Kids Party - "Nu-Metal" recommendations needed

Bard

I'm doing a kids party in the function room of our community centre this coming Saturday... it's for a bunch of 12 - 14 year old's who are into the likes of SUM41, Korn, Papa Roach, Limp Bizkit, etc. ... all that shite... and I don't have much of it, tbh...

Can anyone recommend me some good tracks to get hold of?... or possibly a good compilation album with a mix of popular stuff in this genre. It'll only be a 2 hour set for the kids party... might be following it up with a party for the "older" folk afterwards.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Get them some leonard cohen, then they will know what its really like to be depressed

there are some kerrang compilation albums doing the rounds at the moment. that should keep em wallowing in self pity(why didnt you get me that car for my 16th birthday daddy? you dont love me. ****in rich kids).

Bard

Well y'see... I don't know these bands all that well... what would be the more popular tracks these days from the likes of...

Sum 41, Korn, Papa Roach, Limp Bizkit, Nickelback, Godsmack, (and others of their 'ilk' )

Dont be at yourself

Try these:

Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff
Limp Bizkit - Rollin'
Linkin Park - One Step Closer
Linkin Park - Crawling
Linkin Park - Points Of Authority
Korn - Freak On A Leash
Papa Roach - Last Resort
Papa Roach - Dead Cell
Papa Roach - She Loves Me Not
Lost Prophets - The Fake Sound Of Progress
Sum 41 - In Too Deep
Sum 41 - Fat Lip
Sum 41 - Motivation
A - Nothing
Nickelback - Too Bad
Nickelback - How You Remind Me
Puddle Of Mudd - Control

I pity you for having to listen to all them though

That's most of the bigger songs, I think.

britney - i love rock and roll.
thats new metal aswell!

Karl Hungus

Mayhem - I Am Thy Labyrinthe

Ok, probably not... But it would be worth it to see the look on the kids' faces!

I dont know much other nu-metal than what's already been suggested. But you could try some of the 'punk' bands that are doing the rounds these days, like The Offspring, Blink182, and those. Queens Of The Stone Age would go down pretty well, as would Wheezer. 'Feel Good Hit Of The Summer' and 'Hash Pipe' respectively.

just see what kind of vaguely rock crap is in the charts these days.
anything vaguely angsty will do really, you tell them its cool, and they'll think its cool, heh

Sum 41, Linkin park and limp bizkit seem too be the favour.

I kinda like Godsmack myself (awaits a smack across the head) I dunno, theres just something catchy about them.

Anyhoo... don't forget the popular old Nirvana stuff. Thats all these kids idolise, "I hate myself and want to die" kinda crap. Er... I cant really think of anything else, Bowling For Soup? They sound quite punky aswell.

Correction there... most of these kids aren't even 16. The majority of them are only around 12 or 13.

stop being pedantic. i was simply poking fun at the "angst" that these nu-metal kiddies feel the need to express by listening to crap metal, wearing black baggy tops and generally being self absorbed twats.

Bard

Thanks for the suggestions boyos...

appreciate it !


(and yeah... thank the gods I'm getting paid to play and listen to this... 'music' )

Pugsley

Play 'Dark Tranquility - Nether Novas', and have an mg42 outside eachdoor, anyone who walks out on this song deserves to be shot
(and most of them will - so its pest control )

Try some Guano Apes, their nu-metally (i like em tho)

Aye... tis true!

Having said what I said in the last post, most 16 year old nu-metallers (yes there are a few) do probably say things like that.

Pffft Weezer are too cool to be played for kids
As allready mentioned play Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Korn, Nickelback, etc. But to bring them down would you play Nada Surf - Troublemaker, i love that feel bad and sad about yourself song

Oh the irony of it....these kids will say the same thing in about 10yrs time, probably to their own kids!

Karl Hungus

Lads, keep it on topic.

If you can't be helpfull to a request, you've no business replying just to spout off.

/|/)etal)-|ead

just play loads of viking metal, I hear that's what the kids are into nowadays. (teehee...)

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

maybe some avril lavigne, but I'm not sure if that will go down well

I'd wager alot of the kids will profess to hate her, just to look cool and "Metal"


i know that's what I do

Bard

At the end of the day, what got them bopping was a healthy (or unhealthy... you decide!) mix of...

Papa Roach
Avril Lavigne
Nickelback
Christina Milan
Metallica
Rage Against The Machine
The Dandy Warhols
The Proclaimers
Michael Jackson
Gina G
Limp Bizkit
Cheeky Girls
Eve & Gwen Stefani
Rednex
Elvis
Paul Oakenfold
Nelly
Puff Daddy
The Weather Girls
Pink
Scooter
Shakira
Eminem
Big Bruvas
Jennifer Lopez
Will Smith
Red Hot Chilli Peppers

...and quite a bit more (cant remember them all)

...

not in that order (!)

some of it was bloody awful (but it was what they asked for so... hey...)

Pugsley

A decent list for these kids, but I dont think metallica should be there (no mainstream kiddies listen to em now'a'days) and their the only band there I'd be caught dead listening to

Lorax

shakira, pink? thats stretching the phrase 'nu metal' a bit too much :P

as I said... they requested it.

escapeing death

this is just a tad bit off topic u complain about these 16 and 12 year olds listening to new metal when i know many many people in there 20's who listen to it so age means nothing.and while most is angsty ****e sum is ok incubus and the deftones being my choice.oh an djust to say im a 15year old whos mostly into grunge like mudhoney and sonic youth screaming trees etc.some metal like apc the deftones sikth and some electronicia like aphex tiwn chequerboard and squarepusher and can also keep up wiht my older heavier tastes like rakoth in flames and at the gates.the kids these day arn't all bad u kno;) :rolleyes:

OLDYELLAR

theres an album called supercharged an i think it might be good for what you want , might be worth givin a look at sonny.

D-Generate

I am 16 and in to Sonic Youth(Thurston Moore), The Cooper Temple Clause, The Pixies, Nada Surf and also a fair bit in to stuff like New Order, Leftfield, Aphex Twin. There are plenty of us around the place just we are not the ones with the sleeves rolled up showing off scars.
