What do you think about them?
Are they popular in your country?
Favourite album (if any :wink: ).
musically i don't hate them, they're "ok" in my book.
but their masks, lyrics and behaviours are really gay.
Quote from: "raynor"musically i don't hate them, they're "ok" in my book.

I agree. Musically they're fantastic; masks are ok but all other things just suck.
they're fairly popular over here, but i despise them, its shit for 13-14 year olds. whats worse, over here if you say you like metal, people automatically think you like slipknot.
They are very popular here. Everywhere I go I see kids with slipknot patches on their bagpacks. I think the first Album was the best, the rest was shitty.
where in nrw do you live
I'm currently wearing a Slipknot t-shirt that I made myself kinda for the show three years back. They put up quite a good show and I got my self-titled album signed. I was a big fan then but currently they're ok and the self-titled is my favorite album with Prosthetics probably being my favorite track.
Few years ago there was this Sliphop-craze. Everyone was wearing loose hiphop jeans and a Slipknot-shirt but that's over now, I suppose. Though I think the new album did lift the band back up to spotlight and appealed to a bit different audience.
Selftitled was cool. Iowa was a bit of a disapointment, and Vol 3 just sucked ass ...
I wouldn't listen to them now, as i've found so many bands that are far better than them. They are dull in my book now. But, just three years ago i digged them a lot.
First two albums was shit..
Subliminal Verses is very good I think..

Vol. 3 is musically and lyrically 100 times better than the first two...
well, it's a matter of opinion..

i still love the s/t album alot, i thought Iowa sucked and i like a few songs on the Vol. 3 album like "Prelude", "The Blister Exists", and "Vermillion" but as a whole the album also kind of sucks. They were a great live band in their heyday but i think they kind of suck live now too (but they were pretty good at Ozzfest last year)

I think what turns me off about slipknot are the fans. theyre fucking morons.
and the mask thing is just dumb. at first it was a gimic, so it was ok. but as time went on, it really just became boring.
their last album was pretty shitty too. at least with the two albums prior to the last one, they had some good songs here and there. but there really wasnt anything good about the last one.
hahahaha, infected mushroom, your avatar says it all.
no really, i like alot of their stuff. There are some songs on Vol. 3 i really fucking hate, but my favorite songs by them are on that album as well. IOWA and S/T are decent.
They're are one of those bands ill listen to and enjoy if my friends put it on, but ive always got better things to listen to.
Quote from: "Oldnewtype"They're are one of those bands ill listen to and enjoy if my friends put it on, but ive always got better things to listen to.
exactly!
never liked them. there's like what...9 members? and between all of them they still havent made one decent song.
i thought their first cd was amazing. never got into the last 2. have seen them 3 times and they still put on a good how now, but nothing like the shows they had before Iowa came out. overall i would say they are now decent at best
First album : pretty good
Iowa : meh, some good songs
Vol. 3 : havnet heard, dont really care to anyways
Live : i guess before they were pretty crazy live, but on diasterpieces and on this live speacial on Fuse, the singer killed it for me, he sux live.
oh i almost forgot Mate Feed Kill Repeat, which is pretty good too, most of the songs i like.
Quote from: "lifter".oh i almost forgot Mate Feed Kill Repeat, which is pretty good too, most of the songs i like.
yea that cd is good too. they were a real mr. bungle rip off at the time though.
I wish they didn't change vocalists. Mike Patton-ish vocals over that music would have been insane
hahahha Corey Taylor looks like hes in fucking Good Charlotte now. Finally, hes given himself the look he deserves
whyyyyyy is this a pooooooooooooll???????????????
they fucking suck
Quote from: "ragdoll"never liked them. there's like what...9 members? and between all of them they still havent made one decent song.
Good guitars. If you disagree with that, then you are an idiot who has never played guitar.
Quote from: "skinnypuppy"I think what turns me off about slipknot are the fans. theyre fucking morons.
I only met cool people at the show but every band has good and bad fans.
Quote from: "lifter"oh i almost forgot Mate Feed Kill Repeat, which is pretty good too, most of the songs i like.
The jazz/metal combination is quite funny but there's some good stuff too.
Quote from: "xcrossx1"Good guitars. If you disagree with that, then you are an idiot who has never played guitar.
Yeah, they're all quite good musicians (though I can't really say it about everyone cuz all of them don't even play anything). But Joey's a good drummer, Mick and Jim play guitar well enough and Corey actually can sing.
the masks suck but technically they are very proficient as musicians.
most of the fans are like 11 or 12, so that is lame..
yeha they rock.
HAHAHA... funny shit.
my mother just said that when I was like year old I couldn't go to sleep unless my father played Black Sabbath. Hahaha... I still love BS :lol:
I fucking love the self-titled album. listened to it earlier today actually. at first I liked some songs on Iowa, but now I can't stand most of them. and Vol. 3 is crap, mostly because of Corey.
Mate Feed Kill Repeat is great too, but someone stole my copy.
i like slipknot, i hated them at first and thought alot like many people did that it was lame and shit. all though some of it i think is ,they are really good at what they do. their drummer and guitar players are right up there with some of the best in my opinon and their dj is one crazy bastard. corey has an alright voice to....
they're amazing. I havnt listened to them much lately, but the way that all nine members fit together into an integral unit is awesome. I saw them live this spring and they put on one hell of a show.
They played with Lamb of God, one of the worst bands ever in my opinion.
hahhhahaha
The fact that you love Slipknot explains perfectly why you didn't like Lamb of God.
Slipknot was ok but still the worst band there, Lamb of God was fucking amazing.
Slipknot? Hmmmmmm, I guess I like some of their stuff. But i'm definately not a fan.
Ok. When I was into nu-metal I liked them a lot. i think that in their genre they're pretty ok. I still like some of their songs but at the moment I'm into more demanding and experimental music.
i liked them when i was like 12 or some, i loved the negativity reaking from the speakers (fuck it all fuck this world fuck everything that you stand for) then i got my first piece of ass and realized thats all Corey Taylor ever really needed, some pussy. Its alright though he gets to help the truly opressed, meaning, the kids with dads who beat there ass and all that, i guess if it wernt for corey taylor, thered be more columbines. Thank you corey taylor.

yeah during first two... subliminal is da laying down like SOAD, and just thinking about they will take off da mask soon make me laugh, after that "separation" when disasterpisses i dont believe on em
if it werent for my friend liking slipknot when we were younger, i would have written them off as gay and dumb
but i must admit. there shit isnt bad at all
ST was there best. Iowa was pretty good, i enjoyed it. Mate Feed Kill Repeat had some pretty good moments as well. and i heard the newest album VOL 3 i guess, in my friends car. and the drumming in some of the songs is still creative, so joey def. still has it
anyway. slipknots image is pretty gay. but when it boils down to the music, theyre better than most of the shit i hear
I wouldn't call myself a fan, but a couple of their songs are catchy, but as some people have said before, i'm not impressed with the whole masks thing, Kiss did that and happily put it to rest so Slipknot should get over it.
i think theyre dumb and bad.
and dont tell me theyre skilled musicians. i know what a skilled musician is.
Chino describe them as the mickey mouse club and I agree with him they totally suck balls.
the mickey mouse club, hahaha
no name, i figured u of all people would enjoy joey the drummer at least
joeys drumming gets old so damn fast. and their liveshow is pretty lame as well. between every song it's like "well clown couldn't come here tonight, but he really really really wanted to be in sweden right now because we're fucking FAMILY." or "<insert country> is my favourite place on the earth".
but hell, i've heard a couple of semi-good songs.

dude are you just searching the board for bands you've heard of or what? it's sad.
I really hate everything about slipknot.
the lyrics and the masks are probably the worst about them.
their music is fucking shit, it's so boring and repetitive. the guitarist is shit, so is the bassist and what the fuck is up with those knuckleheads sitting on those drums and just hitting away?...percussion? HA!
the only slightly talented is joey, but he always plays the same shit.
this band is a disgrace to metal.
oh, I thought you liked the latest album?
I still love their first album. I don't give a fuck about their masks, they don't affect the music. their first album still has some really good songs.
Quote from: raynor on Jul 14, 2006, 05:56 PM

If your refering to the bass drums that might have something to do with the trigger pedals that he uses. I read once (I think it was in Metal Hammer magazine) a letter from some doctor who said that it doesn't matter how good a drummer joey is, it's not physically possible for him to use drum that fast on bass drums as it would totally fuck up his ankles as your joints make a lubricant which makes them flexible and if joey was drumming that fast, his ankles wouln't be able to create this lubricant that quickly and they would just seize up.
I used to be into the Murderdolls and at every gig, girls would scream 'Joey I love you, I want your babies' which was really fucking embarrising and when I did work experience at Roadrunner Records everyone who worked there used to take the piss out of them.

root is up there . hes a very good guitar player.
i dont dig em anymore but my first a/v ever on this board was of their DJ.
Iowa is my fav from them ....but yea their image fucked them up. alot of you would have diffrent opinions if you werent hung up on those mask...oh and their lyrics have gotton cheesy as fuck..they werent the best to begin with.
5 out of 10 on my scale. but there live show is a 9 out of 10.

total fucking bullshit. there are drummers who play waaay faster than Joey and they don't have any problems with their ankles.
yes, he uses triggers. but they have nothing to do with the pedals. they're there to make his playing sound better as it's very hard to play evenly when you play that fast. most metal drummers use triggers, at least on the bass drums.
Noone really understands what they're all about, So they come across gay and dumb to all the ignorant fuckers who watch MTV all day in hope that their favourite metal band just might appear...
I'm a big fan of Slipknot, more so a fan of Corey and his lyrics. Jim root is one of the best guitar players out there and they could play any shit Slayer or Lamb Of God play, I remember watching guitar lessons with Root and Thomson and they are shit hot. But just as their bassist Paul says, They could do shit to impress everyone but they aren't around to please ignorant fuckers who expect everything (like some of you on here)
Joey pretty much sucks live i think, He can't do any of the original drummings from recordings and there's plenty of other drummers who can re do drums exactly how they were recorded live (Machine Head, Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage) But he was classed as one of the worlds fastest drummers and is a respected musician so..
I find it funny how Chino describes them as the Mickey Mouse Club, but it kinda figures, Since they're pretty much well known like Mickey Mouse.
All in all they're an awesome band, Not the best live and if you don't really get what they're all about, Then you're probably a yank who's voted Bush to be president.
Favourite album - Vol 3 Subliminal Verses (hence how i got my nickname)
haha...ha.
i know, man.
powerful band. they've sold millions of albums, and captivate their audience.

Slipknot are fucking posers, its all a ginormous act.
They arent the most creative band in the world at ALL, but if someone puts on s/t or iowa i won't mind. Vol. 3, though...I really like about 4 or 5 tracks, the rest i cannot fucking stand. mainly three nil, opium of the whatever, and uhh forgot names.
Mate Feed Kill Repeat will always be the best, it's so diverse, Joey was still highly influenced by his jazz drumming. And I love the slower tracks on Vol. 3 :)

Haha.
for me the band is like a springboard from more demanding music. It's funny cause today I've been listening to vol. 3 the whole day. I think the album is good, even though they're posers bla bla bla. However, for some reason I hate when people say they suck because they're highly popular. I bet 75% of people saying crap about a band, not only Slipknot, were listening to the band some time in their lives.
It's like Theis talking shit about The Mars Volta but still I bet he's listening to it from time to time. And I remember him moaning about not going to their concert.
It's the same kind of shit-talk.
About the new track, I think it's nothing surprising but I will probably give the album a try.
Iowa introduced me into heavier stuff.

Haha, whaaa?
Okay, I was drunk when I wrote TMV sucks...they don't suck. They're indeed skilled musicians... they are just beginning to annoy the shit out of me. I hate their 7 min random guitar noises. They do have some great songs though and yes, I'd have liked to experience them live. No doubt about that.
Back to Slipknot; they don't suck because they're popular, they suck because they make fucking horrible music.
They look and act like idiots... horrible lyrics, repedetive song structures... just a fucking boring and horrible band.
Oh, and the fact they have 9 band members... fucking laughable. the so-called percustionists just run around on stage with baseball bats and simulate masturbation with their long clown-noses. FUCKING DUMB.
they're on the same level with Limp Bizkit when it comes to absolute suckage.
5th user account = massive fail
there never was hope....
big pain in the ass
THEIS - Question: what makes you think they make horrible music?
You listen to Death Cab. THEY're a bunch of gays making terrible and turgid music.
It's just words. I don't agree they make horrible music. They're ok band, a kind of shit you listen to twice a year.
The scenic stuff is different thing. I don't think you've ever listened and seen black/death metal bands/shows. Body painting, scenic acting, it's all part of the music. If you don't accept it, damn you. Many metal artists say without "being theatrical" on a stage would be like 50% of the show, THE SHOW. If you're saying they act like fools, you're a fool yourself. You don't appreciate art. Have you ever been to the music teather. I guess not. the music is different but the acting is pretty much the same. We had lectures with an actor singing in the theatres. He said he hates metal music but the acting he loves.
When it comes to music, I think half the bands appearing on this board are fuckin' terrible. They copy, they do not make anything original. But still many people listen to it cause they like it. I don't think there are any original metal bands at the moment, besides maybe 2-3 examples.

1. I've already answered that question.
2. So Death Cab is gay now? I'm pretty sure they're all happily married with women. And you probably haven't even listened to their music. They make great music. Take a listen to their album "Transatlanticism".
and LOL @ calling Slipknot's scene shows art. that had me rolling.

Actually, I gave the band a try 2 or 3 years ago, when everyone was like "they're great". They weren't. So I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about. (I believe it was the album you're talking about but I'm not sure, it doesn't matter really).
Gay, in the meaning of a weak radio band, not sticking dicks into asses. They're like Coldplay but worse.
The whole song is now up somewhere on the internet.

Slipknot - "All hope is gone"

hes actually saying eyes.
i think you guys just hate them because theyre cool. I've loved slipknot, ive hated them, and now im pretty impartial.
that new song sounds pretty damn good to me though.
Having 9 members is kinda part of the show. They did put up an entertaining live show and those clowns and long-nosed wankers running around just emphasized the experience. Would be boring if they were just gazing their shoes...
That new song didn't do anything for me and it was rather bland. I liked Slipknot back in the self-titled era but I've lost interest in their newer stuff.
The new song is ok. It's neither great nor awful. The new album will not be a revolution but imho the stuff will be great to listen to.
The new song is a bit like the same type of thing they have always done to me.
I was at first quite shocked at their "huge head' press photo's, but apparently they arent performing in them, and the have the same old faces.

Lol why would they say ass? Slipknot is a decent band. They strandle the line between extreme and numetal and haven't really released anything that wasn't good. People always hate popular bands.
They think if they hate on popular bands, they'll appear cooler on the internet.
It's no so much that I hate popular bands but I do feel that in general there are much better bands that deserve the spotlight. The public's taste is shit for the most part.
the public's taste is shit because the public is fed shit. most people don't seek out music the way us on the board do, they just listen to the radio and watch TV. if "better" (for lack of a word) music was played, then the public wouldn't have shit taste.
I agree. Nice av btw.
thanks! one of my favorite records.
They always impress and an excellent album
Overall, the new song is weak imo. Has a few cool parts, but seems like they're trying to be heavy just for the sake of being heavy. Lame.
what the fuck else would you be heavy for? Anyone who's heavy is doing it intentionally.

Have you ever played in a band my friend? Theres a thing called forcing it. You can tell when bands are or not, and well, obviously...you can't.
i play in 2 different bands 5 days a week but i guess i dont know shit about judging bands compared to you.
This song just sounds forced to me.
I'll force your face to shut up.

I just heard 'Psychosocial" for the first time last night.
at first i was, a bit , shocked kind of, that it was so slow, and almost like Korn...in fact a LOT like Korn, but, it sortof works for Slipknot.
i like it though, has a cool vocal hook in it.
"All hope is gone" is fucking death to the core though, so, i think i might like the new album.
I fucking love their two first albums (their self-titled is one of the best nu-metal albums ever) and I really like parts of Iowa. but Vol. 3 was some of the lamest shit I've heard. so are they continuing in that direction or are they at least trying to keep to Iowa-quality? I'll check out the song when I get home from work.
slipknot is awesome, vol 3 was really a knife in my chest, it was bad.
and i don't like some of the vocal lines, like the chorus of "spit it out" and "my plague"... kind of fucked the entire song up... i mean, seriously, what were they thinking?! and eight people in the band couldn't point it out to corey?!
i'd take Stone Sour over Slipknot any day.
aaaaaaah! stone sour is like a fucking nightmare! i remember listening to the song thinking "when's it going to end" and it was just two minutes in...

I thought the first masks were awesome and if they still had those I wouldn't complain. but now that they keep changing and try to make them look even "cooler".... it just feels really silly.
yeah... i mean, the whole mask thing is an awesome concept, partially why i love them so much, the masks, numbers, uniforms etc. the new masks completely destroy the concept
still, you have to remember that the masks weren't their idea from the beginning. there are a lot of bands who've done it before, and in Slipknots case I'm pretty sure they got the idea from Mr Bungle.
which one of the new masks is corey?

yeah, like I said: there are other bands who did it before them. but in Slipknot's case, I'd say they're more inspired by Mr Bungle's early style than what Kiss does.

actually, guys, that's corey's oldest mask. he used to have that one with the top covered and the dreads coming out of little holes but since he shaved his head i don't think the old mask with holes would've been alright... so he got this one made, it's fine, i've always liked that one... joey's mask on the other hand... super-emo
how're the new songs, lads?
um, no it's not. this is his old mask:
(http://www.mtv.com/shared/media/news/images/s/Slipknot/sq-all_black_corey-mtv.jpg)
alright, this is the old one:
(http://www.mtv.com/shared/media/news/images/s/Slipknot/sq-all_black_corey-mtv.jpg)
and this is the new one:
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3022/2627378742_deb90726e8.jpg)
the new one's the same as the old mask MINUS the top part. (the old one had holes for his dreads and the new one has a big hole on top because... now he has no dreads)
what's common between his old mask and the new one is the mouth area, one huge hole for the mouth, and he'd paint his mouth black.
furthurmore, the new mask is a hybrid of the oldest jim root mask (which he took from the guitarist he replaced) and the old corey mask. the old jim root part being the top (jim had short yellow hair then, which he'd pull out of the top-of-the-head hole and the old corey part being the mouth and eye parts...
THE GREAT BIG MOUTH
...yeah ... totally
I have to say I dig the new stuff.
Musically, "All Hope Is Gone" is a continuation of what the did on VOL.3. It's good, but still it's not a revolution.
"Psychosocial" reminds me of their second album, "Iowa". When it comes to lyrics I find them pretty interesting. "Rain will kill us all." Rain was always something purifying, a catharsis. For Corey it's something completely different. Nice concept.
this is going to be one of their back-to-basics album, like, a comeback after a shitty album... like the chili peppers... or limp bizkit (talking about the unquestionable truth here)
I highly doubt it.
seeing as how they only got bigger with Vol. 3 you can't really call that a shitty album in the sense of popularity. and there's no way they'll ever make more of the music found on Mate Feed Kill Repeat or s/t.
i loved all hope is gone but i just listened to psychosocial and it sucks. Like Vol. 3 I suspect this album will have 3 or 4 badass songs and the rest crap.
It is big here kind of
All my friends love the band
Personally i hate them all they ever do i scream Into the microphone and do stupid banging on pot things
But then again i'm not a big fan of "scremo"

i still dont like "all hope is gone", it doesnt add up.
though psychosocial instead, brings it. it has hooks, and that freaking breakdown is killer (that shit is so over used), but they somehow make it work. its probably cause they added the percussions, nice move.
we have one disposable song and another good one. mmm to close for me...
Never lstined to them

God! I'm not living under a rock. plus this is a slipknot forum thing

Wasn't he just trying to say that he has heard OF them? That he knows the band but haven't listened to them...?
Though everyone should give Black Sabbath a try.
Back to Slipknot...probably gonna see them with Machine Head and Children Of Bodom on november. All three are great live acts so it should be fun.
Black Sabbath is a band made up of Gods!!! I've heard the new tracks and I'm not that impressed yet. I still spin their old stuff and wish that they would go back to that. I love when a band changes it up successfully but they are writing the same lyrics and trying the same aggression without the music to back them up.
Hey did you guys know that the album art came out for this, I think yesterday?

besides all that, I don't see anything band in releasing clothing line by bands.
Puscifer is "as much a clothing line as it is a band", with the clothing items produced in limited numbers. Keenan collaborated on a leather jacket with Paul Frank.

The new album is pretty good. As I mentioned in the All Hope Is Gone-thread (which disappeared), it's way more commercial than earlier albums (from what I've heard), but Psychosocial, Sulfer, Butcher's Hook and Gehenna are fucking awesome. Especially the breakdown in Psychosocial. Eargazm
not for me just saw that new video, dont even recall the name but is the GHEY, slipknot died after iowa just when they said that were about to quit and get unmasked

i heard the new song too... great blast beat going on but apart from that, nothing much
i hope the other songs do something
After the first listen, I'd give the album 8/10. Some good stuff there, some weaker parts, but overally I think I'll prefer this over Vol 3.

I'd have to agree. I might lean more toward a 9/10 simply because I'm enjoying the maturation.
i actually enjoyed more volume III, ive only listen to it a couple of times. but i dont feel like doing it more often, i think it turned out to long. anyways hopefully it will keep growing on me.
they're good. the album is just a proof of that.
but I'm interested in much more sophisticated music now.

that said, I agree that they use an old and tested formula, but they manage to do it good once in a while. pretty much all modern music can be dissected and classified like that. and that doesn't automatically make it bad.
i can't get into this album at all and i've been a huge fan since the mfkr days. only good songs: gematria, this cold black and psychosocial

uh yes there is. this is a slipknot discussion thread. i'm sharing my thoughts on the album. i can say whatever the hell i want to.
Slipknot is absolutely terrible, if you want good prog death metal with a fucking sick message , check out Gojira , their first album , Terra Incognita , and The Link , their second album... their third album from mars to sirius im sure youve all heard of, and its different than the first two, still unique like gojira, but not as straight forward.
Gojira is progressive, groovy as fuck, and heavy with a really positive message. its technical, understandable , and not too fast. all around an amazing band.
here's some youtube...

its bands like this, meshuggah, nile, etc. that make me feel slipknot is a sloppy marketed piece of junk with nothing really unique to offer except trash cans and a dj, which ive never really noticed doing all that much...
l0lz gojira is tight tho and too heavy for my industrial ass ill keep on mass hysteria speaking of franchute stuff

haha. c'mon now. i'm not trying to be an asshole. i just really fucking hate slipknot.
slipknot has OK songs.. But, the band sucks my nuts all day long, just because they suck so much and their stupid fucking masks are really really stupid.
ps. corey is a homo.
pps. the term "maggot" is the gayest thing ever.. sry "MaGgOtS4LiFe" ppl.
I would like to think I have an OK taste in music, Deftones being my favourite band and I have a wide ranging, varying taste from anything such as ambient,shoegaze, classical, industrial, etc. I make no apologies though for liking Slipknot and I am 21, not 13. My reasons:
I appreciate that Slipknot occasionally, or often, seems somewhat immature, unsophistocated in terms of lyrics, Corey's vocal style or music and i can see that side of the argument presented above.
I would like to stick up for the band though becuase Slipknot is what it is and they do what they do well.Catchy tunes, you could say pop, albeit with in more extreme (though not comparef to the likes of SYL or Gojira, etc.) metal/rock context.
To be fair, prior to such releases as Slipknot and Iowa (1999 and 2001 time period) and just ignoring a few great underground metal bands, mainstream metal in the late 1990s and earliy 2000s was up shit creek. Machine Head went nu metal for example, Pantera did OK with Reinventing The Steel, but shite like Limp Bizkit was dominant.
Despite the slating of Slipknot I've read countless reviews, affirming my own thoughts that Slipknot and similar bands made heavier more traditional riffs more viable, ressurected it if you will. To me, metal and alternative music in general seems a lot more healthier than it was. And to give Slipknot their due they have always done something different with each album, and pushed the envelope.
But as said they have had a fanbase that extends back into the pre-teen age group for a long time now. And that considered they don't make the worse music in the world. At least give them that!

Depends on what you like.
im open minded, i'm mainly attracted to progressive approaches to metal, intense, driven, unified, technical, brutal, slow or fast, melodic or not, w/e. as long as they are a good metal band with a good vision, Cynic, Death, Strapping young lad, nile, necrophagist, meshuggah, etc. i am also really impressed with.
im not much of a metal listener, but i do know Slipknot fucking sucks balls.
my favourite band is Mr.Bungle, who slipknot ripped RIGHT off...

"all hope is gone" is really fucking laughable.
heavy "tough guy attitude verse + boy band chorus = Slipknot". pure shite.
there's really no point in making posts like that, is there?
uh yes there is. this is a slipknot discussion thread. i'm sharing my thoughts on the album. i can say whatever the hell i want to.
that's pretty fucking immature dude.
yeah, you can say whatever you want and I'm all for free speech etc. but don't try to tell me you wanted any kind of giving conversation about Slipknot with a post like that. that's what I tried to point out. and then you get all angry. clearly you just want to be an asshole.
haha. c'mon now. i'm not trying to be an asshole. i just really fucking hate slipknot.
fair enough.
hey, didn't you post that Faith No More video in the Mike f'n PAtton thread? where we talked about FNM live stuff? or was that in another thread?
I'm really digging the new album.
Way better than Vol 3 and it sounds like Corey's voice has either healed up more or he's learned to cope after shredding his chords.
At the end of the day I'm stoked there are bands like this that are exposing more young people to heavier music, they have been in the number one album slot in New Zealand since releasing "All Hope is Gone", as opposed to crap like Mamma Mia, Chris Brown and The Jonas Brothers.
I've talked to so many kids who have heard Slipknot only to quickly progress to listening to,or even better playing, heavier music,The core musicians are also pretty technically proficient imho, it's pretty easy to find info on the net concerning these guys skills and Jim Root would easily be in my top 10 guitarist list.
Anyone who can't get past the fact they decided to take 3 mates along for the ride to wack on kegs and wear costumes is either taking them way to seriously or has'nt seen them live.I love bands that use aesthetics (Manson, Tool, etc) and actually put effort into presenting something which is more than just 4 guys standing around in black jeans, t-shirts, chucks and full sleeve tattoos.
They play here on the 22nd of October.
Can't wait.
great post, ry.
im kinda done with them
the last lp is like jizz
I really dont like them anymore.
IMO lyricly it really sucks, allways the same bullshit hate stuff.
That might belong to the music style, but this is just true bullshit.
They also lost the real agression in the music, it kind off goes to "emo metal?" now.
And I think it has allways been the sound that does make slipknot so populair.
I think Corey is a great singer, but a bad writer. And Joey, yeah he is a true metal drummer.
But I really dont dig the rest of the band.
I was surprised how fats I got bored of this cd. It's great but somehow repetitive.
Slipknots performing tonight. ( Newzealand)
I hate to admit this but Slipknot are actually growing on me. i used to hate them and think they're really crap but
Idk now
I'm stil saying i hate them......
I just listened to self titled for the first time in like 10 years. I can't believe I own this cd.
A while ago I unearthed some of my old cd's from the basement for a car ride.
Was fun to listen to bands like Korn, Sevendust and of course Slipknot again. Brought back some memories as well.
Then when I got back home I put those cd's back where they belong - a box in the basement ;)
Haha yeah dude. Korn keeps popping up on deftones pandora. But I've recently busted out some old tunes. It's fucking great. I've been rocking Puya, Earth Crisis, and Silverchair lately.
YOU'RE 555 I'M 666!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahaha
I take back everything I said about this band previously in this thread.
Saw them at Roskilde Festival and it was fucking awesome.
Corey Taylor is a world class performer and he knows how to hold an audience in an iron grip.
Impressive vocal talents too.
I was a really, really big fan back then when self titled came out and wait and bleed was on TV.
One of the first big shows I saw was with Metallica, Slipknot and Lost Prophets (which were booed off the stage after 2 and a half song :) )
I'd loved them more then deftones :-[
But when I began to grow, all the "dark" music like Korn and slipknot, which I really adored, became more and more shit to me and I stopped listening to it more and more.
Corey Taylor is an awesome musican, he has a very beautiful and powerful voice, he is magical and the old stone sour demos are gems.
Slipknot is a good band with good songs, but in my opinion it's more something for teenagers in their dark period who needs someting like a leader or "godhead", it's just like a cult when you're a "maggot".
Feel the same way I'm pretty sure I went through all the normal stages of a teenage boy, started with Nirvana then Metallica then SOAD then Slipknot, it's great if you're a teen angry at your parents or something but after a while the masks just seem kind of fucked up and dumb and you start respecting yourself to much to be called a maggot lol.Overall I think the musics good but the fans aren't they're either teens which is pretty cool but then there are those adults who never moved onto anything else and they're usually dicks, I know this one chick who says she's Slipknots biggest fan and she means it literally lol she will full out yell and scream argue with someone if they say they are.

"To our Maggots and fans around the world,
It is with great pain but quiet respect, that for personal reasons Joey Jordison and Slipknot are parting ways. We all wish Joey the best in whatever his future holds. We understand that many of you will want to know how and why this has come to be, and we will do our best to respond to these questions in the near future. It is our love for all of you, as well as for the music we create, that spurs us to continue on and move forward with our plans for releasing new material in the next year. We hope that all of you will come to understand this, and we appreciate your continued support while we plan the next phase of the future of Slipknot.
Thank you,
The 'Knot"
Aw man! Joey's gone too?
Well at least Slipknot have announced new material and also Joey has Scar the Martyr to work in.
I'm surprised yet understand the move. This is a huge blow to Slipknot.
Whoever they decide to drum for the band has some serious shoes to fill.
I'm honestly shocked that they'd even continue. Joey and Paul were the main writers. I can understand continuing after Paul's death to keep his music alive but they always said they'd never continue without the original members. Joey was the only one really actively working on new Slipknot material over the last few years so with this promise of new material in the next year it makes you wonder if they'll be forced to start from scratch, if they'll use Joey's music or if perhaps he had already recorded things and they'll complete the album without him and bring in a touring drummer. Either way, it won't be the same and whoever steps into the role of their drummer really won't ever be able to live up to Joey's legacy. Joey was the one really pushing for the band to continue after Paul's death but I guess he finally gave up on trying. Also Joey doesn't look the healthiest these days. It seems he's been drinking like a madman and put on a lot of weight. The whole situation seems pretty strange. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.
I could definitely see why he would leave it must get frustrating waiting for Corey to do all his bigger projects and I could also imagine that some artistic differences have arisen, I just don't think Coreys the same guy it's like he has moved away from Slipknot more and more over the years to the point where he and the rest of the guys have lost that compatability they had.

Chino describe them as the mickey mouse club and I agree with him they totally suck balls.
Now look at them, playing on some editions of KNOTFEST this year, huh?
I like'em; S/T and MFKR are pretty good, IOWA is decent though at first I didn't like it. Vol 3 Is my fave. Then All Hope is Gone is their worst at least for me.
Gray Chapter has a very good songs, better than AHIG and pretty good if you consider Joey and Paul aren't on the record.
Of course, there is a lot of better stuff out there but they're pretty good IMO as well as musicians (Jim Root owns as well as Mick) and the new drummer, if not as good as Joey still has some skills.
As for the masks... I really don't care if they're masked or not, but it's fine for the shows I guess.
Sorry for the bump? ::)
Wtf ! chino thinks he makes art like he's Vincent Von Gogh, he usually speaks about Korn, Linkin Park, Limp bizkit, Metallica. Inferiority complex...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Yeah, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, chino can't compete with slipknot, Ok Linkin Park it's the biggest selling debut álbum of 21st century, They're in good company with the Metallica's black álbum, though. Slipknot however, they pushed the boundaries of acceptability and censorship, the underground loves them, the commercial world loves them, and the media can't ignore them. Slipknot's live show is complete mayhem. Like Corey Taylor told us a few years ago, anything on Slipknot's stage can kill you, and though the members may not actually be setting each other on fire anymore, there's plenty of flame to go around. As the band grows, so does the show, and it's a true spectacle to be witnessed.

I can only argue with you regarding Abe. He totally has another skills or techniques, they do not play the same music (if you understand) but I consider Abe being a monster in the way he plays, he has been I should say, the only constant member that's giving 100% in every Deftones album and in live shows he is even better.
I could see him as one of the bests drummers nowadays easily.
And I'm not saying Slipknot's members are best at playing than Deftone's members, just saying they do different styles but in some things you point you're right.

Did you really just copy and paste a girl from Noisey's article on why she thinks Slipknot is so good? Here is a little plagiarism of my own:
"Slipknot is a lot like professional wrestling. It's not about if it's real or not, if it's good or not, if it's tasteful. It's about putting on a crazy spectacle that you can't look away from. Like a circus sideshow. Seeing the uncynical, un-ironic strangeness that mankind is capable of.
People shit on wrestling all the time, and rightly so! It's terrible. But you can't deny that it was fun to watch in the nineties. It didn't matter if it was stupid. It didn't matter if it was real. It was fantastical nonsense, and don't try to deny it--you love fantastical nonsense, whoever you are. I mean look at that red carpet lineup that you've posted with the members of slipknot. Just look at it. Tell me honestly, do you really want to live in a world where that never happened?"
I'm not denying they are good at their instruments? Collectively Deftones beats the shit out of Slipknot.
Yeah, xD! I LMFAO with that girl. Come on, I am on a forum where 85% of the Deftones fans are fanátics or delusional as chino, and did you really think that I will just try to convince you that you are wrong? I just did copy paste of another fanatic... In my opinion, all members of slipknot are better at all levels (individual or collective), they are better live also. they have more influence. I can't see a single shit where deftones are bigger.
This whole thread is a joke. I admit I only clicked on it to see if there was anything funny to spectate, being that it's on a deftones board.
