Choose your ultimate lineup!

Ilk go to see SOAD twice.

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.
If I should ever find myself with tickets for them I'll remember you, Macaroni Ninja.
- You are a true gentleman/gentlewoman/gentleperson! Much obliged!
Damn it. You beat me to posting this. Seen em in concert like 20ish years ago, too. They were fantastic.
- I last saw them in 2015 in London and it was one of the best concerts of my life.

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

This and SOAD twice are the only 2 correct answers
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.
It wasnt until I got older that I realised how fucking amazing of a cover it is.
The album that song is on is actually great and one of my favs of that era. I'd make them play the whole album and only that album.

A SOAD + Deftones + AAF concert would fucking slap.

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.
This is like the best actual answer.
Keep aaf then we have a deal
- 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.
Ditch AAF, pocket $10 and have a great concert
- You could buy almost 1/3rd of a numetal t-shirt with that $10!

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.
- Sorry, but my rage is being saved for the machine.
  
  Are you still just a rat in a cage, though?
Going to see Static-X, Sevendust, and Dope next week 🤘🤘🤘
- That's awesome dude! Stuck Mojo and Sevendust was one of the first concerts I went to when I was a teenager lol

No Linkin Park? (before they gave up nu-metal)

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.

The only correct answer is System of a Down followed by System of a Down.

Easy: System of a Down twice

Deftones being below Slipknot should be a crime

SOAD twice.

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.

System of a Down, Static-X, Mushroomhead, and Alien Ant Farm would be one hell of a show

Those bands are rad bro, why you keeping $100?

SOAD, Deftones, and use the $10 left to cover half of a beer.

I'll take Static-X if they're using a hologram of Wayne

The surviving members have actually been touring with Edsel Dope (from Dope) as their vocalist under the stage name “Xer0”
- And honestly, he's honouring Wayne's memory, he's perfect for the band and does it justice.

System and Deftones, and a packet of roasted peanuts? Okay, sounds good

All the others can kick rocks though

SOAD and keep the other $50

I'd pick Drowning Pool just to bring the lead singer back to life.

$20 for necromancy is a cheap price indeed

one system one korn plz

I got to see Korn in early 2020 right before covid really hit. It was a dream come true. Only band on that list I wanted to see and hadn't yet, and they did not disappoint

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.

Saw Mudvayne last year with Coal Chamber, GWAR, Nonpoint, and Butcher Babies and they fucking killed it for like 90 minutes straight.
- Um, good for you?
This guy fucks.... nu-metal?
Alien Ant Farm is still doing something but they're so-so. One hit wonder.

Come on man. Movies is pretty good.

If only concerts tickets were really this cheap. I saw TOOL not too long ago and it was ~$500 for two mediocre tickets.

Idk if I'm old, or poor, or both

But if I had $500 for a concert - I would just buy $400 in audio equipment, and a $100 in drugs and call it a night in.
- Concerts are just such a great experience though. Especially TOOL concerts.
Looks like you're the TOOL, amiright ?
WTF, I payed 50 in SD, and they played with Primus (also some weird NIN knockoff).
Dear Christ. I don't see a lot of big-time acts, but I remember seeing P-Funk in the 90s and it cost like $20.
I saw System of a Down 19 years ago and it was still more than the $50 on this list

Shouldn't our budget be $150? There are some sacrifices I'm not willing to make!

As in getting soad 3 times /jk

This would be fuckin rad.

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

Im a normie so disturbed and i keep the rest.

I've paid £50 to see Korn this year. Tickets are now going for £200.

I saw them for free once because my job gave me tickets and they were good. It was a fun time. 🤷‍♀️
- I paid £50 last year to watch Limp Bizkit at the same venue.
  
  Long and short of it is that I used to get beaten up because of my music choices and style of dress in this town, in Yorkshire, in the UK.
  
  Not far away Sophie Lancaster got beaten to death from the same thing.
  
  Now I'm seeing sold out shows for the bands I was beaten for listening to, in my hometown.
  
  So yeah I'm going, and I'm gonna be going mental in that moshpit.

I'd take system of a down and parking.

Unpopular opinion but... no Soulfly?

Or Sevendust, I'd still wanna see undead Wanye Static growling on stage.

20 bucks to revive Wayne Static is a steal ngl

Soad, Deftones, Allen ant farm. Done. let's go I have a boner already

My first concert was Papa Roach. Put me off numetal entirely.

Bully memes are cool now

Deftones and have $60 left over to book local bands.

SOAD, Mudvayne and Static-X

Imagine a show where all 3 bands play new material, Static-X has already released some new stuff but SOAD (excluding those two single in 2020) and Mudvayane have yet to do so

It'd be an amazing show for all I know!

SOAD and Disturbed, sorry Korn and Slipknot

I'm splitting the money evenly with AAF.

Ill Niño 5 times and then Disturbed

One Nation Underground is far and away my favorite nu-metal album of all time.

System, Deftones, and Il Nino, perfection.

Crazy Town is even on the list? Suga, bebeh.

SOAD, Deftones, and AAF - as long as I can pick the setlist. In reverse order would be a phenomenal line up too.

SOAD, Deftones, and AAF I guess

but yeah, I'd keep the money because I don't like concerts very much

I sent my $100 to Happy Dude. I feel a little happier.

Well hold on. About a week later I sent 1 dollar to Sorry Dude. So it may not be over yet.

My answers to this question depends entirely on one question.

Do I also get to pick the setlists?

Wtf, a nu-metal meme that doesn't include LP?

To answer the question though; crazytown 10 times.

Downing Pool is a tricky choice.

Nothing like their first album, when they had Dave Williams.

Yeah, Dave Stage made that band what it was.

I didn't get the chance to meet him, but when I was active in the metal community I heard nothing but good things. I guess I should say Drowning Pool was a local band before they blew up.

100 Gecs or bust

Seen them twice now and can honestly say you're missing nothing listening to them at home
- Did you see them with Machin Girl?

Lineups from 1997

I’ll take Static and AAF and pocket the other $70. Have a good day.

Yeah... I'll pass.

Korn, mudwayne, static-x

SOAD, limp bizkit (they put on a KILLER show), alien ant farm

nu-metal? what are you, a college student?

Crazy Town is nu metal?!

This show is going to be a huge hit with line cook babydaddies.

Got the top row at Big Day Out here in NZ circa... 2004 or 2005 I think it was? Was pretty neat but the accoustics was so bad could barely hear anything.

I've seen Slipknot a few times already so let's get SOAD in,

Ill Nino and Alien Ant Farm (gonna have to listen to ill Nino tomorrow I loved them as a kid lol)

Two beers (or mudvayne if I have to pick a band.)

deftones, a t-shirt and some beer

I barely know anything about Static-X other than the music video for Pushit, but that's one rad picture there.

Nah they're from the NFS Underground soundtrack

None of those are my cup of tea because metal in general is not my cup of tea. However, based on the handful of metal shows I've seen, they're still probably worth watching for the spectacle no matter how bad the music is.

Out of these, Papa Roach is by far the best one, I think. The rest is more or less a matter of which songs they play, I only like a few each. And some, I've never heard of.
