[QUOTE=The JoZ]Bump, because the other official threads are on page one, and this is on page 12.

What Shawn says makes sense, but, it's real easy to get the wrong impression about someone based on what you see. When all I ever saw was him and Chris sitting on their drums, and/or headbanging on them...I assume they are worthless members. Having seen them live, I realize that they do more playing than I first thought. Honestly, they should just be the 'power' drummers. It would get real confusing to have too much going on...

Anyway, I think Vermilion is quite honestly their best song, hands down. It has a huge, epic feel to it, and it is heavily growing on me. I'd love to see them do more stuff like that...and Vol. 3 in general...

Now, if only someone would remind Paul that he's got 5 strings on that bass, not just 2, we'd be ok :p[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I like the stuff they did on The Virus of Life, with the kegs and the congas.And the xylophone at the end of Vermilion.More stuff like that would be good.But yeah, Vermilion has a great epic feel to it.The solo adds on to it.It sucks that it was cut in half on the Resident Evil sountrack and possibly the single too.Anyway, Im really looking forward to the full version of Danger-Keep Away.The version on the album ends too abruptly.

...I have never heard any Xylophone sound like the sound heard at the end of Vermilion.

I personally think it was created on a keyboard...sounds like the Crystal effect to me. Or possibly some other percussion instrument...but not a xylophone.

I guess I dont really know what a xylophone sounds like.I remember Joey mentioning the use of one and I just assumed that was it.

I was listening to their first (and best album) today. Love that bassline on Do Nothing/Bitchslap (even though it's not too complex).

I thought that he played a 4 string Warwick Corvette tuned B F# B E :confused:


"I was listening to their first (and best album) today. Love that bassline on Do Nothing/Bitchslap (even though it's not too complex)."

Sometimes simple basslines sound the best. Paul isn't the best bass player in the world but he does play some good ****.

Watch the Duality video. He plays a 5 string Warwick now.

He still has the four...he used it at least once during their show here...

And honestly, I can't stand alot of his basslines, they are too easy. But I've never heard the Do Nothing bassline, which alot of people says is the best when it comes to Slipknot bass...

Yeah, his basslines are too easy. I figured out "Duality" on my own the first time I tried playing it, along with most of the other songs. But in the performance on Jay Leno he was still using the four, but I think I remember seeing him is a Bass Guitar mag with a 5. I'm suprised he's playing a Warwick. You'd think he'd play a B.C. Rich, ESP or Ibanez, you know steriotypical guitar/bass companies for the genre, but I do like the sound he gets from his Warwick.

oooh yeah... Do Nothing/Bitchslap has a badas.s bass line... and his bass lines may be easy but they fit the music and have a nice rhythm for the songs without being flashy.

You don't happen to have that video do you?

I give him credit for keeping up with Mick and Jim, but his lines are generally not that spectacular...

Actually I do have the video. Yeah, he does hold the bottom end pretty good. The simple basslines just make it easier to go crazy on and to add your own variations if you want to make it flashy.

[QUOTE=feedthegods666]to drummachine

honestly, anyone who says Mick is a good guitarist is a complete idiot. i can play pretty much every slipknot song, except for Dont get close and Eeyore. Mick cant play guitar for sh1t. they arent original or anything. i realize this, theyre still my fave band tho[/QUOTE]

Calm down man, it was just an opinion. Yeah his guitar parts aren't very difficult, but it fits the music. Same with, like we said, the bass parts. Not difficult but it fits the music. I mean can you picture Slipknot doing Eddie Van Halen or Kirk Hammet style guitar solos?

of course i can. :rolleyes:

My point exactly.

[QUOTE=The JoZ]And you're the kind of poster we hate.

You type like a 12 year old AOL'er, and then you come into a band's official thread and put someone down for liking said band.

In the future, don't do stupid things that will annoy every sane person here. :thumb:[/QUOTE]

maggots=faggots dude the guy has a point his music failed to impress me or anything the only reason i like slipknot is cuz of their drumming besides that they blow

Mind sending it to me? :D

And you other idiots, STFU.

try to appreciate him Feedthegods666! bash him just to be an A$$. he is a good guitarist.

don't bash*

Well, James Murphy wouldnt have asked Mick and Paul to be on the Death tribute album had he not believed they were good enough.A few weeks ago he posted on blabbermouth because people were whining about Mick and Paul being on there.He said that Mick is a better guitarist than MANY well known death metal guitarists.So I dont know.Kerry King says Mick can shred.The video of him on the Line 6 website displayed more of his talent than he demonstrates in Slipknot.But anyway, have any of you heard Anal Blasts "Vaginal Vempire"?Is it any good?Because Paul and Joey wrote every song on it.Just wondering.

Come to think of it.That bassline during the break in Surfacing is pretty badass.

I read that his true talent is shown in MFKR.

Does anyone know why Paul uses a Four String Live and a five string for like,Photo shoots.

[QUOTE=Bass+Fingers+Amp=Groove]quoted for supreme trueth, any band whos fan base is composed of angst depressed 15 year old boys and highschool goths doesnt deserve any respect.[/QUOTE]


dude says hes a drummer.. and sees nothing special about joey.. you must be 1 hell of a drummer. to compare your self to joey hes got drum roll after drum roll and they r so insane its not funny. my bro plays drums and he is dame good but joey makes him look like a joke.. probably makes you look like 1 2... i play guitar and i ad mit mick has nothing nor jim root they just happen to bring some goot guitar effects and rythm to the bands corey is probably the best singer in my opinion hes got the perfect screaming voice and singing voide along with deron miller from cky... but your an idiot is basiclly what im sayin.

poop

[QUOTE=Guitar_From_HELL]don't bash*[/QUOTE]
im not bashing and i dont think he's a good guitarist im just sayin they have one of the best drummers around now :thumb:

Personally i think Pulse of the Maggots is one of the best, that song gets me pumped like no other. But Wait and Bleed is awsome too. (Slipknot Kicks *** :evil: )

[QUOTE=paper2302]Does anyone know why Paul uses a Four String Live and a five string for like,Photo shoots.[/QUOTE]

This is a good question...

He plays the 5 in the Duality video...but every other shot of him I've seen is with the 4...

The one picture of him from when they played live here is of him with the 4...
