Coal Chamber - "Loco"


Taproot - "Poem"

"Loco" is very boring. It has no memorable hooks. It's also embarrassing. That video...oh my god. Holy shit is that hilariously lame. "We are CRAZY!!! And SPOOKY!!!" I can't think of anything more pathetically Nu Metal than a chorus that literally repeats "Me loco!"

"Poem" is like Spin Doctors meets Alice in Chains with some Nu screams and riffing. And...I kind of like it TBH? Easy vote.

Poem by default.

I don’t even know what to say about Loco

Lol that Loco video

A vote for Poem is a vote against Loco.

Saw Coal Chamber 3 or 4 times by accident. I liked Loco and Big Truck. Like White Zombie, they had a female in the band who was a 6 in real life but looked like a 10 with a bass in her hand and nothing but boners in the crowd. I saw the guitar player (Meeks, I think) spit on his guitar tech. That was fucked up.

3 or 4 times by accident . Lol

Plus, a neutered Smells Like Teen Spirit intro.

I’ll vote for the scary clown.

“Poem” because I really like the transitions/bridges and “Loco” is very bad.

I almost feel like “Poem” should be played just a tad slower.

Funhouse horrorshow bullshit is instant point loss for me, more so if clown makeup and/or facemasks are involved. I don't doubt that the people in these bands had the social adjustment issues their music suggested, but neuroses as fashion is a one-way ticket to my shitlist.

Taproot at least sounds a bit more melodic than the usual nu-metal lot. Easy vote.

Like a festival here, as an opener there - never the headliner.

Both of these bands are really bad too.

Taproot I guess, Coal Chamber is fucking horrible back then and now too. Devildriver was alright for a while there in the 2000's though.

What is this "Loco" song? Damn terrible, that's what. I guess it fits in with a lot of the other nu metal stuff, but it has no redeeming qualities.

"Poem" isn't too bad; it does some nice things with a heavy melody. I can definitely hear some Alice in Chains in the vocals, as LV pointed out.

I once saw the Coal Chamber spinoff band DevilDriver, on purpose.

By "on purpose" I mean they were opening for another band, but I got there early hoping they would be good. They were not.

Loco was kind of fun. Poem was hideous.

My friends opened for Devildriver, which is how I ended up seeing them. I was also forced to hear one song of the band Emmure live before I left to get pizza during their set. Emmure is still the worst band I've ever seen.

I voted for Loco - haven't heard it in years, not good.
