I was never really into Ozzy either. I bought the No More Tears Album and that was kinda it for me.
 
I only heard some on Sirius. A guy in work bought and likes it. By the way I love Motorhead! There I said it...
 
I don’t know, I’m an a Ozzy fan, but with these last 2 albums I think it’s an emperor has no clothes situation. Yea, he has some great guitarists on this album, but the overall songs kind of suck, and too bad the mix and production is absolutely terrible. It’s like this Andrew Watt guy found a way to make the guitars thinner yet muddy at the same time. I liked the song with Clapton, he sounded great, but it was more or less Clapton being Clapton over a generic backing track. The songs with Iommi are ok, only because they kept the guitar away from Andrew Watt. This Watt guy plays rhythm and writes riffs for Ozzy now? A thousand amazing metal guitarists in the industry right now and he gets this guy? Can’t wait for the 3rd album.

I put Ozzy in the same category as Metallica, do some live shows but stop with the albums, although one could argue Metallica are a new drummer away from possibly being good again. Ozzy is a hopeless cause since Sharon is calling all the shots, he just shows up where she tells him.

Oh damn. If we're on that tip, the new Limp Bizkit album is amazing.

Motörhead and limp biscuit shouldn’t be mentioned in the same sentence.
 
Not really "metal" in the sense of a lot of the bands in this thread, but I went to Porcupine Tree in Boston this past Wednesday. They were incredible. Nate Navarro of YouTube fame is playing bass on this tour and Gavin Harrison remains one of the great rock drummers. 10/10.

Because of how good Limp Bizkit is compared to Motorhead?

I’m no die-hard Motörhead fanboy by any stretch, but Lemmy could actually write songs, and they still have millions of fans, including new ones. Then there’s Limp Biscuit, more or less forgotten.

And you can’t compare Motörhead to any of the newer metal bands out there. Sure, they have some amazing guitarists, but they all sound the same. Blazing arpeggios and amazing guitar-work, no denying that, but they will be forgotten because no songs or melodies.

I assure you Limp Bizkit is far from forgotten… they released a new album last year and still sell out shows. The guitarist, Wes Borland, is one of the most creative musicians of my generation. They basically created their own genre, and the first album Three Dollar Bill is metal as fuck. Mad respect for Lemmy and Motörhead, but it’s just generic speed metal.

They stepped into a genre created by Korn in the early 90’s and added a twist by doing a light, light version of what hardcore bands started doing in the late 80’s, and just about every metal band that experimented with the rap thing. Wes Borland was attempting to do what Tom Morello (and The Edge before him) was doing, but Tom Morello is an actual musician and can really play. Music is subjective, just my opinion having lived through the dark ages of grunge and nu metal.

Tom Morello is god. The Edge is a douche. Korn and Limp Bizkit came on the scene the same year. Pretty similar music. Korn was darker, but Bizkit had a lot more musicality.

I remember when Korn’s first album came out, it predated bizkit’s by like 3 or 4 years. It was on heavy rotation on WSOU. Bizkit also took a lot of its style from Snot, another band that did come up with them but their lead singer died in a car crash so it was bizkits to own going forward.
 
I'll put in for the record that Korn and Limp Bizkit are 2 completely different bands. Jonathan Davis did zero rap/rock, no DJ, for all intents and purposes, they are not even a Nu Metal Band.

Dude Snot was awesome. Such a shame.

Snot were one of the few bands in that genre that I liked, they were onto something, it sucks that Lynn Strait got killed in a random wreck.

For better or worse, Korn invented the genre that got coined Nu-Metal. They may not have used samples, but zero rap influence?!? how can you not hear the hip-hop influence? Go listen to Chi.

BTW, not really a Korn fan, but one of the best live shows I've ever seen (Prince being the best live show I ever saw), with Pantera a close second to Prince.
