Yeah, that has always bothered me how loosely the term "Nu-metal" has been thrown around. Tool is another example, they are practically uhmm "Ol-Metal"

Cool band. Bassist is good yes, and he uses Eden 
A friend of mine who met them at a show told me they were really down to earth and not acting like "rock stars". Who knows maybe she was just confused. She also said Incubus are down to earth guys minus the frontman...

I doubt she was confused. I've heard this many times, that P.O.D. goes out of their way to hang with the fans. overall I think they're still down to earth people. did you see the MTV cribs with them? they still live in the ghetto.
damn that is cool. haha, i also heard that they still live with their parents or something?
Well she thinks she is a "groupie"
and told me none of them wanted to "get with" any of the dames. Whatever....some people......she told me the highlight of this after show party was that the drummer and singer were talking about their Non-Qualified retirement accounts!?!?!?!?????? YIKES!
Did anyone else see Traa in teh January issue of Bass Player? It's pretty cool article. It tell a lot about how he gets his sound.
man, my subscription ran out, so I renewed it, and while they (bass player) processed the order, they skipped me that month. now I'm ticked! maybe I can find the article online somewhere.

And they wouldn't get with any of the girls cuz they are all happily married and some of them have kid(s).Believe me,they are down to earth.I've seen them many times in my hometown and each time they would hang with the audience.
He is a solid player and locks it in real good. His tone is awesome. I feel like I'm being punched in the chest when he plays on that B string. Good tone but not for me, wouldn't work in my band, but for POD it is essential!
I saw them probably about 3 years ago, and they ruled! Granted, I'm not a avid church-goer, but when I heard they were a christian band, I was a little turned off. BUT after their first song was over, I looked over at my brother, and screamed "THEY F***IN' RULE!!!!". He is quite talented, and manages to pull off using more than one string!!! Unheard of for a new band!!!

ok can u tell me why there were little kids at a P.O.D. show? You got Fenix Tx totally wrong dude. Their new stuff sucks. There first cd is better. The new one lechuza is bad its the repeat of the old album just like how evil empire by RATM sounds just like the first album.
for one, the show was an "all ages" show. two, parents hear that the guys from P.O.D. are Christians and they assume P.O.D. is a "Christian band", which they've stated many times that they are not. so, then these parents bring their kids. P.O.D. play spritually uplifting songs and sometimes songs pointing at Christ, but they don't want to limit their audience to only Christians. I think their goal is to bring some positive music to a genre which is usually pretty negitive. I once heard Sonny say "were just 4 Christians playing rock music, do people call the Beastie Boys the 'buddist rappers'?".
the show Fenix Tx put on would have been just fine without the language. I'm not into that kind of music but I don't really hate it. I just thought they showed no class concidering it was an all ages show, which has nothing to do with the Christianity thing.
