Rock and Metal's Slipknot Thread

[Paranoidd]

sid AND craig do something in almost every song, and the ones the dont, they just headbang but so what?

So...whats the point of having them there if they just jump around?

[TheSubtleArts]

Which masks do you like better, the old ones or the new ones? i personally like the old ones better.

i like mick and paul's new ones, but i like cory's and james old ones more.

i didnt like either of shawn or sid's masks, and chris and craig are basically the same. i like joeys new one too

[acdcfreak]

i like cory's and james old ones more.

I agree. :thumb: Cory's old one was much better, and Joey's new one is incredible as well

[metal_bassist]

Slipknot are a very good band and Joey is a wicked awsome drummer.
But i think with like 5 guitarist they could of come up with better guitaring.
(Sic) and Wait and Bleed are both very good songs.

[Paranoidd]

Five?

Try two.

[xXMurder_DollxX]

the old masks were definetly better in most cases. Corey's new mask just looks stupid. I was reading some interview and Joey said that they were supposed to looked aged or something, but I don't see that. Oh, and I think Clown should die. He is a pointless member, and a dumbass.

[MetalMulishaRocks2000]

Hey, anyone know how to play Snap on drums? :confused:
email me if ya do@ metalmulisharocks2000@yahoo.com

You have a Kittie avatar.All the members are pointless.They can barely hold up their instruments much less play them.Therefore, shut up.

[leomondaine]

Five?

Try two.

well theres 2 guitarists in the band but i know that Joey and Corey play guitar, and Paul played guitar for a real long time before he started bass. So they could have given some input to mick and james. idk if anyone else in the band plays guitar

[Paranoidd]

They don't have five guitar players, they have two. Just because other guys in the band know how to play doesn't mean that they count as players in the band.

Mick and James surely play better than anyone else in the band.

So they have have two guitarists, done.

[TheSubtleArts]

slipknot: one singer(cory), 2 guitars(mick and james), 1 bass(paul), 1 drummer(joey), 2 custom percussionists(chris and shawn), 1 dj(sid), and 1 programer/media/sample(craig).

^Go there to STREAM a Vermilion performance from the TMF Awards(?, got me too).
I havent even seen the **** thing cuz my 56k just wont allow it.All I got was audio.Maybe some of you will have better luck with it.

[The JoZ]

That Vermilion performance is crazy...they are wearing their mask-over-mask thing...the latex masks of their faces that they made. You get a good shot of everyone except Sid and Craig, sadly.

[xXMurder_DollxX]

You have a Kittie avatar.All the members are pointless.They can barely hold up their instruments much less play them.Therefore, shut up.

bull****! they are very talented. and what i said is my opinion, and i am allowed to have one, so f*** you if you think you have the right to tell me to shut up.

[TheSubtleArts]

^^yea that vermilion video is sweet, except you cant see craig

[caffeine_junkie]

i think its true about the new album being very corey orientated. it sounds a lot like stone sour. having sed that i love it too pieces.

JOEY JORDISON kicks major arse on the drums. there aint a better drummer.

Top 5 slipknot songs:
1. wait and bleed
2. the heretic anthem (particularly good live)
3. my plague
4. spit it out
5. duality

\n/ to all us maggots :)

[jppeterson]

Top 10 would be
1. Left Behind
2. Virus Of Life
3. Wait and Bleed
4. My Plauge
5. Virmillion
6. Virmillion Part 2
7. SIC
8. Duality
9. Opium Of the People
10. Scream
They shouldn't lose any of the member. the clown guy is crazy. when they are seperate, they are nothing, but together, they are greatness.

[relliK]

bull****! they are very talented. and what i said is my opinion, and i am allowed to have one, so f*** you if you think you have the right to tell me to shut up.

Just like you were stating your opinion about Shawn, I was stating mine about Kittie.So calling my opinion "bull****" kinda contradicts what you had to say after it.I have the right to disagree right?Which I was, disagreeing.

BTW, Im pretty sure Craig was there during that Vermilion performance, I heard samples of Corey saying "should I do it?" or something like that.Unless Sid was the one doing it since Craig might have been gone by then.

[TheSubtleArts]

i think they should have shown good shots of every1 thos instead of just cory and shawn.

[leomondaine]

BTW, Im pretty sure Craig was there during that Vermilion performance, I heard samples of Corey saying "should I do it?" or something like that.Unless Sid was the one doing it since Craig might have been gone by then

yea it was sid. i think craig is faking this whole emergency teeth surgery thing. In the Vermillion music video, you cant see his "face" because hes being blocked by someone. And i think this whole surgery thing was just to get him out of playing the TMF awards and being videotaped with their new vermillion masks on. Craig is the member in the band thats most concerned with keeping his identity unknown. Everybody else dosent really care anymore

[jppeterson]

No.I seriously doubt he would fake all that crap just to avoid having his face seen.Either way, I doubt the cameras would have even turned to him had he been there.The vocalist tends to get the most camera time during TV appearances.

[The JoZ]

Faking surgery?

If he really didn't want to be seen, he would've just missed the one show, not a bunch of them. The TMF awards isn't the only show he's missing

[jppeterson]

No.I seriously doubt he would fake all that crap just to avoid having his face seen.Either way, I doubt the cameras would have even turned to him had he been there.The vocalist tends to get the most camera time during TV appearances.
Yeah, but if you got to see someone from slipknot would you not remember the face. i would. people even if they saw him for like two seconds would be able to remember his face and then if they saw him. crazy time.

[The JoZ]

Come on, the dude has had half of his face shown from when he had the diver's helmet. Search on any site, and you can probably find a picture where his eyes and nose are clearly visible.

It's not like he's got much left to hide.

[KenBoston]

Slipknot... I saw them at the Soma here in San Diego. I like them..which is unusual... since I don't really like it when rap style lyrics are mixed with metal or rock... not my favorite band... but so far the best band I've seen in concert.. so much energy from every member.

[xXMurder_DollxX]

[QUOTE=relliK]Just like you were stating your opinion about Shawn, I was stating mine about Kittie.So calling my opinion "bull****" kinda contradicts what you had to say after it.I have the right to disagree right?Which I was, disagreeing.

did I say 'your opinion is bull****?' No, I simply said bull****. Don't put words in my mouth. For your ****ing information I was stating that the whole fact of you telling me to shut up is bull****. Get the facts straight before you say im contradicting jackass.

[Death Grim]

Slipknot are easily the best band in the world, although Metallica come a close second. They are truly excellent live, anyone at downloaad 2004 should know that. I can agree with what some of you are saying about Vol. 3, but i think its a f***ing great album, not as good as the 1st two granted, but it has some truly excellent songs on it, Before i forget for example. I do like the slower ballad-type songs as it shows that Slipknot are'nt just a band that scream and shout, like so many ignorant people seem to think. Corey has an amazing voice. But nothing comes close to Surfacing or Spit it out, they're CLASSICS. As for the list of top 20 songs............. i cant do it, it all depends on my mood to which tracks i like. Stay SIC maggots :evil:

What about The Carpenters?

[Death Grim]

What about The Carpenters?

They suck big time, in fact they BLOW.

[Paranoidd]

Donny Osmond then?

I'm just trying to rationalize your belief that Slipknot & Metallica = the two best bands in the world, because you're either nuts or you've never heard anything else.

[Death Grim]

mmmmmmmmmmmm NO!

[Death Grim]

Donny Osmond then?

Actually ive heard more than you think, you just happened to pick two that i dont like!
And maybe i am nuts :naughty:

[The JoZ]

Ahahaha :lol:

Slipknot and Metallica are great, but I can name a vast number of bands better than them.

Parannoid, I wouldn't bother arguing with this guy.

[Paranoidd]

I'm not, that's why I stopped.

I didn't want to have to explain that "I like Slipknot, I like Metallica, I can just name off better bands faster than a jackrabbit fvcks."

It's obvious my careful and well-thought arguments would go to waste.

[Death Grim]

Ahahaha :lol:

Slipknot and Metallica are great, but I can name a vast number of bands better than them.

Parannoid, I wouldn't bother arguing with this guy.

Who would you say are better? I also like Damageplan (although Pantera was better), Machinehead, KMFDM, CoF

[Paranoidd]

Damageplan isn't better than anybody. I'd rather saw off my ears with a rusty knife then be subjected to that crap.

Machinehead is OK, Burn My Eyes is a specifically good record. When they aren't reverting to some odd melodic nu-metal crap, they put out good records. If they had a more consistent career, they'd be alot higher up in my books.

I only like damageplan because they put on a great show at Download and that they covered Walk.

Burn my eyes rules, although i do like burning red

[xxsuicidalnothingxx]

I gota agree with this guy..i used to listen to Slipknot all the time..they were my favorite band..and i still really do enjoy them..but i really think the new cd is a total disappointment..i mean its badass they started doing solos and such..but just everything else was so different compared to Iowa and Selftitled..i think another reason i really didnt like the new cd..is it seemed like through a lot of the songs..they dropped the rest of the band..besides joey..mick..james..corey..and paul..and that really pissed me off..cuz that creativeness of all 9 members was awesome
My list would go
Surfacing
Spit It Out
Wait And Bleed
Liberate
Prosthetics
No Life
Only One
Scissors
Iowa
Left Behind
Heretics Anthem
Everything Ends
People = ****
Gently
My Plague
Metabolic
Duality
Vermillion Part 2
Pulse Of The Maggots
Blister Exists

Slipknot are awesome, but i've moved away from them, i don't listen to them as much any more, for me, their latest album was a dissapointment, it was a change in their style of music which to me, makes COREY not the band, it makes corey a sellout. I only say this because all of slipknot say stuff like "corey was a real drive for us this time around".

[Paranoidd]

I only like damageplan because they put on a great show at Download and that they covered Walk.

Burn my eyes rules, although i do like burning red

Whatever, I'm not in the mood to sit here and drill your choice of music, I'm only trying to drill the point home that Slipknot aint the best band in the world, not even close.

[Death Grim]

Thats youre opinion and ive no prob with that, just so u know that they're my fave. :thumb:

[Death Grim]

Is there any1 out there that went to Download this year?

[The JoZ]

What world are you living in?

Volume 3 features all 9 members much better than S/T or Iowa ever did.

The Blister Exists, Duality, Vermilion, POTM, The Nameless, in particular, all have 9 different parts going on. You can actually hear Craig, or Sid, or the percussion, or even Paul.

S/T and Iowa saw them totally underuse 9 members. Craig or Sid would do virtually nothing, except every now and then, and Shawn and Chris did little except headbang and fight with each other. Volume 3 shows them throwing their weight around in many better ways, with odd synth lines, thumping percussion, and if you listen closely, even Sid is getting in on the action.

Go listen to it again.

In case anyone is wondering what Paul Gray (Slipknot's bass player) looks like:

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/paulgray1.html

[mordredozzy124]

wow i never would have thought he looks like that... thank god they wear masks

[The JoZ]

I have pictures of all of them unmasked, actually...well, all except Craig, it is impossible to find a picture of that man unmasked.

They all look nothing like I had pictured, to say the least.

I think it's kind of cool. "Occupation - Band Member" "Hours - Various" "Self Employed"
...not cool that he got arrested, but to be able to write that kind of stuff and not be full of it. :lol:

[Firecracker]

everyone in this thread knows so much about slipknot. i like them, but not a great fan.

[acdcfreak]

In case anyone is wondering what Paul Gray (Slipknot's bass player) looks like:

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/paulgray1.html

Whoa, i didn't expect him to look like that either. :amaze:

You know it's weird, most people don't know what most of the members of Slipknot actually look like underneathe their masks, so it's possible that you may have passed them on the street and not even realized it...crazy

[relliK]

That picture was taken right after he got arrested.You can tell he is so **** high or drunk or whatever he was.Heres another one:

i stumbled across this site once, that had pretty much all ofthem without masks, it was wierd...but yeah you're right, you couldve passed them on the street, they look fairly unremarkable without masks

[Ouch me noggin]

[maggot4875]

any of you ever seen the disasterpieces dvd?its their concert in london it so f****** awesome.It came out i think it 2002 so they place songs from iowa and self-titled.It also has a bunch of videos including the hidden bonus track purity.I got it for $25 at fye.Slipknot fans i highly recommend this video.

[TheSubtleArts]

^yea i have that dvd, it is fu*king awsome, i love it.

[relliK]

http://www.metabolic666.com/mp3/DKAfull.mp3

^That is a link to the full version of Danger-Keep Away(The last track on Vol.3).Its very odd.Its the weirdest Slipknot track they have ever released.The congas are pretty cool.But most of it makes no sense.Its pretty cool I guess.

[simonamstell]

I love joeys hair. Its majestic, it looks so good when it flows in the wind. Ive seen him at photo shoots.

[TheSubtleArts]

james is my favorite player in slipknot. hes the most active in live performances and concerts. ^mick has coolest hair tho

[thelittledrummerboy]

There all great artists, Mick has the best headbangin style, ya think his head would be killin after a 2 hour show. he and joey are my favourites, and corey

[TheSubtleArts]

chris gets in some good headbangin too wen he sits up on his drums.

[disasterpiece_012345678_515]

best 20 songs? couldn't you make it like best 5? hahaha

yea, and criags head and neck have to be killer after a show, all he basically does live is headbang for hours.

[relliK]

Well since the conversation here has been about "cool hair" and headbanging style, i thought I'd tell you all that the Vermilion performance from the TMF awards is now available for download at urbanchaosvideos.com.Its the same video I posted a link for a few days back.But that one was a stream video only.So go download that bitch!!

[slipknut666]

slipknot should die
you should die you jelous fuk.....

[MT_W-a-r-l-o-c-k]

<=== Name and title says it all :)

[relliK]

Mick Thompson is with Ibanez now.

[1&aHALFstep]

HUGE SLIPKNOT FAN!
Seen em live, been in love since!
Joey --> Bad @$$ MOFO drummer
Mick and Jim write sick riffs.
Mick, he plays an Ibanez Sabre now I believe.
He still uses the Warlock for the Drop A tunes.

[Paranoidd]

Mick Thompson is with Ibanez now.

Now THAT says it all.

[ridethelightning]

ibanez customs man
hope they make a ridiclus sig like his last one
i still think his bich custom was his best theres just something with that guitar that makes me go hard in my pants and his new mask is way better than his old ones

[JonBT]

Can SOMEONE TAB DUALITY ON THE DRUMS?!?!?

[JonBT]

Joey Jordison is the best drummer in the world man hahah... just check out that style.. he plays some kick *** impossible beats and still finds time to swing his hair :D... now that is an Ice Cold Pimp haha :D...

[jppeterson]

Joey Jordison is the best drummer in the world man hahah... just check out that style.. he plays some kick *** impossible beats and still finds time to swing his hair ... now that is an Ice Cold Pimp haha ...

i agree that joey jordison is the best but the doubles kicks isn't all him. there are two other drummers. some songs there is more than one drummer going. cris and shawn help joey out. but joey is still the most insane/intense drummer there is

[TheSubtleArts]

the only person that doesnt really impress me is paul, if they had some1 like ryan martinie from mudvayne on bass, that would be awsome.

[vaynesinknots]

thatd be awesome if he played with them in concert sometime (look at my name and guess what 2 bands i really dig). like when joey played with metallica.

[TheSubtleArts]

^my two favorite bands too

[MT_W-a-r-l-o-c-k]

I dont like ibanez.....:\......I still love his BC Rich guitars....so......uhh....yea...Lol

[relliK]

Pete Sandoval(Morbid Angel) schools Joey like he's in kindergarden.Check out "Drum Check" to see what I mean.

[TheSubtleArts]

watch the slipknot dvd Disasterpieses, joey is alot better than most people think

[The JoZ]

Pete Sandoval(Morbid Angel) schools Joey like he's in kindergarden.Check out "Drum Check" to see what I mean.

And Danny Carey can school both of them.

What's the point? Joey is a good drummer, leave it at that.

[relliK]

*disagrees*

But anyway, I guess I'll leave it at that.

[Mr. Scary]

Im really not into slipknot but, the Very 1st album MFKR was kinda different.
I hate the Iowa and Volume 3 album, i hear some songs off the the self title like

Liberate
Spit it Out
Sic

but thats it. like i said im really not into Slipknot.

[shoelacenoose]

their new album is great i think, and the single Duality is awesome, great job on the music video too!

[jppeterson]

vermillion is a good video too. not as intense though

[TheSubtleArts]

i was hoping for a video for blister exists or three nil, which are the best songs on the new album i think.

[alcoholocaust]

I finnaly heard Vermillion, best song I've heard off their new album so far. What did you all think of it?

[StoneHenge1]

Vermillion is different then their other videos. Thats good tho. Still love em! ALL of their albums rocks. Except for MRFK cause I havent heard it. Heard its good tho.

[relliK]

Vermilion is probably my favorite Slipknot song.It has a huge feel to it.Its probably Corey's best performance out of anything he's ever released.Vermilion pt.2 is great also.

[The JoZ]

It is my firm belief that Vermilion is the best song they have ever written. It's probably the only track where all 9 members get to do ALOT in the song...well, Sid's part is minimal, but, he's still there. I love it.

I have also sat and heard MFKR, all of it. And honestly, I can't see why they didn't continue to make that kind of music. Normally, if someone told me "we play a mix of funk, disco, hip hop, ambient and metal" I'd say "You're crazy" but Slipknot did it very, very well on that disc...although I don't like Anders' singing at all.

[relliK]

Ross Robinson is why they didnt continue doing it.

[The JoZ]

Ross Robinson is why they didnt continue doing it.

Ross Robinson is the worst thing to happen to music.

Honestly. Another album like MFKR would've been sweet. And Volume 3 was freaking amazing.

S/T and Iowa? Meh. Loud, fast, distorted. Totally underused 9 members.

[paper2302]

I think Sipknot are the best band live.I can't wait for the new DVD to come out. And i Have watched that video of them playing vermilion live, anf they were wearing their "Face" Masks. I am woundering if this is going to be forever. Any one else see this video?(The live one)

[relliK]

www.urbanchaosvideos.com has the video your talking about.They only use those masks when they play Vermilion.

[TheSubtleArts]

^^ i heard the new dvd is coming out in february, and i agree they are the best band live.

[Heavy0metal0freak]

Slipknot are easily the best band in the world, although Metallica come a close second. They are truly excellent live, anyone at downloaad 2004 should know that.

Stay SIC maggots :evil: no theyre not and metallica is no where near dumbass check out real bands i like slipknot too but anyone who say theyre the best are just stupid

[Who???Me???]

wat do u guys rekon is the best album by them?

[TheSubtleArts]

i like them all but i would say Vol.3 just b/c i like every song on it, were as on the other albums there are a couple songs i dont like.

[paper2302]

I love Iowa. To bad the Cd blew up in my Cd drive, it just shattered. But vol:3 is my overall favorite,almost tie with Iowa.

Yeah, Iowa was great....what's your favorite song?

[Brew]

I love the self titled Slipknot album, I have it on picture disc vinyl.

A question to those that saw them on the Unholy Alliance tour, did they play the first few minutes of ''Iowa'' at one point? I haven't heard the song for ages and I'm not sure if that is what they played.

Apologies if this has already been asked + answered.

[Brew]

I think Sipknot are the best band live.I can't wait for the new DVD to come out. And i Have watched that video of them playing vermilion live, anf they were wearing their "Face" Masks. I am woundering if this is going to be forever. Any one else see this video?(The live one)

When I saw them live wearing the face masks, I was convinced they weren't wearing any form of mask at-all, due to not knowing about the Face Masks.

It really confused me seeing Dicknose playing on his drums without wearing his mask.

[TheSubtleArts]

Yeah, Iowa was great....what's your favorite song?

Disasterpiese. (especially live)

[lotsaswords4me]

man u ppl r lame. still comin here 2 bash the greatest band ever. i think that collectively, slipknot possesses the most talent of ne other band around. also, ive herd many "maggots" say that altho they r tru knot fans, they dont appreciate their new album. i personally think that's sum bullsh*t, cuz the bands just evolving guys! its ok 4 them 2 b a litl different here and there. but 2 get 2 the point, here's my 20 in no particular order:

1. spit it out
2. left behind
3. ppl= ****
4. purity
5. (SIC)
6. eyeless
7. scissors
8. skin ticket
9. (515) - i kno its not really a song, but i think its kool
10. the blister exists
11. duality (altho its a litl overplayed now)
12. vermillion
13.pulse of the maggots
14. heretic anthem
15. circle
16. no life
17. my plague
18. scream
19. liberate
20. everything ends

[paper2302]

Yeah, Iowa was great....what's your favorite song?


I like Left Behind and Metabolic and most of the rcord, actually all of it.

[TheSubtleArts]

my favorites off iowa are disasterpiese, people=sh*t, and heretic anthum

They did at the Jagermiester Tour.It was cool.Chris and Shawn brought out these big congas and played them with those sticks with the ball on them.Im sure they are doing it for this tour aswell.

You my friend, are very mislead.I love Slipknot aswell but there are MANY bands that posess(or just display) a much higher talent than Slipknot.At one point, I was convinced that they were the greatest band alive.I probably still would had I never listened to any other metal.But hell, who says you have to have incredibly intricate music to be enjoyable.Slipknot is doing a great job with what they do.The fact that they have such loyal fans is proof of this.

I agree with you. I LOVE slipknot. I think they are great. But. They definatly aren't the greatest. There is always someone better. But on the other hand if someone thinks that Slipknot is the best thing out there, I'm not goin to critisize cause they are allowed to feel that way. :D

[Brew]

Cool.

I was stood there thinking to myself ''what the feck are they playing?'' for awhile, then I recognised the bass line and had a feeling it was Iowa that they were playing.


When they play Spit it Out live and get everyone to crouch down is possibly the best part of the show, I've done it twice now :cool:
When I saw them in Cardiff I was right at the barrier going nuts, my knees got smashed into the barrier so much.

It was worth it though.

[MANIX-IV]

the rules cover all of that....maybe some people should read that.....

Not many people check out the first post of a topic...

i hate how some people dont do it tho, and make cory cuss them out. its like just do it and have fun.

[Paranoidd]

Maybe they don't want to crouch down. I'd tell Corey, that wanker, to go **** himself. I go to a concert to hear music, not to play simon says.

Less of the Slipknot bashing k?

Corey swears at the crowd no matter what they do, but sending Sid into the pit on the Disasterpieces DVD was a bit harsh.

Funny to watch though.

[Paranoidd]

I just loathe Corey. I love MFKR, everything else is dodgy to me.

[Brew]

I'm getting a copy of MFKR soon, I've heard very good things about it.

Corey can be a twat at times, but he's a good bloke really.


Does anyone remember when Slipknot played on T.F.I Friday? It used to be a music show on Channel 4 in England. They played Wait & Bleed and knocked out a camera, they only just about managed to fit on the stage.

That was about 5 years ago now.

[Paranoidd]

MFKR is great.

You can actually tell they have a bassist.

[Brew]

:eek:

Sweet.


Theres a few songs on the other 3 albums where you can hear the bass.

[relliK]

I just loathe Corey. I love MFKR, everything else is dodgy to me.

So why exactly do you hate Corey so much?

[slipknut666]

Calm down man, it was just an opinion. Yeah his guitar parts aren't very difficult, but it fits the music. Same with, like we said, the bass parts. Not difficult but it fits the music. I mean can you picture Slipknot doing Eddie Van Halen or Kirk Hammet style guitar solos?
ok ok ok i just got pissed when i read his post and he always gives everybody **** for bashing SlipKnot and here he goes and bashes Mick, who in MY opinion is the greatest guitarist out there. and yes i can see Mick playin Kirk Hammet and Eddie Van Halen style solos!!!!!

p.s. to the so called Heavy0metal0freak.....stay the **** off the thread you fagget!!!!!

fagget is childish thing to say,..........oh no one in slipknot can ever be considered the greatest ever, to put him in the same league as eddie van halen is an offense

[disasterpiece_012345678_515]

I dont like ibanez.....:\......I still love his BC Rich guitars....so......uhh....yea...Lol

He probly only went with Ibanez cuz the B.C. Rich company....Companies like that never give their players any free ****

nobody really cares if you dont liek slipknot people. this is a forum for people who like slipknot to talk about them, just as it says on the firts post if you would read it.

[relliK]

Yeah, but Slipknut666's statement made me sit low in my chair as a Slipknot fan.That was just absurd.

[Paranoidd]

So why exactly do you hate Corey so much?

He's a horrible vocalist, and he is one of the main reasons I don't listen to much Slipknot beyond MFKR. Anders wasn't THAT great, but I'd take him over Corey anytime. He's more image than talent.

I can't stand his lyrics primarily, they're so angsty (in a bad way) and childish that they actually laughable. They're based on stupid little catch phrases that a plethora of idiots can relate to.

"If you're 555 then I'm 666" or however it goes, what the hell kind of stupid garbage is that?

His raspy ballady type singing sounds identical to crap like Nickelback or Chevelle. I don't know why he gets credit for doing ballady songs--the raspy voice has been done long ago, and it's been done better. I can't stand his screaming, it has no conviction to me. Basically I don't really like anything he does.

His singing absolutely kills the music for me. If they got a different singer, dropped the samples/DJ/percussionists, I'd probably like them alot more.

Some people like him though, so whatever.

[Paranoidd]

Mick plays primarily drop string power chords with the occasional solo. He moves across the strings occasionally, yes, and he is capable of shredding, yes, he does some trem picking, yes, but he's not even in the same league as people who are considered "great."

So before you go whining about your precious opinion, consider that your opinion is wrong.

[slipknut666]

You have to realize this is the internet, and not everyone will agree with you. A lot of people have different opinions, and sometimes they won't always be what you want them to be.

In my opinion, Mick has his own style, but I don't appear to like it. Doesn't meant I hate it, just that I prefer other styles.

Slipknot isn't terrible compared to their new album. I feel the band has grown a lot better than previous albums (besides KMFR).

Well, Anders' vocals were all about a card game or something like that.At least Corey is trying to say something with his lyrics.While his lyrics are angsty(more so then than now), they really didnt differ too much from oh say Suffocation lyrics or alot of other death metal bands for that matter.I agree with you about those stupid catch phrases.If it were up to me, Heretic Anthem would have never been released, because it is the reason people like slipknut666 like the band.But I can really only name about 3 or 4 songs that have a stupid catch phrase like that so you cant say his lyric writing is based on it.Please read his Vol.3 lyrics and point out what exactly is so childish about them.I see nothing.

IMO he sounds nothing like Nickleback or Chevelle's singer at all.Nor is his voice even that raspy.He has a fairly good singing voice.I dont see why people hate it.

[stone sour]

do you know what i especially hate people who like only old music so they discriminate the newer bands.

[DOLEMITE]

dont really like slipknot but i respect them as musicians

[Paranoidd]

I had vol. 3 before most people, because I'm a download whore :D

I was very disappointed with it from the get go...

The thing kills me about Coreys lyrics is, to me, it seems like he writes in the worst way possible. It's kind of difficult to explain, if you've ever written lyrics, it's the forumla you try to AVOID. The vibe I get off his lyrics is like he has already chosen two words to rhyme, and the rest of verse is simply filler to get to those words...you know what I'm trying to say?

I have screamed until my veins collapsed
I've waited as my time's elapsed

Something like that...it's just weak. It seems like a forced rhyme, like he needed SOMETHING to rhyme with collapsed, so he came up with "elasped" and wrote the verse around it. That's just the vibe that I get from it, you may not agree, and that's fair enough. I can write verses like that too, they may even make sense, but they just don't sound right.

Stuff like "all I've got is insane" is just weak. It's straightforward, yes, and that isn't necessarily bad, but it just sounds stupid to me.

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
If the pain goes on,
I'm not gonna make it!

Something like that...it's poor imagery and sounds so forced. OOoooOh I'm hardcore, I push my fingers in my eyes, blah blah. Kids eat this crap up, and I don't know why. It reminds me of those goth kids who act all melancholy just for the sake of doing it, and make poetry like "woe is me" type of crap. It's like saying just for the sake of saying it.

I also find Corey utterly redundant. In "The Pulse Of The Maggots" I was wondering how many times he could possibly say the same thing...was driving me crazy. I got that as a promo before the album came out, and I was hoping the rest of the record didn't sound like that...

Oh, and don't think I meant Anders was a better lyricist, because I think Corey is better...Anders lyrics are bloody well stupid 90% of the time, it's just that if I'm going to listen to lyrics I don't like either way, I'd rather hear Anders. I also liked the music they did on MFKR much better. Tracks like do nothing/bitchslap totally hold my interest. Slipknots newer stuff just seems to drag on to me, and I'm ready to skip ahead before the track is even half done.

I actually defend slipknot alot more than people realize. However, somebody who thinks that Mick is the best in the world is just as stupid as somebody who thinks he's utterly talentless, and it's unfortunate that a majority of slipknot fans don't know how to discuss things without having a heart attack when you suggest to them their opinion isn't accurate (I'm not talking about you Rellik, or guys like Joz. You keep this thread going).

It's just that I'm usually defending Joey or Mick, which isn't too hard. If people complain about Corey, I usually agree.

On a side note:

P.S. YOU need to go learn how to play guitar, then tell that Mick does anything overly special. He's a good player for what he does, but in no way compares to EVH, who YOU mentioned.

That's my point. Mick shines here and there but generally he plays alot of power chord riffs. Labelling him "the best ever" while there are insane virtuosos around just doesn't make any sense.

The pulse of the maggots solo is good, and interesting, but hearing me play it wouldn't change anything. I probably could if I wanted to take the time to learn it, anyone can play anything if they try, but that isn't the point. Mick is cool, I defend him to alot of people, but you can't even say he is "the best" because he doesn't even come close. You're thinking just because I think he isn't the best that I'm saying he's bad. Not so. I give him credit, but you can't justify what you're saying.

[slipknut666]

Why would you want to hear me play the solo?
so you can show everybody how so called "simple"(or whatever everybody keeps callin it) his solos are to play.

[Paranoidd]

I didn't say every one of his solos are "simple" to play. You picked probably his most complicated solo, that isn't a representation of everything he plays. How many slipknot songs even have solos?

[slipknut666]

I didn't say every one of his solos are "simple" to play. You picked probably his most complicated solo, that isn't a representation of everything he plays. How many slipknot songs even have solos?
they had a bitchin solo in "SIC", but they didnt have any super speedy solos until songs like "Pulse of the Maggots" and "Vermillion".

[Ouch me noggin]

Does anyone know where i can get mate feed kill repeat?

It's out of print. Only way you can get it is to download it.

[TheSubtleArts]

^ or buy it on ebay for like $300

[The JoZ]

^ i hate that i can never find good tabs for welcome or the solo for vermilion.

I tabbed out the Vermilion solo.

It isn't perfect, but a few people have told me it was pretty accurate sounding...

[TheSubtleArts]

^is it on mx tabs?

[The JoZ]

(I'm not talking about you Rellik, or guys like Joz. You keep this thread going).




:thumb:

I have to cut through the same BS for being a Tool fan. Like, there are idiot Tool fans who have given all Tool fans a bad rep.

And you cite Corey's lyrics in "Duality" as being weak...well, I won't argue that those particular lyrics aren't that great, but how about the lyrics in "Circle", "The Blister Exists" or "Vermilion"? Aside from Duality, I think he's matured in terms of his lyrics, compared to stuff off Iowa "I wanna slit your throat, f*ck the wound" "If you're 555, I'm 666", "You are all f*cked, and overrated, I think I'm gonna be sick and it's your fault" or stuff off the S/T "All you wanna do is drag me down, all I wanna do is stamp you out", "Get this or die! (x20)" etc.

[The JoZ]

^is it on mx tabs?

No, it isn't yet.

I will put my tab of Vermilion up later when I have nothing better to do, I have to go for now

double post ++

^if your a good tabber, you should tab welcome. i cant find any of that eather, ive tryed tabbing it but i suck so bad at it.

[maggot4875]

ive been wanting to play welcome its got such a sic solo to

[The JoZ]

I will post Vermilion and if you guys like it, go approve it, I guess. I will post it later today, hopefully.

I have already considered tabbing out Welcome as well...hmm

[Ouch me noggin]

It's out of print. Only way you can get it is to download it.

Sorry to hi-jack your thread guys but we felt like we needed to make an "Official" Slipknot thread and this thread is full of good information. If you have ANYTHING related to Slipknot post it here, don't make new threads. If you post something negative about Slipknot back up your statement. If you make a post that just says "Slipknot sucks" your gonna have some serious problems.

Anyway, enjoy and lets have some "INTELLIGENT" conversations and fun! SFK.


PLEASE:
No flaming SlipKnot in this thread
Don't just come in here and bash them, 'cause thats just childish
Don't come in here and bash other people in the thread, childish also

THIS IS PURELY FOR DISCUSSION ON SLIPKNOT

First I will ask:
Out of all SlipKnot's CD's (including singles with remixes)
Best 20 songs?

im listening to The Nameless. this is one of their best songs, shows good parts of their soft sides and heavy sides. very good song

GOOOOOOOOO SLIPKNOOOOTT

JOEY ROCKS


(sorry to get off topic but)if you guys want a band that sounds a lot like slipknot (which I actually like this band better,) their name is V-Mob, download some of their stuff, theyre not very well known but their music is AWESOME. if you have trouble finding their music email me at frankenstein202@hotmail.com and ill send you some.

[Paranoidd]

Yeah knew that it was outta print but where can i down load it from?

http://www.suprnova.org is where I got it from.

[Refl]

I like like slipknot, IOWA was very dissapointing though.

[maggot4875]

i want to talk about slipknot and "nu metal".I do admit there new album was nu metal but how is there older stuff.Listen to sic and eyeless from self titled,and especially listen to disasterpeices and metabolic from iowa and tell me that was written to appeal a large crowd.

[maggot4875]

and also mick said they did write guitar solos in their first 2 albums but the producer took them out just to tell you all

[Gotkookie]

I am not a fan of slipknot, in my opinion they are highly overrated, and they have the gayest fans ever. Their early stuff was alright. Their breakdowns are softer than Charmen toilet paper.

[Paranoidd]

They have four albums, although Mick didn't record the first one. I have no respect for anybody who blames their producer for anything.

"Well, I wrote these great solos, but my producer took them out."

Well, then you're a tool for having a stupid producer. No excuse.

[maggot4875]

i never said it was the producers fault i said they did write solos and yes they are stupid for having a gay producer

[Paranoidd]

You said the producer took them out...that makes it the producers fault.

[maggot4875]

im saying what mick said

[maggot4875]

maybe the producer did take them out because he didnt want any solos but thats what he said on an interview i think from guitar world

[lotsaswords4me]

He's a horrible vocalist, and he is one of the main reasons I don't listen to much Slipknot beyond MFKR. Anders wasn't THAT great, but I'd take him over Corey anytime. He's more image than talent.

I can't stand his lyrics primarily, they're so angsty (in a bad way) and childish that they actually laughable. They're based on stupid little catch phrases that a plethora of idiots can relate to.

"If you're 555 then I'm 666" or however it goes, what the hell kind of stupid garbage is that?

His raspy ballady type singing sounds identical to crap like Nickelback or Chevelle. I don't know why he gets credit for doing ballady songs--the raspy voice has been done long ago, and it's been done better. I can't stand his screaming, it has no conviction to me. Basically I don't really like anything he does.

His singing absolutely kills the music for me. If they got a different singer, dropped the samples/DJ/percussionists, I'd probably like them alot more.

Some people like him though, so whatever.
ok dude, listen. first of all, ur thinking that slipknot would b better off without him, when in reality, they couldn't survive like that. anders sucked big time, and the band made a good decision bringing corey in. just because he uses lyrics that you think have no meaning, it doesn't mean that they dont. ever heard of a word called "metaphor"? hmm? well "if you're 555 then i'm 666" means that he'll never be what people want him 2 b just 2 make more people like him. he won't become sum sellout just so ppl like u will think more highly of him. also, he can do more than "screaming and raspy voice singing" as was displayed in vol. 3, but this is METAL. its not supposed to be light and pretty, go listen 2 jessica simpson if u want that. and dude, to drop all those musicians u want them 2 would b suicide. slipknot is who they are becuz of its TALENTED members. i agree with slipknut666 man, just get the f*ck off here if all ur gonna do is b*tch about a great band. same 2 all u other losers who've ben goin on bout how mick couldn't play a real solo and sh*t like that. god****! this is a thread for slipknot FANS!!!!!!

[lotsaswords4me]

Well, Anders' vocals were all about a card game or something like that.At least Corey is trying to say something with his lyrics.While his lyrics are angsty(more so then than now), they really didnt differ too much from oh say Suffocation lyrics or alot of other death metal bands for that matter.I agree with you about those stupid catch phrases.If it were up to me, Heretic Anthem would have never been released, because it is the reason people like slipknut666 like the band.But I can really only name about 3 or 4 songs that have a stupid catch phrase like that so you cant say his lyric writing is based on it.Please read his Vol.3 lyrics and point out what exactly is so childish about them.I see nothing.

IMO he sounds nothing like Nickleback or Chevelle's singer at all.Nor is his voice even that raspy.He has a fairly good singing voice.I dont see why people hate it.
k dude, im totally with u on most of this, but nun of it is catch phrases. give me sumthing u think is and ill tell u its REAL meaning.

[Boersch]

they look like complete retards. What the hell is the point

[lotsaswords4me]

I am not a fan of slipknot, in my opinion they are highly overrated, and they have the gayest fans ever. Their early stuff was alright. Their breakdowns are softer than Charmen toilet paper.
then y the f*ck r u on here dumb@$$?

[Boersch]

maybe he is interested in what other people think ov the band, calm the **** down dude

[The JoZ]

You said the producer took them out...that makes it the producers fault.


It was.

On S/T and Iowa, you have the epitome of Ross Robinson's sound.

On MFKR, I think they self-produced it, so there you go.

On Volume 3, Rick Rubin, IMO, worked magic and we got something great...

Maybe you think they are tools for listening to their producer, but in a way, I think it helped them grow. They knew they could do better than S/T and Iowa, so they got rid of Robinson, and let their real talent show...

Oh yeah, I'll post the Vermilion tab on MXtabs in a few.

[relliK]

http://www.roadrun.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=26520

^go there and read the comments.James Murphy(ex-Death, Testament, Obituary) himself signed on and defended Mick's playing ability.I personally think his comment is high praise.

So who knows how well he can really play.His soloing on Vol.3 was far too brief for me to really conclude on his skills.Anyway, heres a video of him doing some shredding: http://www.line6.com/media/SpiderII/video/Slipknot_Mick.wmv

[kirkrock85]

if you don't my asking... what's the big deal with slipknot?

[relliK]

i want to talk about slipknot and "nu metal".I do admit there new album was nu metal but how is there older stuff.Listen to sic and eyeless from self titled,and especially listen to disasterpeices and metabolic from iowa and tell me that was written to appeal a large crowd.

If anything Vol.3 was alot less Nu Metal than their older stuff.They were just unlucky enough to blow up when the "nu metal craze" was hitting its peak.Nu Metal is not a genre, its a marketing lable."Nu Metal" was the hot thing at on point so the industry started slapping it on any new band in order to make money.How else would Slipknot and Linkin Park be put in the same genre?It doesnt matter anyway."Nu metal" will be a forgotten term in 10 years.Slipknot will likely still be remembered.....as a metal band(which is fitting).As a matter of fact, the same magazines calling them "nu metal" 3 years ago now lable them as a metal band.

[relliK]

k dude, im totally with u on most of this, but nun of it is catch phrases. give me sumthing u think is and ill tell u its REAL meaning.

Im not saying they dont have meaning, they do."If your 555 Im 666" was written to appeal to people.To be remembered.Now it echoes in Jr.High Schoolyards everywhere.Making it, a catch phrase.


if you don't my asking... what's the big deal with slipknot?
Whats the big deal with Almond cookies?I couldnt tell you.D-l or buy Vol.3 and judge for yourself.

[The JoZ]

Alright, I tried posting Vermilion, but there are too many tabs, bad I might add, and I can't.

Anyone wants the solo, download this attachment

[Paranoidd]

I am a slipknot fan, idiot. How many more times do I have to say it? Just because I don't post the same drivel as everybody else like "WHUTS UR FAVRTITE SONG?????" doesn't mean I'm not a fan of the band.

By the way, just so you know, Corey was added as a SECOND vocalist, and it was Anders who quit. Nobody in the band knew Anders was going to quit, he surprised them at a show. Corey was singing in that crappy Stone Sour band that Slipknot BEAT at the battle of the bands.

If you're so concerned music that's not "light and pretty" then why are you listening to Vol 3 anyways?

[Brogan]

Why do most people find the new album (subliminal verses) crap? I reckon it's their best album, they have strong songs like Sic and Liberate, then they have Circles and Vermin Pt2 (2 acustic songs) They are the greatest Slipknot songs ever, Iowa was **** as, Self Titled is great, full of angry, strong music and Subliminal Verses is like Self Titled but with some nice, slower songs. Anyone disagree?

[TheSubtleArts]

^ i think Iowa had more angry and heavier songs than s/t. almost every1 of them was.

[TheSubtleArts]

i dont think they've moved on to a differant style of music with vol. 3 like some people think. i think thier just displaying what they can do. they obviously still play thier old music in concerts and such.

[The JoZ]

What has anyone thought about the tab?

Horrible? Good? Close?

Just wondering, before I try to tab out any more songs (Welcome, for example)

[TheSubtleArts]

^ i though it was good. its the only one ive seen with the solo on it and it sounds right to me. :thumb:

I Love Vol.3, It's one of the album i like every song on, besides Beyond The Valley Of the Muderdolls
But I have to dissagree with you on Iowa ... it's amazing just listen to songs live disasterpieces and New Abortion

[slipknut666]

uhh.....excuse me but who the hell are you to make the decision on why i like SlipKnot?! i loved SlipKnot before The Heretic Anthem was even released. although i do love their anthems(Surfacing, People=****, The Heretic Anthem). but i love SlipKnot for many other reasons to.

[TheSubtleArts]

^ i love thier anthums too, pulse of the maggots is considered one too i think. my favorite is people=sh**

[slipknut666]

^ i love thier anthums too, pulse of the maggots is considered one too i think. my favorite is people=sh**
oh yeah, i think Pulse of the Maggots is one to. i love em all but i gotta say Surfacing might be my favorite anthem.....

has any1 heard anything about slipknots new dvd? i heard its coming out in february sometime...

I totally agree, Vol 3 shows people a different side to the band, they dont just scream and shout while flailing their instruments. They are all VERY talented musicians, no matter what people say.

[Shadows]

If you want to see the truely talented side of Slipknot go back and listen to Mate Feed Kill Repeat. Beats the **** out of anything they've done since.

[TheSubtleArts]

^ i agree but i dont really like anders vocals. do nothing/bitchslap is like one of my favorite songs tho.

[TMNTmaggotxXx]

This might have already been asked but what does everyone think of the Vermillion video/ song and What is your favorite slipknot music video Wait And Bleed (animated) Wait and Bleed Live (terrible IMO) Spit It Out Left Behind My Plauge (bad as well) Duality and Vermillion i think thats all of them.

[xxjunoxx]

im sorry but how can you like slipknot?? if you are 13 and under in understand but once you are 14 you should definitely look at more mature bands....bands that are real metal and not nu-metal.....

[Kage]

[acdcfreak]

Which slipknot songs do you guys listen to when you're really pissed? I usually blast Surfacing or Everything Ends, when i'm in a bad mood.

[The JoZ]

People = Sh*t

Get This

True (MFKR is also my favorite Slipknot album), but it was also a different band. I try not to compare it with their newer work.

Anders Colsefni
Donnie Steele
Josh Brainard
Paul Gray
Joey Jordison
Shawn Crahan

Only three of those guys are still in the band.

But then again (not trying to argue, just looking at it from a different perespective) Corey was with the band doing backing vocals at the time. That means four of the current members were involved in MFKR. Them, especially Corey, could bare a lot of the blame for their style changing so dramatically.

Corey wasnt on MFKR.He joined shortly after it.

Donnie Steele did the recording of the S/T album too, from what I understand, before Jim came in :thumb:

Either way. I listen to MFKR, and wish Paul would rip it up now like he used to. He was quoted saying that he "gets to show off a few times on the new album" but that he "prefers to lock into a really tight rhythm", with so many people in the band.

Anyone who doubts Paul, listen to MFKR. I gained alot more respect for him as a bassist after hearing that, and after reading things where he talks like a musician as opposed just some dude playing bass.

I still think Volume 3 is their best, as a whole, album. But MFKR is right behind it, for being probably one of the most original albums ever.

[Paranoidd]

You're right about Donnie. Jim came in on Iowa.

I completely agree with what you said about Paul. After hearing MFKR, I actually had to check to make sure he was the same guy.

[Paranoidd]

Corey was in Stone Sour at the time. Slipknot actually beat out Stone Sour in the Battle of the Bands. Corey came in to do backup vocals live, and Anders decided to quit. He did it on stage without notifying anybody else beforehand. Corey didn't work on the album, though, as far as I know.

[ExitSandman]

I only know one good slipknot's song and that's wait and bleed. If anyone knows some others (related to that one) please tell me it, cause I'd like to know.

[The JoZ]

I only know one good slipknot's song and that's wait and bleed. If anyone knows some others (related to that one) please tell me it, cause I'd like to know.

If you want stuff like "Wait and Bleed", I'd suggest the following

Liberate
Surfacing
Get This
People = ****
Left Behind
My Plague
Spit it Out
Diluted

If you want good material that sounds nothing like Wait and Bleed

The Blister Exists
Duality
Opium of the People
Welcome
Vermilion
Pulse of the Maggots
Before I Forget

And if you want really weird, but good material

Confessions
Do Nothing / Bitchslap
Tattered and Torn
Killers are Quiet

[darthfrodo99]

i dont have 20 favorite songs but my 2 favorite songs are snap (the 97 demo for anyone who doesnt know, not to bash anyone) and liberate. liberate uckfaying rocks! do not say anything bad about me because if you do, nothing bad will happen.....

The correct phrase would be "Liberate ucking-Fay ocks-Ray!"

uckfaying is not a word.

[relliK]

It was actually Josh, not Donnie.The only song Jim did for that album was Purity which was removed.

[Paranoidd]

Actually, I know...I realized that later but didn't edit it hoping nobody would point out I was wrong. :upset:

Donnie left when he "found God."

[relliK]

Well, as he found God the rest of Slipknot found $omething el$e.

I don't know...he may label himself as one, but it would be untrue. I doubt it.

[threemoresteps]

I heard that Jim got arrested with Heroine, Cocaine, pot and Vicodin in a car crash, (i wish i was the car who crashed him) I wish I would be in Slipknot

[Paranoidd]

Take all those drugs, maybe they'll let you in.

[Aberrationbass]

Paul is soooooooo awsome its not fair that he doesnt try anymore he tries as much as Lars these days!
MFKR is still there best album tho
It annoyed me how they took Purity off and Frail Limb Nursery (which ive never heard) Purity is a awsome song the reason they took it off was that the story it was based on turned out to not be true but i think they should of still left it on

[relliK]

I heard that Jim got arrested with Heroine, Cocaine, pot and Vicodin in a car crash, (i wish i was the car who crashed him) I wish I would be in Slipknot

Better yet, I wish I was the needle injecting him with the heroin!!!lol!!That would be soooooooo awesome!!!It was Paul, not Jim.
