Nu metal might be making a big comeback now, but when Hollywood Undead formed in 2005 the subgenre had taken a steep dive off the cliff of popularity.

Eight studio albums later and Hotel Kalifornia sees the band waving the nu metal flag right as a full scene revival takes place. With Hotel Kalifornia Deluxe arriving this Friday, we spoke to Hollywood Undead singer Johnny 3 Tears to get his picks for ten records that changed his life.
