They were the progenitor to it, like how they say that Rage Against The Machine and House Of Pain were progenitors to nu-metal.

@ILoveMyoozik  
Which, Van Halen or Mötley Crüe?

@TheHappySpaceman  
Both i’d say, moreso Halen.

@ILoveMyoozik  
Yeah, moreso Van Halen. I’d also say that Kiss and New York Dolls had a heavy influence on the hair metal scene, albeit more with the way they dress than the way they sound.

@ILoveMyoozik  
NiN and Faith No More could also be argued to be the progenitors of Numetal

@Broken Adam  
Faith No More, perhaps, though they were funk metal with some rapping. But NIN? They were industrial metal. I don’t hear any hip hop or rap elements in their sound.
 
If anything, Rage Against the Machine was more of a progenitor to nu metal.

@TheHappySpaceman  
But you can’t deny, going from Live Wire to “GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS” Was a clear case of them changing their style

@Broken Adam  
Eh, it wasn’t as sudden as that. “Live Wire” was 1981. “Girls, Girls, Girls” was ’87. Already by their second album, Shout at the Devil, which still was very similar to their first–albeit with more influences from the NWOBHM scene than from punk–they were doing songs like “Looks That Kill” and “Ten Seconds to Love.” So it was gradual, and the elements were already there from the beginning.

@Broken Adam  
Faith No More you can make the argument, but no for Nine Inch Nails cause like what Spaceman said, they’re industrial metal which had NO effect on nu-metal.

@TheHappySpaceman  
A large percentage of “Numetal” bands used Industrial in their music

@ILoveMyoozik  
Would you consider Static-X to be more industrial metal or nu metal? Wikipedia classes them as nu metal, but I heard a lot more NIN influence in their sound.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Don’t know, I should listen to a song from them to say.
 
Edit: I listened to a few songs and I say nu-metal

@ILoveMyoozik  
Linkin Park Korn Limp Bizkit and Slipknot were all industrial influenced though

@Broken Adam  
Not those, but others like Static-X were. Those you mentioned have always been more heavy and alternative based than industrial.

@ILoveMyoozik  
This is the only song of theirs that I know.
 
@Broken Adam  
Is Linkin Park considered nu metal?

@TheHappySpaceman  
They’re more alternative metal like what System Of A Down is.

@ILoveMyoozik  
They weren’t full out Industrial Rock like Manson and Rob Zombie but they have elements of it, and I never said NiN was Numetal either, just that they helped create it
 
 
@TheHappySpaceman
 
@ILoveMyoozik  
Numetal was a term used to refer to Alternative Metal bands and nobody ever really defined it so we have a mess of a genre that barely makes sense, for fucks sake Nickelback was called Numetal at one point for some reason
 
Its like how Post Grunge is used to describe Breaking Benjamin despite that BB is more inspirer by Tool than Grunge.

@Broken Adam  
You’re forgetting that Breaking Benjamin is both hard rock and post-grunge so they can really be both as opposed to just one.

America, stop making G-Eazy a thing, he sucks!

A Bullet For My Valentine or My Bloody Valentine My Chemical Romance

Okay, I’m convinced: Scotti Hill and Dave “The Snake” Sabo may just be two of the most underrated guitarists of all time.

Congratulations to Selena Gomez for her first ever number one with “Lose You To Love Me”. Her previous biggest hits were “Good For You” featuring A$AP Rocky and “Same Old Love”, where both peaked at #5 back in 2015.

@Broken Adam  
Little Dark Age?

@TheHappySpaceman  
Yeah
