Rock and Metal's Slipknot Thread

[Sph]

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:
Hahah, you might like them again. Us MXers are influential people. *grabs power drill*

:evil:

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

They may not have been workable fingers though...
Read again Leukeh, they got amputated anyway.

[ValeOfShadows]

Actually i think ill give them a listen right now just for you guys.:p

[Sph]

Actually i think ill give them a listen right now just for you guys.:p
Awww, you're not supposed to give in that easy. *puts down power drill*

:upset:

[Untitled001]

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

Yes they are going to release a new one next summer... It may be released earlier or delayed until later I'm not too sure..

[ValeOfShadows]

hmmm people = **** iv always liked that song. And to whoever said that they tune there guitars to drop C i think they tune them lower.

[ValeOfShadows]

Ah and joeys fills are awesome. Ill secretly listen to them so my friends dont know about this affair.:naughty::lol:

[Sph]

They tune to B.

[ValeOfShadows]

Thats as low as you can go i think.

[ValeOfShadows]

Um King Jay whats does avatar mean.

[Sph]

Do you know Chris Poland from Megadeth? OHM: is his Jazz fusion band.

[ValeOfShadows]

No i only know Dave Mustain (not personally). What does Chris play.

[Leukeh]

Yes they are going to release a new one next summer... It may be released earlier or delayed until later I'm not too sure..
Where the hell did you hear that?:confused: Thats when Stone Sour are supposed to be releasing... I don't think Corey would do 2 albums at once.


KingJay: Yeah I saw that they got amputated, I was just imagining...

ValeOfShadows: Lowest I've heard of being used is Standard A (and you may be able to drop it to G!) but yeah, Slipknot is Drop B

It's a bitch to tune to without a chromatic tuner...

[Sph]

No i only know Dave Mustain (not personally). What does Chris play.
Poland did the lead guitar on the first two albums.

:smoke:

[ValeOfShadows]

Standard A. It probably all sounds the same tuned to that.

[Sph]

You can get 8 and 9 string guitars you know...

[ValeOfShadows]

no i dont play guitar. I only knew about 6,7 and 12.

[ValeOfShadows]

Anywayz back to the subject, SlipKnot are not that bad.

[Leukeh]

He's finally coming 'round :D


That was one easy convert...:D

Slipknot use low low tunings but standardly strung guitars! Don't know why but they do...


I'm off to bed... Bye MX:wave:

[paper2302]

They tune to A for some songs like "New Abortion", "Heretic Anthem", and "My Plague".

[Drunken Viking]

Slipknot tunes Drop D down 1&1/2 steps. Its then B-F-B-E-G#-C#.

[smart86]

for most songs it is around B, give or take half a tone. eg, spit it out tuning: Drop D down a further minor third (low to high:B, F#, B, E, G#, C#)

BTW its not so bad to tune if u have the correct strings, heave gauge of course (.055s - .013s ideally), otherwise the strings flop around like a bitch

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

what is it with everyone wanting to call slipknot nu-metal i dont think there that at all metal is metal

[Sph]

I never call them Nu-metal. What do you mean by 'metal is metal'?

[Aakon_Keetreh]

i really think nu-metal is dying

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

i dont see the point in calling something nu-metal yeh its diff. from i guess the old stuff or whatever but that doesnt make it any diff. if anyone knows what i mean and what im talking about

[Sph]

Punctuation man, punctuation.

[Drunken Viking]

What?

[Sph]

What?
You don't know what punctuation is? Bloody hell...

[Drunken Viking]

No, I meant what was that kid saying, I couldn't tell without him using punctuation and a clear thought process.

[King_Of_Terrors]

Punctuation man, punctuation.

Shes a chick, and she just types like that, get over it.

[Sph]

Shes a chick, and she just types like that, get over it.
Yeah, but even with correct punctuation it makes no sense.

[PepsiMetal]

(S)he means (s)he doesn't believe that slipknot are nu-metal, even though they are different from the older metal.

[Sph]

(S)he means (s)he doesn't believe that slipknot are nu-metal, even though they are different from the older metal.
Hmm, ok.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

yeah thats what im saying thanks

[TheTastyLettuce]

i really think nu-metal is dying

Wow you are quick!

[smart86]

the genres of metal have become a completely opinion based matter now, especially when the topic is the "definition of nu-metal". in my opinion, slipknot is metal, but i dont think it fits into the any of the "coventional genres" (black, death, industrial, thrash ect.) but i dont agree with the industry cramming slipknot, and any other band which may have even slight rap/ hip-hop or wateva , influences and cramming it all under a label, and the claiming "it isnt real metal"

[Drunken Viking]

Who said that Slipknot isn't "real metal", they are Nu-Metal, but that is a kind of metal.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

dont most people bash nu-metal

[Sph]

Yes they do. I still stand by my opinion that Slipknot aren't nu-metal.

[blackthorne]

dont most people bash nu-metal

i dont know what slipknot is. but my definiton of nu metal is: limp bizkit linkin park and that crap so i knock it alot with slipknot being the exception

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

same here i dont think slipknot is nu-metal at all i think there totally metal im not sure what genre to put them in tho someone help me out here

[Sph]

They're far too complex to be labelled nu-metal. I'm unsure what to call them.

[I'm Charming]

I agree. Technically thats the genre they find a home in but,

When you think of what nu metal is and who "is nu metal", slipknot isn't.

I guess just plain old metal...

I listened to Vol:3 last night... Pretty solid.

[PepsiMetal]

Yes they do. I still stand by my opinion that Slipknot aren't nu-metal.

If they were underground people would probably call them rap metal or something like that. But obviously when a band reaches success, they'll become nu-metal. That's how it is on these forums at least. lawl

On these boards, metallica has become nu-metal, and I'd be damned if St. anger sounds anything like papa roach or limp bizkit. Oh well.

It doesn't sound much better than papa roach or limp bizkit... Thats for sure.:p

[BigMike_Quebec_Canada]

Sorry to ask this...but i was wondering.

has anyone in this thread done any video's/audio's of them playing slipknot? i dont really feel like going through all 85 page's lol.

[PepsiMetal]

It doesn't sound much better than papa roach or limp bizkit... Thats for sure.:p

It does to me. If either of those bands made st. anger, I would think the album was amazing for who made it.

has anyone in this thread done any video's/audio's of them playing slipknot? i dont really feel like going through all 85 page's lol.

Them playing slipknot? What?

If you mean if anyone has any slipknot vids, then I do. You can view some online at youtube.com.

[TemperamentalGoat]

Back to the thread. I've uploaded another rendition of Slipknot's Vermillion 2. This one IMO is absolutely amazing.. blows the original out of the water in its contrast, timing, mood, balance of heavy/soft verses. Definitely the best song I've heard in 2006 so far.

http://s14.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=15V84778PTQZ60WU021EGGWP74

Enjoy

[Spaztikated]

I'm surprised this thread hasnt finished yet, usualy everyone gets shot down after the first 10 replies, but slipknot do have SOME talent, they are nu-metal though so don't think you hardcore for listening to them, ive only really heard People=****, Volume 3 The Subliminal Versus and Joeys drum solo, but ive heard alot better, i dont mind slipknot, but theres alot better. what is sad is alot of people think they are cool just because they can switch time signatures in the middle of a song, for christ sake, METALLICA do that, and they arent even heavy.... i suggest getting onto better bands such as Soilwork, Pantera or Opeth, and if you want a laugh listen to System of a Down, they have pretty good lyrics, i think they were stoned to write most of there songs though, anyway cya

There are better bands than opeth, pantera, soad, and soilwork, so what is your point?

It is all subjective, so what you think is best, might not be same for 10 millions of other people. OK?

Anyways, check out my plague vid. They took shots from resident evil, which was a pretty good movie. Second one sucked balls though. lol

Did they actually make that or was that remixed by someone else? I like original better since it has nice acoustic guitars.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

i think more peple should listen to slipknot there a great band dont know why they get dissed so much

[PepsiMetal]

They get dissed cause lots of their fans are childish and always say slipknot are best band, joey is best drummer, mick is best guitarist, corey is best singer, etc... In reality, it's all subjective, so saying one person is best or greatest as a fact is false as that's impossible because it's subjective. And since slipknot has many fans, most people start hating the band for the fans. Same thing is with metallica, and few other bands.

[I'm Charming]

i think more peple should listen to slipknot there a great band dont know why they get dissed so much


They are one of the best nu metal bands..... But honestly I don't think they are a "great" band... A good listen, sometimes... Yes.... Great band, no.


They get made fun of because they have alot of really dumb fanboys/fangirls.

They refer to their fans as the larva of flies... That's lovely...

All in all.... They are enjoyable in small/medium amounts.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

yeah i dont listen to them that much but there still good and shouldnt get dissed and i know what your saying about there fans saying that joey is the greatest drummer and so forth but still

[PapaSmurfed]

dont most people bash nu-metal

Yeah... I saw this just now and just wanted to comment on it. Yeah people bash on Nu-Metal and all, but it's really nothing to be bashed on. If you look up Nu-Metal, it's just a type of genre of Metal in which the bass parts are the main focus, the lyrics are usually sung in a rapping style, and the guitar isn't the main part in the songs. This is why most do not like Nu-Metal or consider it to be 'true metal' because most Nu-Metal does not involve a wide range of guitar solos or solos at all, which other Metal genres do include. So really, this genre of music shouldn't be bashed like it normally is, it is just another sense of music that should be appreciated by others. I don't know, that's just my opinion on this.

[Sleeper]

I hate the term Nu-Metal.

I think it's more accurate to define nu-metal by its influences rather than trying to pinpoint an actual "sound." I don't know whether the bass parts are the main focus in nu-metal; I think the riffs are definitely very low, that may be what you mean. You're right about hip-hop, but it's not a rule by any means, but nu-metal is still, first and foremost, metal. When a lot of very heavy metal bands became popular at one time, people tried to put them all into one category and cited the low-tunings, the fusion of metal and grunge, the hip-hop beats and half-rapped vocals of some bands. Nu-metal is a mixed bag, and you have to be pretty general to put System of a Down, the Deftones, Korn and Slipknot in the same genre.

[Leukeh]

i think more peple should listen to slipknot there a great band dont know why they get dissed so much

They get dissed so much because they are one of the forefront bands of nu-metal. Alot of people just have a general disliking towards nu-metal, and use Slipknot as an example of everything bad. They also hate the idea of wearing masks.

And their fanatical fans also turn people off. I must admit, their fans overrate them a bit, but they are a great band.

[ValeOfShadows]

Mudvayne is and always will be my most favourite Nu-Metal band always. But ive decided not to bash other Nu-Metal bands just because i dont like the genre.e.g Korn, Slipknot and SOAD.

[Sph]

The term Nu-metal is too generic. Slipknot and Linkin Park can not be placed in the same genre. Also, System Of A Down should really be called progressive metal, shouldn't they?

[ValeOfShadows]

I dont think Linkin Park is Metal. Whats so metal about them. They rap. And tune to drop D but so do a thousand other bands that arent metal. Oh and yes new SOAD = (crap)Prog Metal

[Sph]

Most SOAD = (good) Prog metal. That's my opinion, as subjective as it may be. And Linkin Park are classified as metal, unfortunately.

I also (IMO) don't think Slipknot are nu-metal.

[ValeOfShadows]

Oh i definately think that Slipknot are Nu-Metal. They fit the genre perfectly. Sorry about the SOAD comment i just dont like them anymore.

[Sph]

How do they fit the genre perfectly? They do a bit of rap in some songs but that's the only similarity I can see.

[ValeOfShadows]

No like there riffing and song structure.And lyrics. And guitar tunings. And vocals. Nu-Metal isnt rapping.

[Sph]

Nu-metal usually involves rapping. I admit, Slipknot are similar to nu-metal, but not quite. They're just metal, in fact if you look at their riffing and song structure, it only strengthens my point. The riffs, solos and drums are far too complex too be considered nu-metal.

[ValeOfShadows]

I agree about drums. But if we go into riffing then it also takes Mudvayne out of the genre for drumming too! Mudvayne has more complex structure than Slipknot will ever have!

[Sph]

I agree about drums. But if we go into riffing then it also takes Mudvayne out of the genre for drumming too! Mudvayne has more complex structure than Slipknot will ever have!
I always found Mudvayne rather simple and mundane.

You play drums I guess.

[ValeOfShadows]

yeh i do. But you must admit they are more complex than Slipknot after all they do get called Math Metal.

[PepsiMetal]

I think Slipknot are nu-metal. Mainly because no solos/short solos, simple riffs, and a DJ, which nu-metal bands like limp bizkit have.

Still, nu-metal should be broken up, Limp Bizkit and Slipknot sound totally different, mainly because of Joey's Drumming and Corey's rapping.

yeh i do. But you must admit they are more complex than Slipknot after all they do get called Math Metal.

Yea their drumming seems more diverse, but slipknot's has some nice speedy double bass action. Actually I don't know who'se more complex, slipknot's seems more to me. :confused: I suck at this.

[I'm Charming]

FTW.

SOAD are devoid of any talent and are nu metal.

end/

They are NOT prog metal.

prog metal = Dream Theater and Into Eternity, etc.

Opeth is prog metal/prog death metal.

Other then Slipknot and Mudvayne... nu metal is to be forgotten.

[PepsiMetal]

I like soad alot better than slipknot and mudvayne combined. Their music is more diverse and every album shows different stuff. Well kind of.

[Riva]

The term Nu-metal is too generic. Slipknot and Linkin Park can not be placed in the same genre. Also, System Of A Down should really be called progressive metal, shouldn't they?

Why is SOAD progressive metal? They repeatedly reuse musical elements.

SOAD have more talent than Slipknot, I think. And Deftones are a far better band in terms of sound and talent.

[PepsiMetal]

I'd rather classify them speed metal than prog metal. But they have some elements from nu-metal also, so speedy nu-metal. ;)

SOAD have more talent than Slipknot, I think.

Yea I think so too except drummers seem kinda equal. One is faster, while other one comes up with better and more effective beats.

[ValeOfShadows]

I like soad alot better than slipknot and mudvayne combined. Their music is more diverse and every album shows different stuff. Well kind of.

Ssaying that both Sli8pknot and Mudvayne have evolved into different sounds.

[PepsiMetal]

Yea but they've all stayed heavy while soad has come up with many power balads, and have used greek-type riffs plus they don't sound as raw as they did on first album. Most slipknot's songs sound very similar. And I'm not as familiar with mudvayne's discography, but what I have heard wasn't much different than slipknot except their music is alot less distorted.

[Sph]

Why is SOAD progressive metal? They repeatedly reuse musical elements.
What would you class them as? They may not be prog metal but they're certainly not nu-metal.

[guitrguy]

What would you class them as? They may not be prog metal but they're certainly not nu-metal.
Oh they are definatly nu-metal. Nu-metal is vast genre. They do nothing that would make them progressive.

SOAD doesn't sound like Slipknot who doesn't sound like the Deftones who doesn't sound like Mudvayne, but they are all nu-metal.

[ValeOfShadows]

Yeh they are definately numetal. Its the closest genre to them.

[I'm Charming]

Oh they are definatly nu-metal. Nu-metal is vast genre. They do nothing that would make them progressive.

SOAD doesn't sound like Slipknot who doesn't sound like the Deftones who doesn't sound like Mudvayne, but they are all nu-metal.

Thanks for setting the record straight. :thumb:

[Sph]

But alot of bands who are classed as nu-metal aren't even metal! Nu-metal is too vast. How the hell can Slipknot, SOAD, and Linki Park be in the same genre?

[I'm Charming]

But alot of bands who are classed as nu-metal aren't even metal! Nu-metal is too vast. How the hell can Slipknot, SOAD, and Linki Park be in the same genre?

Good point there.

Slipknot could be rap metal or towards that.. Sorta like RATM except way less talented.

Linkin park I guess could be hip hop or cloes to it.

SOAD is just worthless, lol. alt rock sorta in the category of chevelle and breaking benjamin or staind?

[ValeOfShadows]

I dont classify linkin Park as metal simple as that.

[Sph]

SOAD doesn't sound like Slipknot who doesn't sound like the Deftones who doesn't sound like Mudvayne, but they are all nu-metal.
If they aren't similar at all, they can't be in the same genre.

A category of artistic composition, as in music or literature, marked by a distinctive style, form, or content
Nu-metal defeats the purpose of being a genre.
Good point there.

Slipknot could be rap metal or towards that.. Sorta like RATM except way less talented.
They don't use rap that much. I'd just call them metal.

Linkin park I guess could be hip hop or cloes to it.
Agreed.

SOAD is just worthless, lol. alt rock sorta in the category of chevelle and breaking benjamin or staind?
I like SOAD, but they're hard to classify. They have alot of different styles and influences in their music.

[Riva]

Nu-metal is a wave, or movement, like NWOBHM. Compare Def Leppard to Iron Maiden, for instance. It isn't a genre, per se.

We had grunge, then nu metal and now pop punk is the "trendy" type of music.

By the "nu metal" time I mean.

Back when limp bizkit was so popular and such.

[Sph]

If it's a movement, that brings up an interesting question. When will it end? Has it ended? Alot of bands classed as 'Nu-metal' today are completely different than nu-metal bands ten years ago. Maybe it has finished?

[ValeOfShadows]

^^And Metalcore.

[Porcupine_F*cker]

Ok, I know you guys arn't very keen on the bashing of bands... BUT THIS IS ****ING SLIPKNOT! YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!! ASIDE FROM THE DRUMMER, THIS IS ONE OF THE LEAST TECHNICAL LEAST TALENTED BANDS OUT THERE!!! When I was in my Nu Metal phase they were cool, but that was years ago.

[ValeOfShadows]

^^Thats great. Thanx for your insight.:rolleyes: You just joined the 500 other people that came in here just to bash them.

Yep, thanks for contributing the sensible discussion. Your words will have deep meaning, i'm sure.

**** you. So you don't like Slipknot? Get out of the damn thread then. And stay out. So they're not that technical - who said it has to be technical? Simplicity is fine. And they can be technical, it's just they don't need to be to please their fans. They are obviously talented - if they wern't how did they get a ****ing record deal, and reach platinum at least once with all of their albums? Just because you don't like them, it doesn't mean nobody else should, and those who do are retards. You are the retard for not accepting others opinions. Get the **** out.

[Porcupine_F*cker]

500 peoples enough to get this thread taken off the site. I personally think Slipknot should be one of the site's banned words.:smash:

That is the most fallacious argument ever. Is Ashley Simpson talented? No, then how did she get even greater commercial success? Is Slipknot better than say Testament, or Napalm Death, Arch Enemy, or less popular bands, simply because they sell better? Absolutely not. In fact, I argue because they tone down aand play such simple ****, tjhey are only more accesible to a widescale audience who can't appreciate good music.

Even if I thought Slipknot was slightly enjjoyable, there are thousands of bands who are simply so much better out there, they arn't even worth my time.

[ValeOfShadows]

^^If they arent worth your time why are you in here talking about them. **** off.

[Porcupine_F*cker]

^^If they arent worth your time why are you in here talking about them. **** off.

Perhaps I'm trying to enlighten others on what good metal is? Why do you ****ers get so uptight about people coming down on your bands. Try to defend them or something, but don't just say "get the **** out" thats retarded.

[ValeOfShadows]

I personally dont really like this band but i've learnt that it isnt fair to say to people that their taste in music is wrong because they dont listen to what i listen to.

Hey. Dumb ****. Ashley Simpson can sing. If she couldn't, then how did she ever become successful? Sure, Slipknot may play easier stuff that the bands you mentioned, but that doesn't mean they suck. They are an awesome band. You can't get to be as well known and popular as they are by sitting on your *** doing **** all. They make music. Good music. I don't care if you like it or not, just stop bagging them out. The quality of music depends on opinion. I like them, you don't. Don't be a fag about it. Just stay out of the damn thread and don't be so pig headed.

It's called a ****ing opinion! If you don't like them then get the **** out of the thread! What you're doing is a bannable offense, leave now.

[Porcupine_F*cker]

Hey. Dumb ****. Ashley Simpson can sing. If she couldn't, then how did she ever become successful? Sure, Slipknot may play easier stuff that the bands you mentioned, but that doesn't mean they suck. They are an awesome band. You can't get to be as well known and popular as they are by sitting on your *** doing **** all. They make music. Good music. I don't care if you like it or not, just stop bagging them out. The quality of music depends on opinion. I like them, you don't. Don't be a fag about it. Just stay out of the damn thread and don't be so pig headed.

Ashley Simpson Lip Sychnng innacurately on Saturday Night Live is a testaament to how talentless she is.

Oh damn straight you can. http://www.nintendorks.com/brandon/archives/000475.php

I'm jjust trying to tell people, listen to some new bands. DOn't be sold on this one band becaause it's the best thing you know of. Check out Carcass, Morbid Angel, Deicide, Vader, Bathory, Testament, Napalm Death, and other bands not as popular but so mjuch more proficient than Slipknot, before commiting yourself to become there loyal searvant.

I was a Slipknot fan too, but then I simply found BETTER music. And I want people to experience that change too. The difference is I have exposure to both Death Metal and Nu Metal. Most Nu Metal fans have not the slightest knowledge of Death Metal.

Hey ****tard. Grow a ****ing dick. Where the hell did you get the idea that we listen to Slipknot and ONLY Slipknot. Go **** yourself man. I listen to most of the bands you just mentioned. And a hell of alot more. Iron Maiden, Marilyn Manson, Dimmu Borgir, Rage Against The Machine, Dragonforce - you name it, I'll listen to it if it sounds good. I, along with most others, don't give a **** if what a band plays is easy or hard or whatever, if it sounds good, listen to it. We have different opinions on what sounds good (obviously) so how about you go listen to what you think sounds good, and I'll listen to what I think sounds good. But leave this thread before you get banned.

And Even if you do, all my friends who like them wouldn't have which is my point. The Majority of Slipknot fans in my opinion, only know bands that are accesible to them on Fuse and MTV2 and I find that really unfortunate.

THIS IS MY POINT!!! SAVE MAIDEN, THE REST OF THOSE BANDS ARE WATERED DOWN VERSIONS OF THERE FOUNDING GENRE'S THAT YOU ONLY KNOW BECAUSE THEY'RE AAT OZZFEST. MILLIONS OF BETTER BLACK METAL BANDS THAN DIMMU BORGIR, MILLIONS OF BETTER BANDS THAN MARILYN MANSON. My point is you only like them because they are easy to access for you.

OK heres me: Never been to Ozzfest, never even seen a lineup. Don't get MTV2 or any of that ****.

I never said Dimmu Borgir was the only black metal band I listen to. They were a band that came to my head. So what? BETTER is only in your opinion. What is BETTER in my opinion will most definitely be different to what is BETTER in your opinion. I can listen to what I like, and I should be able to listen to it without ****s like you trying to stop me, just because I have a different opinion on things. The "easy access" thing is complete and total bullshit. They don't play metal on the radio around here. Metal is never on T.V. - I have to go looking for these bands. You mentioned Carcass before. It just so happens I'm listening to them right now.

Grow up and stop being a dick to people who have different opinions. The world would suck hard if everybody had the same opinions. Especially if they were the same as yours.

And you would be the one getting banned, not I, or anyone else, because you are being the childish one and bagging out a band and intentionally starting an argument.

It's all opinion whether you think a band is better or not, and also, Carcass Morbid Angel and Napalm Death are very popular, you would have a hard time finding a metalhead on these boards who hasn't heard of two out of three of those bands.

Thank god he got banned. I was waiting for that.

\hats off to bartender


He was doing that flaming in other threads to, just not as much.


Slipknot isn't my fav band, I point out their flaws as well as their good sides.

There should be a trial time for membership.

2 weeks, if you pass... Your membership becomes perm.

i have tryed playing certain parts but i cant quite get all the parts down

[PepsiMetal]

Yea but they could just ask ok during those 2 weeks, and become idiots after that. Bannage works better.

Anyways,
I don't see new slipknot album coming out any time soon considering corey has said he's working on new stonesour album.

i have tryed playing certain parts but i cant quite get all the parts down

You need to have some good double bass speed to play most of joey's beats since that's what he uses most of the time. I'm not a drummer, but that's what it sounds like it's most important in slipknot's beats.

I dl "Disasterpieces" DVD. It's pretty sweet except coreys voice is majorly lacking in most of it. He just doesn't have a great live voice.

The band and crowd show amazing energy though and joeys drum solo is pretty cool.

From what ive heard of him live i think he does really good

[Huber]

Sometimes Corey tries to hard and these high pitched uncontrolled screams come out that sound terrible. The more raspy kind of voice though is spot on sometimes. I just think he's got some work to do with his voice ever since he lost what he had on Iowa.

[o0o_tylor_o0o]

I don't know if this has been talked about or whatever, but I'm stating what I think...

Slipknot are the band I hate the most out of all bands. I have many good reasons.

Lack of Talent/Originality -

I don't think Slipknot are talented at all. I've heard people say "ooo, Mick really shreds". Go listen to some Jason Becker or something, and then try to tell me Mick can shred. I've looked at numerous Slipknot tabs and they all digust me. So many people also so Joey is really good at drums. I'm a drummer, and I hear nothing special from him. In fact I don't even think he's that great or original with his drumming. Also, there's the lyrics and song meanings. Most of Slipknot's songs are about depression and suicide, typical nu-metal style. It makes me sick

The Whole 9 Member Thing -

This actually makes me laugh. I find it really funny how Slipknot can have 9 members and play as poorly as they do. I can think of countless bands that sound better than slipknot and play with 5, 4 or even 3 members. I don't get why they need two percussionists, they don't add anything to the music. I saw Duality live on Leno and one of them hit a garbage can. Now that's talent. The whole sampler and DJ thing is stupid too. Jordan Rudess from Dream Theater does all of their samples and plays the keyboard like a god at the same time. Slipknot could have two members and be just about as good. I make better music by myself than Slipknot does with 9 people.


Bad Influence -

Slipknot is typical whiny nu-metal. They are making kids more "depressed" then they already were by making them think life is so hard. I see tons of Slipknot fans that are all dressed in black with chains and spikes and make up. Goth kids make me angry. Suck it up and get a life. Listen to some real metal.

Gimmick -

The MASKS. Wow, you don't want to be recognized in public, big deal. Pay the price for being famous. Maybe if they get rid of those silly costumes they can make some good music while they are at it.

Anyway, I don't want to go on much longer, the fact is Slipknot is bad for you.

ok first off, not talented? go listen to vermillion pt. 2, circle, or any stone sour and tell me Corey cant sing.im not really into that melodic stuff but its still proof that he can sing! joey is awesome at drums, i dont care what you say. but you're right about one thing, Mick makes me want to puke, anyone who says he's good needs to take a look at some slipknot tabs. there is absolutely no talent involved there.
It may not be technical, BUT IT STILL SOUNDS GOOD!

How can they not be original? i've never seen or heard any band like them before. they're pretty much the only nu-metal band i like.

If you're influenced by the lyrics of songs then you're an idiot. IT'S MUSIC. they're not a band you should take to heart. some things do make a point and give you something to consider, but its not something you should live your life by. its just something to bang your head to, and slipknot provides it.

The masks aren't something to hide behind. they do it to draw attention and to be heard. and they put their music first, BEFORE the masks and costumes.

im not crazy about slipknot and dont consider myself a big fan im just giving credit where it needs to be givin. they ARE a good band.

oh and i agree with you on the goth thing

[PepsiMetal]

When did MbMDrumMachine post that message? I didn't see it on last 2 pages. Shouldn't have replied to it man.

But I agree with you on most of those points.

[Huber]

Some of the guys points are true, but they don't bother me so much to make me want to not listen.

However, just because Jason Becker is a better guitarist doesn't make Mick Thompson a bad one.

I'd also say a percussion section is original. Yeah, it's irrelevant sometimes, but I think that there's some songs that just would not have the same drive without it. The tribal idea for some of the songs was really pushed with the percussionists and made it work.

Calling the masks a gimmick is a little unfair. You do not know whether they put them on in the first place to gain more fans or not. But I bet I do that they were thinking it'd be more entertaining, and make things a little different then a bunch of normal looking metal heads headbanging like almost any other metal band.

edit: Just realized his post wasn't recent. Oops.

[PepsiMetal]

Funny thing I read on some message board about 2 years ago. People were discussing slipknot and they thought slipknot had like 200+ members who toured at different times and that's why they wear masks.

Heh

[comptonassrobert]

I like slipknot, as they were one of my gateway-metal bands. And although I hardly listen them anymore due to the 500+ new cds from different artists in the past years, I'll still pop in their S/T from time to time because I think it was a solid album. Prosthetics is an amazing song.

:)

[Sleeper]

Yes, Slipknot is a band that opened the door to other types of metal and music for me. I'm not as big of fan as i used to be, but they will always be a favorite of mine.

[Drunken Viking]

I know this was an old message but I have to get some things off my chest.

What do you mean not original? How many bands can you name have a drumming section, not just a drummer? The fact that Jason Becker can play his instrument better doesn't mean Mick sucks, just because John Myung is a better bassist then Ryan Martinie does that make him suck? NO! I rarely hear anyone say that Joey is amazing at drums, Almost everyone I know who is educated thinks that he is nothing special, and everyone on these boards thinks the same. And about the lyric thing, just because they talk about what they feel doesn't make them bad lyricists, it just makes you think that, but you and everyone are different people.


The Whole 9 Member Thing -

This actually makes me laugh. I find it really funny how Slipknot can have 9 members and play as poorly as they do. I can think of countless bands that sound better than slipknot and play with 5, 4 or even 3 members. I don't get why they need two percussionists, they don't add anything to the music. I saw Duality live on Leno and one of them hit a garbage can. Now that's talent. The whole sampler and DJ thing is stupid too. Jordan Rudess from Dream Theater does all of their samples and plays the keyboard like a god at the same time. Slipknot could have two members and be just about as good. I make better music by myself than Slipknot does with 9 people.

I don't think there is a number nine in the group, I think the numbers stop at 8, but anyway every single member of Slipknot does his part, Clown the DJ and the other percusionest do their part, they help keep the beat in some songs, deliver backing vocals, and they get the crowd going at gigs. The band needs to feed off something live, and they just help. I highly dought that you can make better music then them, you proably can't scream or sing, and if you can you proably aren't profiecient at gutiar, drums, vocals, bass, lyrics.

Bad Influence -

Slipknot is typical whiny nu-metal. They are making kids more "depressed" then they already were by making them think life is so hard. I see tons of Slipknot fans that are all dressed in black with chains and spikes and make up. Goth kids make me angry. Suck it up and get a life. Listen to some real metal.Just because people want to dress in black or whatever doesn't mean they are goth. I wear black shirts and jeans almost every day and I am not goth. What don't you take your own advice and suck it up and learn to accept people for who they are, not what they wear. And I'm sure most of those kids listen to all types of metal, I listen to Black Metal, Death Metal, Grindcore, Rock, and Slipknot.

Gimmick -

The MASKS. Wow, you don't want to be recognized in public, big deal. Pay the price for being famous. Maybe if they get rid of those silly costumes they can make some good music while they are at it.

Anyway, I don't want to go on much longer, the fact is Slipknot is bad for you.Yeah, cause we all know that the masks is what's making them all not up to your level of "real metal". The reason that Slipknot wears masks is because they feel that it should about the music, not about being recognized. And you saying Slipknot is bad for you is crap, just because you don't like them cause your to hardcore for them doesn't mean everyone is, lets face it your the kinda kid who only listens to brutal death metal and raw black metal.

[Crysiss]

Why you bringing up the mudvayne bassist man? lol

[Drunken Viking]

To make a point that because one guitarist is better then another doesn't mean the one that isn't as good sucks.

[Crysiss]

Oh i see, I thought that you were trying to refer to the slipknot bassist.

[Drunken Viking]

Nope, he made a point that because Jason Becker was better then Mick meant that Mick sucked, so I brought up that Myung is more talented then Martinie but that doesn't neccesarily mean that Martinie sucks to combat that.

[Moses]

Myung sounds like computer graphics.

[Drunken Viking]

Is that bad or good?

[Moses]

I don't know.

[ghettoeddo]

oh it's good.
it's GOOOOD.

[Drunken Viking]

I just thought of something, graphics don't make sounds, do they?

[Moses]

I just thought of something, graphics don't make sounds, do they?
Nope. But if I had to compare it to one thing, that's what it would sound like.

[Drunken Viking]

Ahh I see, I can't really hear his bass most of the time though.

Anyone else think it's odd we're talking about computers and John Myung in a Slipknot thread?

[ghettoeddo]

yea let's take it to the DT thread.

[Leukeh]

I don't think there is a number nine in the group, I think the numbers stop at 8

I realize your all for Slipknot here, but I need to make a correction xD

The numbers do only reach 8, but they start at 0, to there is 9 of them =P

-----------------

Anyway, Slipknot was the band that got me into metal. they were all I listened to for ages, just because I loved them so much. They are still my number 1 band, but I listen to other stuff now as well. Any sub-genre of metal is fine with me.

And I love Coreys voice. Amazing singing and screaming on his part.

It seems to me that all anyone can think of to knock Slipknot is that they wear masks (as if that effects what they sound like), they are talentless (talentless people would't be able to get a record deal) or that they aren't technical (so go listen to your technical music if thats all you want to listen to - Slipknot could be technical if they wanted to, but they don't want to make technical music)

They make music that appeals to some, and not to others.


Slipknot - Either loved or hated, but never ignored.

ATTENTION ALL SLIPKNOT F A G G O T S

Slipknot... What a horrible horrible band. I mean not just from the standpoint that they suck balls musically but the fact that with each new album they get ****tier. Let me Explain:

Ok first off, there are 9 people in the band. Who the **** ever herd of 9 people in a ****ing band? Two drummers? and one who just bangs his head around for most of the time? Nobody is even a worthy musician I think they go by the "If we play loud and scream alot people wont realize we all suck" stance.

They have made three albums and havent advanced musically in any of them. They have still stayed the same screaming, ****ty band they have always been. The only thing close to musical talent in that band is the lead guitarist but still, any real metal guitarist could easily play any of there songs.

Second they are not respected by any of the metal community. I believe they have been around since the early 90's and there has never been a tribute or any one saying "I was really influenced by Slipknot" just a bunch of F A G G O T Nu Metal kids saying how metal they are. THEY ARE NOT ****ING METAL. They are complete ****. But since I am a nice person I will leave you with some examples of good solid metal:

Burzum- Burzum/Aske (EP)
Mayhem- Deathcrush
DarkThrone- A blaze in the Northern Sky
Bathory- Under the Sign of the Black Mark
Abigor- Supreme Immortal Art
Graveland-Celtic Winter

Enjoy.

christ. No one cares about your black metal bands anyway. Stop listening to music because you think it's "cool" or "hardcore", listen to what you like. There is merit to Slipknot, strange but true. They aren't revolutionary or highly respectable; far from it. They just write decent songs here and there and there is no reason to toss that aside because the "metal community" disrespects them.

Anyway, does anyone still want to hear the re-tooling of Vermillion 2 on the underworld OST? I'll upload it again if anyone wants. It's consistently always been on my playlist for the past few weeks, it's just one hell of an improvement over the original. The instrumentals and loud/soft dynamics are, well, epic.

[Sph]

THEY ARE NOT ****ING METAL.
I actually somewhat respected your opinion, despite calling the majority of this threads posters 'faggots', until I read this. If you do not have the mental capacity to accept the fact that Slipknot are metal, then take your ****ed up logic elsewhere.

I find humorous that Slipknot haters always attempt to 'educate' us on 'real' metal bands. Why the **** do you assume we don't already listen to those bands? I, and i'm sure I speak for many other Slipknot fans, love Burzum, Mayhem and Bathory.

If you dislike Slipknot gtfo of the thread. Pretty simple, huh?

Although, you forgot to point out to this douche, that Slipknot has made 5 albums, not 3. Maybe he should get his basic facts right before stating his unwelcome opinion. Also, maybe he should get a life, instead of pissing people off by insulting bands people like. And he should also get his head out of his arse.

I know of mate feed kill repeat, S/T, Iowa and Vol 3, but what is the fifth?

I don't listen to slipknot very often anymore, but, like a lot of posters here, Slipknot got me into 'heavier','extremer' music, and that is IMO the main reason why bands like slipknot should exist; without gateway-bands Metal can be a bit inaccessible, I think.

I don't listen to Slipknot much either, these days. :-\

Calling the masks a gimmick is a little unfair. You do not know whether they put them on in the first place to gain more fans or not. But I bet I do that they were thinking it'd be more entertaining, and make things a little different then a bunch of normal looking metal heads headbanging like almost any other metal band.QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure they put the masks on to copy off of Mushroomheads idea. Alot of the masks were even similar to Mushroomheads masks when they first started.

You know, I don't like Sipknot myself, but that was just dumb. Music is subjective, it's opinion. There is no "good" or "bad" music. I don't see why having alot of people in band is a bad thing, in fact, it seems a good way to make new interesting sounds. Also, about not being respected in the metal community, who cares? Nobody should listen to music just because other people do. Please grow up.

False.

He is talented. If you deny that then you are just blindly saying so because you're scared your cool points will go down. He's definetly outdone by other drumming giants these days, but that doesn't mean he is bad.

Just because he isn't the best drummer in the world doesn't make him bad, I think he is an excellent drummer, but I just like his style.

I only recently (in fact, earlier this week) heard Slipknot's music for the first time. Even though their detuned guitar riffs and double bass drumming are a clichè that my bassist and I enjoy laughing at (along with other clichès from every other genre), I actually enjoyed their music after listening to it. They really do have talent and are better than many modern semi-mainstream metal/heavy bands.

Anyway, so, random Slipknot basher dude, I'm surprised at how you can tune Slipknot like that, and then in the same breath tell us how awesomely talented a bunch of LotR fanboys in black spandex playing Celtic music on axe-shaped plastic guitars are, when they sing of the Dragonlord Rognar and his fearsome army of half-trolls. Grow up.

[Ve Das]

Quorthon was a million times more talented than ANY member of Slipknot. It´s not only technical skill I´m talking about here, but compositional. As for Varg, he was insane, but in his twisted psyche lies an amazing artist.

Hmmm, Darkthrone, Mayhem and Graveland: Yeah, they suck now but back in the day they ruled supreme. Too bad they didn´t keep up to quality and are now releasing either mediocre or just plain shítty records.

Thing is: Don´t bash my music, random black-metal-bashing imbecile and I´ll refrain from bashing yours.
(you know that it WAS extremely stupid posting something like that right after I did,right?Cause I´m bound to look in and see how me compadre Kingjay replied...)

I was making a point, ie you can bash any genre of music because every genre of music contains stupid clichès, sell-outs who become famous, and wannabes. I don't really have anything against black metal (or whatever it is, I admit I don't know), I was just having a go at Dethroned-Emperror88 with all his Slipknot-bashing.

I don't even like Slipknot that much, they're just more interesting than Dope or Deftones (to me).

EDIT: "Random Slipknot basher dude" refers to Dethroned-Emperror88, not you.

The thing about slipknot for me is; their music isnt exactly bad, its just forgettable. ill listen to them for a day or two, and not care to listen to their music again for two or three months. Point aside, the b-side "get this" is amazing, and I add it to a lot of loud mix cd's I make.

First of all, I own or have listened to all of those albums, and they are not that great. I've actually heard quite a few bands say Slipknot influenced them, so get your facts straight.
Also, if you want to get technical, they have produced five albums(one un-released, so even saying four would be semi-accurate)
Thirdly, Slipknot is one of the biggest bands out there right now. No, not always the most popular, but definitely one of the biggest.
Also, how can you say that they aren't respected by the metal community? Please, I beg of you, tell me how you can say this?
Also, there is MUCH musical talent in that band. While not the greatest, Mick is one good guitarist, Corey is GREAT with both his screaming AND singing, Sid does great with the backup effects, and Joey Jordison is an incredible drummer.

So, you wanna talk about faggots? Why don't you try looking back through this thread a bit and realize that you sound just like any other moron who comes in here bashing Slipknot, and you fail at trying to make it look like you have a decent reason to say they suck.

Have you seen his drum solo? Where he cant keep time and keeps messing up? LOL, ya man he's really good. Slipknot on the self titled Cd was very unique, I expected great things from them, and then they release 2 more cd's that mostly sound the same imo, And on SV they add like 2 guitar solo's in that seem forced, like they had to prove to people that they can actually do it which seems kinda sad if it is true.

I think that Vol. 3 and Iowa are very different but that's just me, and the solo's don't sound forced, they had been trying to put them in since the beginning but their producer didn't like guitar solo's.

I reckon everyone bashes Slipknot because they think they are too "mainstream" and don't even bother listening to the music.

I used to like ST and Iowa. Then I picked up Vol: 3 and really liked it and still do. I dl MFKR(the one before corey) and it was great. Some neat jazz breaks and interesting hip hop style vocals.

Iowa is worthless IMO.

Vol: 3 is great.

ST is ehh.

MFKR is great.
