i know. i'm only 15, and not loaded, so i don't really see many concert. i have to resort to downloading clips of them. in my opinion, they're like lunatics lol. they're awesome in almost everyway. there is one thing they could do, however, which is turn up the bass a bit. gives yo a good solid rythm to head-bang to lol.

[QUOTE=Jimmypageguitarhero]Just Consider this, I feel, altough you may disagree with me, that Corey screaming ruins a lot of the music, Now I posted about the album IOWA a few pages back, and I still think that Slipknot's music would be better if Corey sang, instead of screamed. :thumb:[/QUOTE]

I kinda agree. I think on the newest album he has a perfect blend of clean and scream goin on. If you like his cleans, check out stonesour, my other favorite band :D

Hey people, im not a big Slipknot listener by any means, i have seen them live though and they put on one hell of a show. I wanted to ask people with much more opinion on the matter than myself, how do you guys feel about Slipknots new material, because i listened to a couple of their new tracks 'duality' and 'before i forget' and althought i don't really mind them, it just seems very different from their earlier stuff, theres more melody, yet... less depth, what do you think ?

You're right. Much different. This album they incorporated more technicality into what was before pretty simple aggressive music, along with some melody.

Yeah Vol3 isn't bad. I like how they're trying new stuff (acoustic work, soloing). I don't like their older stuff, its too bland. To me its basically just bland nu-metal material, but in subliminal you can hear that they're progressing, and who knows, in 4 or 5 years, they might have a completely new sound.

Thanks guys good to see i wasn't completely off the mark :chug: Have to say i like their new stuff, the lyrics in Vol3 make me question why i hear so many people lable them as death metal, when they're blatantly agressive nu-metal. Peace

Probably becuase most people haven't heard death metal. They assume anything with heavyness and gritty vocals is death metal. I doubt any of them can name many actual death metal bands at all.

Those people don't know any better. Also, the use of the word agressive is not needed, as metal is generally deemed to be an agressive style of music.

EDIT: Late, but I was writing up something I then decided not to post.

slipknots cool but i only like about 10 of ther songs

Has anyone heard that rumor about Slipknot breaking up after touring?

Like 300,000,000 times.

I'm not sure where they would get that from though.

Could be he doesn't like the fact that Paul isn't...hmm...audible?

I dunno if anyone knows, but here's a good Slipknot (and nu-metal, for that matter...) site.

[url]http://www.metabolic666.com[/url] is another good site.

I used to go to Black Goat fansite, that was a really good one.

It was meh. I liked Duality, Before I Forget (the song, I hated the video), The Blister Exists, and Three Nil, but I seriously disliked Cirlce, Vermillion, and Virmillion Part Two.

another good site is... [url]www.mfkr1.com[/url]...

great forum on there...

In the Blister Exists and a couple of other songs show that Mick isn't bad at guitar. Also in Total Guitar they have done a lot of great shredding and playing exercises so my question is: if they have so much talent why the hell don't they ever do any technical playing at all? (I haven't heard Subliminal Verses fully though and I hear they do some sweep picking and other things in that?)

This is true. They def have chops,they just choose to not use them as they don't more times then not fit into the music. To really hear them shred listen to MFKR.

Mick and Jim are not on MFKR.

^ right...they had donnie and josh on guitar...

YEAH, slipknots starting the Final Chapter tour in november, i'm not sure, i'll check it for ya's. pity they aren't coming to aus, oh well, next album lol.

The slipknot drummer is pretty awesome. hes got some great chops, especially with the double bass drum (its a pity he can only do single strokes though, RLRLRLRL). The guitarists are pretty awesome too (im not a guitarist but they sound great). Overall i reckon slipknot are a great band.
