      Can only see them once because Ticketmaster adds another $36 in fees, but this only shows up after you’ve managed to get through the queue and if you think about it too long, you’ll lose your spot.

      Ah shit, sorry, they accidentally sold your tickets on their scalper site for $1244 (plus fees and taxes), but don’t worry, you’ll get a refund.

    I’ll just book AAF for 10 consecutive shows where they’re only allowed to play the smooth criminal cover.

      One AAF concert and the rest is spent on $5 shots for every time he says “Talk to the Chewbacca! Hoo!” in Smooth Criminal.

      I’m kind of fond of some of their other tracks, but it doesn’t matter if I’m knocked out.

      I was looking at it and it’s the only correct answer. Those are the only bands from that era that I go back to for more than just a nostalgia hit.

        There were a few other bands I wouldn’t mind seeing on there, like Slipknot does seem like they put on a good show. StaticX is a band that has a few songs I still listen to.

        But over all I keep looking at those three, and I wouldn’t be willing to trade them for any of the other bands.

      That’s my go to but another great lineup would be Slipknot, Mudvayne, and Static X/Drowning Pool.

        They’re definitely not a band that I actively revisit, but compared to most of the shit on this list they’re better than tolerable.

    I get the joke, but there are so many worse bands that would have been funnier lol I think a lot of people would pay good money to see Slipknot, SOAD and Deftones all in one show! Static X is still really good too!

      It’s a shitpost intended to troll metal fans. But I think most instead got distracted by the question and aren’t paying much attention to the troll itself. The values might be another attempt at inducing rage.

      Sorry, but my rage is being saved for the machine.

    Putting System and Deftones in the list is and always was weird to me. These are also the only ones I listen to so perhaps I’m not exactly objective.

    Honesty, understandable: I partly like about half of those listed… But I prefer listening to recordings at non-deafening volumes while not being surrounded by a hell lot of humans. Sucks to be an introvert, I guess.

      The surviving members have actually been touring with Edsel Dope (from Dope) as their vocalist under the stage name “Xer0”

    Lol, most of these acts have watered down over the years.

    Mudvayne is only happening because Hellyeah is mostly done after Vinnie Paul’s death. Not sure how they’ll be, if they’ll be anything.
    Korn has been sucking.
    Slipknot is a little unstable right now.
    System of a Down isn’t really doing much and Serj Tankian hasn’t been that interested in rejoining the band.
    Deftones is solid.
    Limp Bizkit is a has been, also fuck Fred Durst.
    Disturbed is just okay.
    Papa Roach is so-so.
    Static-X is just a tribute act these days.
    Drowning Pool lost a lot of relevancy.
    Mushroomhead seem to be doing fine.
    Alien Ant Farm is still doing something but they’re so-so. One hit wonder.
    CrazyTown is more or less dead.
    Ill Nino is just up in the air.

    Deftones isn’t a nu-metal band, and I’d arguably say the same about soad who did its own weird thing. I’d also watch those two over anything else
