[Reywas]

It is needed. Not in the studio, but their live show benefits from these clowns inciting the crowd and stuff.

Showmanship then, so they're basically there to pump the crowd up.

If ONE MORE PERSON complains about Slipknot's three percussionists, I'll shoot him.

It is needed.

Why?

Bands like Tool or Muse can pump the crowd up just as well with way less than half the members. :p

But for Slipknot? Yeah, for them maybe it IS needed.

I like Slipknot also.
I like Iowa more than anything else though. Everything except Heretics Anthem.

Eyeless is my favourite song, I need to see them live.

Please. Don't take me seriously. I like a couple of Slipknot songs, they're not my cup of tea most of the time, but I'm not saying they're terrible or anything.

They do what they do well; strike a chord with angsty teens.

[Dude3]

I like Slipknot too. I don't really think they're that talented or anything, but they make some good songs.

I like their first 2 cds the best. For some reason, I pretty much hated their newest effort.

[Otherside]

I had a odd thing happen to me the other day; a group of godcore/hXc kids claimed that I had bad musical taste because I listened to Radiohead. I was confused at first, but the irony hit me and I just laughed. Later one of my friends was talking to the same guys, and when he brought up the subject of Tool, they said something like "I hate Tool, they suck and are satanic". That was just even funnier to me.

To add meaning to this post, anyone else have any experiences with people who were just so musically ignorant they make you laugh?

Um, what the hell is godcore.

they are quite right about tool indeed, in fact in HWAP Maynard clearly says he sold his soul to make a record, therefore satan 666. :lol:

yeah, my sister f.e.
though she is 3years older than me (23) she really thinks that i believe in satan: and that only cause i once draw a pentagram and i listen to metal-music. she doesn't respect and tolerate the music i listen too.... that's so sad, cause its my sister!!

i don't have a problem being called 'satanist' :evil:

This may just be me being an *** but it bothers me when like twice a day someone comes up to you and goes "Rap or Rock?" as though they are the only two genres any teenage kid would listen to. Argh.

Edit:

Oh, and Hoorah! for the Slipknot representation.


Why?

But for Slipknot? Yeah, for them maybe it IS needed.

The percussionists give the music the primal aggresion that they've always wanted and gotten in there music. If you need an explanation for the DJ, you need to listen closer as he adds so much to the S/T album and Iowa, and there is a ton of sampling to be done. They aren't unnecessary, they serve great purposes.

[Kage]

Very true.


Tool is obviously satanic, duh, dey dont wroshpi God and use cuzz words LOLZ.

Sometimes I just imagine Kerry King being a cool guy. But then I turn around and read some other stuff that he's done and wonder "What happened?"

[Moses]

I really like Slipknot's MFKR album and the new one in a few places, other than that I don't listen to the other stuff anymore.

The live show they put on will probably be the best show you'll see. To give you an idea of how good they are live these are some bands in the same league live-wise:

Dream Theater
Megadeth
Iron Maiden
Nevermore
Symphony X
Mastodon
Rob Zombie
Judas Priest

I'll put Slipknot up against any of those bands.

In all fairness, that's not really a question that should bug you. Popular music (Pop) is comprised of Rap and Hip Hop, and the other half of the coin is Rock (A very wide ranging genre). Now, I'm sure there are a few that listen to Jazz and Classical, but how often have you asked someone what they listen to, and they throw out Miles Davis?

That, and the common person couldn't tell you the difference between Doom Metal and Stoner Metal, so more defined genre names would just get you weird looks.

[repcak]

but then the question should be "pop or rock" and not rap

i hate those kids. just about everyone in that scene has no idea What "hardcore" or "emo" actually is. annoy the hell out of me. godcore, hahahaha.

[Knifeboy]

I'm halfway through the first one now, I prefer the second one at the moment, but that's because it was easier to listen to and this one seems slightly repetitive, but my opinion will probably change when i listen to them more. I am enjoying their sound though.

Hehe, I was hoping you'd say the new one was alot better than the old one, because that would make it easier for lazy me to get the album

He always looks like he's going to kill you. He sounds like an *** a lot of the time in interviews too. But whenever I see a video of him, he seems so cool! Real laid back, and........normal?

I wish he would grow the hair back and loose the beard. He looked so much better during their SITA days.


Please don't rain! I want to go to the aquatic club(a very cool hangout in my neighborhood. Its basically a community center/pool. It has an olympic swimming pool with those diving platforms. Then it has a waterpark-ish type thing. It has a slide, that is amazingly fun. Plus a cabana with a bunch of junk food). Well, here:

why asking? most of the time you see how one is dressed and you know what kind of music he listen to. during my holidays in poland at the sea i met a girl and i immediatly knew what kind of music she listens to. after a time i asked her "what kind of music do you like?" and it turned round that i was right.

Yeah, its too easy these days. I can do that with a few things though.


My school year has already started, and there was this one girl(which I have not met) who was really annoying for some reason. I had the feeling she was a vegan.

I just got my hands on a legit copy of death from above 1979's album.. After listening to the mp3's I had for ages.. Whenever I put this album on I have to fight the urge to start jumping around

[Moses]

I dress like a wigger during the school year because it's comfortable when it's less hot.

And back on the Slipknot discussion here's a couple songs from MFKR album:

Some Feel (http://tinyurl.com/73qac)

I own the album. It's a winner.

That song is one of the best on it too.

[Mr Herb]

You cant tell what I listen by just loking at me, I look close to your regular jock

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

^Yeah, same here. When I tell people what I listen to, they usually stare at me for 5 seconds, probably thinking something like "I have never heard of a single band he just said," then they say "oh well, I would think you'd just listen to punk and stuff because you're a skater."

:upset:

Stereotype minus minus. :cool:

[Knifeboy]

you can't tell what I listen to by looking at me because I listen to everything... (Well.. Maybe you can tell SOME of what I listen to.. Hehe)

[Huber]

Meh, when people do ask "What do you listen to?" I just say a large variety of things. Then they probably ask my favorite band, and I say some of my favorites are Slipknot, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Meshuggah, Tool or something like that. If they keep talking after that I'll bring up some lesser known bands but I'd like to keep a conversation on music going if I can because I don't get the priveledge often IRL.

[Mr Herb]

They go like. . . who tha **** is tool?!

But its cool cause they all know coldplay, me lvoe coldplay :)

[repcak]

yeah stereotype... its the same with me.
when i was 15 - 16 i listend to bands like the strokes, the hives, etc. and dressed like them.
with 17 i discovered metal, but the clothes stayed... one year ago they still thought i listen to the strokes and were shocked when i told them the truth...
now (soon 20) i start to dress different than 3years ago.

[Huber]

I just wear jeans and get whatever shirts I think look cool. Band shirts, some plain, and my favorite is this badass Pearl Drums shirt with an awesome skull with sticks sticking out of it's eye sockets.

I usually mention the bands that I listen to from the genre I know the person I'm talking to likes.. Hehe

My clothes is as random as my musical tastes.. Normally I wear jeans and a tee, but I've been known to go around in bermuda shorts, and hawaii shirts, suits, pink tops, etc

[repcak]

i just start to dress black... but beautiful black with style.
don't like band t-shirts, only if they are really nice (like nin-tshirts)

my favourites colors: black, military/deep-green and deep-red.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I just wear T shirts and usually shorts. For December and January, I bust out with some pants, but I like the free-form feeling of shorts more. I also own a kilt that I wore to a school dance once, but I wouldn't call that my typical wardrobe. :cool:

[Dude3]

I wear mostly skate/surf clothes. Kinda baggy. And some band shirts too. When people ask what I listen to, I just say "Everything from Death Metal to Ska". Its the truth.

[Dude3]

My school is kinda outside like, if you know what I mean. Ita a quater-mile long, and the middle of the school is split, so that it makes a massive walkway and two seperate buildings(which are split again horizontally). Its also 2 stories, so I have fun with that. I go on the higher level, and yell(Brad for example) "Brad, this is God!" to people below me. Oh the joy.

I think The Strokes are pretty much a classic example of critics creating a buzz around a band that would never ever exist if looked at reasonably.

Eh, I don't really care what critics think. I like the band because I think they're fun to listen to.

Am I the only one who really dig Emotive? I think they captured a "the doomsday is near" feel throughout the whole album.. It's very atmospheric imo

The only tracks I liked were Imagine, Passive, When The Levee Breaks (the only cover where they really did some interesting), and Counting Bodies. Overall, the album felt rushed and unfinished, and that APC took a group of classic songs, and for the most part, took everything away and gave nothing back but awkward industrial beats. Jeordie and James weren't even on the album, Josh's immense talents were wasted, and I don't like Billy's voice.

Meh. Just my opinion.

[Darkness]

I only liked the first 5...

[Huber]

Yeah, I too only liked a few select tracks. I really dig passive though, and Imagine.

I really didn't like Passive... the chorus was very, very week IMO.

Dont get me wrong im a huge Tool and A perfect circle fan but im just trying to make a point!! Sorry if this is crap but thats how i feel...

Bought Aenima. Quite frankly, I'm a little dissapointed in it. I love Lateralus, Aenima just seemed like a "nothing" album. Nothing really stood out and it seemed a little try-hard to me, as in they were trying hard to be wierd.

I'll probably love it after a few more spins. However it's gonna have to pry "Scenes from a Memory" from my hands first.

[besakol]

just keep listening. eventually, you'll love it. every ****ing track. trust me.

[repcak]

i like Aenima more than Lateralus, though both are great.

listen to the record several times and you will like it. the more you listen to it, the more you will love it. that's always the same when listening to a new record.

[The Flabbit Rides High]

I like Aenima more than Lateralus aswell.

I think he sings if more emotion on that album. On Lateralus he kinda sounds robotic.

Its not a bad thing, I just like other style better.

Then there is all the rumours about the new singing style. arghhh

[Rounder]

same here on my Ænima cd. the scratch is on the end of the cd so when it gets to the part where maynards starts singing "so good to see you" thats when it starts to skip. so i have to yet get another one.
between me and my briother, i think weve been through 2 opiates, 3 undertows, like 6 Aenima's, and 3 Lateralus. We've managed to keep Salival intact somehow.

Dream Theater is a classic example of a band that's trying too hard (at least on the last 3 albums). Tool is beautiful in it's subtlety. I've heard people say before how they though Tool was weird, that though never crossed my mind. I see Tool as art, and the songs are kind of like paintings, especially on Aenima. I always thought Aenima was the most subtle of all Tool records. It's a little dark, but it is still positive. Most of the songs are coming from a perspective of being in a negative space looking for the positive in the situation.

[Macka80]

Are Tool still out there playing?? i havent heard anything bout them for awhile!! dont know if im just out of the loop or not?? lol

I definately don't agree on that!
Although, none of the albums touch anywhere close as their earlier recordings, I think it's just like with Tool, they went in a different direction, maybe Dream Theater's won't pay off as much as Tool's..

[Kurrpt]

yea.... i saw Dream Theater this weekend...


and whoever said that is a fukking knob.

From a muscian's standpoint, greatest band ever....

[Moses]

Dream Theater is probably the best band I've seen live. I mean they just leave you floored. It's not even the technicality of the music that leaves you floored, it's just the music in general. Alot of people were probably impressed by their virtuosity but some how they just really delivered.

[Huber]

Is Octavarium that disappointing or are people over-reacting?

actually for me, its a culmination of everything. I get a lot of inspiration from petrucci. It actually fuels me to stay up a lot and just tackle problems head on, and not giving up.

It seems so effortless for them. They are also not flashy and over the top, as like the Dilinger Escape Plan was, who were terrible

For me it's like the exact opposite, to listen to their CDs I have to listen to the whole thing, especially with Scenes From a Memory.

Forty Six and Two (http://tinyurl.com/8m9ul)

With Dream Theater I usually listen to individual songs. Awake is becoming my favorite from them. When I saw them live it was just such a good show even with the virtuosity aspect left out. I mean some parts were just such a sonic orgasm and hearing it live it just left me with my jaw to the floor.

Really?!
For me it's like the exact opposite, to listen to their CDs I have to listen to the whole thing, especially with Scenes From a Memory.
.

I listened to the full cd's back when I wasn't bored of them.. But I just got tired of their sound.. I ocasionally listen to The Glass Prison, and some of the songs from Images & Words, but the rest is just too bland for me

[Kurrpt]

i have all their albums, and i dont think ive listened to all of them actually :lol:


i wont lie, i love petrucci, and thats why i like them hehe

[Shadius]

Dream Theater is probably the best band I've seen live. I mean they just leave you floored. It's not even the technicality of the music that leaves you floored, it's just the music in general. Alot of people were probably impressed by their virtuosity but some how they just really delivered.

I wasn't all that impressed by the Live at Budokan DVD. To be honest, I think Dream Theater are ok. I probably just prefer bands with catchier leads and riffs in the place of technicality. They do have some good songs, but overall I've sorta gone off them. The vocals are hit or miss with me as well.

[Moses]

Also with the mention of Dillinger Escape Plan, the sole purpose of their music is to give a chaotic feeling to the listener.

Also that brings up another band, Meshuggah. Have you ever been listening to them and got like a zoning-out kind of feeling? I read in an interview, that was the sole purpose of their music.

[Shadius]

I do.

They have some fantastic pieces. Though the vocals again are hit or miss with me. Sometimes I just can't stand to listen to them. Also, sometimes I find them to be too technical for the sake of it.

well, Myung's tap solo i saw live on saturday was the sh!t...

but personally, if you see Petrucci going at break neck speed like he was, i dont think you can really compare the 2

[Chu]

Myung has to go at the speed of Petrucci sometimes :p

[Moses]

If you want some awesome tapping, Claypool is the man. I think tapping is really overrated. I mean people see it and are like "OMG taht looks teh hardested!!!1"

[Kurrpt]

What did he say?
well, im not sure what the person in general admission said to him, but he made it a point to talk sh!t about him the entire show..

saying something about "how long did it take you to grow that mustache"

also

"..for someone who is old and lives with their mom"


it just seemed really lame to me.

Also, the guitarist apparently had a problem with his sound, feed, or something during the show, and chucks his guitar, which is kinda kewl, but childish. Then when the tech came out to grab the guitar and give him a new one, the guitarist shoved him outta the way.

well, when you can 10 finger tap, you post a video, and i'll finally give this post some merit.

tappin is hard to do CLEAN, and IN TIME

[Kurrpt]

Myung has to go at the speed of Petrucci sometimes :p


i totally agree, but he picks with like 4 fingers, which helps...

plus when petrucci is going mach 4, myung isnt.

[Shadius]

I have such a love/hate relationship with Power-Metal in general though. Well, a lot of metal, I suppose. I can't stand the cheesy traditional metal vocal style most of the time, ie: Iron Maiden, and that goes especially for Power-Metal style vocals. It sounds so out-dated to my ears, I just 95% of the time can't get into it.

But on the other hand, I absolutely adore the guitar-work. It's weird though, because if the style changes slightly I can enjoy over-the-top vocals. Like, I dunno, Avenged Sevenfold, or Muse.

[Moses]

You mean 8 finger tapping. Also if you think of piano as 10 finger tapping that's what I'm good at. I play classical and jazz and maybe I'll post a recording sometime of that.

Also to not like a band because some one was talking **** is pretty stupid.

[Kurrpt]

yea..

when i heard Fear Factory, i hated the vocal, lyrics, all that..

but there were a few riffs that i could get into a lot. The dudes we met in front of us were BIG fans, so that helped me a little

[Darkness]

I've been working on my tapping a lot latly... getting decent. :p And its a good way to impress the ladies. :naughty:

[Kurrpt]

is there a specific example you are working on, or what?

[Darkness]

Not really, mostly improvising in different keys.

[Kurrpt]

kewl, do you use ur index or middle finger?

[Darkness]

At first index, but now I'm trying to tap a section, then go back to picking, so I need my index and thumb to hold the pick.

[Kurrpt]

At first index, but now I'm trying to tap a section, then go back to picking, so I need my index and thumb to hold the pick.

i had that problem a while ago. EVH used to tuck the pick behind his middle finger, and tap with his index.

As it goes, i can actually tap better with my middle finger. I love practicing sweeps with a tap on the high E string

[Darkness]

Yeah tappings cool stuff.

[Kurrpt]

im more into sweeps and legato right now myself. I was heavily into taps for a while, but that move to the way side for now

[Darkness]

Yeah I'm getting into sweeping now to.

[Kurrpt]

i had to recently start the ENTIRE way over. I didnt think my left hand technique was where it should be :upset:

[repcak]

Dream Theater is a great band, but i don't like their music: the singer is singing far too high and petrucci is shredding too often.
i prefer non-shredding-progressive-rock/metal

[Kurrpt]

the new DT album has hardly any shred.

[repcak]

i listened only to 'images and words', 'scene from a memory' and 'six degrees under'

[Darkness]

you meen 6 degrees of inner turbulance, which is rather awesome. The Great Debate rocks my socks.

[Kurrpt]

i think petrucci shreds with class.


check out his solo CD. Theres not much shredding at all

[Darkness]

He does shred with class, some people are always like "OMFG WATS WIT DA CONSTANT WANKIN!?!?!?" I hate that, I love his shredding.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I like LTE but I don't like DT. ...Probably because I hate LaBrie's vocals.

[BlindWriting]

I'm really into DT's Train of Thought right now. The first five tracks are amazing, but then Stream of Consciousness comes on. I really dislike that song, it's a tiresome ten minutes of technical playing with no soul or emotion. Then In the Name of God comes on, which is pretty good.

I'm more of a fan of their heavier stuff, ToT, Awake, "The Glass Prison", I'd rather listen to that then their softer stuff which I honestly find to be a bit cheesy at times.

They're all amazing musicians, true virtuosos who can make some fantastic music. James Labrie can occasionally get on my nerves, but he deserves some credit.

Oh and check out the new modern rock band poll. Hardest choice ever, I think, I'm still undecided between the first four artists.

Yeah, I totally respect his awesome skills, like I do any musician who's better than me, which is most, I assure you. But even though I respect his shredding skills, dosn't mean I want to listen to them all the time. Only occasionally. (:

Images and Words and Scenes from a Memory are my two favourite CD's from what i've heard. Their other stuff I'm not a fan of.. Especially their latest CD. Stuck me as uber-cheesy.

It's pretty nerdy. A few games i've played online, more so years ago used the word uber a lot. It's like, Uber, Leet, pwned. etc.

[Kage]

No, I don't care if it's nerdy. Most people just blatantly misuse the word because they don't know its actual German meaning. It started with people saying, for example, "(insert something here) uber all" which is fine, but then they started saying, "(instert something here) is uber cool," which is not fine. It translates to "(instert something here) is over cool."

It just really irks me for some reason, and it's a pet peeve. It's an ignorance that caught on and people hopped on the bandwagon, and that really angers me.

When you translate uber to over you are missing the fact that languages have different ways of using words that translate the same. Eg. the danish word for over is often used (in slang) in the same way that uber is used in the proposed thread title: "The Uber Tool Thread".

So, let go of your annoyance, as (at least in some countries) it does make sense to use uber in sentences such as "it was uber cool" :cool:

Saying something is uber cool, is actually sort of proper usage (the mixing of two languages aside).. "Das ist uber toll!" <- German phrase.. "That's overly great".. Just because it doesn't make sense directly translated doesn't mean it doesn't make sense at all.

[Kage]

I've never heard it used by any German people, but whatever. And I know that just because something doesn't directly translate doesn't mean it doesn't work. The point is that it bugs me because most people using it don't know what they're actually saying. Several people I've talked to thought it meant "super," which is really annoying. And, aside from that, like you said, the mixing of the two languages is lame.

You're forgetting the fact that virtually every language is a ripoff of a previous language. This is like saying that mixing genres is lame. Learning another language would be a lot harder to master if it weren't for the mixed concepts, like conjugated verbs, similiar uses of definite and indefinite articles, and etcetera.

i never heard uber using in germany or austria too. the only word people are using in vienna (its a sort of dialect/slang - and only (!) in vienna) they say 'UR'-something.
f.e.: Ur-cool, UR-geil, Ur-leiwand, Ur-lässsig, du bist Ur-lieb, etc.
geil, leiwand, lässig you can translate to 'cool' or something like that.

aaagh, I hate how I always end up writing music that I can't play properly...
Changing from the chord 022033 to the chord x54032 is a bitch

[superpeer]

Ok, I finished downloading Ænima. I'll listen to it now, or try to at least.

Did any of you notice how allmusic lowered their rating of that album?

[Knifeboy]

I've been practising it for 3 years.. It's only lately that I've been getting anything usefull out of it... Now if only I had the discipline to practise my technique, I'd be all set! hehe

well, tool is very over rated. so over the years there album ratings will fall, if you want a really meaningful song by them download "L.A.M.C" its an amazing song.....ehm (TOOL sucks by the way) :)

i wonder how many songs will be on the live DVD they are releasing. same question new cd.

[deathmetal]

Good, I'm glad they ain't breaking up right now. Yeah, eventually they will, just as long as it ain't right now, or anytime soon.

[Daven]

What's your opinion on it?

[clearvision]

What's your opinion on it?

I think he liked it, he just doesn't want to say. Because he has slagged them off for so long.

Amirite?

[superpeer]

I'm not sure this thread ix gonna like my opinion on it. :lol:

[Daven]

I personally like more Lateralus than Aenima, but lets hear your opinion.

[Arucard]

I'm not sure this thread ix gonna like my opinion on it. :lol:

Don't worry, i will. Tell us.

[Futuro]

I'm not sure this thread ix gonna like my opinion on it. I would like to hear it if you dont mind :) (i think they suck too so dont worry)

[superpeer]

Well, I didn't like it. The album started off pretty good, Stinkfist is an okay song, apart from the vocals, that's something that annoyed me throughout the entire album, the vocals are so bland, whiny even. I don't really know why you call them progressive, especially with maynard's vocals, they sounds like another post-grungy nu-metal band, I'm not saying that to piss you guys off. Well, maybe a little. :lol:

But seriously, they do sound like a lot of those bands, I forget all their names, the ones who have videos on Launch, only Tool's songs are longer. All of the songs just go on and on, with the exception of Stinkfist, which is about the right length.

The album wasn't particularly terrible or anything, but the fact that it was so long, I mean 9 minutes or even 13 minutes for a song that barely even shows a lot of change. Sure, there were some moments where I would think 'Hmm, nice riff' or sometimes I would enjoy part of the song. The drums were pretty nice, I guess.

Best songs : Stinkfist and especially Intermission, at least that song had some energy.

That reminds me, what's with all the useless tracks? They only add to the boredom.

Overall, I would give it a 2/5 or so, maybe 1.5/5 for beign so damn long.



RUN!

That reminds me, what's with all the useless tracks? They only add to the boredom. i hate those as well.

I personally love that album, its my favorite from them. At least you stated your opinion wisely.

The drums were pretty nice, I guess. tell that to a drummer ;) he is the reason i started drumming.

[Daven]

Well, it also took me a while until i got into them; but instead of listening Aenima, i listened to Lateralus and after a while i got into them.
