Yeah, I still go back to their second and third albums (ANThology and TruANT) from time to time. Their fourth album lost me, though.

TruANT had a better spread of styles, and better hooks.

not a fan of that song, but when I first saw Virgil Texas he reminded me of the usher in that video (or at least the one I saw a few times, didn't know there were 3)

There is this one

Which is the origonal
Then there's this which I think you're talking about
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ2t4jfVTiU
And then there is the unreleased version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHPhh1WswpU

It's a bad song, but I guess they thought it could be a big hit, and didn't want to be a one hit wonder even though their cover is bangin'.

I'm dreading early 2000s nostalgia in a few years when people will get back into Limp Bizkit and other lovely rap metal bands.

I was into them until Chocolate Starfish. The only nu-metal band I still respect is Deftones. Maybe System of a Down, if they’d get back into the studio.

I'm not sure if it had a name, but there was a product sold on TV that would help you achieve this look if you weren't able to get your hair to do it naturally. They were called Bump-Its and I remember them being aggressively advertised during trashy reality shows towards the end of the decade. The ads themselves are peak 2000's content.

Probably never happening, unless they're hard up for money, although I'd think the occasional tour will cover that. Apparently Serj never even liked metal and was kind of just there for his friends, hoping he'd eventually get more creative control, and never did.

That’s a bummer, I really liked the combination of Serj’s vocals and Daron’s guitar, it really stood out in the early ‘00s. Same for Chino and Deftones.

Also, co-sign on a trance revival. For a good stretch after I gave up on rock, that was all I listened to.

At this time my dad got Digital Cable and got the mega pack that came with everything but HBO and the Porn channels, and there was an EDM music video channel and I used to watch it all the time while I painted warhammer stuff.

They would play Scooter a lot. There were a lot of wacky specialty channels back then, but when I look at the digital cable channels available now, its way more homogenized.

System of a Down is the only Rap Metal band I don't hate, because their anger came from a real place (Armenian Genocide) and not Fred Dursts angry at his dad for grounding him for having a joint in his pocket when he was 15 kind of anger.

Hey, don't you be hating on my Preview Channel (then turned into TV Guide channel) with it's slow-as-molasses moving schedule that has somehow always just passed the channels you wanted to see the shows for, forcing you to watch it plod along to loop around again while it shows ads for the original 70's Battlestar Galactica.

The theme from Ein Fall für Zwei. Synth tracks worked so much better than other kinds of music because they were played on a synth anyway.

Yes and no.

One is in his 40s and manages his own landscaping business so he's basically a professional lawn dad so that's understandable.

Mine was the Offspring, Hit That. Midi on a Nokia 6230 iirc. Still gets stuck in my head sometimes. Got it from one of those "free" ringtone and wallpaper sites over my data so it probably cost my dad $25 and he just never brought it up.

Of all The Offspring songs, you chose one of the absolute worst...though from context, sounds like you were a teen so understandable, I suppose.

I guess if it's going to be a "free" MIDI ringtone for a cheap Nokia, that's almost appropriate.

I managed to never actually have any of those downloaded ringtones, cause my first phone was the cheapest-of-the-cheap monochrome flip-phone I got in late 2003 for an X-mas present. Even for 2003, it was outdated. As said, monochrome screen, no way to download ringtones, literally all it could do was call, T9 text, and I think it had a built in calculator and blackjack...not even any snake. D:

I had it for 4 years until I finally upgraded to a really lovely Windows Mobile 5.0 phone with a slide out vertical keyboard.

I'm pretty sure this was from the late 00s and not the early 10s but I could be wrong about it.

Did anyone ever download the "Achmed 'ring tone'"?

It was pretty much a stereotypical middle eastern accent (badly done at that) guy saying "EEEEYYYYY KILL YOU!" Or something along those lines.

I always saw it advertised late at night on non-major network tv channels.

It seems like it was more of a 2000s thing just because you know, 911 and them allah people hate the god fearing white americans or whatever.
