They are similar it's more in terms of what's added like more hiphop and rap, but again it's instrumentation, where there is more heaviness with nu-metal but with the other sorts of elements, like SlipKnot occasionly does which put them in the nu-metal category. Granted the bottom line is any band that falls in either or won't be seen as a true metal band, as if you look around different forums on the net not too many of the hardcore fans that will acknowledge these genres or give much if any praise.
