After that, I felt amazing. Finally could start a better life. Thanks SYL and Devin!!
you make it sound like my comment was a bad one. did you even read it i was sayin korn should have sounded more like this. I honestly dont see whats wrong with that. this song is kickass.
@tigersennin no I agree they're just SO gay I was surprised to see a comment mentioning Korn in an SYL vid....that's all. they've never even been close to being in the same league, ya know?
look, the only reason i replied to your comment at all was because i absolutely hate the term "rap metal", not out of elitism (a band not being metal doesn't mean i dislike it), but because rap metal doesn't exist (if it does, there's hardly any of it) and I wish that it did
@dreed1000. First off im not trying to diss anyone.
When Korn came out and incorporated small bits of rap into their songs, the term Numetal came with it. Basically Numetal was metal mixed with a bit of rap, but the rap parts were really metalic and gruff.
Stuff like Street Sweeper Social Club would be called "Rap metal" Simply because of the rap styled lyrics and the sweet riffs.
not you too, please not trying to be an elitist or genre nazi, or piss anyone off, but Nu Metal is not metal, its just a name people gave to it without understanding the connotations attached to it, just like groove metal is sometimes called neo- or post-thrash, but you seriously don't think that Pantera is thrash do you? Bands like Korn and RATM (though I do enjoy RATM) do not know the first thing about metal. Sorry if this angered anyone.
dude you seriously need to learn about metal yourself korn and ratm are metal. saying they aren't is like saying the belladonna era of anthrax was punk. Who are you to try and demean any band in that way. Let me guess your just some loser who never fit in so you decided instead of doing something about it you picked up metal. I listen to metal because i genuinely enjoy it. Do us all a favor and kill yourself. Oh and finally PanterA was indeed thrash metal
Look I'm sorry, I wasn't demeaning them (I actually like RATM) I was trying to say that they aren't metal bands, which isn't an insult. Not to piss you off, but its kinda funny being lectured about metal by some one who thinks Pantera is thrash, if you want to know what thrash is, listen to "Storming With Menace" by Kreator
dude listen to cowboys from hell vulgar display of power and reinventing the steel. PanterA were the forefront of the thrash metal movement they helped create thrash metal. and kreator is thrash metal but its more of the new wave thrash metal. and korn is metal but it is in a sub genre of metal. numetalis not really numetal its a mix between math metal and industrial metal and post metal which is the part where korn and ratm fit in. Metal is more than harsh lyrics and screeching guitars.
Look, I realize that I'm not going to be able to dissuade you from thinking of Pantera as thrash metal or thinking of Korn and RATM as metal, but I could not ignore the blatant misconception in your reply. You say Pantera helped to create thrash, and that Kreator was part of the new wave of thrash? Dude, Pantera released Cowboys from Hell in 1990, before that they were a glam band. Do you know when Kreator released their first thrash CD? 1985, get your facts straight dude.
@archangelfalling Are you serious!! Pantera helpred create Thrash metal? Dave Mustaine w/ Metallica in like 81 then he had Megadeth the two biggest thrash bands around except for maybe Slayer. Your like 10 years off dude. And yes don't forget about the European thrash as stated before listen to Kreator.
@archangelfalling wow you honestly think pantera had anything at all to do with the creation of thrash no not in the least genius metallica came out with kill em all in 83 that was the start of it not 90 dumbass oh and by the way pantera IS NOT thrash its just heavy metal nothing speacial no sub-genre bullshit just heavy metal do your research first next time
@archangelfalling Dude, do your research! Thrash was at its peak in the mid-80s when Pantera were a glam-metal band. They switch to groove-metal around 1990 and stayed there. They've never been a thrash band. You know shit all about what metal is
@umbilicaltapeworm I suppose it depends on what your view of thrash is really - for me thrash is bands like Kreator and stuff like that, so the only songs Pantera really did that I'd class as particularly thrashy would be Heresy and Fucking Hostile
@FormerlyMrBean667 it would not matter if it did, Devey is so badass, he would have reinvented it to sound so good that even hip hop guys would want him to show them how to do it. Devey redefines awesome
This song fucking owns! It´ s a kinda weird tune like most strapping tunes, but no matter how i try to find some suckiness in it i can´ t! So fucking frantic! Could be fun to plug all the jacks out to an Oasis show and play this song on cd and tune the volume up!:P
