For metal? Yeah..the 90's were good.
If you're talking about less mainstream stuff like Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Jag Panzer, In Flames, Angel Dust, Grave Digger, Symphony X, Dream Theater, etc. Then yeah I agree. If you're talking about mainstream "Nu Metal" bands like Korn, Slipknot, Nine Inch Nails, Marylin Manson, Staind, etc then I'd have to strongly disagree.
