Does anyone else feel the case of "Rotten apples spoiling the basket" in regard to the fans of Slipknot? I do.

The 8 - 12 year old 'Maggots' annoy me, because then lots of people think the band are stupid and childish, which is untrue.

Almost all the songs off first album would be in there (well first album not including mate feed kill repeat). Iowa I thought was a really bad album. The new album has some really interesting riffs. Welcome and the first song (i forget the name) are both really good. Think coreys lyrics have gone down hill a bit for some of the new stuff though.

I like all Slipknot songs..

Yes.

Slipknot has what I like to call "Too many idiot fans Syndrome". They have too many rabid, moronic, fanboyish fans who go around proclaiming them to be the best of the best, and defend them without any logical background...and then people bash the group and fans of the band, even though all fans are not nearly as bad as those fans.

Its a shame really.Slipknot has always had a certain depth to them, but most of their fans cant see it.Which is why Vol.3 wasnt as well recieved as it could have been.

Yeah, the kiddo's just want noise as hard as possible
Iowa was full of that.
Voll 3 is more complicated and better quality.So i like it more.

Vol 3= quality

other slipknot album=noise

Which one?

the self-tittled(altough is one of the most original albums)

So the self tittled is original, but noisy?

I like all of the albums. None of them are just 'noise'.

Please find yourself a tall building to jump out of.

1:you know hard hard it is to cover joey????
2:there is an audio arena for it
3:welcome to the forums :thumb:

I dont think slipknot's songs would sound anywhere as good as original unless you have few drummers, a guitarist, and some crazy vocalist.

I can play a few but have no recording gear.

Joey isn't that hard to cover. Just build some stamina.

Corey is hard to cover.

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha try covering people=[SIZE=2]s[/SIZE]hit,the heretic anthem,(sic), and plenty others!

At my drummers bday party, him and me started playing Duality...
Just a guitar and drums.
Then he stopped halfway through cause he got tired...

I did NOT like Vol. 3...(dont flame me for this) but i think they really sold out on this one. They had a unique sound going for them, and they completely changed it so they could get more fans.

I personally think their S/T one was the best...it was the most original at the time.

Did I miss the interview where they admitted to changing their style because they want more fans? Because as far as we can tell, they could have changed it because they were tired of old stuff. :thumb:

^ oh...it just seemed like that they changed it for more fans.

I dont think the masks really go with the music now though...a guy with a death mask singing to an acoustic song just doesnt feel right :lol:

I think Vol.3 is the best album. Why? It's just a much more altogether balanced effort. If anything I think they have concentrated the sound, not abandoned it.

Well they abandoned the sounds they got out of the first two albums, thats for sure. Vol. 3 was much more laid back than Iowa and less creepy than Slipknot.

Hmm well the profanity isn't there in the new stuff, but it still sounds like Slipknot to me.
