Rock and Metal's Slipknot Thread

[Down'd Angel]

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

hmmm...no...not per say...they just play a more low end version of the drums...

joey plays all parts...hell...joeys kit is monsterous (sp?) double bass beast...which i love...

but songs like (sic)....really show their talent together, the trio of them :)...

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

as for that...joey has always been the drummer...shawn was customs percussions and backing vocals....

chris on the other hand didnt join til later...im not exactly sure...between MFKR and their self titled...

before him and corey on vocals...anders colsefni used to do custom percussions also...the song "windows" really is a good showcase for it...

[Down'd Angel]

sorry for double post...

but here are some pics of what their percussions are...

these are what they primarly use...

and on this third album...they have started using these...really the only song ive seen it on is "three nil"...

[Slipknot_fan69]

Would I be right in saying that in the song 'Before I forget' Shaun and/or Chris are the ones doing the "I!!!" part of the song?

[Tillius]

Okay. I made a thread when I first started about Slipknot because I did not see this. People got pissed.....I really don't know why...but oh well. This is my question. And I'm not bashing Slipknot....trust me....I love Slipknot. So......first thing is this. I am a christian. To people.....do you think it automatically paints me out to be a Satanist by listening to Slipknot? I know I'm not and the music has no effect on my religion....but do people automatically assume just because of the music l listen to? Will you please help we with this? Thank you.

Anyone who thinks you're a Satanist because you listen to Slipknot doesn't really know Slipknot. Sure, they've had some of the imagery, and even have "The Heretic Anthem"...but Slipknot have said more than once, they aren't Satanists...and if you even watch the beginning of Disasterpieces, you can see Joey, knelt on one knee, praying, before they go out and play.

[Tillius]

Shawn, Chris and Paul.

I know Im not supposed bash slipknot but they are really gimicy not bad music if you like that stuff but they have so many gimics like those masks and stuff

[Down'd Angel]

I know Im not supposed bash slipknot but they are really gimicy not bad music if you like that stuff but they have so many gimics like those masks and stuff

the masks were supposed to be for the anti-image...but as it came to to be their image...

Thank you for your thought, Captain Incoherency.

I remember seeing posts that The Joz made asking for face shots of Craig.I think this video shows the best shot of his yet.Check it out.Craig is the guy at 1:10.

I was hoping I'd get more about the Slipknot/satanic thing.

[Huber]

The only reason you think that is because if anyone gives Corey Taylor a say in an interview he spouts his mouth off uncontrollably.

I should sticky a thread that just says this (I've said at least 20 times):

The reason they wear masks is because one day Shawn brought a clown mask to practice for ****s, probably to try and be funny. Shawn realized it was much easier to play behind a mask because instead of looking at Shawn and him playing, you look at a clown, and when you realize that you're a little less nervous. The other members caught on and soon they were doing shows in all sorts of costumes. They all soon picked their own masks and that's how it's been ever since.

Corey and the others stuck to the story of "emotions" and BS because it sounded a lot better than "Uh...we play better at shows with them because...**** I don't know".

[Mr. Black]

I think the masks are ****ing awesome.


They are incredibly original,. and do add character to the band

[Mr. Black]

Didn;t they split up for a bit, and Corey went with the Murderdolls to record their new album?

[Tennek]

corey didn't went to murderdolls.
but other members of slipknot did (witch one i don't know )
corey went to his old band named stonesour. (also an great band)

[TommyTheCat_]

I wasn't really into Slipknot at all untill this year when i seen them at the Big Day Out (Aussie Festival) in January. The show i seen was amazing and have loved their stuff since. Self Titled Slipknot is the best in my opinion, Iowa is awsome and i reckon the stuff on Vol 3 sounds a lot less, raw...

[Mother_Of_Abominations]

corey didn't went to murderdolls.

you are right...

corey and james went back with stonesour...

joey formed murderdolls wiht the guitarist from static-x and the a member from dope i believe...

and shawn (clown) formed "To my Suprise"...

hey do any of you know why slipknot's official webpage's message board regastation was shut down?

It's a gimic buddy I dont have to wright an essay to figure it out, and you just say it isnt a gimic cause your a big fan, but its a gimic, and a real band doesn't need to atract people with masks but instead with there music.

Learn to argue.

Don't just say "Oh, I know it's a gimmick, it's obvious". Give a reason why it is. I gave the true story behind it. Prove it wrong or just admit you were quick to judge and be mature.

[relliK]

Most bands have gimmicks.Masks, or no masks.

Alright cause that was the first impression of the band, that they needed a catch to sell there music and attract a crowd, and Slipknots best reason for there idea according to you, sliptallica essey man, is that "duhhhh, we play better with them" I'm not saying there bad or anything but I think there image is kinda gimicy don't like loose your pants over it man just giving my opinion.

If you didn't expect someone to argue back, you shouldn't have said anything.

My point is the original idea behind the masks wasn't so people will buy there stuff. It just turned out that some idiot kids thought that they were a good reason and it turned out that way.

I have a big hunch by the next time they hit the recording studio, they wont have masks on anymore. There new style doesn't seem right with the masks. It did with the Nu-metal material though.

Whatever you say man but I think they should loose the masks, cause I band should rely on the music not the image of there band and what they look like

I failed what jackass your homo slipknot argument over masks, you know why you don't see many bands wearing masks, cause they are stupid, pathetic, desperate, and gimicy now stfu and stop talking to me and using my quotes, for the last time SLIPKNOT IS A GOOD BAND IF YOU LIKE THE STYLE OF MUSIC THEY PLAY, I just said it's gimicy, but masks are stupid, I think they should get rid of them, and rely on music more than image you just argue and say no cause your pretty intensly into them.

[relliK]

gimicy huh?

If you were to read any of my posts, you probably would have found out that's not what I said.

I said it wasn't meant to be a gimmick but it turned out kids bought it.

I'm not intensly into them either. Calm down.

No I'm kiddin lol it's kinda original just seing how angry you hardcore slipknot fans get

Cover-up...

No one got angry except you.

edit:

To the above post---But intensely? No, I used to really like them, but not as much as I used to. I just find it annoying when people think that Slipknot literally put on the masks to get some money, which just isn't true.

[Mr. Hankie]

Hmmm..........I wouldn't say it is a gimmick, because what if some of the members are real "hot". And from what girls I talk to, they all think Joey is fine as hell, even though he has a biga$s forehead. I think the masks are there to hide their faces.

Yeah well I never said puttin on masks was to make money, but honestly I don't care enough about slipknot to get angry, I saw your name sliptallica, and thought you would spaz if I made fun of them

[Huber]

Remember a post you did about...10 minutes ago? Saying something about homos and telling me to stfu and such? Angry, no?

The meaning of gimmick to most people is doing something un-musical and such to get more money. That was just a misunderstanding.

No I'm kiddin lol it's kinda original just seing how angry you hardcore slipknot fans get

The cover competition needs more support! The Tool thread tried to start up some enthusiasm for it again but it died a few days later again.

It just seems that after a few days people become lazy and forget about it. I'd say I'm guilty of this. I keep forgetting to upload my NEM drum track for the Metallica thread.

My friend said he knew some kid who got high with Joey. I dont know if I believe him though.

Oh yeah, he's missing Only One too.

[harvester_of_sorrowx]

how can you ppl say that slipknot have no talent!? admitidely they have 2 members who do **** all, but you gotta love it, the bin effects lol an as for sayin mick is a sh1t guitarist! YOUR ALL FOOLS!!! anyone who says that obviously has never LISTENED to any slipknot songs, pulse of the maggots for example, awesome song, with amazingly hard solo!!! and joey...o yea sure he sux...thats why he filled in for lars for metallica at the 2003 download festival!!! SLIPKNOT ARE AWESOME!!! :thumb:

[Dr. Killgreedy]

mick and james both have talent but they especially dont show it in slipknot. thats for d*** sure. joey has good rhthym when it comes to drums. but as for the rest of them they have no talent which interferes w/ joey, mick, and james. thats why alot of people dont like slipknot because they produce the same sound. every slipknot album is the same. i believe mick, james, and joey should form their own band and then they might have something otherwise they wont amount to nothing.

How can I say that and defend it, like this. All Mick and James do is is play the same chords over and over, with in similoar time. With the exception of some songs like Surfacing, and with the exception of there few solos. They have 4 members with almost no purpose, Clown and Shawn do nothing apart from a few backing vocals, and one drummer is enough. They also have that mixer who you can only hear on The Heretic Anthem and one or two other songs. They also have two bassists, WHAT THE ****? You can't even hear them except for maybe a few notes in some songs. I'll talk about Joey in the next paragraph.

and joey...o yea sure he sux...thats why he filled in for lars for metallica at the 2003 download festival!!! SLIPKNOT ARE AWESOME!!! :thumb:
As promised I will now talk about Joey. Joey is an ok drummer. He does a good job at using his double bass pedal, but he nowhere nears the drumming of many other drummers. He does have many great atributes, but he doesn't really show it in his drumming. Many times people have shown me the clip of him on the Disasterpieces DVD during his drum solo. He does the same thing over and over again, he does that very well, but he does not do reallly anthing else. I understand that he was flipped upside down, but he does not change what he is doing at all.


I do like Slipknot, but to say that they are an extremely talented band is crazy. I do think that they have some talent, but simply do not show it in Slipknot. And if you want anyone to take you serious, then spell and punctuate correctly.

[Dr. Killgreedy]

lol i agree w/ follow the reaper thats the same thing i believe, if you havent noticed my post above reaper.

[Follow The Reaper]

Atleast someone agrees with me.

[Dr. Killgreedy]

really truthfully i didnt like stone sour either. lol maybe im just prejudice against any band w/ corey taylor. i dont know but slipknot doesnt get my vote on anything except slipknot=sh*t. how ironic thats their saying.

[royman2001]

Clown and Shawn do nothing apart from a few backing vocals

Clown and Shawn are the same person.

They also have that mixer who you can only hear on The Heretic Anthem and one or two other songs.

Agreed.

They also have two bassists

No they don't.


But all around I agree with you.

[Follow The Reaper]

I actually really enjoy Slipknot, but It's pisses me off when people try to say that Slipknot is an amazingly talented band. I haven't heard Stone Sour though.

EDIT: I meant that the two were Clown and Chris, not Clown and Shawn. Sorry about the bassists thing, I was thinking they had two for some reason.

[harvester_of_sorrowx]

whilst i like slipknot, 1 thing that puts me off is their lack of personal hygene lol did you know joey pisses himself before a tour an dosent change underwear through the whole tour!!!!! man thats guys gotta stink, an hes suprisingly short for such a good drummer...an the whole throwin their sh1t into the crowd........right.........

[Dr. Killgreedy]

well i dont know if you would like stone sour or not, maybe you would since you say you enjoy slipknot then you might like 'em. i know alot of people who listen to both slipknot and stone sour but they just arent for me.

YOUR ALL FOOLS!!! anyone who says that obviously has never LISTENED to any slipknot songs, pulse of the maggots for example, awesome song, with amazingly hard solo!!! and joey...o yea sure he sux...thats why he filled in for lars for metallica at the 2003 download festival!!!

How does your computer crashing have to do with your account being lost.

[Dr. Killgreedy]

and before i started coming here i went to tabmall.com and tabcrawler.com which i think are now the same website.

[Dr. Killgreedy]

because when it crashed i had a month to check my account so it wouldnt go away well i never got the time to re-activate it because i had got a job and then i didnt have the time to go over to my friends house and check it. thats why i lost my account.

Slipknot needs some new happenings.This thread has gotten awfully repetitive and awfully stupid.Some douchebag comes in and says something negative, followed by half hearted retorts from some other people, which is soon followed by a lame discussion on whether Slipknot has talent or not.

The guys in Slipknot CAN play their instruments.The reason you dont see Paul do any MFKR stuff or you dont see Jim and Mick play ten of the most technical but most unmemorable guitar riffs per song is because Slipknot's credo is not built around being a technical band.Slipknot is about just writing simple tunes that are to the point and grab attention.They do just that.Vol.3 is filled with good song after good song.Anyone who denies that is obviously a ****in dickhead.

Another thing that has begun to annoy me is how you constantly have to remind yourself and others that Joey is not the greatest drummer in the world when you discuss him.Joey is a very good drummer, just leave it at that.No need for the "oh joey is good but hes not the best, there are so many way better than him" and yadda yadda yadda.Joey rules at the drums.Simple as that.I dont need to list off other drummers who are better or possibly better just to evade sounding like a little maggot fanboy.But who cares if I do.

How can I say that and defend it, like this. All Mick and James do is is play the same chords over and over, with in similoar time. With the exception of some songs like Surfacing, and with the exception of there few solos. They have 4 members with almost no purpose, Clown and Shawn do nothing apart from a few backing vocals, and one drummer is enough.

yes, about time someone set this straight.

[PepsiMetal]

Some people are douchebags no doubt.

Joey is a great drummer. Nobody ever said he is the best, but they just have to point out, "But there are better drummers out there." NO **** YOU IDIOTS!!!! Most average drummers can't or have hard time playing joey's beats. And that doesn't mean there aren't drummer that can play his beats, because there are plenty of them obviously.

They have 1 bassist as it's been pointed out. Somebody in this thread doesn't know **** about slipknot, but they are claiming as the band is untalented. How can you claim such a thing if you think they have 2 bassists?

I agree with relliK about everything in his post.

If you don't like the thread then don't post in it and call people douchebags for doing just that.

He called people a douchebag because they claim slipknot is untalented, but yet they dont even know how many bassists/guitarists/drummers/vocalists they have.

IYou're an idiot. I know that they play not so technical songs, I was just saying that they don't play hard amazing riffs. Also, just so someone doesn't like Slipknot's music which a lot of people don't they are dickheads.

Why does a band have to play hard amazing riffs to sound good? Souding good has nothing to do with how hard or heavy riffs are.

Joey is an ok drummer. He is not amazing, or anywhere close to that. And I'm not a maggot fanboy, if I was then I would be saying how awesome Mick, Joey, Jim, and Paul, Chris, and Clown and the rest of the band were.

An Ok drummer is the one that is average. Find me an average drummer that can nail joey's beats perfectly and your statement will be somewhat true. If you are a drummer, haha, well let's see you do some slipknot's beats.

[Chippy569]

^ i honestly question how much of joey's drumming was touched up in protools.

[slit_21]

Not only is joey a great drummer ( not saying the best so dont chew me out,) but he can play guitar also.

[PepsiMetal]

^ i honestly question how much of joey's drumming was touched up in protools.

Not much as he can play his beats live also. If they touched it up in protools (or if that's what I Think it is) then he would have problems playing his own beats. :lol:

If that's not what you meant, nevermind...

[Alexpc007]

i dont consider my self as a maggot , i do like about 15 songs of Slipknot
my dad and sister doesnt like em, and if my mom who is very religious(christian) would find out who they are then it would be funny, :lol:

[Sleeper]

Wow, this thread is back from the dead.

[Mr. Black]

Hey I recently borrowed IOWA from My friend, and had a listen to it,
Now What was good about the album is, the music is good, good guitar playing, the drummer and the percussionists are in time perfectly with each other, and the lyrics are good and the songs have meanings,

What I Thought was bad about the album is THe bass can't be heard, so they might as well not have a bass player, most of the songs if not all of them start with a guitar intro. And the songs, I feel anyway would be a lot better if Corey didn't scream,

Now this is all that I've heard of SlipKnot, apart form the album only duality and Vermillion 1 & 2. But after hearing all those songs, I realised that it couldn't all be like that , and that surely some of the albums have changed and the band have excelled or not, and whether they have got better or worse

[Furia]

I've listen to self titled,iowa and vol3 and each has its good points.vol 3 is more melodic more use of solos and acoustic brought in for circle and vermilion pt2.iowa is more dark faster and the heaviest.the self titled has good balance prob best vocals wise imo

[Refl]

MFKR and Vol 3. are both brilliant albums.

Self titled and Iowa are less so.

[Sleeper]

I always liked Iowa for its intensity.

[TheSubtleArts]

Isnt there a dvd coming out this month? i remember the release date getting dropped from June till August i think.

[Sleeper]

Im not sure, they keep pushing back the release date.

[Down'd Angel]

it was pushed back to march...i believe that is the final change that they are gonna do...

the reason for this one was because there is a live cd coming out in october...they have been recording all of these shows they have been playing for the past year...and then choose the best sounding songs for the cd...

[punk&metal_fan]

It was a sweet performance, but Jimmy was acting like a major dousch, but that's just Jimmy I guess.
The band could really do without the crazy guy who hits things with a bat occasionally, he doesn't add anything to the band.


obviously you know nothing about slipknot..........

Wasn't there a preview thing you could get awhile back with the purchase of Vol. 3? Anyone seen it?

[Sleeper]

No, I thought that Vol 3 came with some bonus songs.

[Huber]

Yeah but I thought if you like bought that new special edition one at some certain store (Target I think) you got a preview of the DVD. This was awhile ago though. Probably a limited time thing.

Hmm, I'm not sure.

You seem to like all of the songs that most Slipknot fans hate. Why is it that I dont see you listing such songs as Eyeless, Sic, People=**** and The Heretic Anthem?

[PepsiMetal]

You seem to like all of the songs that most Slipknot fans hate. Why is it that I dont see you listing such songs as Eyeless, Sic, People=**** and The Heretic Anthem?

All songs he listed have good melodical chorus' while most of those you listed dont. When I first heard slipknot, I seriously thought they weren't for me until I heard wait and bleed and vermillion. Now I like sic, people=****, spit it out, etc..

[Down'd Angel]

what PepsiMetal posted is exactly right...those songs are a little bit more commercial and easier for people to transition into them...

when the S/T came out...i was like fu.ck yeah....especially from the ending into sic...i was not expecting that...its beautiful as hell...

[tomtom]

dude's, i hate 2 be tha bearer of bad news, but today i hear'd som1 say slipknot had sold out!!!

plus...joey is my favorite drummer...so only seems fitting to like them...

[Sleeper]

They have been my favorite band since i was really young, there were something new at the time.

[Down'd Angel]

theyve been my favorite band since late 1996/early 1997 when i had heard MFKR...they are just amazing...

but its just people dont care...so i don't try...

[tomtom]

i just like them, full stop. good music, good musicians, good everything. i reckon joey's an awesome drummer, micks an awesome guitarist, and corey's vocals fit awesomely.

[panthersfan16]

Yeah I'm more a fan of Corey. Mick and Joey are awesome at what they do, but i really like Corey's voice. He sounds good no matter what he sings imo

[Mr Herb]

Fix the double post.

He isn't there currently to do anything fantastic, and he admits that. He has shown some great bass work on Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat though.

i can respect that slipknot are great musicians but they are just not my kinda music

if you know what i mean

[Mr. Black]

Yeah I'm more a fan of Corey. Mick and Joey are awesome at what they do, but i really like Corey's voice. He sounds good no matter what he sings imo



Just Consider this, I feel, altough you may disagree with me, that Corey screaming ruins a lot of the music, Now I posted about the album IOWA a few pages back, and I still think that Slipknot's music would be better if Corey sang, instead of screamed. :thumb:

[no compromise2]

Their music doesnt seem as heavy as it was in Iowa. I liked when he screamed though the song on the Subliminal album are still good. Mick and James are my favorite guys cuz they play the guitar. Joey is really awesome.

[Mr. Black]

This thread keeps coming and going, lets keep it here for now is subliminal verses 3 any good

[Down'd Angel]

vol 3 is good in its own way...it is different from their first two...i think you'd get mixed emotions about it...

people that never like slipknot before like them now due to this album and only this album...while some people dont like it that have liked slipknot from the very beginning...

personally...i think it is a great album...it shows how they have expanded over the years as musicians...and have been able to express themselves way differently from their S/T (which is my fav. by the way)...

[tomtom]

yes. that's it. subliminal verses is awesome. i'm listeing 2 it now lol. i think the more "refined" sound (if u get what i mean) makes it easy to listen to. i think this is the best album yet. it just sound more tidy. can't wait for tha next album. Before I Forget is awesome, and vermillion pt2 is awesome. the wholy bloody things awesome.

I agree, I was dissappointed in their bassist and guitarists, but this is only in their recent material. I've heard excellent things about their first album, so I may just download it someday to hear what people like about it.
I won't ever say they're boring, however. They do have some cool masks, and their stage shows are quite violent, apparently.

We get so many of these posts...

Nicely put, if you have never see them live. Then you dont know why alot of people listen to them. There live shows are so energetic, they have Sid jumping into the crowd from the rafters. Such great stuff when there live.

[tomtom]

i know. i'm only 15, and not loaded, so i don't really see many concert. i have to resort to downloading clips of them. in my opinion, they're like lunatics lol. they're awesome in almost everyway. there is one thing they could do, however, which is turn up the bass a bit. gives yo a good solid rythm to head-bang to lol.

Just Consider this, I feel, altough you may disagree with me, that Corey screaming ruins a lot of the music, Now I posted about the album IOWA a few pages back, and I still think that Slipknot's music would be better if Corey sang, instead of screamed. :thumb:

I kinda agree. I think on the newest album he has a perfect blend of clean and scream goin on. If you like his cleans, check out stonesour, my other favorite band :D

Hey people, im not a big Slipknot listener by any means, i have seen them live though and they put on one hell of a show. I wanted to ask people with much more opinion on the matter than myself, how do you guys feel about Slipknots new material, because i listened to a couple of their new tracks 'duality' and 'before i forget' and althought i don't really mind them, it just seems very different from their earlier stuff, theres more melody, yet... less depth, what do you think ?

[Huber]

You're right. Much different. This album they incorporated more technicality into what was before pretty simple aggressive music, along with some melody.

[panasonic youth]

Yeah Vol3 isn't bad. I like how they're trying new stuff (acoustic work, soloing). I don't like their older stuff, its too bland. To me its basically just bland nu-metal material, but in subliminal you can hear that they're progressing, and who knows, in 4 or 5 years, they might have a completely new sound.

[mr black]

Thanks guys good to see i wasn't completely off the mark :chug: Have to say i like their new stuff, the lyrics in Vol3 make me question why i hear so many people lable them as death metal, when they're blatantly agressive nu-metal. Peace

[deathscreamingsheep]

Probably becuase most people haven't heard death metal. They assume anything with heavyness and gritty vocals is death metal. I doubt any of them can name many actual death metal bands at all.

[G_Mac07]

the lyrics in Vol3 make me question why i hear so many people lable them as death metal, when they're blatantly agressive nu-metal.

Those people don't know any better. Also, the use of the word agressive is not needed, as metal is generally deemed to be an agressive style of music.

EDIT: Late, but I was writing up something I then decided not to post.

[Systemofadown]

slipknots cool but i only like about 10 of ther songs

[Sleeper]

Has anyone heard that rumor about Slipknot breaking up after touring?

[relliK]

Like 300,000,000 times.

[Sleeper]

I'm not sure where they would get that from though.

[Paranoidd]

WHAT THE F**K......DISAPOINTS YOU?....IF PAUL DISAPPOINTS YOU THEN YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE NO TASTE AT ALL...*******!

Could be he doesn't like the fact that Paul isn't...hmm...audible?

[DemonicRubberDucky]

I dunno if anyone knows, but here's a good Slipknot (and nu-metal, for that matter...) site.

http://www.pulseofthemaggots.com

[Tillius]

http://www.metabolic666.com is another good site.

[Sleeper]

I used to go to Black Goat fansite, that was a really good one.

It was meh. I liked Duality, Before I Forget (the song, I hated the video), The Blister Exists, and Three Nil, but I seriously disliked Cirlce, Vermillion, and Virmillion Part Two.

[Down'd Angel]

another good site is... www.mfkr1.com...

great forum on there...

[deathscreamingsheep]

In the Blister Exists and a couple of other songs show that Mick isn't bad at guitar. Also in Total Guitar they have done a lot of great shredding and playing exercises so my question is: if they have so much talent why the hell don't they ever do any technical playing at all? (I haven't heard Subliminal Verses fully though and I hear they do some sweep picking and other things in that?)

[Phobophile]

This is true. They def have chops,they just choose to not use them as they don't more times then not fit into the music. To really hear them shred listen to MFKR.

[relliK]

Mick and Jim are not on MFKR.

[Down'd Angel]

^ right...they had donnie and josh on guitar...

[tomtom]

YEAH, slipknots starting the Final Chapter tour in november, i'm not sure, i'll check it for ya's. pity they aren't coming to aus, oh well, next album lol.

[virgil_fan]

The slipknot drummer is pretty awesome. hes got some great chops, especially with the double bass drum (its a pity he can only do single strokes though, RLRLRLRL). The guitarists are pretty awesome too (im not a guitarist but they sound great). Overall i reckon slipknot are a great band.

[andyhainey]

HIS NAME IS JOEY, NOT THE DRUMMER GUY, DONT EVR REFER TO HIM AS THAT AGAIN, ARE WE CLEAR?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Thor]

HIS NAME IS JOEY, NOT THE DRUMMER GUY, DONT EVR REFER TO HIM AS THAT AGAIN, ARE WE CLEAR?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Dude, chill out. It's not that big of a deal.

[exup]

and after all, he is the drummer guy

[Down'd Angel]

Dude, chill out. It's not that big of a deal.

i believe he was being sarcastic...you dont have to take it to heart of what he says...

and after all, he is the drummer guy

he is the drummer...but there are two percussionists...so technically he is not the only "drummer guy"...

[exup]

details, details

[Thor]

Can we start a real conversation now? This is getting pretty stupid.

[Down'd Angel]

hmm...it never seems like people can ever have a decent convo on here...

yet when people say they want to...they never do...

[Huber]

Joey played the drums on The Murderdoll's album right? If so I think that was some of his best work.

And just to get this out of the way:

I know he plays guitar for the band! However, I believe on the album he played drums because they lacked a drummer at the time.

[Down'd Angel]

i think you are right...i heard that before...i knew he wrote all the material for it...but i am not sure if the recordings are him...

[exup]

i never heard it, should i ?

// i mean , is it worth listening?

[Huber]

i never heard it, should i ?

// i mean , is it worth listening?

Yes. Fun, cool music.

[Down'd Angel]

hell yeah...murderdolls is a pretty fun group to listen too...

[Dragon_Prince]

Okay, so I have this conversation with a freind

I say slipknot is hardcore/grindcore/etc etc :P

he says it's metal

who's right?

[Deathcrush]

Slipknot is grindcore? :lol:

What the **** are you smoking?

[superpeer]

Okay, so I have this conversation with a freind

who's right?

Neither of you.

[Deathcrush]

Well, technically they fall under a sub-genre of 'metal'.

[andyhainey]

Slipknot is grindcore? :lol:

What the **** are you smoking?

perhaps hes smoking pot, anyway, slipknot sometimes do abit of death metal, such as ppl = s**t and eeyore, but they do other stuff like vmll pt. 2

[Dragon_Prince]

Slipknot is grindcore? :lol:

What the **** are you smoking?


I've read that somewhere :P

But waht is it then?

[andyhainey]

ALL SORTS, but mainly death metal

[Deathcrush]

ALL SORTS, but mainly death metal

No and no.

[andyhainey]

No and no.

oh? what would you say they r?

[Heavens_Shadow]

Id just like to say that slipknot is one of the best bands that ever lived and there not afraid to say what they think because they own your soul

[andyhainey]

agreed :thumb:

[Deathcrush]

oh? what would you say they r?

Personally, I'd say they're "disposable, aimed at angsty goth-fag-teenagers who get bullied at high-school, redundant, cheesy, artistically devoid, sell-out bullshit" but they're generally accepted as a death metal influenced form of nu-metal, with hints of other genres incorporated, eg. the clean songs etc.

[Heavens_Shadow]

yeah theres so many people that r like i hate slipknot because they are a stupid band i say go f*** urself if u think that thats my opinion

[Deathcrush]

there not afraid to say

Actually, an interview with Mick Thompson contradicts that statement, where he claims that they took out lots of parts from their songs in order to make it more accessable to the masses, because their manager told them to.
