AHHHHHHH! I can't do it. They have broken me. I can't go on. I was using wikipedia as a cheat sheet. Here's what I've missed:
* P.O.D. * Papa Roach * Passenger * Pillar * Pitchshifter * Powerman 5000 * Presence * Pressure 4-5 * Primer 55 * Project 86 * Project Wyze * Pulse Ultra * Pure Rubbish * Puya
* Ra * Red (band) * Reveille * Revis
* Saliva * Scratching Post * Sev * Sevendust * Simon Says (band) * Sinch * Skindred * Skrape * Slaves on Dope * Slipknot * Smile Empty Soul * Snot * Socialburn * Soil * Soulfly * Spineshank * Staind * Stereomud * Stone Sour * Submersed * Switched * Systematic * System of a Down
* Taproot * Three Days Grace * Tommy Lee * Trapt * Trik Turner * Trust Company * Twin Method * Twisted Method
* Ultraspank * The Union Underground * Unloco
* Vex Red * Videodrone
* Wicked Wisdom
i feel like such a failure. kinda apt though. all these songs are about failure and needing and pleading and being broken and damaged and trent. feel free to post your own, um, gems.
i feel so...dirty.

I interviewed the singer of lo-pro on someone else's radio show once. I think they were playing a show with Staind or someone boring like that that night, and their manager wanted to get them on the radio, and the only LA station they could get was USC's student run station that you could barely receive on campus (thank God for online). Anyway, I don't remember anything about the interview. It probably wasn't very interesting.

Never heard of them before this moment, and I'm drunk, but Hed PE's dancehall-metal crossover sounds/sounded a lot more viable than rap-metal or ska-punk.

god, your comments in parentheses are awesome. wish you'd kept going.

Scott, you missed Kittie!
Brackish
On my (then-)bestfriend's birthday in 2000, we went and saw Kittie play at club. Factory 81 and Mudvayne opened.
― C. Grisso/McCain, Friday, 26 October 2007 16:42 (eighteen years ago)
And now that I think about it, I believe Nonpoint was also on that bill. Big evening.
― C. Grisso/McCain, Friday, 26 October 2007 16:45 (eighteen years ago)
Great idea for a thread, but TERRIBLE music! I watched ill nino, coal chamber and incubus. A reminder that there was once something worse than emo!
Holy crap, Chaki.
― Pashmina, Friday, 26 October 2007 17:06 (eighteen years ago)
The singer from kitty is just atrocious. Jesus christ....

I saw Casey Chaos from Amen in a record shop in Glasgow on Monday. He was asking about Lex Records (lol, backpacker).

my era-appropriate (2001) piece on nu-metal videos that i wrote for the village voice:

and i STILL like that boy hits car video!

thanks now i no longer suffer from crippling depression
― trashthumb, Friday, 26 October 2007 19:39 (eighteen years ago)
One of my all time favorite Casey Chaos quotes is this gem:
"I keep entering and exiting my room just in case Chaos theory occurs and hot girl ends up in my bed" - Casey Chaos

Nice shot, man
