Whilst Slipknot took the aggression and depravity of metal to new heights other bands would exonerate the sensitivity and emotiveness that had been starkly missing from metal for the past three decades. Slipknot turned metal into performance art, performing truly fucked up acts on stage, including Shawn’ Clown’ Crahan keeping a dead crow in a jar, so he could huff it and vomit on demand whilst performing, just as a quick example. Slipknot truly transcended the ridiculousness of the eras of metal gone by, with its mantra of ‘play guitar solos, drink beer and chase women’ sent rightfully down the chute. The nine members of the band all wore masks representing their individual inner personalities, went simply by the name of ‘number one, number two, etc.’, wore anonymous orange prisoner jackets, and created some of the most aggressive music to burst someone’s ear drums. I think that was one of the things that became dislikeable about us”.Ī year after Limp Bizkit formed, nu-metal was about to find its most artistic and darkest expression in the form of Slipknot. But we just didn’t give a fuck, and we always tried to say that fairly blatantly. We weren’t quite hip hop we weren’t quite metal. As Fred Durst once said: “We were the black sheep – or the white sheep. Nevertheless, Limp Bizkit’s aggressive attitude set them apart from their contemporaries, drawing from both influential genres and adopting a “fuck you” attitude. This contrasted with guitarist Wes Borland’s elaborate physical appearance, with him regularly dressing up in creepy-looking body paint, masks, and latex uniforms. DJ Lethal had initially found fame in the hip-hop trio House of Pain, and his addition to the band further showed hip-hop’s influence on the new genre of metal that had started to make waves in America by then.ĭurst’s appearance was essentially that of a rapper, with a trademark New Era cap persistently worn atop his head. It was brought together by “just another motherfucker from Jacksonville” Fred Durst, who was joined by Sam River, John Otto, Wes Borland and DJ Lethal in creating Limp Bizkit. That funky, groovy shit”.Īnother group from Florida were about to take this point even further in 1994. Yeah, we’re heavy and downtuned, but metal, to me, is like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. However, Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis once said: “I never thought of us to be metal to begin with. The real and fictional horror that characterised ‘nu-metal’ In nu-metal, displays of excessive showmanship were no longer required all that mattered was energy and anger. Korn’s biggest contribution was to lay the extended over-used metal guitar solo in its welcome grave. Korn took the familiarity of metal and twisted it around until it resembled something new heavily detuned guitars, a strange and almost creepy aesthetic appearance and lyrics that explored previously unspoken-of themes of childhood abuse, insecurity and depraved sexuality hitherto. They were comprised of Jonathan Davis, James ‘Munky’ Shaffer, Reginald ‘Fieldy’ Arvizu, Brian ‘Head’ Welch and David Silveria. In 1993, in Bakersfield, California, a new metal band was formed by the name of Korn. Fortunately, come the early 1990s, that new form of metal was just around the corner.
