Rock and Metal's Slipknot Thread

[BlindWriting]

You could have used a better reason to bump this thread, but sure.

Anyway, who's going to see Slipknot with LoG and Shadows Fall?
I am on March 6th. Should be cool.
Still, though, I really hate Lamb of God.

[^Dream~Theater^]

Have you heard Lamb's Ashes Of The Wake cd? That might change your perspective.

[Sleeper]

Have you ever played one to know? The Platinum and the Platinum Pro series are some really solid guitars.
Yeh i have played them, i just dont get the right feel with B.C Rich guitars for some reason.

[1&aHALFstep]

Bump :D

Slipknot RULES! As a musician, slipknot raises the bar for not only metal but music. I mean, the time signatures and the feeling you get just from the percussion is overwhelming. I think, when you have more than 4 members in a band, and your all really talented musicians and realize to allow the precedence to jump around.... Well who can't just love the f**kin s**t out of it. Long Live Slipknot!!

BTW, I think their first album was the best **** they ever made. So raw, so unedited. No ballads, just METAL!

[LifeIsDandy]

I would really like to see Slipknot on tour. I've been a fan for a while, and even though I'm partcial to their older material, I enjoy their new cd too. Hopefully I can get some money together to see them.

[i am the robots]

No offense to all the Slipknot fans here, a couple of years ago I used to love them to death, but looking back at them I realize that they only have a handful of really good songs, a few of the songs here and there are just basic nu-metal, but Mate Feed Kill Repeat owned.... now they've gotten kinda lame.... seriously their set is just huge pentagrams and 666, that's just not cool.

Volume 3 definetly raised the bar as far as mainstream metal goes, but their earlier albums were really just alot of noise.

S/T had a couple of catchy songs on it, but for the most part, agreed :thumb:

[thelittledrummerboy]

im seeing slipknot at the hordern pavillion on the 29th it will be mad

They say it will be the show of the century. Wish I was goin but i just came back from Sydney 2 day :upset:

[1&aHALFstep]

I do have to agree. Vol 3 done alot for mainstream metal, but that's what I can't stand. Seems like all the good bands, or at least the songs they make for mainstream are lacking. I mean... it's like the feeling is sucked out. I'm not saying their not good songs, or that their not composed correctly or any s**t like that. I just think they don't put what they 'feel' in it. Seems like some big wig producer steps in and hacks at their ****. Slipknot's first album is like so chaotic and blitzkrieg, and, to me, it seems like that's what they was wanting you think about them. They wanted you to associate Slipknot with mayhem. Now... it's like "who can bash their ****in brains out to circle or vermilion." NOT F**KIN ME! This is just my opinion...not trying to bash all the Vol 3 lovers.

[Huber]

The virus of life is a crazy instrumental kinda song, has some vocals though.

The Lyrics to that song are probably the best ever written by Slipknot.

[paco999]

IDK but i wanna hear their very first cd but for now VOl 3 is the one i listen to the most and Iowa is the one i like the least (no offence to ne one that would like Iowa).

But is there ne one that really liked it cause i just liked 5 of the songs on that cd?

[XNeon]

Iowa is their hate album. You gotta get angry :D

I like the album anyway even when im not angry.

[Sleeper]

Yeh i agree, i didnt like that song to much at first when i got the album. But after listening to the album i started to really enjoy it. I always thought the lyrics for Gently were good.

Iowa is the big middle finger

[XNeon]

Iowa is the big middle finger

If you like self titled you should like Iowa imo.

[TheSubtleArts]

s/t is really energetic and raw, iowa is a darker album but alot like s/t is some songs, and vol.3 is kinda of the more advanced album i guess, with better lyrics, guitar solos, ect.

[^Dream~Theater^]

How do you know they don't feel what they play?

[Huber]

Anders wrote Gently. It might not be that they're good lyrics, just differen't because Corey didn't write it. Same goes for Scissors. Joey wrote scissors and I can kinda tell it wasn't Corey.

[i am the robots]

They say it will be the show of the century. Wish I was goin but i just came back from Sydney 2 day :upset:

Slipknot the show of the century????!@!!!??! LMAO, if you want nu-metal that is good live, go see Linkin Park or Korn live, not Slipknot, they're terrible live. And no band can put on a show like In Flames, and they'll never be close to playing "the show of the century".

[Mister_Che]

Maybe not show of the century, but they defenitely put on a better live show than Linkin Park.

[^Dream~Theater^]

Slipknot is by far better live than Korn.

Scissors is such a great song, when they released welcome to our neighborhood on dvd. They put a live video of slipknot doing scissors in concert.

[i am the robots]

Maybe not show of the century, but they defenitely put on a better live show than Linkin Park.

You've obviously never seen Linkin Park live

[munky_magik]

You've obviously never seen Linkin Park live

and you know this how....?

That "big wig producer" that stepped in only lend them a studio and made weekly visits to check on their progress.I can assure you that Vol.3 was 100% Slipknot.Rick would give a suggestion, and let Slipknot run with it.Unlike Ross Robinson, who was in the studio with them the whole time "hacking at their ****".Mick had a long guitar solo on (sic) that we will never hear because of Ross.As well as some added technicallity in the songs that was cut out by him also.

It might depending on how much you've actually listened to Vol.3?The first time I listened to it, I thought it sounded unfocused, lackluster, and just thought it was pure rubbish.The more I listened to it the more I saw the big picture.I notice things in it now that I didnt catch before.The emotion for instance.Its like the dynamic of it is hidden subliminally.The only way to unlock it is by giving it repeated listens.One thing that I noticed recently is how well the music is in harmony with Corey's vocals.Vermilion is a good example of this.Listen to how well Corey's vocals feed off the guitar.Its almost like he's controlling the little changes with his words.I dont know, I was high when I noticed it.

[relliK]

Slipknot is by far better live than Korn.

Which could be why Korn ducked out of a tour with them in 2000.Or so I heard.

[willis2441]

no offense to all you slipknot fans out there, i do like iowa and s/t but they have too many members in their band. i mean 3 percussionists? thats killin me. joey is a very good drummer, but the other two guys, they can stop playin and you wouldnt even notice, they ride they same thing they hit. thats not much talent. i like the scrather and the guitarists along w/ joey(very good drummer). its just to me, too many members. maybe their nice guys and let all their friend into the band because they felt sorry for them.

The reason behind all the drummers is because the idea behind Slipknot was to have a heavy band with a tribal kind of sound. THey accomplished it. Once you notice it, they sound pretty tribal because of all the drums.

Whatever happened to " dont just come in and dis SlipknoT ? What is the point of coming in a SlipknoT thread if you hate them so much anyway ?

Oh well, i read about the favorite 20 songs, and i dont feel like putting 20, so ill put 7 :

1. Pulse of the MaggoTs
2. Everything Ends
3. Left Behind
4. People = sh!t
5. Surfacing
6. I am hated
7. The blister exists

[i am the robots]

and you know this how....?

it's just a dumb comment, the way it's phrased is basically LP is too mainstream thoughtless flaming.... especially since Linkin Park is known to be amazing live./

[Kage]

I guess some people just cannot hear music. Slipknot has a very percussive sound. While Joey lays down the beat and crashes the cymbols, etc., the other two precussionists add a very rythmic, lock-step percussive sound, and that's why they're there. On some songs they might not necessarily need that, but it sounds really good when they do.l

[Huber]

I haven't done this yet, and I'm really bored so here goes.

Top 20 Slipknot songs:

1. Purity(Live)*
2. (SiC)
3. The Blister Exists
4. The Virus of Life
5. The Heretic Anthem
6. Pulse of the Maggots
7. Spit It Out
8. Wait and Bleed
9. My Plague
10. Welcome
11. People = ****
12. Scream
13. Eeyore
14. Surfacing
15. Tattern and Torn (MFKR version)
16. Get This
17. Spit It Out (Hyper Tension)
18. Snap
19. New Abortion
20. No Life

*The live version of Purity is hands down the best Slipknot performance there is. Plus, it's better than the studio version. I have the vid. If I continue to be bored I'll upload it.

[NnyTard]

i'm sort of pissed off that although slipknot is doing the big day out in melb in a few days time, their side concert is 18+ i can't go to either of them.

wait and bleed and my plague are 2 of my fave songs by slipknot.

[ExitSandman]

How many guitarists does slipknot have? 2 or 3? Also which one of them is better. I know Mick with that warlock, and that other guy with ibanez I think. Also which one does the solos and which one does riffs, etc.

[TheSubtleArts]

they have 2 guitarists. Mick used to play a warlock, but plays ibanez now, and the other is jim. both play guitar solos and kinda take turns on lead. mick does most guitar solos and faster parts so i guess you can call him lead.

[relliK]

Which one?The one on the Disasterpieces DVD?I thought that one was pretty good.

[TheSubtleArts]

yea i thought disasterpieses dvd was great. thats a good vid of purity. i liked the jump the **** up part in spit it out too.

[relliK]

Which reminds me, they have a new DVD coming out in June or something.Its not gonna be like Disasterpieces.Shawn said it's gonna give more of a indept look at the band.

[TTTSNB]

I think that SLipknot is a group of excellent musicians, but their not my style. However, I have a few songs I like of theirs, which include Spit it Out, any of their songs with blast beats, and Wait and Bleed.

^I suggest u read the rules man.

[GeeTarus]

I know I'm a little late on the whole 'Best 20 Songs' topic, but i just discovered this thread.

1. Pulse of the Maggots
2. Eyeless
3. Three Nil
4. Eeyore
5. Only One
6. Purity
7. The Blister Exists
8. Diluted
9. The Heretic Anthem
10. Me Inside
11. (sic)
12. People = ****
13. Spit It Out
14. Surfacing
15. Vermilion
16. Vermilion Pt. 2
17. Disasterpiece
18. New Abortion
19. Opium of the People
20. The Virus of Life

[GeeTarus]

Personally, i think all the members are extremely talented. Even though, Chris(3) and Shawn(6) may not be needed on percussion for some songs, they are good backing vocalists live.

The only one i would have to comment on would be Craig(5). I'm pretty sure he does contribute to the songs on the albums, but when you see the Disasterpieces DVD it doesn't look like he does anything. I'm not bashing Slipknot for this reason i'm just saying it would be cooler if you could notice his contributions in concert a lot more

SLIPKNOT RULES!!!

Well Craig used to play guitar for Slipknot before their self titled album came out.

They both play leads on the new album, kinda like trade-off slayer-type stuff.

They are both great guitar players, i havent seen Jim play enough stuff outside of slipknot to see how good his chops are though, mick ive seen that line6SpiderII video and i was pretty impressed.

Yeh i saw that today...The only difference i saw between the Australian Edition and the regular version was the Covers, Back and Front, Although i gues if i had to choose one i would get the Australian version.

btw: The concert was....Crazy. :thumb:

[NnyTard]

the tour edition has a bonus cd of live tracks and maybe remixes... it has i think 1 unreleased song on it maybe...

Arent they suposed to be re-releasing that cd sometime. I have seen it stores before. Try sam goody or camelot music.

[relliK]

No, there are no plans of re-releasing MFKR.Just download it from somewhere, that cd owns.

[TheSubtleArts]

i burned mine off a friend who had a copy of it. i would just download them, there is only 7 songs i think besides Killers are quiet (which would take forever to download and is pretty pointless anyways),, or you can buy it on ebay for like $300. sweet album though.

[NnyTard]

$300?

no thanks...

[Huber]

It's not 300 bucks. I just "bought it now" on eBay for 25.

[paco999]

why would u pay $300 for it?

I heard its awesome but c'mon.

[Sleeper]

MFKR is ok, i wouldnt but it

[TheSubtleArts]

i wasnt suggesting to anyone to buy it at that price anyways, i just went on ebay one time and saw it for 300

[NnyTard]

might that have been a new unopened one or something?

[Nostalgia]

i got a question well im going to a slipknot concert in april 05 and i was wondering if their is any other stuff that i should know before i go their. Or something i should expect. Will they play any of their older stuff? i like older stuff more than newer

I highly doubt they will play Liberate.

[TheSubtleArts]

I highly doubt they will play Liberate.

they played it on the Yegarmiester Tour and Ozzfest.

[Thor]

they played it on the Yegarmiester Tour and Ozzfest.
They play Liberate at almost all of their shows.
Oh and by the way, its Jagermeister.

[The JoZ]

I don't think they did Liberate when they came here this past summer...

I kind of wish they had though, even though their set was awesome.

[^Dream~Theater^]

I seen them in Jan and they didn't play Liberate and wasn't on any of their other setlists on the tour so it's not always a for sure thing.

i've seen a lot of people get that problem before here, don't worry about it

are all their concerts 18+ (other than the big day out concert and stuff?)

[sick_maggot]

are all their concerts 18+ (other than the big day out concert and stuff?)

No. I saw them live on the Monday night after the Gold Coast Big Day Out with Hatebreed and Japunga, and it was an all ages gig. it was quite good eh, pretty fuggin' good. shame we had to wait for half an hour cos the fagets at the front wouldn't let 'em fix the broken barrier. Meh, it rocked. So no, there are some all ages happening with them ay.

[TheSubtleArts]

ozzfest was all ages too i think.

[Huber]

Yeah, it is.

[Thor]

Yeah its all ages. My friends went to go see them at the Jagermeister Tour last year with Fear Factory and Chimaira. I heard it was awesome, but Slipknot wasnt the best band there, even though they were the main act.

yea that was a great show, slipknot played alot of songs off the new album, but that was like a month before it came out, so i didnt really kno anything they were playing, but they are still great live and everything. i didnt really like fear factory all that much but chimaira was good.

They don't play any of them, sadly. I wish that they would play "Do Nothing/Bitchslap", that would be great to see live, because then Paul Grey would actually do something interesting for a change.

[xXCutxUpxAngelXx]

Hmm...20..Ok Here it goes:
Wait and bleed
Duality
do nothing(bitchslap)

Ok The drummer from cradle of filth isnt as good as Joey, I can play Nympetamine and Gilded Cunt, I have been playing drums since I was 7 and I still cant play anything by slipknot. Im a Big cradle of filth fan and they kick *** and Im a huge slipknot fan, and I love them both, but the drums arnt as hard to play.

Im a Big cradle of filth fan and they kick *** and Im a huge slipknot fan, and I love them both, but the drums arnt as hard to play.

All it takes to play Joey's stuff is some stamina. I can play most of it. I'm just out of shape and it took me awhile to build up a roll like that. If you can play a semi-long double-bass roll and do quad licks (the root of EVERY fill of Joey's) then you can play almost anything from Slipknot.

As for the drummers of Cradle of Filth and Dimmu I haven't listened enough of either bands to judge them. Especially after hearing lots of Slipknot, just giving a few listens to CoF or Dimmu wouldn't do me enough to compare. I've heard good things though, they're probably great drummers.

[Sleeper]

I dont think COF drummer is better than joey, i havent heard anything amazing as far as drums go in COF. I like the band alot but i mostly hear just double bass and randomn fills.

[TheSubtleArts]

What songs from MFKR do they play live?

cause i saw disaster pieces and i think they didn't play any or its just me. IDK

they dont play any, but they play the Iowa version of Gently, which is also on MFKR but is differant, same lyrics tho.

[Sleeper]

The gently version for Iowa is better IMO

[paco999]

^^^i love the Iowa version but i havent heard the MFKR one

[Nostalgia]

quick noob question does mfkr have corey singing in it? my friend told me it didn't

Nick Barker wasnt in Cradle of Filth when Nymphetamine was released. Just thought you might want to know. :thumb:

No, the singer in MFKR was Anders Colsefni. I really liked him, but Corey does get the job done as far as I am concerned.

[Sleeper]

Lol anders used to put eletrical tape over his face when they did live shows.

[TheSubtleArts]

Iowa version of Gently is better, but MFKR version of tattered and torn, and only one are better IMO

[NnyTard]

on the new tour tshirts, they have a pic of the band without their masks on, i think their faces are painted all blue or something isntead, its interesting, but really, they don't look too pretty without the masks on.

[jakrabit]

You cant realy compare MFKR and iowa they are 2 diffrent singers, 2 diffrent sounds .

As far as the new album goes i personaly think this is coreys album its what he wanted, i love the new album the mellow songs are great, corey really expresses his feelings through his voice. he has a great voice he neeeeds to show it more

Slipknot's previous 2 albums were percussion lead.Vol.3 was vocal lead.His vocals drove that whole album.Its a subdued dynamic in the album that I just noticed a couple months ago even though Ive had the album since May.Listen to the way the music is molded to fit his vocals.The guitars are almost in perfect harmony with his vocals in Vermilion.A few other songs aswell.Its awesome.Without a doubt the best performance of Corey's career.

[TheSubtleArts]

its probobly the "death masks" , the ones they wear wen they play vermilion. its like a mold of their faces

[Sleeper]

I have seen them play with the "death masks" before, I downloaded them playing vermillion live at some european award show. There pretty cool masks, I wouldnt be surprised they dont play a couple of shows on the Vol 3 tour with those masks.

[Thor]

The coolest masks were the ones they used in Iowa, but Corey's first mask was his coolest.

[TheSubtleArts]

yea i like Iowa masks the bast,, i especially dont like Sids new mask, gas mask thing was alot better

[NnyTard]

i haven't seen any of their new subliminal verses stuff yet.

[IDONO!!!!-lead vocalist..]

big up to all the fookin maggots out there! :evil: SPIT-IT-OUT! my band does my plague....im the vocalist (obvioulsy) :thumb: id 'd LOVE to see you growl better than me!.....(i actually would that would be sweet!,kuz im **** good ^_^)

What about the gas mask painted LIKE a skull. Either way, I always liked Jims Iowa mask the best.

[paco999]

I liked their masks from when they realese slipknot the original clown mask was my fvt one and corey's.

but the new ones are really good too

Nothing else should matter.

the other 2 arent "drummers" they just beat the **** out of stuff and maybe bang on some bassdrum like thing turned sidways, they dont play drumsets.

[The JoZ]

They play custom-made drumsets, and if you paid even half a bit of attention to their music, you'd notice where Chris and Shawn come in.

[TheSubtleArts]

they hit the kegs and are back up vocals too

[PepsiMetal]

Are those 2 custom drums identical or different?

[Huber]

Are those 2 custom drums identical or different?

They both use custom drums sets built by Shawn. They use:

2 Mount Toms
1 Floor Tom
1 Bass Drum, set up like the floor tom
1 Anheuser-Busch Beer Keg
Vater Hammer sticks (now they've been in ads for Vic Firth, so they may have changed)

About Slipknot. I hate their image. Masks are stupid. Their lyrics, for the most part, suck.

I will say, however, that Joey is a class drummer, and their two guitarists know how to shred. I think the idea of have 3 drummers is creative and makes the music a sh!tload heavier.

Slipknot could be a great band if they did the following:
- got rid of the masks
- stopped writing angsty lyrics
- got rid of their dj and keyboardist, and the other dude (I dont even know what he does)... frankly they could go without the extra drummers as well, but i guess they could experiment.
- signed onto an underground label and stopped whoring themselves to MTV.

Well, for one, they have no keyboardist. The guy you don't know who he is is probably Craig. Hes the sampler. Yes, seems pretty pointless, but that's something very debatable. DJ Sid Wilson did amazing work on S/T, he does good stuff.

I have no problem with your post besides you saying you think that having 3 drummers is creative, but then saying they can do without. Seemed a little contradictory, but can go both ways.

[apocalypse13]

I somewhat agree with Panzerfaust, but somewhat don't. I have to give Joey a lot of credit because he is definitely a good drummer. But if you look at all other old bands with good drummers, they only have one. Led Zepplin for example- listen to Moby Dick, it sounds like several sets of drums, but John Bonham was their only drummer. A good drummer doesn't need help. Sure, like he said, it's creative, but they really don't need three drummers. I've heard joey solo before, and he definitely doesn't need any help, but it really doesn't matter. About their guitarists, they need more creativity. Their heavy style matches the band, but you look at some of the greatest metal bands ever (Pantera, Iron Maiden, etc.), they do kick a'ss solos every song, and it only adds to their greatness. If their guitarists were able to make classic solos, they would be the perfect new metal band. Also, about the masks. Who cares?! It's their style. It makes them genuine and original. If they played without their masks, they might as well be "just another metal band" and wouldn't be half as popular as they are now. Personally, I think their masks kick a'ss.

If you ask me, they are kinda stupid. How old are they? And they write lyrics that speak to middle school kids. Well, I think it's kinda hilarious the whole "maggot" and mask thing, like it's a huge joke. I have herd that they're live show is pretty hilarious too. They are touring w/ The Dillinger Escape Plan (an absolutly ball melting band) later this year, so I guess I'll see the humorous quasi-nu metal action for myself. All you maggots who are planning on atending any of these DEP shows better be ready to see Slipknot put to absolute shame.

The lyrics on the new album are very good. See "The Virus Of Life" as a very good example.

The term "Maggot" was created by Joey Jordison at their first Ozzfest show. He described what it looked like to see all those fans coming to the stage. It reminded him of maggots.

DEP is an awesome band. My friend is a huge fan. I'll have to catch that show.

If you continue to act like you're acting on this thread, you WILL get banned. Trust me, I know from experience. This site takes NO crap. At all. I started a huge argument about pop-punk music under another name and got banned. Permanantly. And it started with a trite comment like the one that you just posted. If you don't get banned, I suggest that you read the rock/metal rules BEFORE you post again. If any hardcore Slipknot fans see your post, I can almost guarantee that you will be reported, then banned. So I suggest you take my advice and read the rules and take your opinions elsewhere.

Each member adds SOMETHING to the band. That something may be a large something or a small something. Having that many members doesn't hurt anything. So, why not?

[The JoZ]

First off: Craig got a keyboard, and he uses it on Volume 3. He's been listed as "Samples/Media" for the longest time, but now can add "Keyboardist" to his resume. I've seen him play it, and it's very noticable, see "Prelude", "Duality", "Circle", "Vermilion", (1 and 2), and they have piano on a later track too. That's all Craig.

Secondly, has anyone even paid attention to the lyrics of Volume 3? Seriously, the lyrics on Iowa and S/T are utter garbage. The stuff on Volume 3, while not exactly virtuosic, is pretty good. I urge you to check out the lyrics before calling them stupid.

Third, you all want to talk about how stupid the masks are...but I don't see why it's a big deal. It's part of who they are, it's their look. Let them have it, and shut up about it. The only people who should get criticism for masks and matching outfits are any bands who do it after Slipknot has. Leave it alone.

[apocalypse13]

I am not trying to be negative about anything, I said that they have 9 members. It's original. No other band that I can think of has over 6 members. It, like their masks, make them original. Ask someone what band has 9 members and wears masks, they WILL say Slipknot.

Circle is so full of synth it isn't funny.

It opens up with the acoustic guitar, then bass comes in, then you get synth strings that play in unison with the bass, and you've got other sounds...that may be sampled and/or Sid...

But there are definetly instances of keys being played. Go back and listen to it again, it's there :cool:

Yeh i love that telephone sound in the begining, I know thats a sample he loops back and forth. When you listen to it with headphones you notice the background noises. The keyboard use in vermillion is insane, Easily craigs best work in any of there cds. In Iowa i sort of felt bad for him LOL, I could only pick out some parts. But that cd is so drum dominated its not even funny, There isnt anything wrong with that though :thumb:

[The JoZ]

They all have more talent than they are given credit for.

Craig is probably the only one I can think of who, SEEMINGLY, has the least talent. But I can't say for sure, I mean, I don't know what it takes to do what he does, since I don't do it.

Chris and Shawn are good at what they do, but they seem to want to headbang more than anything. Oh well.

Mick and Jim's riffage is good, and they can solo in spite of not doing it, as shown on the new album, and in the now-infamous Line 6 video of Mick going nuts.

I used to think Paul was worthless till two things happened. One, I listened to MFKR, and realized there were alot of good basslines on there. Someone had told me before that it wasn't Paul, but it was indeed Paul playing those nifty bass licks. And then, I read an interview he did, and he said flat out that he chooses to lay back and provide a solid rhythm foundation, and that he likes more often than not to keep it simple. He said he had a few chances to show off on Volume 3 (most notably, some of his fills in Vermilion) but he felt that the band was not about one person showing off, but rather the band as a whole looking good.

Joey is overrated by idiot fans, and underrated by elitists. The man has a ton of speed, and his parts fit. He's not a god, but he's not a bad drummer either.

I guess I'll just take Remedy's word for it about Sid, I haven't really paid much attention to him. But he seems to know what he's doing, and some of his work on the S/T album was really cool (see: Surfacing)

Corey can sing really decently when he wants to, as shown more often on Volume 3. It usually turns out to be a love-hate relationship with him though, either you love his vocals or hate them. I fall in the middle personally. The man has a good voice, and decent scream, but I can easily think of people better than him...but also, think of people he's better than.

In general, Slipknot gets overrated by their 'maggot' followers, and underrated by guys like Dargon. They are good at what they do, and some members may have more talent than others...but overall, they aren't talentless...but not God-like.

There are plenty of drummers that are better than Joey, but you cant deny that Joey is a good drummer. He really gets the job done as far as I am concerned.

yes he is a very skilled drummer,far better than most,but this guy said he was the best,and you and i know very well hes not the best.

In a interview with shawn, They asked what they thought about having nine members. And he simply explained "its orchestrated madness"

Because you come into a forum for fans of metal and tell us our genre of music is 'for pussies'

Seriously, based on your avatar, I don't think you have any room to talk.

But on a less visceral note, if you aren't going to talk positively about metal, get out of the metal forum.

[suicidal dreams]

Joey's a rad drummer, not the best but still very well up there. On the 9 member issue... it's so original for a metal band so that = rad!

[Sleeper]

Yeh ive heard so many discussions about Joey compared to othes drummers/His talent. He is my favorite musician, But im not gonna say hes the best drummer, Because he isnt.

[plagued4life666]

They all have more talent than they are given credit for.

Craig is probably the only one I can think of who, SEEMINGLY, has the least talent. But I can't say for sure, I mean, I don't know what it takes to do what he does, since I don't do it.

Chris and Shawn are good at what they do, but they seem to want to headbang more than anything. Oh well.

Mick and Jim's riffage is good, and they can solo in spite of not doing it, as shown on the new album, and in the now-infamous Line 6 video of Mick going nuts.

I used to think Paul was worthless till two things happened. One, I listened to MFKR, and realized there were alot of good basslines on there. Someone had told me before that it wasn't Paul, but it was indeed Paul playing those nifty bass licks. And then, I read an interview he did, and he said flat out that he chooses to lay back and provide a solid rhythm foundation, and that he likes more often than not to keep it simple. He said he had a few chances to show off on Volume 3 (most notably, some of his fills in Vermilion) but he felt that the band was not about one person showing off, but rather the band as a whole looking good.

Joey is overrated by idiot fans, and underrated by elitists. The man has a ton of speed, and his parts fit. He's not a god, but he's not a bad drummer either.

I guess I'll just take Remedy's word for it about Sid, I haven't really paid much attention to him. But he seems to know what he's doing, and some of his work on the S/T album was really cool (see: Surfacing)

Corey can sing really decently when he wants to, as shown more often on Volume 3. It usually turns out to be a love-hate relationship with him though, either you love his vocals or hate them. I fall in the middle personally. The man has a good voice, and decent scream, but I can easily think of people better than him...but also, think of people he's better than.

In general, Slipknot gets overrated by their 'maggot' followers, and underrated by guys like Dargon. They are good at what they do, and some members may have more talent than others...but overall, they aren't talentless...but not God-like.

:claps: that was amazing

[opeth_oasis]

how awesome are those drumming solos on the dvd? Slipknot have very talented musicians, most of them session players.

[Sleeper]

I didnt think the drum solo on Disaterpieces was very good for some reason. I know he could pull way more stuff than that, But the seqeunce he put the beats in worked out very well.

[Magicaltroll]

I didnt like the drum solo on the dvd at all, he can do way better, anjd if i remember correctly, it was really short too. but the dvd was awesome...

[xacidrain27x]

Well you got to give him credit. Remeber he was moving up, down, forward, and backwards.

[Sleeper]

That dosent matter, That was his idea

[xacidrain27x]

Yeah i guess he probably should have either practiced more moving like that or had just stayed on the ground and played something better. In my opinion it was too repetitive. All he did was connect a bunch of tom/bass fills really fast then threw in a quick groove. No dynamics.

[The JoZ]

The drum solo that he seems to be well known for really isn't that good.

Seriously, I think people should look at his drumming in a song setting for good drumming, because he's good at that. Who cares if that particular solo sucked?

I think his drumming was awfull when he covered Metallicas drummer Lars Ulrich at Download, Never heard a drum solo of his, but i will let ya know if he approves lol....
P.S in all fairness he is awesome at double bass :)

Joey's drum solo on the recent DVD they released (Disasterpieces?) is really incredible. It'll definitely remove all doubts you have about the guy's abilities. Neil Peart is a drum god, though.

No offence against Joey, he is a good drummer, put personally in the drum solos i listened to it sounded like he was kicking the drum kit accross the stage..... I think he is a good drummer when he wants to be ... if he sorts out the odd time signatures and stops doing offbeat fills then he will do a lot more for the band..... Accually, thinking about it, the only slipknot songs i like are The heratic anthem and Duality, and the drumming in them is awesome....
P.S i am not saying Lars Ulrich is better by all means as a drummer, all i am saying is Lars Ulrich in my opinion does a better drum solo, accually sorry, the solo i have is Lars v's James Hetfield and James does a better solo than lars...!
I personally prefer Metallica's solos, and Niel Pearts, but i think as far as songs go Joey does a better job than lars.....
But saying that i didnt like it when he played that gig for tallica, i think the hi-hat sounded awfull because it had like 4 inches between the bottom and top of it, and i think the fills were quite bad also.... However in all due respect he was using a totally different setup to what he is used to, any gig is better than no gig!

[ihate_g.c.]

Slipknot is easily the gayest band ever in the history of the universe and you guys are all fags for listening to them. you should burn your c.d.s, posters, shirts or anything else that has to do with slipknot.

All his fills are quad licks. Almost every single one of them. They are almost always on time. I can see why you didn't like the ones at the Metallica gig though. Very very differen't, and in lots of cases didn't suit the song. Just Joey's style.

[Arrakakaka]

Precisely.

The fills in Opium of the People are his most original, and best. In the Spit It Out Hyper Tension remix there's a nice percusion thing going on that's pretty badass. I have no idea who's doing it though. Probably Joey. I don't think Chris or Shawn have access to that stuff.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Is the the cd worth getting? I've heard Duality and Vermilion and they're pretty good.
I've also heard that one person in the band is mentally disabled. Is that true?

[relliK]

I think its definently worth getting.Duality and Vermilion wont give you a full representation of it though.Actually, you can listen to 5 songs and you still wont get a full representation of the whole album.Every song on there has its own identity.Each song has something that the others dont.Its all over the place.But if you liked those tracks, Im sure you'd like the rest.Whoever told you someone in the band was retarded was obviously not too fond of the band.Its a lie.Although, Sid is suspected to be a schitzophranic.I read the interview and Im starting to believe it myself.Sid could have been joking about the stuff he was saying.I'll try to find it so I could post it here.


I cant notice any keyboard on circle, But for Duality and Vermillion, Its sounds great.

A grand piano comes in like at 3:20.Its on the right channel.Not to mention all the stuff The Joz pointed out.Before I Forget has piano too.

[The JoZ]

In Circle:

:54 - Violin starts playing with bass

1:17 - I don't know quite what that sound is, but it could very well be made by Craig

2:00 - Piano

2:27 - Flute-like sound

2:37 - Same sound at 1:17

3:18 - More piano + Flutish stuff every now and then

3:40 - Really weird sounds start. They are probably samples though, not keys.

So, yeah, Craig is doing a whole bunch of stuff.

Well to answer to answer your question on the cd, If you are familiar with older slipknot stuff like Iowa and S/T. Then Volume 3 is going to blow you away, It did when i first listened to it. To answer about the mentaly disabled member, There isnt anyone in Slipknot thats mentally disabled. Whoever you heard it from must of meant Sid Wilson-#0 The Dj. He said in a interview that his mask usualy gets so tight that he starts to halucinate.

I was totally pissed when I 1st listened to the whole album... I mean, it was "The Knot" doin' acoustic stuff, and I was expecting heavy, rip-someone's-head-off, metal. A lot of Knot fans who I've talked to were disappointed with it too, but we still listened to it more and more, and it just grew on us... now I think it is their best album to date and am glad they went the route that they did.
So yeah... it's worth getting!
