oh it's good.
it's GOOOOD.

I just thought of something, graphics don't make sounds, do they?

[QUOTE=Drunken Viking]I just thought of something, graphics don't make sounds, do they?[/QUOTE]
Nope. But if I had to compare it to one thing, that's what it would sound like.

Ahh I see, I can't really hear his bass most of the time though.

Anyone else think it's odd we're talking about computers and John Myung in a Slipknot thread?

yea let's take it to the DT thread.

[quote=Drunken Viking]I don't think there is a number nine in the group, I think the numbers stop at 8[/quote]

I realize your all for Slipknot here, but I need to make a correction xD

The numbers do only reach 8, but they start at 0, to there [I]is[/I] 9 of them =P

-----------------

Anyway, Slipknot was the band that got me into metal. they were all I listened to for ages, just because I loved them so much. They are still my number 1 band, but I listen to other stuff now as well. Any sub-genre of metal is fine with me.

And I love Coreys voice. Amazing singing and screaming on his part.

It seems to me that all anyone can think of to knock Slipknot is that they wear masks (as if that effects what they sound like), they are talentless (talentless people would't be able to get a record deal) or that they aren't technical (so go listen to your technical music if thats all you want to listen to - Slipknot could be technical if they wanted to, but they don't want to make technical music)

They make music that appeals to some, and not to others.


Slipknot - Either loved or hated, but never ignored.

I know that, I was just trying to be funney, didn't work out to well. Sarcasm doesn't translate to well into print ::rolleyes:

I think bands like slipknot add a severely needed dose of creativity to the stagnant realm of metal....I try to appreciate bands being different...not this same ol' prepackaged "normal" metal fluff....Slipknot, rock on!

ATTENTION ALL SLIPKNOT F A G G O T S

Slipknot... What a horrible horrible band. I mean not just from the standpoint that they suck balls musically but the fact that with each new album they get ****tier. Let me Explain:

Ok first off, there are 9 people in the band. Who the **** ever herd of 9 people in a ****ing band? Two drummers? and one who just bangs his head around for most of the time? Nobody is even a worthy musician I think they go by the "If we play loud and scream alot people wont realize we all suck" stance.

They have made three albums and havent advanced musically in any of them. They have still stayed the same screaming, ****ty band they have always been. The only thing close to musical talent in that band is the lead guitarist but still, any real metal guitarist could easily play any of there songs.

Second they are not respected by any of the metal community. I believe they have been around since the early 90's and there has never been a tribute or any one saying "I was really influenced by Slipknot" just a bunch of F A G G O T Nu Metal kids saying how metal they are. THEY ARE NOT ****ING METAL. They are complete ****. But since I am a nice person I will leave you with some examples of good solid metal:

Burzum- Burzum/Aske (EP)
Mayhem- Deathcrush
DarkThrone- A blaze in the Northern Sky
Bathory- Under the Sign of the Black Mark
Abigor- Supreme Immortal Art
Graveland-Celtic Winter

Enjoy.

christ. No one cares about your black metal bands anyway. Stop listening to music because you think it's "cool" or "hardcore", listen to what you like. There is merit to Slipknot, strange but true. They aren't revolutionary or highly respectable; far from it. They just write decent songs here and there and there is no reason to toss that aside because the "metal community" disrespects them.

Anyway, does anyone still want to hear the re-tooling of Vermillion 2 on the underworld OST? I'll upload it again if anyone wants. It's consistently always been on my playlist for the past few weeks, it's just one hell of an improvement over the original. The instrumentals and loud/soft dynamics are, well, epic.

I find humorous that Slipknot haters always attempt to 'educate' us on 'real' metal bands. Why the [I]f[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]ck[/I] do you assume we don't already listen to those bands? I, and i'm sure I speak for many other Slipknot fans, love Burzum, Mayhem and Bathory.

If you dislike Slipknot gtfo of the thread. Pretty simple, huh?

Nice work Josh :lol:
Although, you forgot to point out to this douche, that Slipknot has made 5 albums, not 3. Maybe he should get his basic facts right before stating his unwelcome opinion. Also, maybe he should get a life, instead of pissing people off by insulting bands people like. And he should also get his head out of his arse.

Corey doesn't always scream. He does actually have a nice singing voice. Not perfect, but effective.

I know of mate feed kill repeat, S/T, Iowa and Vol 3, but what is the fifth?

I don't listen to slipknot very often anymore, but, like a lot of posters here, Slipknot got me into 'heavier','extremer' music, and that is IMO the main reason why bands like slipknot should exist; without gateway-bands Metal can be a bit inaccessible, I think.

9.0: Live was released not long ago.

I don't listen to Slipknot much either, these days. :-\

[QUOTE=Huber]
Calling the masks a gimmick is a little unfair. You do not know whether they put them on in the first place to gain more fans or not. But I bet I do that they were thinking it'd be more entertaining, and make things a little different then a bunch of normal looking metal heads headbanging like almost any other metal band.QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure they put the masks on to copy off of Mushroomheads idea. Alot of the masks were even similar to Mushroomheads masks when they first started.

Everyone like you should die. I own everyone of those albums except the Graveland one. Don't act like your something special because you don't like Slipknot.

Oh but he is, he is the first guy I've ever heard say he disliked Slipknot and started to bash them because they have 9 people and scream, his dick must be like massive or something.

You know, I don't like Sipknot myself, but that was just dumb. Music is subjective, it's opinion. There is no "good" or "bad" music. I don't see why having alot of people in band is a bad thing, in fact, it seems a good way to make new interesting sounds. Also, about not being respected in the metal community, who cares? Nobody should listen to music just because other people do. Please grow up.

Joey Jordison is a bad drummer.

[QUOTE=Banshee]Joey Jordison is a bad drummer.[/QUOTE]


False.

He is talented. If you deny that then you are just blindly saying so because you're scared your cool points will go down. He's definetly outdone by other drumming giants these days, but that doesn't mean he is bad.

Just because he isn't the best drummer in the world doesn't make him bad, I think he is an excellent drummer, but I just like his style.

Haha great work Josh. You show those noobs.

It was quite obvious from his post that Dethroned-Emperror88 is a retard there was no need to reply to his posts anyways. Fools like him should be ignored.

No,they´re not. They´re crossover. Apart from that,yeah, I actually enjoy some Slipknot and don´t really feel the need to prove the same FACT over and over again.

Overall, nice job on flaming that poser, but you fücked it up bigtime when you posted the above.

I only recently (in fact, earlier this week) heard Slipknot's music for the first time. Even though their detuned guitar riffs and double bass drumming are a clichè that my bassist and I enjoy laughing at (along with other clichès from every other genre), I actually enjoyed their music after listening to it. They really do have talent and are better than many modern semi-mainstream metal/heavy bands.

Anyway, so, random Slipknot basher dude, I'm surprised at how you can tune Slipknot like that, and then in the same breath tell us how awesomely talented a bunch of LotR fanboys in black spandex playing Celtic music on axe-shaped plastic guitars are, when they sing of the Dragonlord Rognar and his fearsome army of half-trolls. Grow up.

Quorthon was a million times more talented than ANY member of Slipknot. It´s not only technical skill I´m talking about here, but compositional. As for Varg, he was insane, but in his twisted psyche lies an amazing artist.

Hmmm, Darkthrone, Mayhem and Graveland: Yeah, they suck [b]now[/b] but back in the day they ruled supreme. Too bad they didn´t keep up to quality and are now releasing either mediocre or just plain shítty records.

Thing is: Don´t bash my music, random black-metal-bashing imbecile and I´ll refrain from bashing yours.
(you know that it WAS extremely stupid posting something like that right after I did,right?Cause I´m bound to look in and see how me compadre Kingjay replied...)

[QUOTE=Ve Das]Thing is: Don´t bash my music, random black-metal-bashing imbecile and I´ll refrain from bashing yours.[/QUOTE]
I was making a point, ie you can bash any genre of music because every genre of music contains stupid clichès, sell-outs who become famous, and wannabes. I don't [I]really[/I] have anything against black metal (or whatever it is, I admit I don't know), I was just having a go at Dethroned-Emperror88 with all his Slipknot-bashing.

I don't even like Slipknot that much, they're just more interesting than Dope or Deftones (to me).

EDIT: "Random Slipknot basher dude" refers to Dethroned-Emperror88, not you.

I know, but you could´ve edited out the Bathory. Let the dead be dead.

I don't even know any of those bands, I was just taking a stab in the dark. No hard feelings, k? :thumb:

K. Quick tip: NEVER slam LotR, it makes you look really bad, especially if there´s an english teacher/major reading the thread who might decide to call you on it...

Use D&D instead ;-)

The thing about slipknot for me is; their music isnt exactly bad, its just forgettable. ill listen to them for a day or two, and not care to listen to their music again for two or three months. Point aside, the b-side "get this" is amazing, and I add it to a lot of loud mix cd's I make.

First of all, I own or have listened to all of those albums, and they are not that great. I've actually heard quite a few bands say Slipknot influenced them, so get your facts straight.
Also, if you want to get technical, they have produced five albums(one un-released, so even saying four would be semi-accurate)
Thirdly, Slipknot is one of the biggest bands out there right now. No, not always the most popular, but definitely one of the biggest.
Also, how can you say that they aren't respected by the metal community? Please, I beg of you, tell me how you can say this?
Also, there is MUCH musical talent in that band. While not the greatest, Mick is one good guitarist, Corey is GREAT with both his screaming AND singing, Sid does great with the backup effects, and Joey Jordison is an incredible drummer.

So, you wanna talk about faggots? Why don't you try looking back through this thread a bit and realize that you sound just like any other moron who comes in here bashing Slipknot, and you fail at trying to make it look like you have a decent reason to say they suck.

Have you seen his drum solo? Where he cant keep time and keeps messing up? LOL, ya man he's really good. Slipknot on the self titled Cd was very unique, I expected great things from them, and then they release 2 more cd's that mostly sound the same imo, And on SV they add like 2 guitar solo's in that seem forced, like they had to prove to people that they can actually do it which seems kinda sad if it is true.

So anyone see Slipknot at the Grammies (apologies if this has been mentioned already)?

The guys looked pretty funny.

no! i wanted to see them the first year i odnt watch,they win i was so mad at myself, i wish i couldve seen it :-(

I think that Vol. 3 and Iowa are very different but that's just me, and the solo's don't sound forced, they had been trying to put them in since the beginning but their producer didn't like guitar solo's.

I reckon everyone bashes Slipknot because they think they are too "mainstream" and don't even bother listening to the music.

Has anyone heard the original band named Slipknot? They were a hardcore band back in the mid to late 80s. Not too bad stuff.
