    Anyone seen this before? This is one of the first CDs I bought back in 2001/2002...
    Back then I was only into LP among these bands and I got this CD just because there was "It's Going Down" on it.
    Turns out that there were some other cool bands there.

    The bigger question is: Why are Sum 41 and Nickelback there?
    Every new metal band in 2000 were labeled Nu Metal

    That compilation should have been called "Now 2001 Rock Edition." There are quite a few bands on there that I would not consider "Nu-Metal."

    ^ It's a bootleg that someone made on their computer, I guess...they were very popular (and totally legal) back in the day

    I remember those days and I own a few of those compilations. MTV even made them... "Return Of The Rock." :lol: I own both volumes.

    Oh my God, although they were "the shit" back then, I read that tracklist now and it's almost embarrassing. Except for Toxicity and LP :)awesome:). I do like that Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja song but it's still that typical teen "metal" song :lol:, as well as Crawling in the Dark

    Weird, so major labels like Virgin would release random bootlegs?

    They weren't really bootlegs, per-se. They were compilation albums. There were a lot of them.

    I remember those... One Step Closer was on one of them I believe :)

    The person who made this probably just put Virgin logo to look more legit...

    You gotta remember, kids, CD burners weren't readily available in everyone's houses. These things did happen. :lol:

    There was this compilation called "Testosterona" here, that had a bunch of tracks like this one.
