Nu Metal didn't start with KORN...

Suicidal tendencies had a lot of influence on the nu metal and also the hardcore punk scene

Bro, I can't believe you didn't mention the judgment night soundtrack 😮

Literally just at the right time, I was just thinking to myself, “I wonder what music documentary I should listen to while at work”

Deftones doing a cover of Helmet's "Sinatra" from Strap it On is enough proof that the album did influence one of the pillar bands of nu metal. The drop tuned stacatto riffs from Meantime were also a huge influence!

The "guy" wearing the Slayer shirt in the video was Rick Rubin

JUDGEMENT NIGHT SOUNDTRACK!!!

Biohazards urban discipline also was monumental to the influence of nu metal. No doubt for sure Mr Bungle was a huge catalyst for some of those earlier bands, even korn and slipknot mentioned them being some of the biggest influence

Excellent Nu Metal video again. Surprised no Pantera and Sepultura were mentioned. I know Sepultura took influence from Korn to do the Roots album. But Chaos AD, also had a part to play in leading up to Nu Metal. And Pantera's groove is also an influence into the groove style riffs in Nu Metal.Can't wait to see some follow up Nu Metal Videos. Maybe even focusing on the newer bands coming out now incorporating Nu Metal influences.

The Urban Dance Squad definitely deserve a mention - late 80s band from Holland who fused live distorted guitars, rapping & turntablism.... tracks like Fastlane with cameos from Flea/Rollins in the video....who also heavily influenced tom morello to start RATM. Judgement Night OST should be in this video as it influenced the NuMetal scene. I also think Living Colour need to get some credit for forging the way into NuMetal...... they were basically doing NuMetal before Korn, both albums Vivid & Times Up have elements of NuMetal - but Stain is when they really went to town..... but sadly never get credit for how groundbreaking they were/are.

Great vid like always, but you can't be talking about rap and metal/rock fusion without mentioning Biohazard, especially their seminal 1992 record Urban Discipline. The way they brought everything together had never been done so seemlessly before. Also, the sountrack for Judgement Night from 1993 featuring all rock/hip hop collabs, most notably Just Another Victim with Helmet and House of Pain and Judgement Night with Onyx and Biohazard, definately deserves a mention.

In a sense you're right; RATM's first 1991 album wasn't commercially released but self released, luckily only chronology matters to me and not commerciality so RATM did it first... period.

Love Body Count thank you for shouting them out!!

Seems that nu metal is making a comeback the second or third time around.

Godflesh influenced a lot of the nu metal sounds .

People be sleeping on Body Count still to this day.

What a great documentary! Born in 1986, I was 12 when mu parents bought me Follow the Leader on tape. Proud to say that besides Run DMC & Public Enemy, I have the 99% of the records you pointed out in my collection.

Helmet was so influential. Are you kidding me? Great video though!

Public enemy with slayer, song called channel zero, cool song

The first Korn song I heard was "Shoots and Ladders", which I thought was brilliant!

Without Faith No More, Mike Patton in general really, we wouldn't have nu metal or a few of these bands.
