Rock and Metal's Slipknot Thread

[Nostalgia]

yet he constantly thinks I don't already know everything he will learn about metal in the next 20 years

oh tuff guy

[badtaste]

3000 posts, who woulda thought.

[badtaste]

3000 posts, who woulda thought.

What does everyone here think of Machine Head? They're opening for Slipknot when they tour here. Can't say I've heard much of their music.

[beans]

they're mediocre

[McP3000]

why would you have 3000 posts discussing how much a single band sucks

[beans]

fail
sorry

[pow3rtr1p]

The new single, Psychosocial, is some of the worst music I have ever heard. The guitar riffs are the worst rejected 80s metal thing I've ever heard, the vocals are awful, with a horribly anti-climactic chorus, and the only truly decent thing in that song is the intro.

[beans]

you're awful

dissecting slipknot way too far

ok best way to put it, rob zombie rip off lol

ok.

Post count, of course.

...the only truly decent thing in that song is the intro.

Eeew, you like Slipknot.

[Thor]

man this band takes me back to 8th grade

[badtaste]

GA tickets sold out in half an hour. ****.

[FooFighters123]

My favorite memory of these guys:

"PEOPLE=****!!!"

[beans]

GA tickets sold out in half an hour. ****.

you're suprised?

[radtaste]

you're suprised?

Very. More mallcore fans here than I had expected.

[Ceminon]

CoB is actually doing support acts for Slipknot... I mean.. Come on.. If anything, it should be the other way around. And CoB needs all the support they can get, 'cause their last two albums kinda sucked. XD

[Ceminon]

No offense to Slipknot, but I feel that CoB is technically a much more interesting band. Something Wild, Hatebreeder and Follow The Reaper are great albums. From there on, the albums just got a bit more mediocre.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

cob is far better than slipknot. But there new cds are actually good, thats why i was like what the **** are you talking about

[RiceMonster]

CoB is ****

Slipknot is ****

There's nothing more to discuss.

[radtaste]

cob is far better than slipknot. But there new cds are actually good, thats why i was like what the **** are you talking about

I thought Blooddrunk sucked.

[Cocaine]

Blooddrunk is ****ing awful.

[beans]

yusssss.s

[Ceminon]

I really don't like Blooddrunk. AYDY had some cool songs on it. HCDR was pretty cool, but nut'n beats the good ol' CoB as they used to be.

[beans]

slipknot thread goes cob
go figure

[Ceminon]

Okay, back on topic:

Why the hell would a band need NINE band members, when in live shows, two or three of the guys end up doing not much more than just headbanging?..

[badtaste]

on an album i completely agree with you
but on stage, nine people adds to their chaos
its crazy

[bowlermicah]

theyre doing a good job of keeping this from leaking

you serious?
i take everything they do for real

[Ceminon]

Seriously, the original is even more retarded.. :P I'd hardly call some of that stuff a 'riff.'

[Meatplow]

srsly just put it on in the background whilst you surf the net, it's prize entertainment

[MadnessUnhallowed]

Album leaked on demonoid.

Comes out in Japan tomorrow so it was going to happen.

It's pretty good, has a lot of singing in, Stone Sour influences are clear. Need more listens though.

EDIT: Blooddrunk sucked, and I'm a big COB fan, I was incredibly disappointed with it.

[Aakon_Keetreh]

new slipknot sucks. its soft as ****

[Junooni]

Saw these guys live the other night. Wasn't much of a fan before, but holy smokes, that changed real fast.

Where do you guys recommend starting off in the Slipknot library?

[Thor]

Get the latest album it's great so far

[Junooni]

Will do. Any classics?

[Thor]

All Hope Is Gone and Volume 3 are both solid listens.

[beans]

all hope is gone is out? or it leaked? i haven't been able to find it anywhere

i would start with their s/t album tbh
then iowa
the vol. 3
and then all hope is gone if you can find it yet

[Si1v3RfaNg]

well i made a thread about me having their new album and it got closed...... yeah anyways its awesome guys! beats vol 3 in my opinion, yeah anyways their best song from the old albms is def heretic anthem, the best song off the new album i would say is...... Vendetta from what i have listened to thoroughly so far.

[beans]

where did you find it, links please

[Thor]

Yeah it leaked.

The new album is pretty great, way better than their past two releases. It's just as heavy as Iowa but doesn't sound silly this time around. And the hooks are just really fun.

bunit just put your email on here and i'll help a brother out

[beans]

i didnt think iowa sounded silly, i loved most of the songs on that album
does anyone have a link for this sonofabitch lol

[Thor]

Iowa has good riffs and a few good songs, but overall that album is just kind of a joke.

I'M GONNA SLIT YOUR THROAT AND **** THE WOUND! ...seriously?

[Si1v3RfaNg]

i got it via torrent downloading, but bunit, thor did say if you give him ur email he'll give you the songs

[Si1v3RfaNg]

oh and thor.... wht movie is ur pic from? i know thats jim carey, but i cant remember what movie or show....

[Thor]

Dumb and Dumber. Come on man, it's a classic.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

oh haha, now i remember, oh and to bunit, i got the torrent (a file you can send to limewire to download) for the album from www.thepiratebay.org

[badtaste]

omg leak.

I'm gonna wait to buy the cd.

[beans]

bunit just put your email on here and i'll help a brother out

zeroboardhead@msn.com

anytime you can get it to me i would love you forever
and that goes for anyone else as well :)

[badtaste]

Here's a quote from an interview with Paul Gray that I found interesting:

It's the perfect time for this record to come out. The fans have been waiting, and this whole genre needs a good kick in the teeth.

It definitely needs a kick in the teeth. It went from rap-metal to, "Hey, I'm an emo kid with a lame haircut and skinny jeans" [Laughs]. These days, it seems like everybody listened to At The Drive-In and decided that they were going to be in a metal band at the same time. Every ****ing band's doing that. I love death metal, and I love black metal. I won't say anything bad about that ****. As far as bands in our scene, I haven't bought a new record in a long time. I listen to my old Slayer records or my old David Bowie records. Of the newer bands that are out, I can't think of many that I'm into. I think Job for a Cowboy ****ing rules. Those dudes are pretty awesome. I liked Behemoth's last record. It's weird because Slipknot's at the level now where it became cool not to like Slipknot. We got a little bit of backlash. Kids that are 16 or 17 will say we're "Nu Metal." These kids try to tell me what true metal is when I was at the ****in' Powerslave concert in 1984. They weren't even born yet! [Laughs] I don't care. Dude, I know metal. I'm 36-years-old, I've been in metal bands for 23 years. I was doing Metallica and Slayer covers when I was 13. I've paid my dues, and I've paid my respects to the metal gods for that ****. I'm not going to be told by some teenybopper mother****er that we're "Mall metal" when I know what the **** we're doing. People can say whatever they want, but when we play, we're playing in front of 20,000 people every night. Slipknot's bigger than ever. I'm so ****ing proud and happy to be in this band. I'm so thankful for the fans that have stuck by us through all these years. We have the most loyal fans in the world, and we're gaining new ones every day. If any detractors can do it better, they should start a band and write a record, man. I'll buy it from them [Laughs].

[Cocaine]

Paul Gray always feels like the guy without a face in that band. Good to hear him finally have something to say even if parts of that quote were pretty stupid.

[Thor]

The part about the Powerslave concert was pretty awesome though.

Gray was awesome on MFKR, it's a shame he never plays out anymore.

[Cocaine]

MFKR is almost too awful for words though

[keyboardxmosh]

it's like the bad parts of colors

[Dimmu Burger]

That was a good interview.

The album sounds good so far, I haven't heard the whole thing but I'll probably listen to it on the way home from work.

[bringonthebreakdown]

i didn't even know it had leaked.

[Dimmu Burger]

Yeah I stumbled upon it yesterday, it suprised me.

[JoshuaHomme]

the new album is good, but i wish they would progress more.

[Powerban]

I'm still unsure about the new album. It will probably grow on me. I love Gehenna for some reason though.

[badtaste]

Mmm, to download or not to download...

Ha, if you check out the Inside the 9 interview with him (on youtube or whatever), his personality is very much reflected in the way he talks.

The part about the Powerslave concert was pretty awesome though.

Gray was awesome on MFKR, it's a shame he never plays out anymore.

The odd thing is that Joey and Paul are the ones who start writing the songs. So yeah, he's holding back for reasons unknown.

[Dimmu Burger]

Give it a try, you can always delete it.

[badtaste]

Sold.

[badtaste]

Bah, it's just a more heavy version of Volume 3. Reminds me a lot of my one experience with Lamb of God - lots of boring filler type riffs, vocals that are flat.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

i thought the album was very well done actually, much better than vol. 3

[Thor]

It could stand be a song or two shorter, but overall I was very pleased with it.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

i just like it because their finally letting the guitarists show off, i know their talented, they just never get any guitar solos. Lol i got the special edition, if you think the regular album is lone the special edition has 15 tracks.

[Thor]

They definitely had a handful of solos on Volume 3

[DanD]

the problem is that their solos are awful


the album was okay, pretty boring for the most part, nothing really stood out

[Thor]

I wouldn't say awful, but they're definitely your run-of-the-mill shreddy solos.

I'm much more focused on the riffs and hooks here anyways.

[Dimmu Burger]

I listened some more last night and I really like it, its becoming more of a straight metal band and less nu-metal. They might as well get rid of the dj, the sample guy and the two percussionist/vocalist guys, they don't do anything.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

to thor, yeah they had solos on vol 3, just nowhere near as much as all hope is gone, and besides all hope is gone is just so much better.

[bringonthebreakdown]

i need to hear this.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

if you want it go to www.thepiratebay.org, type in all hope is gone slipknot in the search bar, download it and send it to limewire and you have it.

[bringonthebreakdown]

i need to get this via a site that i've heard of as to not get ridiculous trojans and other hateful things. lol

[EINSIEG]

http://sputnikmusic.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=4

[Si1v3RfaNg]

you wont get ridiculous trojans from that site, ive been going to that site for three years and i have yet to even see any signs of a trojan

[Dimmu Burger]

if you want it go to www.thepiratebay.org, type in all hope is gone slipknot in the search bar, download it and send it to limewire and you have it.

Or you could use google blog search and stop wasting your time with torrents. :thumb:

[Si1v3RfaNg]

i have no idea what google blog search, explain please if it is in fact better than torrents

[EINSIEG]

Don't tell this kid, if he doesn't know already, and he likes Slipknot he's not worth telling

[Si1v3RfaNg]

thanks ensieg, your freaking awesome for being an @$$hole! :thumb:

[Dimmu Burger]

i have no idea what google blog search, explain please if it is in fact better than torrents

people post albums on blogs. go to blogsearch.google.com and search for slipknot all hope is gone and you'll find a billion blogs who have links to upload sites with the album for direct download. With broadband it usually takes like 5-20 minutes for most albums to download, its pretty sweet.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

do you have to pay for it though? lol

[EINSIEG]

YES! it costs 100 euros a week!

[Si1v3RfaNg]

EINSIEG, why are you so mean? :angry:

[bringonthebreakdown]

EINSIEG, why are you so mean? :angry:

his parents never hugged him.
seriously. blogsearch.google.com is great.

[DanD]

blogsearch kind of sucks

[Si1v3RfaNg]

i went there, its pretty good actually, but some of the upload site they give you dont work.... so i still like thepiratebay.org better......

[EINSIEG]

lol

[Dimmu Burger]

blogsearch kind of sucks


js

I've never had a problem with it before. I'm suprised to see someone say that.

[Si1v3RfaNg]

well ive been using it for five minutes to get south of heaven and it tried to put a trojan on my computer, so ill stick wit thepiratebay

[Dimmu Burger]

what upload site did you use? I've been using it for like a year and haven't had any problems.

[badtaste]

Hmm, listening again. Not as bad, now that I've turned down the volume :lol:

same here... i love blogsearch.

[Cocaine]

[Dimmu Burger]

same here... i love blogsearch.

this man knows whats up.

[ADRSean]

Is anyone excited here for the new album.I see a lot of people saying it sucks, which is unfortunate. I LOVE the new Slipknot CD. It comes out August 26th on RoadRunner Records and it is sure to please all you maggots out there! It's (sic)!

[Cocaine]

lol

[Thor]

I think it's silly that people are saying Slipknot sold out with this new album.

Slipknot sells out every day

[Cocaine]

If they sold out they would have made an album with actual hooks on it.

[Thor]

/likes the new hooks :(

[Cocaine]

no my joke was there are very few hooks on the album

[Thor]

I felt like there were a good amount. And they weren't really lame like the ones on Duality and Before I Forget.

it's whatever though

[ADRSean]

In my opinion you can't sell out. Just make good music. And that's what slipknot does.

[DanD]

yeah bro stay (sic)


666

[Thor]

Your "logic" escapes me.

[Cocaine]

Their attempt at playing off of Meshuggah's sound begs to differ.

[DanD]

i'm totally remembering all of the threads and posts from when the last Slipknot album came out



god help us all

[Thor]

That was so long ago, and right around the time I joined this site.

I like AHIG more than Vol. 3

[ADRSean]

Hey, yeah I know i'm new here. But my point is I think music is an artistic expression. And whatever you feel you want to do is valid. Meaning you can't sell out because it's art. I know it's not the "normal" with songs like snuff. But it still is a "slipknot" album. I'm a huge fan of them, but I won't say i'm a blind follower. I love this new CD as it's own and I don't plan on comparing it to their other works. I feel each album is it's own piece and deserves to be looked at as such.

[DanD]

lololol



josh, the original guitarist produced my bands first demo way back in the day

[badtaste]

I thought S/T and Iowa were hook heavy :confused:

yeah your outlook is honest and your heart is pure but it is possible to sell out, though

i dont care about this new album, saw the video premiere on mtv and it sounded boring

if heavy music is going to crack the mainstream why cant it be good heavy music that really annoys me

[beans]

that link you emailed me didnt work for some reason
does anyone have a link for this?

nvm downloading now :)

[Dimmu Burger]

Protest The Hero should be the new Nickelback.

pickelback

[Benzum]

You really think that there is no appeal at all?

oh no i do get why they are so popular but i dont care what anybody else says about this but they wouldnt be as big as they are, or even famous at all if it wasnt for the masks

you know at the time, 1998 when they recorded the self-titled, roadrunner etc, it was different and people digged it

[beans]

they wouldnt have gotten the press they have if it wasnt for the masks

you cannot be 4 albums into your career, with millions of fans and make shitty music

seriously

[Benzum]

well you can, though
i dont think that some of the fans would even be fans at all if they didnt wear those masks
its the thing that anybody associates slipknot with, fan or not (why do you think they keep changing the masks every album)

watch some of the live videos for when they did iowa and were still playing tracks like spit it out and wait and bleed, some of them are really bad lol

the masks are a cool idea and you do have to understand its purely an image thing, to add to the whole listening experience
its that whole thing that if a blind person was to go to a slipknot show they'd think it was just you know, average heavy music but if a deaf person went to a slipknot show they would think it was the most insane thing ever etc

[beans]

i think they keep changing them cause it would probably be completely boring and stupid to have the same thing on every album, if thats what they were choosing to do

and i've seen enough live videos to know, they're not bad
one bit

your opinion is flawed

[Benzum]

your opinion is flawed


its good to have an opinion

[beans]

its also good to have your balls waxed
i hear

[Benzum]

well i wouldnt know anything about that

ill keep that in mind

[beans]

i would
smoothe as eggs i tell you

[Benzum]

when your testicles have such a brilliant feature anything is possible

anything if it involves your balls

[badtaste]

oh no i do get why they are so popular but i dont care what anybody else says about this but they wouldnt be as big as they are, or even famous at all if it wasnt for the masks

you know at the time, 1998 when they recorded the self-titled, roadrunner etc, it was different and people digged it

Meh, good for them for having a wise marketing plan.

well you can, though
i dont think that some of the fans would even be fans at all if they didnt wear those masks
its the thing that anybody associates slipknot with, fan or not (why do you think they keep changing the masks every album)


Mmm... c'mon, I don't think people are that shallow that they would listen to a band just because of their image. You're understating their music. As a matter of fact, I'd reckon Slipknot would have a whole different audience if they didn't have their same image.

[Benzum]

yeah maybe but would they be making the same sounding music?
i dont think they would be as heavy without the masks and they certinally wouldnt have 9 people in the band

so without the guy who hits trash cans and occasionally screams down a mic they would just be another 4 or 5 piece band and looking the way they do, i dont think they would crack the mainstream like they have done.

[beans]

You're understating their music
understanding?
i think you meant underrating or something along those lines lol

[badtaste]

Well, at their MFKR stage, they already had the masks going on, the two percussionists and a sampler. The music between MFKR and S/T isn't too different. But again, if they had stayed away from the gimmicky stuff, perhaps they may have made much more 'heavier' music, without cracking the mainstream.

understanding?
i think you meant underrating or something along those lines lol

un·der·state:
1. To state with less completeness or truth than seems warranted by the facts.
2. To express with restraint or lack of emphasis, especially ironically or for rhetorical effect.
3. To state (a quantity, for example) that is too low.

edit: underrate = understate

[beans]

oh my bad, must have read that wrong
:)

[badtaste]

No prob.

Back on topic, the only song off All Hope is Gone that I can listen to repeatedly is Psychosocial. We need more catchy hooks dammit!

[beans]

the title track is really good though

and the first actual song after the intro is pretty good as well

[badtaste]

Yeah, title track has an awesome chorus, but the verses are a bit awkward for me. Likewise with Gematria (The Killing Name).

Anyone seen the bonus DVD yet? I saw that it had been uploaded already, but I haven't bothered to get it yet (still might buy it).

[beans]

yeah i will probably buy this just because i've boughten every other one of their albums and dvds so might as well have this one as well

[Benzum]

Anyone seen the bonus DVD yet?

ill watch it on youtube lol

the last slipknot album i bought was iowa on like the day it came out
i remember getting a free sew on patch if you got it on the day of release and at least half of people with bags at the college i went to had the same patch.

supposed to be some kind of statement towards education in general, i think.

[beans]

back when sew on patches were the **** lol

[Benzum]

it was the ones you could iron on too so even if you couldnt sew you could still show how much you hate things :)

for the true college dropout

[beans]

absolutely, i think i still have a ratty old backpack with a bunch of skateboarding logos sewn on and **** somewhere in here

lol

[badtaste]

ill watch it on youtube lol

Hmm, good idea.

back when sew on patches were the **** lol

I still have dreams of one day having a jacket with tonnes of patches on it. Done well, they can look awesome. Too lazy to get started though :upset:

[beans]

idk it always reminds me of all the punks that used to hang around my house in seattle, and all of them looked like douchebags tbh lol

[Benzum]

absolutely, i think i still have a ratty old backpack with a bunch of skateboarding logos sewn on and **** somewhere in here

lol

you mean you didnt just use a marker pen to write the logos?
that way you can save money, look even more grubby and hardcore and possibly sniff the pen afterwards to get a little high of it. everybody wins. especially you.

dont sniff pens

douchebags tbh lol

whats with that douchebags

[beans]

nah i used to go to this place and get shoes all the time and every box of shoes came with a sticker and a patch, i had like 3 of every sticker on that backpack, consisting of about maybe 4 different kinds

maybe...

[Benzum]

yeah good things usually come with free things too if that makes any sense.
lol once i got a pair of dcs just so i could have the free stickers.
beat that.

stupid right? needless to say, i was drunk.

[Dimmu Burger]

Psychosocial is a catchy @$$ song!

[badtaste]

Watching the bonus dvd on youtube atm. The music is better without Corey :(

[Tillius]

I picked up the album last night. I was really worried I wouldn't like it to much but I'm actually really loving it. Not a bad release. Probably my second favorite now next to Iowa. Truly I may even like it better than Iowa seeing as they seem to have matured both musically and lyrically.

[badtaste]

I salute/envy those who don't think twice before getting whatever tattoo they want...

Message from Paul on Slipknot1.com

""First off i want to thank all of the Slipknot fans around the world, making "ALL HOPE IS GONE" the 1 record IN THE WORLD!! Thats no bullshit! Words can't describe the feeling that i have over the response of the record. Being off for 4 years, you can start thinking that people have forgotten about you, you Guys and Ladies have definitely showed me thats not the case...AT ALL! Our first video for Psychosocial was done by Paul Brown on a farm in the middle of the night in Iowa. We think he did an amazing job on it and it's our first video thats ever been nominated for an MTV VMA. Thank you to all the fans that came out to the Mayhem Tour!! You all have made it a huge success and there will definitely be another Mayhem Tour in the future. Next week we go to our second video for "DEAD MEMORIES" With Paul Brown once again! So keep an eye out but thats all I'm giving away!!!!! Sid is healing great, he is walking(with canes) But is on his way to a full and complete recovery as well as Joey who has been going through rehabilitation and will be ready for Japan, Australia and Europe. He is actually playing some drums now!! He will be healed by the time we go back out on tour!!!! As far as everything at home that's my personal life but i LOVE my wife more than anything in the world and i've NEVER been HAPPIER in my life, She is my best friend my confidant and The absolute LOVE OF MY LIFE and i couldn't live without her!( I LOVE YOU BABY) I will be more active with my page please be patient I'm really busy so don't get you panties in a wad if i don't get back to you right away, I'm getting to the messages as quick as can. Talk to you guys soon!!
Stay[SIC]

Paul2"

Lol. So Dead Memories will be the second video.

[beans]

whatever paul no one cares about you

[Dimmu Burger]

Lol he was on the Reggie album? What the sh*t?

[beans]

i guess so unless its badtaste's little addition to the article lol

[Dimmu Burger]

lol that would be funny.

[Phantom]

Man, the new album really let me down. I enjoyed it the first few lsitens, but now I can barely listen to it. Not sure why, just has no replay value for me...

Still want to see them live in December.

EDIT: I wonder how many of those record sales are made up of fans who bought it then realised what an anti climax it is.

[Dimmu Burger]

Alright I'm rockin this album again.

[beans]

They do have a great live show, always have, probably always will.

But the new album is probably going to take me a while to get into, like iowa. it took me a while to actually like the entire album, not just a few songs.

[badtaste]

whatever paul no one cares about you

I love Paul :*|

i guess so unless its badtaste's little addition to the article lol

haha, haven't even heard of em.

But yeah, he did play bass on the record according to wiki.

[Dimmu Burger]

Reggie and The Full Effect is the drummer from Coalesce's solo stuff.

[beans]

I love Paul :*|

he doesnt do anything, he just headbangs terribly, and i cant stand him now that i saw his interview on Voliminal
he just sounds like a pud

Kinda like St Anger really (I was a victim :().

But yeah, I'm not digging the album too much atm. Not hugely bad, still listenable, but doesn't make me want to listen to it.

Eh, if I've got my information correct, Joey and Paul are the brains behind the music. But yeah otherwise, he's an underachiever.

[beans]

i dont even try to guess anymore who comes up with what i know joey is a genuis but i cant say that for anyone else

[Phantom]

I like St.Anger, ok it was an anti climax but I never hated it or jumped on that band wagon, but it was a let down. I still listen to it now.

As for All Hope Is Gone, I'm gunna give it another chance when I have the time to listen to it and not get distracted. I can listen to Snuff though..

[Tillius]

I can't get enough of this album. I really thought it was going to be a letdown but I'm really loving it.

[bastard]

lol. Corey and ex-Slipknot guitarist Josh Brainard are together a Tenacious D tribute act, called Audacious P.

[alytee123]

It took a few listens to get into but I eventually started enjoying the album. Dead Memories might as well have been on the first Stone Sour album though so it's no surprise that it's the second single.

[Tillius]

I really enjoy Dead Memories. Better than pretty much anything off of either of the Stone Sour albums. (even though I slightly enjoy the Stone Sour albums)

[Cocaine]

Man, that mask looks just awful. It's like if the Tin Man had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or something.

[badtaste]

The only thing I dig about is that when he is shrouded in darkness, there's a bit of leatherface about him, floppy hair and all.

In other news, Jim Root appears on Jonathon Davis and the SFA's "Got Money" (Lil Wayne cover). You can download the track at http://www.jdsfa.com/download

[Dimmu Burger]

I gotta get that Revolver!

[beans]

only cool thing he's ever done

[badtaste]

lol, probably true. Have you ever checked out his side projects? Standard alternative/indie rock type stuff. I have one of To my Surprise's tracks on my Sputnik profile.

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/profile.php?name=badtaste

[badtaste]

Some of the members thoughts on working with Rick Rubin on Volume 3. Thought that this was interesting, especially what Corey had to say.

Shawn Crahan (percussion): "'Vol. 3' was all about rebuilding friendships and since we were rebuilding, it was reall easy to rebuild the innovation of our music. Listen to that ****ing record. It's spiritual. Rick Rubin's the oracle. He sat us down with each other. I heard things from the other members I don't care to repeat. I gained a couple of friends. I might have created a couple of enemies. We all agreed we were going to get on a plateau of communication and that's what we did."

Jim Root (guitar): "Rick was really attentive to what we needed as a band. He knew I was going through major anxiety. I got a knock on my bedroom door one day, and his assistant came up and he had this herbal drop that you put on your tongue to mellow out. A lot of the guys in the band say Rick was unavailable. And yeah, he takes on a lot of projects at one time, but he also does things that are beneficial. He would listen to what we'd done, then have us retrack things that needed work. He's kind of like Big Brother up on the hill. Even though he wasn't there physically every day, he was. That's my favorite record we've done."

Corey Taylor (vocals): "I wouldn't know what it's like to work with Rick Rubin. I only saw him about four times. Rick Rubin is a nice man. He's done a lot of good for a lot of people. He didn't do anything for me. I'm not happy with the vocals on that record. There were a lot of takes that I thought were much better than the ones they ****in' used and I wasn't asked about a lot of ****. It sounds amazing; the songs are great. But we were being charged horrendous amounts of money. And for me, if you're going to produce something, you're ****ing there. I don't care who you are."

[Dimmu Burger]

Dang!

I wish Mick would get some side project action going... would like to hear what he would do.

Got my Slipknot ticket. Should be interesting.

[Dimmu Burger]

Who are they playing with?

[badtaste]

Machine Head, and a local band named Sydonia.

Got myself 'The Blackening' to familiarise myself with the former band. Not bad.

[Dimmu Burger]

Machine Head is Butt Metal, yuck!

[Tillius]

Everyone's hating on the new video. I didn't see anything terrible about it until Corey started running into Mick which was ****ing lame.

[Angmar]

It's a Slipknot video dat's why.

[radtaste]

123.

and then 456 for good measure. Metalheads should just play their instruments and headbang.

****ing Clown co-directed. That guy is one of those douches who thinks that they're an artist, and will churn out crap with 100% bullshit conviction behind it.

It's a Slipknot video dat's why.

gtfo non-elite.

[interviewer02]

Slipknot is possibly the best live band I've seen, outside maybe Epica. Don't really like either bands, but they both put a great show on.

[Angmar]

Anything I've seen live from Slipknot has been hilariously bad.

[Tillius]

I dunno, when I went and saw them live they put on a pretty great show. Granted, I was fifteen and it was my first concert and they were my favorite band at the time so I may have just been biased due to the excitement.

[Dimmu Burger]

They are fun to watch live, but in a gimmicky kinda way.

[radtaste]

First show came last night. Set list was disappointing, but performance was great. Was right up at the front, very fun times.

Steel capped boots ftwwwwwwwww.

[Benzum]

Anything I've seen live from Slipknot has been hilariously bad.

do you mean that all other bands apart from slipknot have been bad or they were amazing? oh were you talking about the support bands?

lol well ive seen slayer support slipknot so

[radtaste]

Nein, they're just for introductory "Look at my coool stick fingers" posing.

[Tillius]

Nice beard Mick has going on there.

[beans]

has been for some time

[Dimmu Burger]

"Heretic Anthem" came on my iPod today while it was on shuffle and you can't even hear the freakin guitar riffs its so noisy! WTF?

[alytee123]

What do you mean, was it a live version?

[Dimmu Burger]

Nope, studio version. The guitars are really noisy and you can't tell what they're doing.

[alytee123]

I'll go have a listen later, I haven't listened in ages. Now that I think of it, arnt the drums just really loud on that whole album?

[radtaste]

"Heretic Anthem" came on my iPod today while it was on shuffle and you can't even hear the freakin guitar riffs its so noisy! WTF?

Never had that problem before.

[beans]

really dont know what he's talking about

Paul Gray, what a funny dude.

[alytee123]

First time I've seen a member do an instrumental lesson without a mask, even Mick and Jim wore masks for a magazine tutorial I saw a couple of years ago. How old is Paul Gray, he looks really young there or is it just me

[Dimmu Burger]

"Heretic Anthem" came on my iPod today while it was on shuffle and you can't even hear the freakin guitar riffs its so noisy! WTF?

Ok I realized my problem while driving to work today:

Back when that album came out I ripped all my cds in 128kbps because Musicmatch software told me that was cd quality. That's why it sounds like butt. I'm gonna find it in higher quality somewhere online when I get a chance.


http://www.mayerenterprises.com/imv/paul_gray_trailer.htm

Paul Gray, what a funny dude.

Wow, he looks nothing like I expected. Kinda like a metalcore scene kid!

[radtaste]

First time I've seen a member do an instrumental lesson without a mask, even Mick and Jim wore masks for a magazine tutorial I saw a couple of years ago. How old is Paul Gray, he looks really young there or is it just me

He's 36. Yeah, I too was surprised that he didn't appear with his mask on, given what the guitarists did.

Wow, he looks nothing like I expected. Kinda like a metalcore scene kid!

Lol. I'm more accustomed to his mug shot... looks more metal.

The thing that made me laugh was that he looked like he was on the half-smirking, as in: "What the hell am I doing here?"
