playing in a totally different style of muisc... and for that reason, yes... yes they are still around...
it's contradictory yes, but to say LP were not nu-metal is pretty dumb in the first place, I've always described their early stuff as nu-metal. it's not cool to say nu-metal is dead, it's logical, look at how many bands have strayed away from it - Papa Roach (now Hard Rock), Korn (rumours of a dubstep album), Staind (who the hell even listened to them in the 1st place!?)
the only band still doing the whole nu-metal thing are Limp Bizkit (whose 2011 sonisphere performance was little more than a nostalgia act...) and Hollywood Undead (...get out...now...)
and tyo whoever said that the lyrics for Burning In The Skies were immature, *facepalm* "I'm swimming in the smoke, of bridges I have burned, so don't apologise, I'm losing what I don't deserve, what I don't deserve"
compare this to Easier To Run "something has been taken, from deep inside of me, a secret I've kept locked away, no-one can ever see, wounds so deep they never show, they never go away, like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played"
...
the bottom line is, Nu-metal was mindless, homogenous and destined to die out, to which I say...
thank fuck.
