its good to see the retards still manage to be coming in and saying "sl1pkn0t eez sh!t L0L" on page 91 for ****s sake
its a slipknot thread if you don't like it leave if your still at it on page 91 your being to persistant and need to seek help because your burning up with too much hate.
Do you really think Slipknot FANS really care why you don't like Slipknot?

[relliK]

Deathcrush says he doesnt like Slipknot and explains why.I see nothing wrong with that.

[Avalanche.]

I think Slipknot are mediocre. I do like Jim Root though, Mick Thompson always came off as a prick.

Responding to your last question, yes, most Slipknot fans do. This is probably because most Slipknot fans are 12 and want people to listen to them and worship them like they do. If people disagree with them, then they get all pissed and ask why they feel that way.

[relliK]

Many people in general diss Slipknot just to get a reaction from maggots.

They claim not to care, but most of them do.Often times they can't understand why, because to them Slipknot is truely amazing.The fact that some people disagree is unimaginable to them.I was like that at 1 point.

[Sleepy]

Alright, before I even start to create a post here, lemme make one thing clear: I am not here to irritate maggots, simply to start an intelligent debate with reasons behind claims. Please don't label me as one who just pisses on maggots for fun.

Also, please no "slipnot is awsome!" or "slipknot sucks!" posts. Thanks.

Now, to start this logical and mature "debate", let me start by asking what all the fuss is about with Slipknot? I've listened to at least 2 songs on every album the guys have released, and, while I find songs on one album radically different than the other, I found that I have enjoyed none of them.

Slipknot just seems like a "stuck in the middle" band for me. Not heavy enough for death...not fast enough for thrash or power...not impressive enough guitar work for even metalcore...they just seem, IMO, to fall short of every possible subcategory of metal. Then what are they? Hard Rock? Or something new altogether?

However, I must give Slipknot props for their My Plague music video. The secondary percussionists down on all fours on top of their drums headbanging was thoroughly enjoyable to watch. I did not, however, find the song to be anything special.

Then what, is it, that has garnered the Knot such fame? The crazy costumes? I think not. Plenty of no-name bands over the years have done everything from crazy hair to crazy looks.

Now, a counter-opinion, please? I really am curious to what peope see in this band that I have obviously missed. What have the maggots seen that has passed my eyes and ears by? Or are the maggots really the ones missing the point? Please, intelligent responses only. I'm not trying to flame Slipknot.

[stratplaya]

yes indeed, purity rocks! :cool:


i love purity!:chug:

To answer your question at the end, many people like me happen to enjoy their music, I don't think that a band has to be defined in a category to be good. I like Slipknot's guitar, drums, bass, and percussionists, just because they don't define metalcore, death metal, grindcore or whatever doesn't matter to me, what does matter is that I like them, you don't have to but don't come in here asking why people like a certain band, I'm sure that some of your favorite bands don't define metalcore, death meat, or grindcore, why should Slipknot fans be any different from yourself.

[PepsiMetal]

Slipknot are nu-metal, but I hate people who say that all nu-metal is garbage. I like slipknot and soad alot, and they're imo one of the good nu metal bands.

Slipknot's guitaring is not that great, bass is pretty bad too, vocals are ok, and drumming is above average imo. Of course I mean Joey's Drumming, not those other guys who just add more drums.

and even admit that they sold out

Source, please.

[Huber]

It's hard to sell out when you were already selling. They made some money, why should we care?

Okay, let's start tallying for the "what's so good about Slipknot?" count.

Slipknot just appealed to some people and don't appeal to others.

Amazing with how many times I said in my original post "'I'm not trying to flame Slipknot", one way or another, I am treated as such. Oh well.

I also did not mean to say that a band has to fit into a certain subcategory of the metal genre to be good. I thoroughly enjoy bands like Devildriver and Chimaira who can really only be classified as "Metal", and not much else.

The reason why I posted here is because I was wondering, since they made such a big friggen bang, if I overlooked something in them that has been caught by so many other people. I am personally unopinionated about Slipknot. I don't hate them, but I don't worship them, or even like them.

And, while not even in response to the topic I was aiming for, selling out does not, to me, decrease the quality of a band's music unless they choose to give in to the pressures thrown at them by their labels. I am alsoa firm disbeliever in people who now hate Metallica albums, like Kill 'Em All and Master of Puppets, just because they didn't like more modern releases by the band.

If anyone has an answer other than "some people like 'em some don't", please make yourself known here. If not, just ignore this post. I was just wondering if there was something special in this band that simply passed me by. In magazines where I used to see bands like Meshuggah on the cover, I now see only the masked men that make up the Knot. Whadd I miss?

I'm late on this because this is my first time in this thread in awhile....but I am a Slipknot fan and I actually would like to hear why the people who don't like Slipknot feel that way.

[faelun]

whooo slipknot is going on tour!!! who's going to go see them!?! i already have my tickets!!! if your 555 then I'm!

[Aberrationbass]

well my theory on people don't like Slipknot(well of the hardcore(as in the adjective) metal comunity) is that they are a heavy band, which is undeniable, and are relativly mainstream
it suprised me something so radio unfriendly got so big
there all most like mainstream death metal which kind of isnt the point so thats why the DM BM TM and so on fans hate them
im gonna get verbally assulted now but i think its because im right...........

[Sleeper]

I've been a Slipknot fans for years, and i've heard all the lame reasons why people don't like them. Such as:

Growling Vocals
Masks
3 Drummers?
They say **** every setence
Sold Out

The list goes on, I think many people don't like them because of there major popularity with younger kids. Most younger kids that listen to them are "goth" or present that image to the public. And people try to stray away from that, resulting in bashing this band.

[andyhainey]

i agree, i usually say 2 folk, do u like slipknot. and they say, no all they ever do is shout, and im like, not as much anymore, you would no if you heard subliminal verses

[andyhainey]

I was thinking that too when i was saying this thread is going nowhere, I sure miss that guy.

[relliK]

In order for this thread to go anywhere there needs to be some happenings in the Slipknot camp.Aside from the live album and the tour, you wont be hearing **** from them in about 3 years.

IMO, he brought some life to this thread. He gave some real insight about Slipknot, instead of the randomn posters saying "Slipknot are ok, this isn't what i like". This thread used to have real conversations when he was around, now it's basically dead.

The History of Slipknot

Slipknot formed in the year of 1995 as a result of the work of Paul, Shawn and Anders Colsefni (ex-vocalist). (They had originally played with the idea of making a band as early as 1993 and even began writing songs; however the project fell through when Shawn became busy with his welding occupation.) These three along with guitarists Donnie Steele (ex- Body Pit guitarist) and Quan Nong began practising under the name of Meld. However, at some point Quan Nong left, this time is uncertain, but is expected to be following the first six practices due to his following of a more Alternative/Punk style. Following his departure the band started anew, with a project named, "The Pale Ones". During this period Shawn (a.k.a Clown) was the lead drummer.


Paul was determined to get Joey involved with his new project, despite failing to receive his interest in earlier projects such as Body Pit. Paul met up with Joey at Sinclair's where Joey worked nights, there he tempted Joey to watch rehearsals within Anders' basement. Joey reluctantly agreed and despite missing two rehearsals due to work priorities, eventually made it down to the basement to view a practice session. This basement, was "largely, open spaced", not only was the area so small and cramped but for soundproofing the members used carpet samples and scraps from a nearby pet grooming centre, these made the whole basement smell of Cat piss. The first song that Joey heard them play was a song known as "Slipknot", followed by "Gently" and "Fur". Joey soon realised that he had to be in this band and soon began to play the drums; pushing Shawn onto percussion. A band had formed.


Within the cramped basement new songs were being turned out by the minute, including titles such as "Killers Are Quiet", "Bitchslap", "Do Nothing", "Confessions", "Some Feel", "Part of Me" and "Tattered and Torn". Paul, Shawn and Joey also began to meet up at Sinclair's to discuss ideas and plans for the future. Here they planned everything, here they decided the rules that define the current Slipknot.


1. "We do not answer to anyone"
2. "We do not worry about trends"
3. "We play what we want"
4. "We would not allow people to have any sort of influence on the band"


Shawn and Joey also decided that the band would require three drummers to provide a hardcore audio assault. Shawn wanted a drummer to the left and right with one at the back controlling it all, creating a wall of power, a fist layer... . Joey plays the main set and as a result is the main drummer who holds the band together. Shawn is the "Total Power Drummer" and is all aggression. The third element of percussion was often performed by Anders. Within Sinclair's Shawn and Joey also realised that the band would need another guitarist. Josh formerly of Modifidious and Inveigh Catharsis was called and he soon added himself to the band. Now there were six.


Soon the band decided on a new title for themselves, they toyed with the name of "Pyg System" however agreed on the more simple name of "Slipknot", the title of their first song. The people of Des Moines knew that a new band was forming and they knew who was in it. However no one had heard or seen them. Soon a small performance was given, the band suited in Kiss styled makeup, fitting the music perfectly with the green glowing lights. This spawned the idea of the masks. This idea evolved and following discussions and Shawn turning up to a practice wearing his legendary Clown mask, the sextet decided almost unanimously, with the exception of Donnie, that masks should be worn. Joey came fully equipped with his moulded and expressionless Kabuki Mask and despite difficulty within practices the idea took off, the whole anti-image appearance which fitted so well with their rule of ignoring trends had a great appeal.


Soon Shawn contacted Mike Lawyer, due to an interest in recording some studio work. Mike got an engineer/producer of his named Sean Mcmahon to meet up with them during a practice session. Sean, not only stunned by the wolf skin attire of lead singer Anders, was also blown away by the sheer sound of Slipknot. The band soon started work on their first project, dubbed, MFKR. "Mate Feed Kill Repeat". The band grabbed every available moment to practice, perform and record within the SR Audio Studios, customising the room with posters, lights and many other objects. Many happenings occurred around this studio, including the drawing of corpses on the road outside and a performance in the nude by Joey.


Sean Mcmahon: "I was contacted by former members of a band called Body Pit to check out their new band at their rehearsal space. I did. I was Floored! That band was Slipknot."


Within February of 1996 a great change occurred within Donnie Steele; he found God. He realised that he could not be within such a band as Slipknot with the beliefs he held and as a result withdrew himself from the group, the others respecting his descision. At this crucial point in time a new member was called up; a former member of Joey's band Modifidious, his name was Craig. He had been recommended by Jordison. During his arrival the MFKR album was already in its mixing stages. The mixing of MFKR was anything but smooth. Each song being remixed many times. Strain was added by different view that each member held and things often got intense. Not only was their problems with the mixing but the band was also unhappy with the mastering that was done on the CD, hence they insisted that Sean should do it.


Slipknot's first major show in which they would unveil themselves to the people of Des Moines became booked for the 4th April 1996 at the locally known meeting place pronounced, "The Safari". On the day's arrival the room was packed with 200 people. The band arrived in Joey's car and each member sported their individual garments. Paul with a wore wrapped around his head, weaving in and out of his piercings, Josh showing off an executioners hood while Craig had placed pantyhose on his head. Joey and Shawn each used the masks they had always worn, the Clown and Kabuki. Before the band began to play Joey began to incessantly shout, "I need a little Christmas in my drink" repeatedly with each new phrase increasing in volume, energy and power. The band then slammed into their debut song, "Slipknot". By Slipknot's second performance at the club Paul had found a new "Pig" mask. Within this show the band played with another band named, "Stone Sour", Corey Taylor was the lead singer. The band played a total of seven shows at the club in one month alone.


The band carried on playing their shows which were much more "insane" than we see these days (taming of the media,etc...), rather than the same uniform jumpsuits and regular masks the band played in different things, for example Shawn rented out a large purple "Barney" suit and others wore Nun dresses and even ballroom dresses or a Little Bo Peep outfit. The shows were really dark, underground and scary however they still carried an element of humour. The shows would start with strobe lights flashing and a sample from Craig, usually of a mad laugh and "ice cream" man chimes, Shawn would drop a power saw to create a series of sparks to fly over the crowd.


Joey still felt that the band was incomplete. He wanted more; a different sound and a greater variety. Craig was promptly shifted onto samples, leaving an empty vacancy. Hence Mick arrived.


MFKR was eventually finished on Halloween, 1996. The party had began and 400 people turnt up.


The album was sent out to many people and a person named Sophia at a local station managed to hear it and liked it. This lead to the arrangement of Slipknot's appearance in the local battle of the band's contest. The on air tournament that spanned across several weeks soon began with the individual heats. Slipknot faced Corey's band; Stone Sour - they won. Slipknot also defeated "Maelstrom" and "Black Caesar" who came second. Slipknot conquered all. This was one of the band's highlights that fuelled them to their current stardom. The money from the win helped fund the heavily in debt band's new projects and demos.


By this time several record companies had investigated the band, one of these being Roadrunner who felt that they should not pick up Slipknot due to their thought that the vocalist required more melody. This rejection continued and no where could they be signed. Sophia became their first manager due to her contacts and love for this new band.

[Tillius]

continued....

Things then seemed to get worse; Shawn bought the Safari which took time away from the band despite being a good investment. The band could no longer play in Anders' basement and things were falling apart. There were often tensions between Joey and Shawn and "Slipknot" had no where to play. However they still managed to make it onto the bill for the local "Dotfest" in June. There they played to the largest crowd in their history, a crowd of 12 000, containing many industry people. Not only was the sound dodgy and kept going out but the crowd began to throw chicken bones on stage. At the show Slipknot came out throwing Tampons into the crowd and had several "gimps". This was the first and last time for the "gimps". The gimps were Frank with a gas mask, Lanny with tribal markings in liquid latex, Greg covered with liquid latex and a ball gag in his mouth and Greg's friend Slick Rick in a latex hood. Slipknot had the original idea of having a professional stunt man, Rick, come out dressed as Shawn and then Shawn would come out and set him on fire. They had all the things to do it (for a long time it set in the cooler at Safari) but the city would not issue the permits to perform it so the event had to be abandoned. The set ended with them being cut off and an almost riot breaking out as Andy cut open his arms and tossed CDs over the fence to the fans. Joey quit. But he reconsidered and came back. Some good things did come out of this though, their performance left a mark, they made new fans and most importantly they discovered Sid Wilson (even though they did not speak to him).


Slipknot looked for the success they were not getting and decided to enlist Corey Taylor of rival band Stone Sour, to join the line up. Joey, Shawn and Mick confronted him with the an ultimatum at his work place, "The Adult Emporium". They said, "Join the band or we will kick your ***!" Slipknot provided an opportunity not present in Stone Sour; the band could go places. The music over image policy also appealed. Corey began practising with the band and the first lyrics he wrote were to be used in the song, "Me Inside". This was a very experimental move and everyone was wondering how it would turn out. This change resulted in Anders being pushed back to percussion and back up vocals. Soon this new breed of the Knot performed a show; it turned out it was a charity event for a local hospital. The Safari was packed to the brim. Corey came out wearing a large amount of makeup that gave a dark appearance, this was added to by two latex crosses marked over his eyes. Despite this excitement the show was riddled with technical problems and was the show that resulted in Joey's nickname, "Superball".


Their next show was on 17th September, again at the Safari. This show was a great improvement however nearly a year on from the MFKR release an announcement was to be made. Just before Slipknot were about to storm into their final song, "Scissors", Anders made an announcement, "This will be my last show" he stated. This stunned both band members and the audience. Following this sudden change the band returned to the studio to re-record the songs on their untitled second CD - minus Anders' vocals. Of these songs included, "Gently", "Do Nothing", "Slipknot", "Tattered and Torn", "Me Inside", "Carve", "Coleslaw", "Scissors", "Windows" and "May 17th" a song written by Shawn.


To cope with Ander's departure a new member was brought in, he was named Greg a.k.a Cuddles (a tattooist @ axiom piercing). Cuddles was extremely insane and very much like Slipknot's DJ, Sid. He would smash up the sets and even throw his drum kit into the crowd. Cuddles joined the band despite warnings from family and friends and he is also responsible for the tribal "S" tattoo on Anders' leg. Cuddles had previously drummed for the "Havenots" a band which Joey and Paul had been in. Cuddles is the naked guy in the MFKR inlet. Cuddles played his lst show in the Summer of 1998, he was the only member of Slipknot to be sacked, this was due to his lazy attitude towards the band. He moved to South Dakota and started up the tattoo parlour, "The Ultimate Prick", this has since been shut down. Following Cuddles' departure there was one show in Malibu which took place wile auditions were occurring, hence there was a replacement and that was Brandon, he played one show and wore the "liar" mask.


One night Joey and Shawn checked out a clan named "The Sound Proof Coalition" at the Safari containing the DJs, A-Rock, Loodachris, Phase II, Rek, Sub Two, Iniversoul and Starscream. Starscream, a.k.a Sid Wilson introduced himself to them and told them they rocked at Dotfest, Shawn said they needed a DJ, Sid said he was the man. Following pestering by Sid he was allowed to view a practice and following a session of head butting it was decided he was fit to be part of the group.


Auditions were being carried out for a Cuddles replacement, these auditions brought about a person named Chris Fehn, he had seen the band played and had previously asked to become a roadie. He was soon added to the group, despite being put through a vigourous ordeal. This included his initiation test commonly known as the secret track on the self titled album.


Soon after this event Slipknot came up with the barcode, number and coverall ideas. A new song was also written; it was called, "Spit it Out". Slipknot now had offers flying in from mainly internet reports. However the band really wanted Ross Robinson to work on the project and he was contacted through Sophia. Robinson checked out the demo tape and flew into Des Moines to view a practice session and a live show. After watching the practice (which very few are aloud to see) he knew the band would go far. Ross not only felt the vide of the music but the vide of the passion; a passion he himself had felt. This was the beginning of a wonderful creation. He then saw Slipknot perform live at the Safari on 2nd February 1998. Word soon got back to Slipknot that he was willing to record the album, label or not. Ross later signed them onto his own label, "I am recordings". Ross then got in touch with Roadrunner and the band publicly signed to Roadrunner Records outside of the Axion Studio (tattoo parlour) in Des Moines. Following a call on the 23rd September, Slipknot drove out to LA to begin the recording of their album. The band practised solid for a week and soon began the recording that left the band sore. They then travelled upto the legendary Indigo Ranch to carry on the recording. To add a necessary expression to this music, Ross got Corey to explain his lyrics to all the other members, so they could "feel it". This took the music to a higher level; it made it raw expression and emotion, it added an element not seen before.


Despite the many changes that had occurred within the Knot, another was to occur. This time it was Josh's time for departure, he left due to "family life" and would not have been able to cope with the extensive touring that lay ahead. The band knew instantly who they wanted to replace him, the Atomic Opera star, Jim Root. Jim originally said no to the offer due to his desire to stay true to the band he was currently working in. However after a bad show he called Shawn and essentially joined the band.

Yeah, because "Do Nothing/Bitchslap", "Liberate", and "Vermilion Pt. 2" all sound the same. :rolleyes:

the sound of a slipnot album is sort of like the soundtrack that my anus tends to play during fits of very violent explosive diahreah.

wait i mean theyre really awesome talented band that are pushing music far into the outer reaches of avant garde, destroying and transcending labels and styles as they push their bile laden music into the mainstream but still maintaining their credibilty

oh no wait, im kidding again, theyre a sellout metal band whos written the same song over and over and over and over again

You're an idiot. What Slipknot songs sound the same? Name them....don't just come in here and talk **** about them without having reasons. And by that I mean actual reasons.

[PepsiMetal]

I dont see why people make a big deal out of this selling out. As long as they still make kickass music, I could care less that they changed their style. We listen to music for entertainment not because they stay true to their music and such.

Although like most people said, slipknot has been selling good from the start, so they just continued selling.

Their style did change though, Circle and Vermillion II were hardly close to something on Iowa or S/t.

[Sleeper]

I'm glad they put those tracks on the album, it made me like that album more.

[PepsiMetal]

Their style did change though, Circle and Vermillion II were hardly close to something on Iowa or S/t.

So? Millions of bands change their style. My point was if you were selling before changing your style, than that means they most likely didn't sell out. You aren't a sellout if you change your style.

One time to many, yeah?

[Ozzfestgod666]

Slipknot was a lower down band for me except for maybe 8 songs top but the last 2 cds put out by slipknow totally blow me away,, and the fact that they solo on their new one gives them a whole new respect from me. I think slipknots slight change of style was for the better and they pulled it off withought mistake!

[bodger]

personally not a slipknot fan. they are nothing new or special, the rythm section is average and the guitars sound too distorted. not saying they are s*** cos the band has potential(talent wise) but it would be nice to see some original music being released. it seems all so called metal bands(with a few exceptions ie tool n dream theater) today are the same old screamo stuff and lyrics consist of death and f***. but hey what ever makes you millions of dollars a year is a **** good job

And it's not like Slipknot was really "tr00" in the first place.

Anyways, now that I look back on Iowa, it's a lot better than it used to be.

[Purple Alien]

Anyhoo Ya i made a thread asking this but i didnt see this one i just kinda posted it and went back to the bass forum...anyhoo can anyone give me some good examples of Craig (#5) doing his stuff like name some songs I am very curious on how he contributes and if this was already asked sorry i dont feel like going through over 9 pages of replies at midnight...

EDIT: 90 not 9... lol

Listen to all of the weird intros, I'm pretty sure that is all of Craig's doing.

[Purple Alien]

Well besides Intros like actual songs...I know he plays a sample here and there on some songs but where is a song where he is heard more often...

[Thor]

He does a good deal of stuff in Vermilion if I am not mistaken.

[Purple Alien]

Really? I've only heard his piano stuff from like Duality and that one song at the end of the CD (cant remember the name right now), and all of that screaming and stuff is Sid ain't it? Sid always seems to take all the good places for sampling lol

[Thor]

The band really doesn't need Craig at all, his mask just happens to look really cool. :lol:

[Purple Alien]

He does have a cool mask but im asking about his sampling cause I have this dream that me and my friend would make a sampling and dj duet cause i kinda wanna get into sampling but the only band i know that uses sampling is Slipknot...and Linkin park doesnt count...

I never understood the difference between bass (drum) pedals... ha i had to put drum as not to get confused with the type of bass pedal i use ;)...well ya linkin park does have better sampling but they also dont have that much guitar but this aint about LP...

[jonnyreco]

what vynal (records) does sid wilson aka dj starscream use on at slipknot gigs and on the cds

[Little_horn]

I dont kNow anything about any of there insatruments they just kick a** ,the only album i dont really like to much is there very first MFKR but after that it was all awesome

[masterchief]

There are too many slipknot bashers on musicianforums.

[badtaste]

Howdy everyone. Has Paul switched to Ibanez? I saw a pic without his usually corvette (I think), it was a orange-brown looking bass. Concert was Ozzfest, I think.

[badtaste]

Well, you could understand why Slipknot would be bagged. And the 'Maggots' aren't helping out the cause to see Slipknot recognised as a decent band. I wish we had a system of labelling the 13 year old kids from the ... decent fans?

[1omega3]

/\ totally, I'm so sick of going around forums like this and being hassled by a 13 year old who thinks he knows everything about whatever band is being talked about. Maybe we need an entrance exam to all forums.. "Question 1. ArE SlIpKNot Da ShIZNiT YoU HaRDcORe BitCH?". Perhaps something like that would work? Anyway, looking very much forward to catching the full line up once again at Download next year. They seemed to sorely miss Clown this year. Was nice to see a band so openly care about each other.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

Sorry to ask this but im just curious and shocked but its going around that Joey has herpes,i hope its not true but does anyone have any clue about it at all

[Chu]

What does it matter? Sorry, but from what I know herpes is like a cold sore isn't it?

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

It doesnt matter really i just didnt have anything else to say and i had just read it lol, and tbh im not sure what herpes is *shrugs*

[relliK]

Anyway, I'm pretty stoked for this new Live album.If sounds as good as Disasterpieces did, then it will be worth the buy.I found the live versions on that DVD to be much better than the album versions.I hope "9.0 live" sounds just as good.Not to mention the added DVD footage.

[PepsiMetal]

her·pes (hûrpz)
n.

Any of several viral diseases causing the eruption of small blisterlike vesicles on the skin or mucous membranes, especially herpes simplex or herpes zoster.

Doesn't sound too good. He should use condoms. At least he didn't sleep with like 4000 women like gene simmons. :lol:

[Shadows]

For some reason, that sounds appropriate for Slipknot. To me, at least.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

ewwww omg thanks that would be bad if he did have it and yeah he should use condoms ugh

[relliK]

^I hate you.

[Sleeper]

The herpes thing is a rumor, and who the hell cares? Seriously this thread is crap now.

[Chu]

Herpes (Or a form of, cause I know you can get genital herpes too) is a cold sore, which is on your mouth, or lip...

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

no its not crap now just cuz i asked a simple question and u may not care and thats fine but i was just curious just go on with your regular discussions.

[relliK]

This thread is crap because of people like you.

Seriously, this thread went long enough without getting flooded with 12 year old Joey fanboys.The last thing it needs is "OMG JOWY HAS HEOrPES LIEK OM!!!G111"

Joey is one of my favorite drummers, but he is overated by fans. Seriously, leave the guy alone.

He gets flammed so bad in the drum forum, it really makes me mad. He's on the list of most overrated drummers. Like Lars, and Travis. If people would stop praising him, then he would get the respect he deserves.

I never understood why. I'm not the biggest Slipknot fan, but I can recognize that he's a very talented drummer. I think if he wasn't so popular he wouldn't get flamed half as much as he does around here. It does get very irritating, because whenever he comes up it turns into a pissing contest as to who can flame him the most.

[Drunken Viking]

Travis?

[Sleeper]

As in Travis Barker.

[Drunken Viking]

Oh, the guy from Blink-182 right. I think he's pretty good.

First of all, don't post the exact same thing twice. Secondly, use proper punctuation. I'm only trying to help you out so people won't make fun of you in the future. Plus I hate it when people base stuff like this on the entire Slipknot fan base.

No, can you tell me what they are?

Alright, let's try and get this thread moving again.

Anyone see the stuff about the Live CD/DVD? It looks really awesome. Two discs of live Slipknot goodness.

Also, we should think of another name for this thread.

the live cd looks good but theres some **** on it like Duality and the Nameless
i imagine it will be similair to Disasterpieces in audio and coreys speakings

[Burning_Flame]

ok im gonna get really badly e-bashed and abuse me if this has been discussed before but i recently saw slipknot at melbournes Big Day Out and their performance was way below average, bordering on bad. The balance was terrible, you couldnt even hear Jim or Paul. Like im a fan and iv seen the dvds and that and i was really let down by the show. Did anyone catch that particular show, any opinions?

I saw Slipknot at Ozzfest this year, and they were ****ing sick. Only problem was Corey's mic was a little low and I couldn't hear much of him. Everything else was **** good.

Remedy, I saw the live stuff on www.black-goat.com

[Down'd Angel]

wow...this thread really dies for a while... :upset:

come on...someone does something interesting in here...

[Tillius]

Are they really breaking up? I heard that somewhere...any news on that?

[Drunken Viking]

They might after the next tour, hence the name (The Final Volulme Tour).

[forgetfull]

best 20

[forgetfull]

but thats cause ty will take a break

[Drunken Viking]

I'm sorry what? Write in compete sentances, or atleast in complete thoughts.

[Leper Affinity]

I read somewhere that the band announced they were NOT breaking up...

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

[Huber]

They aren't breaking up guys. I really doubt it.

They called it The Final Volume tour because it is the final tour supporting Vol. 3.

[Enlighten Me]

Why would they break up? Things are going great for them recently...

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

For Tillius the name of the game they will appear in is Infected its a gorey type game i think. http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/1510948/10052005/slipknot.jhtml?_requestid=374676

[Sleeper]

I wan't to hear another Stone Sour album, but not another Murderdolls one. I would like to see Shawn get back with his other band 'To My Surprise'. I would like to see jim or mick come out with something, and i've always wanted Crag and Sid to come out with a project together.

ok this is going to sound really sad but i the muderdolls rock (that isnt the sad bit) but i cant get my claws into the album its ****ing R rated and i cant buy it cause im a youngin i know its off the slipknot topic but meh the 'dolls came up if they do make a new album then perhaps they could find a way to lower the rating to a lesser one so younger fans like me can buy it

[mr black]

[panthersfan16]

Live 9.0 comes out on Tuesday here in the States, and if you buy it at Best Buy, you get a year membership to their fanclub...what's the point of being part of that fanclub, cuz if it's just a random email now and then, I'll just download it or get someone to burn me it.

All I know for sure is that Corey and James are in Stone Sour together, and Joey is in Murderdolls. I heard that Shawn was in another band and Mick was too...but I'm not positive.

corey is producing a band called Facecage under their own record label called "Maggot Recordings" (still signed to roadrunner though) & he has a cover band called DumFux

joey used to be the guitarist in "the rejects"

both mick & james have done solo stuff

sid did some solo DJ stuff, he called himslef "DJ Starscream"

+ the stuff already mentioned... and probably more!

[modern_man]

Mudvayne doesnt have any members of slipknot but i dont know about mushroomhead. Corey and James are in Stone Sour and Joey is in Murderdolls
thats all im pretty sure.

[Neamhtrocaireach]

Shawn is not in Stone Sour! ValeOfSHadows is 100 % correct.

Coreys voice is so worn out now.. LIsten to Disasterpieces and then to Live 9.0..... There is a major difference. Hes really ****ing up his voice...
I hope its ok for Stone Sours next album for his own sake.

[Untitled001]

i have a question.

how many side projects are the members of slipnot involved in?

Corey has one.
Clown has one.
Jim has one (same band as Corey).
Sid has one.
Joey has one.

I think that's it. Well, there's a rumour that Mick has his own Death Metal band.

[iluvkirkhammett]

I hope that Corey improves because his voice on 9.0 Live was really a let down. I use to be a big Slipknot fan, but now I'm starting to wonder if they're really any good.

[Neamhtrocaireach]

Dont talk like that! He was just after touring the world give him a break.
Even though he sounded worn he is still an amazing songwriter.
I JUST hope his roaring wont effect his melodic singing on the stone sour album.

[smart86]

agreed. im looking forward to this album. however for me, his worn voice on 9.0 live wasnt such a let down for me as it was for others. a little different from what we are all used to, but still effective all the same.

[ValeOfShadows]

wow i love this band!!! Not really i used to like them till i started listening to heavier music now i dont even consider them a band. Mick and James cant write riffs worth listening to. Joeys drum beats dont suit the music (except for people = ****) and theres no point of shawn and craig being in the band if thats what you call it. Sorry all you slipknot fans i feel sorry for you.:thumb: :p :smash:

This thread isn't for knocking Slipknot GTFO

IF you feel that way, keep it to yourself, people in this thread honestly don't give a **** about your opinion, as they, obviously feel different.

Mick and James write awesome riffs, you just don't appreciate it.
Joey's drum beats DO suit the music, you're just a ****-tard and are to stupid to see otherwise.
Shawn and Craig add a different element to Slipknot just so they sound different to every other Nu-Metal band.

Piss off.

Sorry Leukeh had to get that off my chest. There actually pretty good live. What i mean about mick and jims riffs are they could write so much better because they're both good guitarists. Joeys a sick drummer too. Anyway sorry i just dont like nu-metal except for mudvayne anywayz ill leave now.

Yeah... Thats what it's genre is... IMO anyway... is that bad?

Whoa, I just had a look around. Alot of people consider them Nu-Metal. I guess it just sounds weird since I mostly hear it being used as a derogatory term. I still don't think they're Nu-Metal though.

Probably because alot of people don't like Nu-Metal! :lol: Down-tuned guitars & screaming vocals turn alot of people off. Not to mention the dark lyrics most of the time.

Meh, I love Slipknot. Screw anyone who thinks they are crap at writing cool riffs. Besides Jim Roots Telecaster = Teh Secks.

Btw, I find it funny how ValeofShadows almost completely reversed his opinion after you went off at him:lol:

Everyones entitled to an opinion.... even if it is retarded.

[smart86]

agreed. but Leukeh did do a good job of telling him off tho. lol

[Sph]

Everyones entitled to an opinion.... even if it is retarded.
Yeah, but you don't go into a bands official thread and start insulting the band.

[I'm Charming]

I hate most Nu metal but I've always had a soft spot for Slipknot.

I have all their albums except the new live one.

Many of the riffs are bland for comment on a post above. They fit the style of music though.
Most riffs are NOT complex but they sound good...
In the end, if it sounds good, who cares...

I hate how people complain about Vol. 3,
They say "ohh yeah, slipknot sold out doood"
Actually Vol.3 is the most comparable to "Mate Feed Kill Repeat". Before Cory...
People who don't even know anything about a band shouldn't make such judgements.

[Sph]

My opinion still stands. I don't think Slipknot are true Nu Metal.

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

i like slipknot very much. i listen to them a lot as a sort of way to let out anger. i just sit in my room and ****ing scream the words to myself. my favourite album is IOWA closely followed by Vol:3. i havnt heard 9.0 live yet i will have to get a hold of it. could someone explain exactly what is nu-metal cos the term gets thrown around a lot so i am unsure of what true nu-metal is

[Sph]

Nu Metal is very hard to explain, but here's a good place to look.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nu_metal

:smoke:

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

so a perfect example of nu-metal would be Limp Bizkit?

[Sph]

I don't think there could possibly be a perfect example of Nu Metal these days. It has different meanings to different people.

[Brew]

For someone whos seen Slipknot about 3 times, is the live album worth buying?

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

For someone whos seen Slipknot about 3 times, is the live album worth buying?

probably not if you have seen them 3 times. are they going to release another album or not?

[Brew]

I read somewhere that Joey and Paul are working on some new material, but I'm not sure when the next album is going to be released.

[blackthorne]

i think slipknot are great joeys a sick drummer but i have a problem the clown and the other drummer really arnt necessary IMO it would be better wihtout them but thts just me

[Neamhtrocaireach]

I dunno... They do add a lot to studio records and live they are just crazy.
When i see them in the RDS the two percussionists added a lot to the sound.

[Sph]

Yeah, they're more important than alot of people realise.

[iluvkirkhammett]

I think Slipknot are great, especially they're old stuff, and I'm really looking forward to the next Stone Sour album. But someone said they were up for icon soon...

That's ridiculous, there are more important bands that should be icons before them.

[smart86]

Yeah, they're more important than alot of people realise.

a good example is the intro for eyeless.

[Sph]

Yeah, Eyeless is one of my favourites.

[Leukeh]

probably not if you have seen them 3 times. are they going to release another album or not?

Not anytime soon. Slipknot is taking a little break from recording at the moment so Coreys voice can recuperate (if you've heard any of 9.0 Live, you'd understand what I'm talking about. His voice was extremely worn from almost a year of non-stop touring. Still a good album though)

James and Corey are gonna do another album with Stone Sour (can't wait!) and again, there maybe be some guest appearences in the album from Sid to add some DJing to it, like in their self titled album.

On the inside cover of 9.0 Live it has a letter from the guys. At the end it says "It's been 10 years. Here's looking forward to 10 more." so one would assume another album is in store for us...:D

[ValeOfShadows]

i think slipknot are great joeys a sick drummer but i have a problem the clown and the other drummer really arnt necessary IMO it would be better wihtout them but thts just me

Yeh but they are needed in songs like Gently. Plus they get the crowd Gd up. They are the performers.(sorry i couldn't word that right.)

[Sph]

Yeh but they are needed in songs like Gently. Plus they get the crowd Gd up. They are the performers.(sorry i couldn't word that right.)
I understand what you're saying. They add alot of effect to their live performances.

[ValeOfShadows]

Yeh Sid adds a lot too. Hes psyco. BTW i heard off a friend that Sid has some organic brain syndrome is that true?

[Leukeh]

:lol: ValeOfShadows wern't you the guy I flamed in here before for bagging Slipknot?

Change of mind I see:lol:

Slipknot wouldn't be the same without all 9 of them. If someone left, they could easily afford to not replace them, it's not like they would be a band without a guitarist or anything, but they add a certain element. And they would have to redesign allllll of their merch.

What's the point in having a nanogram as their symbol if there isn't 9 people?

Dunno 'bout the organic brain syndrom, I've never heard of the condition let alone the rumor. On one of their tours last year he couldn' make it because he needed emergency dental surgery. They played on without him though, which he asked them to do, and the fans were happy they didn't cancel on them.

[Sph]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Wilson

It is said that Sid suffers from Organic Brain Syndrome
Maybe...

[ValeOfShadows]

Yeh im the guy you flamed. but i decided not to be a dick and talk about them because i used to like them and might know something other people dont. Plus i cant argue back.:upset:

[Leukeh]

Wow. Six Fingers. Never knew that. That would be sweet if he was a guitarist...

They may not have been workable fingers though...

[ValeOfShadows]

I love lamp lol. Great movie.
