[QUOTE]BTW, Im pretty sure Craig was there during that Vermilion performance, I heard samples of Corey saying "should I do it?" or something like that.Unless Sid was the one doing it since Craig might have been gone by then[/QUOTE]

yea it was sid. i think craig is faking this whole emergency teeth surgery thing. In the Vermillion music video, you cant see his "face" because hes being blocked by someone. And i think this whole surgery thing was just to get him out of playing the TMF awards and being videotaped with their new vermillion masks on. Craig [I]is[/I] the member in the band thats most concerned with keeping his identity unknown. Everybody else dosent really care anymore

No.I seriously doubt he would fake all that crap just to avoid having his face seen.Either way, I doubt the cameras would have even turned to him had he been there.The vocalist tends to get the most camera time during TV appearances.

Faking surgery?

If he really didn't want to be seen, he would've just missed the one show, not a bunch of them. The TMF awards isn't the only show he's missing

Yeah, but if you got to see someone from slipknot would you not remember the face. i would. people even if they saw him for like two seconds would be able to remember his face and then if they saw him. crazy time.

Come on, the dude has had half of his face shown from when he had the diver's helmet. Search on any site, and you can probably find a picture where his eyes and nose are clearly visible.

It's not like he's got much left to hide.

Slipknot... I saw them at the Soma here in San Diego. I like them..which is unusual... since I don't really like it when rap style lyrics are mixed with metal or rock... not my favorite band... but so far the best band I've seen in concert.. so much energy from every member.

[QUOTE=relliK]Just like you were stating your opinion about Shawn, I was stating mine about Kittie.So calling my opinion "bull****" kinda contradicts what you had to say after it.I have the right to disagree right?Which I was, disagreeing.

did I say 'your opinion is bull****?' No, I simply said bull****. Don't put words in my mouth. For your ****ing information I was stating that the whole fact of you telling me to shut up is bull****. Get the facts straight before you say im contradicting jackass.

Slipknot are easily the best band in the world, although Metallica come a close second. They are truly excellent live, anyone at downloaad 2004 should know that. I can agree with what some of you are saying about Vol. 3, but i think its a f***ing great album, not as good as the 1st two granted, but it has some truly excellent songs on it, Before i forget for example. I do like the slower ballad-type songs as it shows that Slipknot are'nt just a band that scream and shout, like so many ignorant people seem to think. Corey has an amazing voice. But nothing comes close to Surfacing or Spit it out, they're CLASSICS. As for the list of top 20 songs............. i cant do it, it all depends on my mood to which tracks i like. Stay SIC maggots :evil:

What about The Carpenters?

[QUOTE=Paranoidd]What about The Carpenters?[/QUOTE]

They suck big time, in fact they BLOW.

Donny Osmond then?

I'm just trying to rationalize your belief that Slipknot & Metallica = the two best bands in the world, because you're either nuts or you've never heard anything else.

mmmmmmmmmmmm NO!

Actually ive heard more than you think, you just happened to pick two that i dont like!
And maybe i am nuts :naughty:

Ahahaha :lol:

Slipknot and Metallica are great, but I can name a vast number of bands better than them.

Parannoid, I wouldn't bother arguing with this guy.

I'm not, that's why I stopped.

I didn't want to have to explain that "I like Slipknot, I like Metallica, I can just name off better bands faster than a jackrabbit fvcks."

It's obvious my careful and well-thought arguments would go to waste.

[QUOTE=The JoZ]Ahahaha :lol:

Who would you say are better? I also like Damageplan (although Pantera was better), Machinehead, KMFDM, CoF

Damageplan isn't better than anybody. I'd rather saw off my ears with a rusty knife then be subjected to that crap.

Machinehead is OK, Burn My Eyes is a specifically good record. When they aren't reverting to some odd melodic nu-metal crap, they put out good records. If they had a more consistent career, they'd be alot higher up in my books.

I only like damageplan because they put on a great show at Download and that they covered Walk.

Burn my eyes rules, although i do like burning red

My List
 

I gota agree with this guy..i used to listen to Slipknot all the time..they were my favorite band..and i still really do enjoy them..but i really think the new cd is a total disappointment..i mean its badass they started doing solos and such..but just everything else was so different compared to Iowa and Selftitled..i think another reason i really didnt like the new cd..is it seemed like through a lot of the songs..they dropped the rest of the band..besides joey..mick..james..corey..and paul..and that really pissed me off..cuz that creativeness of all 9 members was awesome
My list would go
Surfacing
Spit It Out
Wait And Bleed
Liberate
Prosthetics
No Life
Only One
Scissors
Iowa
Left Behind
Heretics Anthem
Everything Ends
People = ****
Gently
My Plague
Metabolic
Duality
Vermillion Part 2
Pulse Of The Maggots
Blister Exists

[QUOTE=6(sic)6 blissed out hippy]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".[/QUOTE]

Whatever, I'm not in the mood to sit here and drill your choice of music, I'm only trying to drill the point home that Slipknot aint the best band in the world, not even close.

Thats youre opinion and ive no prob with that, just so u know that they're my fave. :thumb:

What world are you living in?

Volume 3 features all 9 members much better than S/T or Iowa ever did.

The Blister Exists, Duality, Vermilion, POTM, The Nameless, in particular, all have 9 different parts going on. You can actually hear Craig, or Sid, or the percussion, or even Paul.

S/T and Iowa saw them totally underuse 9 members. Craig or Sid would do virtually nothing, except every now and then, and Shawn and Chris did little except headbang and fight with each other. Volume 3 shows them throwing their weight around in many better ways, with odd synth lines, thumping percussion, and if you listen closely, even Sid is getting in on the action.

Go listen to it again.

I agree

In case anyone is wondering what Paul Gray (Slipknot's bass player) looks like:

[url]http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/paulgray1.html[/url]

wow i never would have thought he looks like that... thank god they wear masks

I have pictures of all of them unmasked, actually...well, all except Craig, it is impossible to find a picture of that man unmasked.

They all look nothing like I had pictured, to say the least.

I think it's kind of cool. "Occupation - Band Member" "Hours - Various" "Self Employed"
...not cool that he got arrested, but to be able to write that kind of stuff and not be full of it. :lol:

everyone in this thread knows so much about slipknot. i like them, but not a great fan.

Whoa, i didn't expect him to look like that either. :amaze:

You know it's weird, most people don't know what most of the members of Slipknot actually look like underneathe their masks, so it's possible that you may have passed them on the street and not even realized it...crazy

That picture was taken right after he got arrested.You can tell he is so **** high or drunk or whatever he was.Heres another one:

Best 20 songs?[/QUOTE]

i stumbled across this site once, that had pretty much all ofthem without masks, it was wierd...but yeah you're right, you couldve passed them on the street, they look fairly unremarkable without masks

I saw Slipknot last week ... and I GOT JOEY JORDISON'S DRUM STICK!!!!
