Rock and Metal's Slipknot Thread

[Tillius]

Has anyone heard the Vermillion pt. 2 Bloodstone Remix on the Underworld 2 soundtrack?

[Sleeper]

No i haven't, I didn't even know they were on that soundtrack. How is it?

[Tillius]

No i haven't, I didn't even know they were on that soundtrack. How is it?
It's pretty awesome. I can't decide if I like it or the original better.

[PepsiMetal]

They need to stop copying Mike Patton with the whole mask thing and learn how to construct a song.

Wow. :rolleyes:

MX has too many fags, there's no use making this thread active. I don't want to keep arguing with some hardcore 12 year old kids everytime because they just discovered black metal and think all other music is garbage. :smoke:

Has anyone heard the Vermillion pt. 2 Bloodstone Remix on the Underworld 2 soundtrack?

I think I heard it. Is it the one that has very quiet guitars. I preferred the original with louder acoustic guitars. Unless that was a different one.

[Drunken Viking]

Is it the same as the one on the Vol. 3 Special Eddition disc? That's the only other version I have.

[I'm Charming]

Why thank you. I can't take credit for it though, I saw Bobo's and knew that I had to have it.

I just took it. haha. :thumb:

[!MuDvAyNiAn!]

slipknot are very good:) thats it...

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

Im not as much of a fan as i used to be but yeah there good

[Crysiss]

I just took it. haha. :thumb:


I was laughing the first time I saw it. I was thinking of stealing it as well, But I know how its like when someone steals your avatars.:)

[Sleeper]

So i hear there's a new Stone Sour album coming out.

[I'm Charming]

So i hear there's a new Stone Sour album coming out.


I heard it's being released for some 6th grade graduation party.

[PepsiMetal]

So i hear there's a new Stone Sour album coming out.

Yup.

On their site it says they've completed like 16 tracks, so now they're just choosing which ones to use, and remixing will be done, etc... It will be done by Randy Staub (?) who supposedly mixed metallica's album also, not sure which one. Hopefully not the st. anger man. :)

Can't wait this one should be better than their first.

[Belfast Bassist]

Hey guys!! Im not really a slipknot fan, but i really liked one of their songs. problem is, i dunno what its called. In the video they all have their masks off, but you dont see their faces, and theyre playing indoors, one of them barefooted i think. If anyone could name it that would be class! cheers:chug:

[ultim8bassist]

I love slipknot. they r great musicians and the people generally underrate them because of the genre of music they r in.

Joey Jordison is an insane drummer, Corey Taylor is an awesome vocalist, and they have 2 great guitarists. The only members of the band i dont think r that great r Paul, and Sid and the clown and the pinnocchio lookin dude.

and craig doent even do anything realyy, he doesnt play ne music, at least not that i kno of.

other than that they r a great band and i own all of thier albums, i was very dissapointed wen i missed em at ozzfest 3 years ago.

[Benzum]

I think you are thinking of "Duality" or "Before I Forget"

Not their best :)

[Crysiss]

nope, it was Before I Forget

[ultim8bassist]

its called Before I Forget its on the new album. i suggest u check it out it is very new take on slipknot and it is easier on the not so heavy listeners.

[Crysiss]

Haha, I got it first. So does anyone know when their new album will be released?

[Belfast Bassist]

Cheers guys!

Ben: Duality is the only other song i like by them!

Crysiss: thanks for helping

ultim8bassist: i have Vol 3 (the subliminal verses), but to me most of it is musical crap, opium of the people has an appaling riff, and three nil is pretty annoying after a while. I'll be sure to check out the new album though. Whats it called?

[Crysiss]

Im not even sure if theres news of a new album yet, I was just waiting for the fan boys to reply.

[Belfast Bassist]

Ah right, guess ill just have to keep my eyes open then!

[Crysiss]

No, Id rather Just wait it out and not worry about it.

[Belfast Bassist]

Whatever floats yer boat!

[Tillius]

I can't wait until Slipknot comes out with a new album.

Ah, yes.
/waits

[MRDuCran]

It's going to be a while, The subliminal Verses was only last year right? And Corey is busy recording and touring with Stone Sour, who I'll be seeing at Download soon, maskless. :)

Also Shawn's band are at Download too.

booooooooo maskless will be kinda retarded ...... but thats just me dont get all pissed its only my opinion (and many others)
Slipknot - alright :cool:
Iowa - GOD :chug:
Vol III - horrible :angry:

[MRDuCran]

Err..ok.

[Thor]

Iowa - GOD :chug:

Wow, your opinions on their albums are completely different from mine. The self titled was pretty solid throughout, with a few flaws. Iowa struck me as completely average and seemed like a weaker repeat of the first the album. The lyrics on it were pretty dumb, too. Volume 3 is an album that I used to hate because of the band's sound change, but now I really enjoy it. They've finally matured into a good metal band and they're actually beginning to use their guitarists to their potential.

I have a feeling that the new album will be quite good and will finally give Slipknot the respect they deserve.

Definitley.

[Thor]

Haha, I got it first. So does anyone know when their new album will be released?
I read an interview in Bass Guitar magazine that had an interview with Paul and he said that they're going to take a break for a while. So my guess would not be for a while, which is a bummer.

It's understandable though, seeing as how they were on tour for an incredibly long time.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

Hey guys, not really a slipknot fan, but yeah Joey is a killer drummer. I went to a concert a while back and he did his upside down drumsolo, wow. I heard that Slipknot was done for though on Uranium, what's that all about?

[Thor]

There have been rumors of them breaking up for quite some time now, but that's not true. Even the band members have disproved that. They're just taking a break for a little while.

[gigi666]

Sure Volume 3 finally shows all their potential (and espicially the guitarists) but i (and quite a lot of older fans) prefer much more the old slipknot who used simple fast guitars riffs, harsh vocals with simple lyrics and fast drumming. Of course they have some of these elements in their new music but the heaviness/intensity is just missing but mark my words, this isn't a bad album at all!

[Thor]

Exactly. They took the things they needed to improve on, thus making a really good album. The only thing that I can complain about on Volume 3 is Corey's scream, which everyone knows isn't as good as his old one.

[Crysiss]

His old scream was Brutal.

I kind of think he would've ****ed him self over with it.

[gigi666]

no like many others, i dearly miss his screams and growls! have you any of you guys checked out stone sours "Reborn" video clip. Although his screams aren't the best, they're not bad

[Crysiss]

Is it new stone sour?

well i could agree with you but i liked self-titled better that Vol.III because i think by far its way to much like Stone Sour and im not a huge fan of them Iowa was by far their heavyest album and im a huge metalhead so i loved that cd :chug:

[Carrionshine]

I dont think that was Mick and Jim's full potential.It was, however, quite a step up from previous material.While Vol.3 was a very good album, I still think that it's main purpose was really to break down alot of barriers for future releases.I see them taking what they did on Vol.3, and completely taking it to a whole new level.At least, I'm hopefull of it.It would be quite a waste not to do so when the opportunity is there.

[Leukeh]

Hey guys, not really a slipknot fan, but yeah Joey is a killer drummer. I went to a concert a while back and he did his upside down drumsolo, wow. I heard that Slipknot was done for though on Uranium, what's that all about?

They're still together, they're just not producing anything at the moment - Some of them are currently working on side projects (Like Stone Sour) - once they're finished with this, they'll be back in full force :cool:

[Carrionshine]

That new Stone Sour song is pretty good.Its called 30/30-15 or something along the lines of that.

[Leukeh]

30/30 150
I can't get hold of a copy of it & haven't heard it... do you have it? Any chance of you uploading it?
leukeh@gmail.com

[BrodieBear]

hey folks. i don't normally post in here, so if this has been discussed at all, sorry guys. i'm just wonderin, before their last album was released, slipknot said they'd be breakin up after this album.
does anyone know if this happened? or was it completely ignored? or did they actually come out an d say that they're stayin together for the sake of the kids?

cheers folks.

-Brodiebear-

[AA-12]

Official Slipknot thread please.

[BrodieBear]

as in i should make one or there is one? like i said i don't normally post here sorry.

[BrodieBear]

never mind, just found it sorry.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I wouldn't bother man. No one posts in that thread anyway.

[MRDuCran]

I don't if they're breaking up, but they're all taking time off so Corey can do Stone Sour, and Shawn can do To My Suprise. Both bands play at Download Festival.

[Carrionshine]

You can stream it here.

News Flash: Get the **** out of the thread.

[Grumma]

Corey has gone on record saying he doesnt want to do SlipKnoT anymore, apparently because his vocal box is rooted to the sheisen

[Drunken Viking]

They aren't breaking up, they are simply taking a break.

[eug008]

Awsome their breaking up

[TEST]

Too bad. I wish they were breaking up.

He was also gonna leave, but we know how that ended up.

[Quiksilver26]

lol slipknot

[PepsiMetal]

I know Corey is touring with Stone Sour now. Jim is probably tour with them as well.

[Benzum]

I'm sure they will release at least one more record before calling it a day.

Hopefully Mick will do some solo guitar projects, I like his style

[Mr. Black]

They're on a break!

[superpeer]

Every time they say that it's pretty much a stunt to sell more records.

[jaredrl]

Break up you ****ty band.

[Benzum]

Break up you ****ty band.

Don't post.

[AA-12]

Yep. We all know how much they love money and sucking off everyone to get them to buy into their music, haha.

[Prince of Darkness]

Slipknot have a few cool songs like Opium to the People(I think that's the name...)

but overall, I'm not really a Slipknot fan. But fuk them. They copied Mr. Bungle with the masks.

[Benzum]

It was a good marketing ploy though, noone wants to watch 9, frankly quite normal looking people, who are getting on in age now throwing themselves around on stage, playing in unison....with the masks, it becomes whatever you want it to be.

Lordi win this thread

I wouldn't bother man. No one posts in that thread anyway.

According to Mick, Slipknot will begin writing new material as soon as the end of this year.

[Flie]

Can anyone here upload mate.feed.kill.repeat please?

[Grumma]

Way to bump a thread that hasnt been touched in 8 months

[NeverFading14]

So..what exactly is the attraction with slipknot?

[badtaste]

Can anyone here upload mate.feed.kill.repeat please?

haha... i would, but my internet limit sucks the balls.

So..what exactly is the attraction with slipknot?

The masks man definitely the masks. Seriously though, like most other metal/rock bands, their music sounds alright to some people (namely 13 year old kids and fat emos).

[christophicus]

haha... i would, but my internet limit sucks the balls.

So it doesnt apply to skinny emo's??

In all fairness though I'm 18 I love Slipknot. Mate feed kill repeat in particular is amazing, I know plenty of people that are in their mid twenties that listen to slipknot.

[Huber]

Whoa blast from the past I used to post in this thread a lot. I haven't given these guys a good listen in awhile.

[Invicta_Veritas]

I totally left Slipknot by the wayside when I got into more extreme metal. Then they came out with Vol. 3 and I completely turned away. They need to do something to capture my interest again.


Joey needs to start a death metal band.

[PsychoTronn]

i dont like slipknot but joey jordison was featured as the drummer in Ministrys newest and final album and it is quite good

[Grumma]

Joey needs to start a death metal band.

He tried playing/writing death metal on the RoadRunner United album and failed miserably

[Invicta_Veritas]

He tried playing/writing death metal on the RoadRunner United album and failed miserably

No, he tried collaborating with a bunch of other crappy artists trying to write songs that combined a zillion different horrible genres---excelled at it beautifully.


That entire album is crap. The concept was obviously doomed from the start. There is not one good song on that album.

[Huber]

Over exagerration much? That album wasn't bad at all.

[Grumma]

No, he tried collaborating with a bunch of other crappy artists trying to write songs that combined a zillion different horrible genres---excelled at it beautifully.

There's a couple.
But the ones with Joey Jordison weren't great (with the exception of the last song on the album which IMO was well written).
The Mikael Akerfeldt (sp?) ballad Roads was good, as was In The Fire

[badtaste]

I think it's just sad, thinking how good SLipknot could have been.

[whatduffhuck7]

best song by slipknot = Gently
(sic) close second. im not a huge slipknot fan but these two songs are quite good...

[Thor]

Oh my god I haven't seen this thread in forever.

Their new DVD sucks. Discuss.

[Invicta_Veritas]

Everything new from them sucks. Discuss.

[Thor]

Volume 3 is better than Iowa methinks. It's so much more mature.

[Invicta_Veritas]

More mature, yes. Better sounding, no.

[Thor]

Mate Feed Kill Repeat is pretty insane, too. Confessions is such a hot track.

[Angmar]

I agree, I saw it at a friends. The performance was pretty lame and they kinda suck live. Although I don't know if my opinion is valid since i don't really like Slipknot.

[Thor]

Their newer performances aren't nearly as good. Corey's voice is shot, Joey's drums sound funny and Sid doesn't jump off of huge amps anymore.

...which is why Disasterpieces is a really good DVD. That was when they were at the top of their game performance wise.

[Invicta_Veritas]

I really enjoy Iowa still. But it laid self titled to waste, and volume 3's production and overall sound was horrid.

I hate everything live from them, except some of disasterpieces.

[Grumma]

Their live sound is . . . idunno . . . messy?

Cos they've got so many instrumentalists it kinda sounds like a mash in some parts. And on 9:0 Live Corey sounds like he's drunk (cos of the mask Im presuming)

[Huber]

I was able to stand Corey's voice on 9.0, but seriously Disasterpiece is so much better it's sick.

[Invicta_Veritas]

I just think they've always sucked live. Period. The sound is fine, I just think they are sloppy as hell and Corey has never been a good live performer.

[Grumma]

Yeah idunno . . .

IMO the fact that they have 3 or 4 guitarists and 3 percussions doesn't help. But I spose orchestra's etc have shitloads or musicians and still sound good

[Invicta_Veritas]

I will always love the first half of Iowa and the first half of the Disasterpieces concert, but everything else is just horrid annymore IMO.

[Leukeh]

Corey's voice was kinda screwed on 9.0 Live because they took recordings from some of the last shows in the Vol. 3 tour... which was kinda dumb. So yeah. His voice was shattered. And if you've heard the new Stone Sour album, his voice has changed heaps - he can sing heaps better but he can't scream as well. Which is depressing... I liked his old scream.

Their old live stuff was awesome, but 9.0 Live kinda ruined it...

Oh, btw Grumma, they have 2 guitarists... which I don't have a problem with. Lead and rhythm is fine, but I do think 3 percussionists is a bit over the top. Joey is a great drummer, but the other 2 hit kegs with baseball bats XD Not sure if a sampler & a DJ is necessary either, but they do some pretty cool stuff... & they're part of what makes Slipknot so unique so meh...

[Grumma]

Could've sworn they had more then 2 guitarists . . .

So there's:
1 singer
3 percussionists
mr turntable man
bass player
2 guitarists . . .

That's only 8 . . . who's missing?

[Flie]

Theres a sampler dude as well.

[Grumma]

Wouldn't that be the same dude on turntables?

Or do they have 2 of those?

[Kulver]

Could've sworn they had more then 2 guitarists . . .

So there's:
1 singer

Keyboardist.

[Huber]

He's a sampler. You don't notice it but there is tons of sampling in Slipknot. He is not the DJ.

[Grumma]

Their DJ must be pretty **** if he can't do scratching and sampling

[badtaste]

He's a sampler. You don't notice it but there is tons of sampling in Slipknot. He is not the DJ.

They gave Craig the keyboards to tinkle on.

Go Slipknot and 2000th post.

Hey Leukeh, haven't seen you in a LONG time. Where have you been?

[Luc214]

Slipknot aren't bad actually. I enjoy some of their music.

I don't currently have any of their music right now, but I might get MFKR and their s/t again. Maybe Vol. 3 too, because I liked some songs off that.

I've never heard Iowa.

[Grumma]

There's only one song of theirs I like more than Iowa and that's Wait and Bleed.

Having said that I'm not a big fan

[i am the robots]

Corey's vocals suck now, they sucked back then. Get over it. Slipknot's musically decent.

[badtaste]

Go Slipknot. What does everyone think of middle aged men dressing up in masks and singing fairly amusing music?

Now is the best time for them to drop their **** and write decent music (BECAUSE I KNOW THEY CAN!!!). Yes. Seriously.

[Carrionshine]

Oh my god I haven't seen this thread in forever.

Their new DVD sucks. Discuss.

I dunno, I liked the interviews. The live performances were all from outdoor festivals, which I really didnt like too much.

[badtaste]

Haven't seen it, don't think I'll buy it any time soon. Any goss?

[Luc214]

They have some good songs. Three Nil is pretty cool.

[alytee123]

If they dropped the whole mask wearing stuff on the next release then it would be stupid cause it would've made it pointless all these years.

[Grumma]

But then we could listen to all the people bitch about them selling out :p (which IMO they wouldnt be).

Personally I think they just need to take a different direction/approach with their music. Maybe try a few different ideas. Softer songs, more progressive influenced songs etc etc

[Thor]

I'm sure that's what they'll do. They've probably come to realize that the nu-metal fad is gone and move on to more complex material.

What they'll do with Sid and Craig, I'm not really sure. It's not like Craig did anything to begin with, anyways.

[Mr. Ron]

I remember I was obsessed with them in 6th grade. I made a mask and everything. Oh to be young hahaha

[Thor]

Yeah, that takes me back to 8th grade, minus the mask. But I did have all of their CDs, DVDs, and 2 shirts.

[Kage]

Craig added awesome percussion to the band.

[Thor]

Craig was the sampler dude, and I rarely heard any samples. But at least he had the spikey gimp mask.

[Mr. Ron]

My favorite back in the day was 5 I think....the sample guy? I just liked the fact that he never really did anything lol.

[comptonassrobert]

Oh Slipknot, where have the self-titled and Iowa days gone :'[

[Kage]

Craig was the sampler dude, and I rarely heard any samples. But at least he had the spikey gimp mask.

Oh that's right. Yeah, I have no idea what he added. The only sample I can readily think of is that "Here comes the pain" or whatever from (sic). Although I think there are others buried in there now that I think about it.

I was thinking of Chris when I said that btw. He's got the coolest mask imo.

[Thor]

Chris had the crazy nose that he always felt the need to jerk off. :lol:

And I never got why Sid couldn't just do all the samples. He's a DJ...isn't that what they're supposed to do?

[Kage]

Yeah, I think he was just there because they were all buddies and didn't want to leave anyone out.

I haven't listened to the S/T in forever.

[Grumma]

The guys that rolled around on stage in the Wait and Bleed clip were my faves :p

[Kage]

They wouldn't be the same band without Chris and Shawn.

[Leukeh]

Hey Leukeh, haven't seen you in a LONG time. Where have you been?

'Sup? I just cbf to use forums frequently anymore - too much schoolwork =P

Did you get a name change or something? Sorry, but I don't recoginise you =P

I remember seeing an MTV interview where the kid doing it asked if they had dancers XD That made me laugh...

[badtaste]

I remember I was obsessed with them in 6th grade. I made a mask and everything. Oh to be young hahaha

nice

I'm sure that's what they'll do. They've probably come to realize that the nu-metal fad is gone and move on to more complex material.

What they'll do with Sid and Craig, I'm not really sure. It's not like Craig did anything to begin with, anyways.

They've given Craig the keyboards. Heck, at least he has an excuse for being in a band now. haha

Nah, no worries. Pretty sure I was badtaste back then. Just remember chatting with you back in the day (I can't even remember what we chatted about...).

[badtaste]

*cough

So... are there any bands out there comparable to MFKR era Slipknot?

Been listening to MFKR again recently. It pains me to see that Paul owned the bass back in the day (but doesn't show off his chops these days). I even checked out mfkr1.com again, and looked at their pics: Paul played his bass high back then! Respekt.

[Tillius]

I was disappointed in MFKR.

It had some nice stuff on there, but not as good as I was expecting.

[Cocaine]

MFKR isn't that good. Random slap bass, bad rapping about nintendo, etc. Who cares.

[Angmar]

>_>
<_<

[beans]

i really like it, im relieved that it sounds the way it does, cant wait for the new album

[badtaste]

Yeah, should be interesting. I'm glad that Corey has covered up those dodgy Volume 3 vocals, by adding more growl. But yeah, the music still seems to be in vein with the previous album, tone is a bit more thicker though.

[beans]

i agree, im really impressed with his vox this time through, i was actually worried that he was going to do more stuff in the same vein as stone sour, and now im pleasantly suprised with how they've turned out.

[Cocaine]

Song is a mess

[Luc214]

omg Joey's drumkit actually doesn't sound like trash cans being banged on for once.

they need a new vocalist tbh

[beans]

you really think so? i still think he's doing a good job, he's not as polished as he used to be but i still think he's doing a good job, i guess i just cant think of anyone else being a frontman for them other than corey

[Cocaine]

Not even that Anders guy who rapped about videogames?

[beans]

lol the guy on MFKR right? they had like a lounge song on there somewhere it was weird

[badtaste]

There be Slipknot haterz roamin'.

[beans]

there's plenty of them, i dont really care, i like them, and they're one of the reasons i listen to heavy music

[badtaste]

I don't know, rating bands objectively seems to be the rage these days.

lol, that picture does make its rounds

[badtaste]

30 second sample of "Psychosocial":
http://www.nuclearblast-musicshop.de/sample.swf?id=129484

I'm not too happy about the Stone Sour-mode vocals and music, but the chorus is neat. Classic Slipknot with the samples.

[AA-12]

wtf that song was really catchy.

[beans]

i cant get the link to work for some reason

[Dimmu Burger]

Slipknot upsets me cause Corey can't scream anymore. It's gay.

[alytee123]

It is rather strange hearing the blatant Stone Sour influence on that sample. It makes me interested in the new album but I guess we're just gonna have vol3 part2 by the sounds of things.

[Dimmu Burger]

That sucks. They should replace Corey with someone who can still scream.

[alytee123]

That's not gonna happen because of their whole 'This band is an entity, a brotherhood' approach, which is commendable but also a bit homosexual.

[Dimmu Burger]

True, really I just wish he could scream again. Thier first record got me into non-screamo screaming.

[Cocaine]

They should replace Corey with someone who can scream.

Then they should replace Jim and Mick with guitarists who can play.

Next, Joey needs to go for a drummer who can drum.

The sampling dude and the two dudes who bang on pots and pans should go for some new amps or something i dunno.

Who cares about the bassist?

Then Slipknot would be elite!!!

[Dimmu Burger]

So you're saying the DJ is elite?? lol

[exup]

well.. corey was on his best on the iowa album.. but i can understand why touring that album can ruin your voice if you dont abuse it the right way..

[ATM]

Shame on all of you.

[Dimmu Burger]

People who don't use good vocal technique kinda get on my nerves. Do it right and you wont mess up your throat.

[Luc214]

They should replace Corey with someone who can scream.

Then they should replace Jim and Mick with guitarists who can play.

Actually they can play they just can't write.

[ncnxonattronn]

why is the clown and dicknose still in the band? they don't even use those idiots

[Dimmu Burger]

They should really just be a five piece.

[badtaste]

[ncnxonattronn]

they're not even trying anymore




out of curiosity i looked up their new sh1t

its better then their subliminal verses ****

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9FgfWTybz8

listening to the guitar at 3:40 it sounds cool with the fast drums.... for some reason the drums on this song remind me of dyers eve

[Tillius]

Wasn't a huge fan of the new song.

Haven't checked out the sample but I will be in a few minutes. I dunno. I used to like Slipknot a lot and I still really love Iowa, but I just kinda started losing interest. Not that I won't be getting the new CD, though. Still have that small trace of fanboyism in me.


EDIT: Just checked out the full song and I have to say I like it a lot more than the last one. I just can't decide how I feel about Corey's voice.

[Mr. Ron]

I remember back in 6th grade when I got their first CD lol. New stuff is ****.

[DanD]

eh i didn't know they had new stuff out i want to hear it

i like a couple songs off of subliminal verses or whatever it was called

[Dimmu Burger]

"you can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes!!! It's all in your head!!! Yeah!!"

[DanD]

k nvm listening to the new song not very good


the guitar solo is awful

[Tillius]

Which one did you listen to? There's two new songs.

[DanD]

the psychosocial one

the chorus was alright, but the rest was meh

[Tillius]

I liked it, but I agree that the solo was ****. Check out the other one and tell me what you think.

I can't decide if I like it at all or not.

[DanD]

the one is the only one that I see on youtube


what's the other one called?

[Tillius]

I can't remember and I can't find the song on youtube.

[Tillius]

/double post

It's called All Hope Is Gone.

[Cocaine]

my fellow maggots does anyone feel like i do.... these guitar riffs in the songs makes me want to break everything coreys vocals makes me want to push my fingers into my eyes and tear my skin of my face this album is going to be the ****!!!!!!

[badtaste]

[Meatplow]

This is a band I can safely say one can grow out of.

[Malfeitor]

Thought this trend died 5 years ago?

[rid]

This is a band I can safely say one can grow out of.

And so I did.

Not a fan at all anymore, but still don't think they deserve a lot of the crap they get. Meh.

[badtaste]

Seriously, I'm a maggot for/4 life.

I'ma buy this new album, biatches.

[Dimmu Burger]

I'll pirate it for sure. I'd like to see the masks really, just out of curiosity.

[DanD]

"burger" lol

[Dimmu Burger]

burgers are delicious.

[Dimmu Burger]

Corey just looks like 80's Jason Newsted now and Joey has a badass crown of thorns.

[badtaste]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6bdFFc5ZSM

(watch the high quality version)

Some notes:
- Jordison has octabans on his kit now.
- It seems that the percussionists are being made less redundant on this record (or at least on this track).
- Are those timpanis? Wild guess, but maybe they produce a better sound than those bongos of old.

[Dies Irae]

gimpknot

[beans]

:lol:
sid breaking his legs

[MadnessUnhallowed]

I don't like Corey's new mask (most original post ever)

I think this new album will sound even more Stone Sour-y.

This is inevitable IMO, Corey seems to favour this vocal style now.

Still getting the album though.

[Seantmpc13]

I don't like Corey's new mask (most original post ever)

I don't either. It's really boring. In fact, I don't like any of the new masks as much as the old ones.

[beans]

you seen sids?
crazy ****, and i dont think mick did anything to his
joeys looks good though

[MadnessUnhallowed]

I think Sid's is kinda based on transformers.
Cause he likes them, what with having the decepticon and autobot logos tattooed on each hand.

[beans]

for sure
im liking their two new songs they have out
im highly anticipating the album

[MadnessUnhallowed]

I'm hoping it will be good, Subliminal was my favourite slipknot album, so maybe they can capitalise on it, or they could go the other way and turn into a Stone Sour clone. I like Stone Sour ...ish, but we definitely don't need two.


EDIT: Craig & Sid have always been my favourite members and had the best masks IMO.

[beans]

i've always enjoyed jims or micks mask
although they barely change from album to album
im hoping they dont turn out like a stone sour clone but who knows coreys voice has been slowly declining since his work on SS new album and Vol 3, but who knows.
the new songs are awesome though

[MadnessUnhallowed]

I agree, the new songs are good., but you can hear the Stone Sour influence with the clean vocals. Now I'm not sayng it should all be screaming whatever, I'm just saying the change is noticable. Definitely want to check it out.

And yeah, micks mask has always been quality. Although looking back now on his S/T mask it looks so poor compared to the current, lol.

[beans]

yeah i do hear the SS influences in their new stuff, but i still think it will be no doubt that it is slipknot for sure.

Yeah his first mask was really bad quality, so was Corey's, in the Voliminal DVD when they interview him and he shows what it looks like now...its basically nothing anymore, held together with duct tape

[MadnessUnhallowed]

Oh yeah, I remember that.

Yes it is still Slipknot, just a different Slipknot from the S/T & Iowa days. But I don't mind too much.

[beans]

me neither.
I loved the iowa album btw

[MadnessUnhallowed]

Yea I think Iowa is very good. Step up from S/T, brought in more intensity and improved mucisianship with it.

[beans]

im hoping the music goes back to that intensity, but ill be happy either way

[lak89]

Iowa and Subliminal were really good, but i never really liked their S/T apart from a few select songs

[Dimmu Burger]

I'd say s/t and Iowa were the best, they got all soft and whiny after that.

[MadnessUnhallowed]

My favourites are definitely Iowa and Subliminal, with S/T a close 3rd. MFKR is so different. The jazz interlude in Do Nothing/Bitchslap is pretty cool.

[Cocaine]

MFKR is also terrible.

[MadnessUnhallowed]

I can't remember it, own it but haven't listened to it in a very long time.

[Cocaine]

I'm pretty sure you don't actually own it.

[MadnessUnhallowed]

I doubt it's a true copy of it, but I have it with the 16 page booklet.

[Hawks10Pec]

Iowa is the only decent thing this band has ever produced. Its still not that great though.

[Charizard]

lol

[Hawks10Pec]

There's nothing funny about that.

[Charizard]

haha

[Cocaine]

Kinda sad but I bought Iowa the day it came out. I had orange spiked hair, too. But in my defence, I was 13.

[Charizard]

ahahaha you fag

when i was 13 i had a crew cut and i listened to TRUST company

[Cocaine]

It was 2001, eat me. I wasnt a "maggot" or anything, I didnt wear bondage pants and I always thought Kittie sucked.

[Charizard]

you had orange spiked hair

fag

[Cocaine]

It was redish orange, it faded. Shut up, all the kiddies in 8th grade dug it.

[Charizard]

i didnt

Mick's trousers shrank.
Oh and wow, he has a new green geetar.

[Dimmu Burger]

I bought it that day as well, though I bought like 80 bucks worth of cds every tuesday back then. Those were the days!

[MadnessUnhallowed]

I bought it that day as well, though I bought like 80 bucks worth of cds every tuesday back then. Those were the days!

I got it a couple of days after it came out at a video rental store, and they gave me it in a brown paper bag for some reason...

When I worked, I used to get shitloads of cds as well, but now I'm at Uni and poor.

why the hell does jim play that damn fender?
micks sound is much better imo on all their releases

[badtaste]

It's his custom?

Hmm, Slipknot will be touring Australia in October. As much as I don't want to be surrounded by Slipknot fans (or should I say, maggots), I think I'll drag myself to one of their shows.

[Pebster49]

Ya, slipknot fans are elite fellers

[rasputin]

I know a guy who listens to Slipknot, he probably has one of the worst tastes in metal ever.

[1338 h4x0r]

Yeah one of my former coworkers likes Slipknot, Atreyu, CoF and In Flames.

He's a cool guy otherwise so I won't make fun of him for it

[rasputin]

yeah. This friend of mine occasionally takes my advice when I rec him stuff, but for the most part he's an idiot. I've given up telling him he should listen to me, yet he constantly thinks I don't already know everything he will learn about metal in the next 20 years. The other day he came online and said 'WHOA man, did you know that In Flames' early albums are totally different to their new stuff and even better!@!!!'
I told him to gtfo

[1338 h4x0r]

The In Flames acoustic demo is nothing less than outstanding neofolk

It would have been great had they continued in that vein

[Dimmu Burger]

yeah. This friend of mine occasionally takes my advice when I rec him stuff, but for the most part he's an idiot. I've given up telling him he should listen to me, yet he constantly thinks I don't already know everything he will learn about metal in the next 20 years. The other day he came online and said 'WHOA man, did you know that In Flames' early albums are totally different to their new stuff and even better!@!!!'
I told him to gtfo

Yeah most of my friends are a bit behind like that guy. I try to not be all elitist about it, but its hard.

[badtaste]

I don't even have people to discuss music with offline :(

[Dimmu Burger]

I have my bandmates, two of which have really good taste in music. My singer likes oddball 80s groups though.

[rasputin]

I don't even have people to discuss music with offline
Neither, just that one idiot, and his other mate who listens to about one album every 4 years.

[beans]

all my friends love metal, although one of my friends only likes things with breakdowns and two step riffs in them, but he's funny as ****

[Dimmu Burger]

Your friend loves juns.

[beans]

yes he does

[Dimmu Burger]

I love juns.

[beans]

i like them just as much as anyone but not at the expense of the song being good or not

[Dimmu Burger]

Juns make the song. Period.

[beans]

:lol: sometimes
