[QUOTE=Kage]"Those two guys" are percussionists. They actually greatly contribute to the percussive sound of the band, which is prominent and very definitive in their sound. While the drummer does the fast blast-beat and cymbol-crashing stuff, the two percussionists add a very rhythymic aspect to it, correlating with the bass for that heavy thunderous percussive force that locks in with the guitars. So, obviously, they are not just "doing nothing"[/QUOTE]


K thanks I just have seen pics of them live and they are just sorta standing on stage so I didnt really know what to think.

1. Purity
2. Gently
3. Spit it out
4. Diluted
5. Vermillion

anyway, I think in a global point of view the 3rd cd is as good as the s/t. the worst full lenght album is iowa.
I kind of got sick of hearing "F*CK IT ALL F*CK THIS WORLD" over and over again...its cool too have one or two songs like that but not 54059 cds with just that...its plain stupid, im glad they have realized that in time, and made an exelent cd.

worst slipknot songs.

1.my plague
2.pulse of the maggots
3.left behind
4.surfacing

The Blister Exists,Three Nil, Welcome, and Opium of the People have the same amount of anger as anything before but in a much more grown up manner.Vermilion pt.1 and 2, The Nameless(which is actually Purity pt.2), and the Virus of Life have the same themes that Prosthetics, Purity, Iowa, and Everything Ends.They are songs about psychotic obsession delivered in a much more dignified manner.Their lyrics are still as dark as they have been.Vermilion pt.2 is a dichotamy of brutal and beautiful.On one side its a beautiful acoustic song that comes across as a ballad, but on the other its a dark song about wanting to kill someone your obsessed with.Thats what makes this album pretty cool.That kind of stuff is all over the album.My rant is done.

I like them because of their music, all of it.

whats up with craig? i heard he isnt performing in thier next few concerts or something.

No, I saw them on Friday and Craig wasn't there.

Corey said he was having surgery.

Has anyone does a cover of this song?
I'd be intrested in hearing it. But Not ones with vocals, cause lets face it, coreys vocals rule over that ****, no one could do justise and it would be ruined..
Just an instrumental version of it all instruments drums guitar, etc. That would be killer.

Its just a rock out beat everyone you see type of song.

^ what song??

^^ sic

errr, im a dumbass, i got all confused cause i didn't know there was an offical slipknot thread, and was told to post in here...sorry

Anyways, my above post is referring to the song ,(sic), instrumental cover song, no vocals.

[QUOTE=The JoZ]Yeah, so I've heard.

I've never heard Purity, so I can't tell.

But I like his work on "The Nameless" alot...and the intro to "Eyeless" is pretty cool.[/QUOTE]

im pretty sure thats guitar

The intro to Eyeless is Sid.

First off, the intro to "Eeyore" is guitar. The intro to "Eyeless", which is a different song, is most definetly Sid.

Secondly, Craig had to go back to Iowa for "emergency dental surgery". Jim was quoted as saying that Craig could not eat or sleep right, and was completely miserable, so he saw a doctor, and they said he needed to come back to the states.

Sid is handling all or most of Craig's parts until he comes back.

Yeah.I find it funny how he went all the way to the US for dental surgery.No offense to Europeans or anything, but some of you got some bad teeth.

Well, that's probably not why he came back.

He probably came back cause he has an established physician, and felt more comfortable here. If you needed some sort of surgery, you'd want to do it as close to home as was possible too...or at least in your home country.

where can i get purity?

SLIPKNOT RULES!!!!!!

Well actually it was because he was told he needed surgery when he had it checked out in Europe.He came back to the States hoping to get better news.He got the same thing tho.

It would suck when he came back he thought that the band didn't need him since Sid could cover for him and left. But thats all out of proportion.

Be that as it may, the whole comfort level thing probably had some factor in it as well.

[quote]It would suck when he came back he thought that the band didn't need him since Sid could cover for him and left. But thats all out of proportion.[/quote]

The band, Jim specifically, have talked about how much they miss Craig already, so I don't think he's getting the boot anytime soon.

They have said that once 1 member leaves, Slipknot is over.Anyway, have any of you heard about Joey playing with Satyricon on their upcoming US tour?Apparently their drummer couldnt get into the US.

[QUOTE=relliK]They have said that once 1 member leaves, Slipknot is over.Anyway, have any of you heard about Joey playing with Satyricon on their upcoming US tour?Apparently their drummer couldnt get into the US.[/QUOTE]

I've never heard that...I did hear that "When the masks come off, it won't be Slipknot anymore"...I've never heard abything about them breaking up if one member leaves.

Yes, I've seen the articles about Joey playing with Satyricon...I'm not really into black metal much, but that sounds pretty cool for Joey. I feel bad for Satyricon's drummer though :lol:

Sorry to double post...sorta...

Does anyone here have the video from when Slipknot played on Leno? I have seen it, but now I want to download it, and no one seems to have it...

AIM = Valor JoZ
MSN = [email]x_thejoz_x@hotmail.com[/email] , if anyone has it and is willing to send it to me.

Personaly I don't like Slipknot's early stuff because i think it is just a guy screaming into a mike, a drummer hitting anything he wants and guitarists who have disrortion up so high i can't tell when the notes or chords change. Though saying that Slipknot (in my opinion) have matured and improved greatly by calming down and putting the distortion down and showing that they are actually good musicians that are capable of making good songs. So all in all I think that they are showing they are a good band and because of this I'm thinking about getting their newest CD and other people will think the same way as me.

i like slipknot. they are good for when i just want to listen to heavy stuff.

Have you heard MFKR?

[QUOTE=relliK]They have said that once 1 member leaves, Slipknot is over.QUOTE]

i don't think that a member leaving will kill them, look at the Red Hot Chili Peppers, they've had more line up changes than I remember!

[QUOTE=relliK]Yeah.I find it funny how he went all the way to the US for dental surgery.No offense to Europeans or anything, but some of you got some bad teeth.[/QUOTE]

Just so you know, the best dental practise in the world in Europe, and America is the country with the largest percentage of obesity and have a higher chance of dental problems than all the developed countries in Europe.

:D

I never heard anything about them breaking up, but i did hear that wen they unmask themselves, they wont be called slipknot anymore.

Bump...still looking for the video

any1 heard anything about when the video for Vermillion Part 2 is coming out??
