Exactly.
I would rather have Pantera bloke looking annoyed and screaming about respect and strength than a 30yr old record exec millionaire rapping about "my generation".
A big dance-off, but with more testosterone and pointing would rock.
Like the MJ "Bad" video, but better.

On one side:
Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach etc bleating about "Life is hard/Parents hate you/School is mean".

On the other side?
Pantera, Biohazard, Henry Rollins shouting about "Getting yours/payback/destroy with words"

Posing, baggy-shorts wearing nancy-boy gimp bands Vs Bald, tattooed, angry men with stubble and tattoos.

Anyone that thinks Limp Bizkit are "rock" and "aggresive music to clean your bedroom to", do me a favour and go and buy "A Vulgar Display of Power" by Pantera.
Christ, even the song titles ooze hardness.

Mouth for War
Walk
New Level
Rise
F****ng Hostile
By Demons be Driven

Pantera would yank Fred Durst's pants down and spank his little pink bottom with a spiky slipper any day of the week.
Stop wearing big shorts and hoodies, sulking in your bedroom because your mum says it's too dark to play outside.

Instead, welcome Pantera/Biohazard/Prong/Pro-Pain into your life and discover what truly shouty man-metal is about.

Failing that, buy the t-shirt and shorts and "jump around".

You speak wise-words sir.
Let us compare and contrast nu-metal with old-school, shouty anger metal.
--------

Papa Roach - "Last Resort"

Sample lyrics:
"Cause Iím losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me Iím fine
Nothingís alright, nothing is fine
Iím running and Iím crying"

Video: Band playing in a room, lots of sulky teens in their bedroom in their parents nice big suburban homes with posters on the walls

Album Cover: A Roach.
Album title: Infest

-----

Limp Bizkit - "My Generation"

Sample Lyrics:
"Do you know where you are
Welcome to the jungle punk take a look around
It's Limp Bizkit f****' up your town
We downloaded the shockwave
For all of the ladies in the cave to get your groove on"

Video: Durst doing a nice dance with backing dancers behind him dressed like him.

Album Cover: Paintings of fat children
Album Title: Chocolate Starfish & The Hot Dog Flavoured Water
------

Pantera - "Mouth for War"

Sample lyrics:
"Revenge
I'm screaming revenge again
Wrong
I've been wrong for far too long
Been constantly so frustrated
I've moved mountains with less
When I channel my hate to productive
I don't find it hard to impress"

Video: Phil Anselmo stripped to the waist, smashing breeze-blocks with a sledgehammer / Band playing in an aircraft hanger draped in combat-netting.

Album Cover: Photograph of man being punched in the face
Album Title: A Vulgar Display of Power
------

And there you have it.
Nu-Metal is great to clean your room in a huff to.

Long Live Old Metal.

It would be like the Bill Hicks 'Jimmy Hendrix and Debbie Gibson' sketch, only a lot more brutal. Bring a whole new meaning to the typical 'Battle of the Bands' that you get on a Thursday night down your local small venue.

Slipknot may well walk the walk, but I bet they're in their pyjamas by 9pm.

And they sleep with the light on...
