Personally i think they're great, especially mick thompson (lead guitar) and the singer Corey taylor who has the most incredible voice i have ever heard of. My fav song are duality vermillion left behind before i forget the nameless wait and bleed And i saved the best for last "Vermillion part 2" which is their softer kind of song.

With the two extra percussionists they sound like me hammering my baseballbat against a trash-can. I highly recommend Stone Sour, the first band of Corey Taylor and Jim Root. The music is better and Corey makes good use of his incredible voice. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Corey's voice is incredible, but I think that's it... I thinks Stone Sour is better, because it puts Corey's voice to a better use, like ZakkWylde said in the earlier post You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

And yea, I do think they have way too many members, 2 drummers is unnecessary, same with turntables, 3 guitars, 3 vocalist, etc, etc, etc. However I don't see anything wrong with nu-metal as a whole genre. My favorite band from the genre, Linkin Park, just mixes some rap elements will rock. I find it humorous how people bash LP then praise RATM. If anything, mixing in some rap elements is just adding new innovations to music, therefore making it progressive. Hell, even Dream Theater has rapcore influenced interludes in some songs, You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
