Rock and Metal's Slipknot Thread

[SK_Metalhead666]

Nah, most of the Death Metal drummers I hear are better than him.
Not that he sucks or something, just he's not as good as some of the DM drummers.

/my opinion

Well he dosent really do blast beats. Hes more of a speed drummer, you know what I mean? I have heard some incredible Death Metal drummers too.

[Huber]

Joey is a good drummer. Not a God by any means, however. He isn't as fast as you think. Lots of his ever so famous "furious fills" are basically the same thing every time.

[jamesclelland]

can anyone help me out with some MFKR wav files.

WAV prefered, but MP3 is ok, i can crossfade and upgrade for cd burning purposes.
Thank you to anyone who can. adamjones_god@yahoo.com

[Huber]

Yeah, you'll be banned soon.

[Thor]

Good to see that his post is gone.

[exup]

I saw them yesterday and it was pretty cool.
Not a very long show but could be wors.

[ramone_kid]

IMO i love Joey's solos and fills,

[Thor]

IMO i love Joey's solos and fills,
Well as long as you just like them and don't say "OMG j03Y r t3h #1 drUm/\/\3r 3v3r!!!!11", people won't flame you. Try and keep it that way.

[thelittledrummerboy]

Who wrote the songs on Vol 3?

[The JoZ]

Who wrote the songs on Vol 3?

All of them, most likely.

In the Iowa guitar book, every member but Craig is credited with writing every song...I would imagine it's the same this time, although, honestly, with the work Craig did on this album, I wouldn't be surprised if he WAS credited with it.

[COBHC342]

People = **** Is Hands Down The Best Slipknot Song Ever!!

[warlock606]

man to me i dont have 20 favoite songs. i think the best album tho was the first one eo me, u the self tittle one. but who is ya's favoite band member of slipknot. mine is joey the drummer and i love his mask well peoples later

[warlock606]

yeah but also joey is a good drummer but not the best.

[warlock606]

yeah true but also u have the band members playing snare, and makes him look faster but i have no problem with them i like slipknot :chug: ill drink to that

[Sleeper]

People = **** Is Hands Down The Best Slipknot Song Ever!!
Purity is better IMO

[King_Karl]

I think Corey is my fave member. I love his voice and the way he throws down on stage i think is really cool :smoke:

[warlock606]

yeah i like cory he has a very good voice.

[TheSubtleArts]

Joey is my favorite guy in Slipknot simply because he is really the only player who is above average at his instrument in the band. although Mick and Jim are finally starting to show that they can shred too. and i think Pauls old bass lines are great, but Joey is the best talent in the band IMO.

[metabolic]

wsup people new on this forum :))

Yea Joey is surely not the best drummer but i dont think theres anything wrong by seeing him as your fav drummer.He have somewhat of a unique style and nice speed imo, but yea he's not the best :(

Neway thats why slipknot is slipknot coz of their unique way of things

[thepopeliveson]

slipknot are the best live band ever.saw them last year supportin metallica in dublin.amazin.saw them on friday nite too in dublin being supported by shadows fall and helmet.twas unbelievable

[Thor]

slipknot are the best live band ever.saw them last year supportin metallica in dublin.amazin.saw them on friday nite too in dublin being supported by shadows fall and helmet.twas unbelievable
If you go around these forums talking like that not many people are goin to like. Just a little piece of advice for you. :thumb:

[King_Karl]

They can be an awesome live band at their peak, but I mean best live band ever? That's quite a claim.

[i am the robots]

I find that SlipknoT is terrible live.... fact is they base their music too much on studio.

[King_Karl]

Some videos i've seen aren't great, but Disasterpiece is awesome. I'd reccomend any doubters to check it out.

[Brew]

I saw them yesterday for the 3rd time, and it was the best time that I've seen them.

Amazing show.

[comptonassrobert]

I find that SlipknoT is terrible live.... fact is they base their music too much on studio.

In Flames isnt all that special live either. I love Slipknot, i always have. if you started liking slipknot in their earlier MFKR-S/t days, the masks just sort of grow on you, not that they make up the band, but it sets them apart, you focus on the music rather than if 13year old girls think theyre "lYke OmGZzz So0o0 tEh hoTzZ". word of advice to slipknot would be: Keep the masks, so the melodic ***** shi.t and cry about that on your own time. Sid Wilson or Mick would probably be my favourite members.

[i am the robots]

In Flames is amazing live dude..... you make me laughter, I have seen both live, and IF is better.

[Lord Abortion]

I have to disagree- slipknot owned everyone bar sabbath at download

sorry I ain't posted in here before but i just had to point this out

[comptonassrobert]

In Flames is amazing live dude..... you make me laughter, I have seen both live, and IF is better.

Well im sorry i make you "laughter". I absolutely LOVE In Flames, i havent seen them live but i have 3 or 4 full concerts on the comp, and its just not quality stuff. The vocals are not very good and the guitars can barely be heard over the drums. not to get off topic...

[Sleeper]

Slipknot have been ranked in the top 20 best live bands ever.

[exup]

I think it's funny how mick is looking out of his eyes all the time.. really cool :P

[Thor]

Why is that so funny to you?

[The JoZ]

Slipknot have alot of energy live, I thought they put on a great show when I saw them on the Subliminal Verses tour.

[TheSubtleArts]

Ive seen them 3 times live, they put on a better show each time. This year at the sublimital versus tour was by far thier best show.

[Huber]

I might see them at Ozzfest this year. Can't wait :)

[Thor]

I might see them at Ozzfest this year. Can't wait :)
You're the lucky one who gets to see them in San Bernardino, aye?

[adonis7]

slipknot has a video that i just saw yesterday.. it shows like half their faces...

[Mr Herb]

before you forget vid

[Thor]

slipknot has a video that i just saw yesterday.. it shows like half their faces...
Congratulations, do you even know what the song is called?

[Sleeper]

before you forget vid
Its Before i forget

[Lord Abortion]

does anyone know whether they ever play I am hated or the shape live?

[Thor]

does anyone know whether they ever play I am hated or the shape live?
As far as I know, I don't think they do. I find that to be dissapointing since The Shape is one of my favorite songs off of Iowa, right next to People=****

[Lord Abortion]

same here...
they played everything ends at donload though

I love that best off Iowa I think

[warlock606]

ur right slipknot would never look right or seem close with out there masks.

[Huber]

You're the lucky one who gets to see them in San Bernardino, aye?

Yep. It's gunna be cool.

I'd like Slipknot better without there masks, as long as they keep playing Vol. 3 type music. I think it's much more fitting without the masks.

[thepopeliveson]

the video for before i forget is pretty good.they played a song unmasked at their gig in dublin last friday.it was so weird to see the expressions on their faces.unfortunately clown wasnt there

[Sleeper]

I never see them play Skin Ticket live.

[thelittledrummerboy]

Does anyone know where you can see pictures of them unmasked?

[guitar321]

Slipknot owns

[slit_21]

Does anyone know where you can see pictures of them unmasked?



go to www.slipknot-metal.com and go to unmasked

[SRVgod14]

Slipknot is gay and ur all posers and yes im a noob so blow me

[m_Unk_Y]

Does anyone know where you can see pictures of them unmasked?
yeah i have...they actually started performing a without them

[Dude3]

yeah i have...they actually started performing a without them
No way dude. You serious?
I actually really wish they would lose the masks.

[m_Unk_Y]

No way dude. You serious?
I actually really wish they would lose the masks.
some of them were wearing their death masks...they were transitioning

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y276/iowanine/italy02.jpg
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y276/iowanine/italy01.jpg

there are more photos floating around...

how come we cant post pics in these thread??? :confused:

[Dude3]

I hope they take them off. Or at least only keep them on for concerts(even though I rather them take the masks off). Its so stupid that even during interviews and crap, they keep the masks on.

[m_Unk_Y]

I hope they take them off. Or at least only keep them on for concerts(even though I rather them take the masks off). Its so stupid that even during interviews and crap, they keep the masks on.
yeah...actually they started doing interviews without them...paul, joey and corey have...i seen a pic of paul today

[Dude3]

yeah...actually they started doing interviews without them...paul, joey and corey have...i seen a pic of paul today
Awesome

[m_Unk_Y]

Awesome
so youre big on slipknot?

[Dude3]

so youre big on slipknot?
Ehh, not too much. I like them and all, but I don't think they are great. I saw them on the Sublinal Verses tour though.

I'm going to bed. :wave: Goodnight MX!

[m_Unk_Y]

Ehh, not too much. I like them and all, but I don't think they are great. I saw them on the Sublinal Verses tour though.

People = **** Is Hands Down The Best Slipknot Song Ever!!


True dat

[m_Unk_Y]

True dat

that is a good song...but what about Eeyore...

that displays so much technical skill from most of the members...especially joey :thumb:

[vocman]

meh, I think the masks are a kind of gimmick you got used to.I'd prefer them to keep them (especially when performing).besides, some of the masks look tough :).
best slipknot song IMO is 'Everything Ends'

[King_Karl]

Slipknot is gay and ur all posers and yes im a noob so blow me
Well done.
:rolleyes:

[the_Leperakorn]

I personally feel Eeyore, Nameless and Duality are the best three. Yes its good but anyone who says Wait and Bleed deserves to be shot in the back of the neck and rolled into a ditch.

[slit_21]

Wait and bleed, lol I like almost oll of there music off of volume 3, most of it of the Slipknot s/t and a couple songs off of Iowa.

[dimenwylde22]

Slipknot is gay and ur all posers and yes im a noob so blow me



you suck

[pondlife]

Subliminal verses is good, esp for getting in to slipknot, but it lacks everything that S/T and iowa has

[dimenwylde22]

my most favorite song on subliminal verses is befor i forget

[jc_dunn]

my most favorite song on subliminal verses is befor i forget

Same here.

to the guy that said slipknot was gay and to blow him or whatever: YOU ARE IGNORANT

as for the masks... i think they're cool. If i was a rock star i wouldn't mind wearing a mask because i would still wanna be able to walk through the shopping mall and such.

[Kage]

Subliminal verses is good, esp for getting in to slipknot, but it lacks everything that S/T and iowa has
Which is?

[Moses]

Which is?
He's probably referring to the aggression.

[Dude3]

For some reason, I didn't really enjoy Vol.3. I thought the first 2 were WAY better. It has nothing to do with the direction of their music. Just, for some reason, I liked them a lot more.

[Moses]

I need to find MFKR. Definately the most artistic one.

[m_Unk_Y]

I need to find MFKR. Definately the most artistic one.
yeah it is...but just dont be shocked kind of when you listen...its really different...

especially on vocals :p ...you probably know why

[pondlife]

MFKR is very different, its got metal tracks on it, jazz/disco sounding tracks and funk.
try www.slipknot-metal.com/audio for a taster of it if u want/

[m_Unk_Y]

thanks, but i have the album tho...

come to think of it...i have alot more recordings from them before MFKR :p

[DesiOzymandias]

I hope they take them off. Or at least only keep them on for concerts(even though I rather them take the masks off). Its so stupid that even during interviews and crap, they keep the masks on.
wellll its kinda like an interesting thing, ya know what i mean? like noone knows what they look like (or is supposed to) so you could say that they have that sense of mystery, and the masks make them seem alot more badass on stage.

[PepsiMetal]

Anyone have a live performed video of vermillion pt2? I can't find that song anywhere (live.) although I also couldn't find the first part.

[m_Unk_Y]

wellll its kinda like an interesting thing, ya know what i mean? like noone knows what they look like (or is supposed to) so you could say that they have that sense of mystery, and the masks make them seem alot more badass on stage.

kind of have to disagree with you there...if you wanna see them unmasked here ya go...

Slipknot Unmasked (http://www.pulseofthemaggots.com/galleries.php?page=unmasked)

alot of people have sene them unmasked...especially due to their sideprojects

[BassMasterMike88]

Thats not much of a shocker, Cory is always unmasked when he's with Stone Sour, which i gotta admit is a pretty good side project, songs like Blotter and Get Inside kinda sound like Knot, but songs like Bother are pretty different.

[bigdudedrummr07]

i like slipknot and i think joey jordison is an amazing drummer, but then, why does the band have a separate person for "percussion"...isnt that like slapping joey in the face? because it seems that they don't find joeys rythms enough and so have a second person...any ideas on why the have the extra guy?

[m_Unk_Y]

Thats not much of a shocker, Cory is always unmasked when he's with Stone Sour, which i gotta admit is a pretty good side project, songs like Blotter and Get Inside kinda sound like Knot, but songs like Bother are pretty different.

yeah...stone sour is a really good band...

you can't forget about james in his band tho ;)

[m_Unk_Y]

hahaha....they have two percussionists...clown (shawn) and chris...

im not sure why, but with them, it does give a better effect to it...kind of helps forms joeys back bone (which is a kickass drummer)...

but ever since slipknot was formed, they always said they were gonna have the 3 drummers...way before MFKR was recorded they used two percussions...clown and anders (old vocalists)

[Dude3]

Yeah, Corey is seen unmasked a lot. Joey is too.

Hey, I didn't know Mick was helping do the Death tribute with James Murphy! Awesome.

[bigdudedrummr07]

ah k, well, i stil think joey wud b able to do it himself but i do agree that the eventual effect they have is quite brilliant

[heavy metal kid]

joeys back bone (which is a kickass drummer)...

i probably get superflamed by this comment but imo, Joey isn't that great, he sounds awesome because he's in a nu-metal band and all the other musicians make him sound great.
I found Joey like an average death metal drummer.

[Dude3]

Agreed. He's awesome, but there are just so many better drummers out there.

[m_Unk_Y]

i probably get superflamed by this comment but imo, Joey isn't that great, he sounds awesome because he's in a nu-metal band and all the other musicians make him sound great.
I found Joey like an average death metal drummer.
to each their own...i can see what you mean...

there are better drummers than joey, jon bonman, rick allen (i admire the hell out of him for playing with one arm)...

anyways, i just feel joey carries himself superb...i have seen them 13 times...and his solos always amaze me.. :)

i have great respect for him tho even more i gotten ahold of some of his recordings from 92 when the original lineup was formed

but then again...its just how i view it...and everyone has their own views :thumb:

[pondlife]

Do u meen from their crowz recording? i d love to know were i could get to hear some of their unrealesed material, and i dont meen unreleased as in sonds like carve of things the put on as bonus tracks.

[The JoZ]

Anyone have a live performed video of vermillion pt2? I can't find that song anywhere (live.) although I also couldn't find the first part.

http://www.slipknot-metal.com has, or had, the first part performed at some awards show in Holland (or Denmark?)

They don't do part 2 live, they just use the recording from the CD.

[Sleeper]

I have that vid, Its cool to see there death masks.

[pondlife]

Mmm just a thought but it would be pretty cool if slipknot repraced their 'mask' masks with their 'death' masks, as they look cooler in most cases (esp in the vermillion preformance at TMF awards)+ there wouldnt be all that crap about wereing masks because the masks are of their faces. bit like KISS except with paint...

[Shady Ultima]

To the guy who made the comment about Joey. He's overrated because he's mainstream, but he is very good. I was watching one of the Slipknot DVD's (not sure how many they have tho... ) and he is easily one of the best metal drummers since the 80's.


On a different note - My ex-gf was reading a magazine, and Slipknot are talking about breaking up again, because Corey is once again losing his voice. It will be a sad day if they break up again.

[PepsiMetal]

http://www.slipknot-metal.com has, or had, the first part performed at some awards show in Holland (or Denmark?)

Thanks for the link, will definetely check it out and download.

Cheers. :chug:

[m_Unk_Y]

Do u meen from their crowz recording? i d love to know were i could get to hear some of their unrealesed material, and i dont meen unreleased as in sonds like carve of things the put on as bonus tracks.

naw...its not from the crowz recordings...those are from 97, after MFKR...
1. Slipknot / Gently
2. Me Inside
3. Unreleased/No Name
4. Windows (Unreleased)
5. Spit it Out
6. Carve (Unreleased)
7. Only One
8. Scissors

but out of those...only four were leaked from those recordings: slipknot/gently, me inside, only one, and prothestics (was renamed)

there are live versions of windows and carve...they are from rare videos of '96

but the recordings i was talking about was from 1992...they are called "The Basement Recordings"...it consist of two tapes...9 songs in total...which alot of them are just practices it seems like...

tape one contains:
Slipknot (early version)
Idiot (extended version)
Gently (the genesis track)
Wise Up Construction
Wise Up Construction 2

tape two has:
Gently
Idiot
Slipknot
What's Wrong

there are a couple of videos of a performance on 12-12-1996 at the safari club

and if you want something...just IM me...screennames are on my pro

[m_Unk_Y]

does anybody have the dual disc edition of Vol. 3???

[Immortalsoul]

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".

Can someone please explain to me how Slipknot sold out on Vol 3??

[The JoZ]

On a different note - My ex-gf was reading a magazine, and Slipknot are talking about breaking up again, because Corey is once again losing his voice. It will be a sad day if they break up again.

I have repeatedly heard them, especially Chris, talk about at least one more CD, so I don't see them breaking up just yet.

Can someone please explain to me how Slipknot sold out on Vol 3??

They expanded their sound :rolleyes:

[Immortalsoul]

Sadly, you are probably right. All of the little kids will think they aren't "hardcore" anymore and stop listening to them.


Hell, Some people think they sold out with Vol3. if they took off the masks, it would be over.

[BlindWriting]

Yeah, Corey is seen unmasked a lot. Joey is too.

Hey, I didn't know Mick was helping do the Death tribute with James Murphy! Awesome.
Joey was unmasked in an interview talking about his substitution for the drummer in the band Satyricon. He's quite an interesting guy, and had some neat things to say about black metal in general.

[Immortalsoul]

Slipknot is well on their way to being one of the greats of heavy metal! Their musical direction is logical one. Hey they brought Extreme metal to the mainstream. now its time to show off their abilities. I think they have a lot of great things in store for us. If not, there is allways stone sour.

[Sleeper]

Joey was unmasked in an interview talking about his substitution for the drummer in the band Satyricon. He's quite an interesting guy, and had some neat things to say about black metal in general.
I just saw Paul Grey unmasked when he was interviewed by the girl from Uranium at the Dimebag Memorial.

[The JoZ]

I still want to see a good picture of Craig unmasked, since I've seen all the rest.

/won't happen.

[Huber]

He's definetly the member I'd like to learn about most.

[Sleeper]

All i can tell is that craig is bald, And a little chubby.

[Huber]

I'm starting to get the hang of Purity if you guys wanna try and record a song for that contest.

[Dude3]

How much would you guys pay for a Slipknot tablature book, that has the best songs from the s/t and Iowa, and has ALL the instruments transcribed?

[whatduffhuck7]

i got one, its for s/t. its not bad, you can go to mx and get just as good tabs on them though. this book explains how to play the songs though

[Yoursweet666]

i think slipknot is pretty cool, but *almost* anything before corey joined sucked. not that anders couldnt sing or anything, but i mean cmon the song "slipknot" was about a video game. nobody sept people who play the game would know what "pentex sucks pentex sucks they drain the lifeforce of my tribe" means

[Huber]

The game thing is just a theory, others say it has to do with something else.

MFKR was amazing.

[Yoursweet666]

The game was just a theory others say it was about something else

oh i didnt know that. but i agree most of MFKR was good specially "gently"

[whiskeyinthejar]

Can anyone tell me the name of a slipknot song that goes.
[I]come one come all and see the broken man talking to himself.

Thanks in advance

[Huber]

Not a Slipknot song man, but you were close.

That's Inhale by Stone Sour.

[whiskeyinthejar]

Thanks so much I could figure it out

[m_Unk_Y]

I still want to see a good picture of Craig unmasked, since I've seen all the rest.

/won't happen.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y276/iowanine/italy02.jpg

i think that is craig...due to the hair style...doesnt look like anybody elses

[Yoursweet666]

i dont think thats craig, ive never seen him but a friend of mine has and he says he looks like a midlle aged bald pedophile

[Mr Herb]

I like vol 3 more than the others. Knot aint as bad as some ppl say it is. . .they have talent at least

[m_Unk_Y]

i dont think thats craig, ive never seen him but a friend of mine has and he says he looks like a midlle aged bald pedophile

oh...then who is it :confused:

i dont think its sid...is it

[Huber]

Isn't it possible that it's just some random guy on any random stage anywhere in the world?

[m_Unk_Y]

Isn't it possible that it's just some random guy on any random stage anywhere in the world?

could be...but it might be a member

[Huber]

Next time I see any random guy on a stage, I'm taking a picture of him and saying he's a member of Slipknot, because apparently that works.

[crossface]

hi slipknot fans

my favorite album is iowa

first post here, we just covered left behind earlier so i feel like posting in this thread

[National chaos sam]

OMFG, i love slipknot.
Combining their style with progressive styling rules.
the vermilion video is the strangest metal video ive ever seen, as well as black hole sun lol.
Im glad they let mick solo on Vol.3. i like this current album better than iowa, slipknot still rocks.

SURFACING- Our new national ****ing anthem!!!!!!!!!

[Spiritofmosa]

slipknot is coming to singapore!!!!

[itsPLaNK]

You idiots, do nothing/bitchslap is above all there other songs by a loooooooong way. if only they had stayed that way...sighs...
(though some of their newer stuff is amazing..wait and bleed..spit it out..duality)
Do nothing bitchslap is amazing.
Mate feed kill repeat is real freaky my best song would be tattered and torn off mate feed kill repeat (their first album)

but nowadays i'm not liking joey on drums. Everyone says he's amazing and i agree he has good talent but he cannot keep a rhythm at all.
It's my personal preferance but i think they should give shawn a drum set to keep a rhythm whilst joey does his "lead drumming" or whatever it is. And chris keeps up the weird percussion n backing vocals.

The guitar sucks though n there is no denying that.
My best member is Sid or Craig because slipknot without the sampling or Dj would be average loons wearin masks.

But i prefer grindcore so what am i on about??? :cool: :thumb:

[pondlife]

The guitar sucks? i know that the riffs arent that inventive up to vol:3, but in a band with 9 other members you cant really expect guitar to rule over everything else. it should though.

[The JoZ]

i dont think thats craig, ive never seen him but a friend of mine has and he says he looks like a midlle aged bald pedophile

Well, he is indeed bald, you can see a small bit of his head in the Before I Forget video.

But that doesn't do me justice. I want to see his face, without any masks, glasses, hairdos, any **** on it. I've seen the death mask shots, but honestly, that doesn't help much either. FULL FACE DAMMIT.

[m_Unk_Y]

The guitar sucks? i know that the riffs arent that inventive up to vol:3, but in a band with 9 other members you cant really expect guitar to rule over everything else. it should though.

hey hey hey...guitar shouldnt rule over everything else...monkies should... :p

but with Vol. 3...they do showcase a little more of everybodies skills...not as great as they did on MFKR...but for the size of the band...they do good

[BlindWriting]

but with Vol. 3...they do showcase a little more of everybodies skills...not as great as they did on MFKR...but for the size of the band...they do good
That's also due to the great production/mixing. Every instrument really shines through.

[Yoursweet666]

oh...then who is it

i dont think its sid...is it
it could just be a random person, but for some reason i wanna say that it is sid

[m_Unk_Y]

That's also due to the great production/mixing. Every instrument really shines through.

but paul really doesnt tho...he is just rooting :upset:

yet if you listen to do nothing/bitchslap and confessions...they you can say...."wow...that bassist is really good"

Well, he is indeed bald, you can see a small bit of his head in the Before I Forget video.

But that doesn't do me justice. I want to see his face, without any masks, glasses, hairdos, any **** on it. I've seen the death mask shots, but honestly, that doesn't help much either. FULL FACE DAMMIT.
You need to reload your avatar, it's not looking too good right now.

but paul really doesnt tho...he is just rooting :upset:

yet if you listen to do nothing/bitchslap and confessions...they you can say...."wow...that bassist is really good"
I sometimes do wish that slipknot has songs where you could notice the bass, But his playing is solid which keeps the band solid.

Mmmm...Who here wants to see them unmasked?

I would. A few years ago, I wanted them to drop the whole masks gimmick and become a 'normal' band, so that the 13 year old kids would stop listening to them. These days, I reckon that they should wear the masks ONLY if they wanted to. They could even wear them on a casual basis.

The problem is, they can't ditch the masks. If they did, they would lose half of their fans, which is really sad.

I prefer them with the masks, But if they dropped the masks i wouldnt really care that much.

they should keep the masks,its them, sets them apart even if its used to sell or w/e

[Huber]

I don't know what would happen to their career, but I do know I'd enjoy it a lot more without the masks...at least if their playing the newer material.

What i like most about Disasterpieces, Is the camera angles.

What I like the most about Disasterpieces is that you have the option on some songs of what camera you want to watch so I can just watch Joey the whole time. :thumb:

You've got a point there.

[Sleeper]

I like to watch Sid the wole time, I swear hes on speed.

[Thor]

Just wondering, is anyone in here a member of Slipknot's fan club Outside the 9? If so, is it worth the money? Post your thoughts.

[Reaper06]

I like Slipknot. But what I don't like is when stupid people call them "Da Knot" or "The Knot."

What would be best for them though would be to drop the Nu-Metal influences and change over to a metalcore band, like Chimaira did.

how many nu-metal bands do you know that tune to drop b and have double bass drums. they are way too skilled to be lumped in with boy bands like linkin park
DEATH TO NU-METAL

[relliK]

Switching to metalcore would be selling out.

[Mr. Hankie]

I don't really consider Slipknot nu metal anyways, I don't even put them into a category.

[BlindWriting]

I just saw Disasterpieces... it's incredible... :)
It really is a great performance. You've got to hand it to them for putting on amazing shows. I missed the chance to see them, and I definitely regret not going. (I didn't really have a choice on the matter, though.)

[Thor]

Mudvayne does, for starters. :thumb:

[Huber]

Yeah, double bass is in a good amount of nu-metal bands. That statement was just false.

The use of Linkin Park to define Nu-Metal these days is really irritating me. They are only Nu-Metal because they have a huge Hip-hop influence, and the nu-metal style riffs. The things like Primal Aggresion are missing.

[Moses]

Switching to metalcore would be selling out.
You are stupid. What if they just felt like making different kind of music?

Would it be selling out for Britney Spears to start making Black Metal?

Tune your bass to B F# B E and compensate. Mix the tabs. Besides, I saw their bass player with a 4-string bass playing drop B and drop A songs in Disasterpieces...

Not what I meant.Metalcore is the hot thing right now, and for Slipknot to make the switch to it just to stay afloat would be selling out.Unless of coarse they were influenced by the whole metalcore scene artistically, and felt compelled to take their music towards that direction.

Britney Spears making Black Metal obviously wouldnt help her earn any cash, so no it would not be selling out.Artistically, she has fat bald old white men that write her music for her, so its not like she's an artist to begin with.

Joey is such a midget. He's like 5 feet tall. I saw a picture of him standing to the 6'7 James Root and I was amazed at how short he is.

[badtaste]

About Disasterpieces, I always comment on how Corey sounds pretty terrible. It's like the mask is preventing from singing clearly. Or is he just trying to sounds 'aggressive'?

He sounds messy, really messy in the dvd.


BTW< letmypeopleho< you are being sarcastic about Joey being ugly right? If you aren't then: aren't you acting like a pop fan then? Would you prefer a boyband or something? The point of music (metal and the such) is about the music rather than the image behind the music.

The Nameless is a cool song.I like it...

[jake_6(sic)6]

every 1 saying that mick tomson is a bad guitarist can feck off. ok, the songs arnt hard to play, but they are clever and they sound good. just coz they arnt HARD dsont make the guitarist bad. take head and munky from korn as a perfect example...

[Sleeper]

I found Mick to always be a decent guitarist, His guitar work in Vermillion was great.

[Bass-AKIRA]

Maybe I should actualy listen to more songs but I', very picky about what Slipknot I listen to.

1.Vermillion
2.Before I forget
3.Duality
4.Wait and Bleed
5.Pulse of the Maggots

Again maybe I should listen to more but I would still keep vermillion/before I forget at the top of the list.Defenetely some of their best.

[Thor]

Tune your bass to B F# B E and compensate. Mix the tabs. Besides, I saw their bass player with a 4-string bass playing drop B and drop A songs in Disasterpieces...
I think that is because he took off the G string and put on a B instead.

Yes, listening to more is a recomendation.

[paper2302]

Paul tunes his bass to drop B, he doesn't replace any strings. He uses a five string on the new album, but not much. In interviews and stuff, he says he likes the feel of a four string a lot better.

[scaredofclowns]

Slipknot is an awesome band. However, I think they should just play music. When they start doing all this crap with interviews and promoting their CD's, they forget why their doing it. They can play music and Spit it Out is a testament to that.

Remember when KISS had that idea? Didn't turn out to well, I know Slipknot and KISS are uncompatable but I'm speaking hypotheticly, and I think the masks serve as an icon, its proof that Slipknot has survived and risen while so many nu-metal bands have remainded the same, mushroomhead, Candiria(haven't heard new material for a long time) etc.

IMO Mick is a great guitarist. James is pretty good with his technical stuff to i think.

Both Mick and Jim are extremely underrated since everyone takes their skill from the slipknot riffs. But if you listened to them just jam, oh dude. They both can pull off some crazy stuff. Mick's warm-up involves fast arpeggios up and down the neck

[thelittledrummerboy]

how do you know? ( Not being rude or nothing )

[Huber]

There's a few videos of Mick I've seen on the internet of him just improvising (or so it seems). If you want some good stuff from Jim, listen to Stone Sour. He has some cool solos on Stone Sour songs.

[guns_n_roses=Slash+Axl]

1. Purity (unreleased, but awesome)
2. My Plague
3. People = S***
4. Spit It Out
5. Eyeless
6. The Blister Exists
7. Wait and Bleed
8. The Heretic Anthem
9. Liberate
10. New Abortion
11. (Sic)
12. No Life
13. Surfacing
14. vermillion
15. Opium of the People
16. Pulse of the Maggots
17. Disasterpiece
18. No Life
19. Before I forget

What I think is that slipknot critics don't understand that control and good dual guitar work is more important than soloing, Mick has the speed and James has the control, making for a kick *** duo. :thumb:

Well it's unreleased on the new versions of the self titled album, but it was originally on the album when it first came out. Now you can't get it without getting illegally or listening to it on the DVD.

[the nameless]

Some people say that Mich's (and James') guitar playing is simple? :confused:

I may be the only person who thinks this, but i think simple stuff is usually the best anyway. i mean duality is relatively simple but i think it is a kick *** song. The choruses off some of the vol. 3 songs could be described as simple but i think it takes talent to make up such riffs that SOUND excellent and are simple.

I like the whole of their new album and think that they have really shown themselves to be musicians. :)

I wouldn't go so far as to say he is great, but he does lay down some cool riffs and occasionally plays a pretty entertaining solo.

Kerry King, Zakk Wylde, and James Murphy have all said Mick was a "great" guitar player.There's probably more metal musicians who have given him praise, but thats all I know of.

[TheSubtleArts]

Mick originally had guitar solos written in early songs like (SiC) but they were later taken out. he is a better guitar player than most people think.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it was Jim who wasn't there during the recording. It's been a long time since I've read up on that stuff though. There could be a book of their line-up changes and it'd pwn Webster's Dictionary in size.

Theres a big difference between overated glam metal and the only good nu-metal band still standing.

[hethamulburton]

I'd say Godsmack is more mainstream and popular than Slipknot.
I mean in terms of sales for albums and airplay on the radio, cause Duality is the only song I've ever heard, and Godsmack I think is still going strong, so Slipknot isn't the only nu-metal band still standing.

[Tennek]

slipknot are also popular !!!
they are even famous in japan !!!
and ther were on the grammy awards ore something like that :p

[Huber]

There is plenty of Nu-metal bands still hanging in there. The best ones are still making music. Slipknot, Mudvayne, Mushroomhead, Godsmack, Korn...etc

[hethamulburton]

slipknot are also popular !!!

I think if you are born your popular in Japan.

But yea Godsmack is nu-metal, but with their last albums Faceless and Otherside, I think they are drifting into Mainstream Rock, but their roots are no doubt nu-metal.

Don't ypu people get scared by these maniacs, when you go to the concerts they make you pary to them and beat the crap out of each other,

AS for the band itself, 9 members is far, far, too much, they have about 4 guitarists, that's too many, Yestaday, I watched the Video to Duality; and there were only 5 members of the band playing, i dont know were the rest where and the clown was hittin stuff, with a bat, If they are gonna be on of the greatest bands ever, (WHich I'll amit they probably will) THey need to fire some people, thre are talented musicians in SLipknot that are goin to waste, and could vbe using their ability to the fullest in other bands

as for the beating the **** out of each other...they don't...sid, the DJ used to get infights with with shawn, clown...but those days really are over...

and as for the duality vid...chris and shawn really dont that many beats to the song...

then there is sid and craig...you cant really be expecting to see any theatrical playing from the samples tech and dj as seeing the type of equipment that they use

they are more bass oriented...

to me, they help pull alot of their songs together...they form a second back bone to joeys playing

[Tennek]

in there earlie days they were all drummers ( shawn,joey and chris )
so i read

[TheSubtleArts]

some songs like 'Vermillion' showcase more of the custom percussion drumming. there is not a lot of songs were they have extensive parts though, but they also do backing vocals.

I've listened to a lot of bands and I have to say thats is fairly original, having a drummer and then two back up drummer people, hmmmmmm. When you say Bass oriented do you mean they play bass and hit snares and things. Or they have just a bass drum, a snare and a few chimes, while this Joey guy has all the Toms, and bass drums and the stuff
