its good to see the retards still manage to be coming in and saying "sl1pkn0t eez sh!t L0L" on page 91 for ****s sake
its a slipknot thread if you don't like it leave if your still at it on page 91 your being to persistant and need to seek help because your burning up with too much hate.
Do you really think Slipknot FANS really care why you don't like Slipknot?

Deathcrush says he doesnt like Slipknot and explains why.I see nothing wrong with that.

I think Slipknot are mediocre. I do like Jim Root though, Mick Thompson always came off as a prick.

Responding to your last question, yes, most Slipknot fans do. This is probably because most Slipknot fans are 12 and want people to listen to them and worship them like they do. If people disagree with them, then they get all pissed and ask why they feel that way.

Many people in general diss Slipknot just to get a reaction from maggots.

They claim not to care, but most of them do.Often times they can't understand why, because to them Slipknot is truely amazing.The fact that some people disagree is unimaginable to them.I was like that at 1 point.

Alright, before I even start to create a post here, lemme make one thing clear: I am not here to irritate maggots, simply to start an intelligent debate with reasons behind claims. Please don't label me as one who just pisses on maggots for fun.

Also, please no "slipnot is awsome!" or "slipknot sucks!" posts. Thanks.

Now, to start this logical and mature "debate", let me start by asking what all the fuss is about with Slipknot? I've listened to at least 2 songs on every album the guys have released, and, while I find songs on one album radically different than the other, I found that I have enjoyed none of them.

Slipknot just seems like a "stuck in the middle" band for me. Not heavy enough for death...not fast enough for thrash or power...not impressive enough guitar work for even metalcore...they just seem, IMO, to fall short of every possible subcategory of metal. Then what are they? Hard Rock? Or something new altogether?

However, I must give Slipknot props for their My Plague music video. The secondary percussionists down on all fours on top of their drums headbanging was thoroughly enjoyable to watch. I did not, however, find the song to be anything special.

Then what, is it, that has garnered the Knot such fame? The crazy costumes? I think not. Plenty of no-name bands over the years have done everything from crazy hair to crazy looks.

Now, a counter-opinion, please? I really am curious to what peope see in this band that I have obviously missed. What have the maggots seen that has passed my eyes and ears by? Or are the maggots really the ones missing the point? Please, intelligent responses only. I'm not trying to flame Slipknot.

To answer your question at the end, many people like me happen to enjoy their music, I don't think that a band has to be defined in a category to be good. I like Slipknot's guitar, drums, bass, and percussionists, just because they don't define metalcore, death metal, grindcore or whatever doesn't matter to me, what does matter is that I like them, you don't have to but don't come in here asking why people like a certain band, I'm sure that some of your favorite bands don't define metalcore, death meat, or grindcore, why should Slipknot fans be any different from yourself.

Slipknot are nu-metal, but I hate people who say that all nu-metal is garbage. I like slipknot and soad alot, and they're imo one of the good nu metal bands.

Slipknot's guitaring is not that great, bass is pretty bad too, vocals are ok, and drumming is above average imo. Of course I mean Joey's Drumming, not those other guys who just add more drums.

[QUOTE=Deathcrush][B]and even admit that they sold out[/B][/QUOTE]

Source, please.

It's hard to sell out when you were already selling. They made some money, why should we care?

Okay, let's start tallying for the "what's so good about Slipknot?" count.

Slipknot just appealed to some people and don't appeal to others.

Amazing with how many times I said in my original post "'I'm not trying to flame Slipknot", one way or another, I am treated as such. Oh well.

I also did not mean to say that a band has to fit into a certain subcategory of the metal genre to be good. I thoroughly enjoy bands like Devildriver and Chimaira who can really only be classified as "Metal", and not much else.

The reason why I posted here is because I was wondering, since they made such a big friggen bang, if I overlooked something in them that has been caught by so many other people. I am personally unopinionated about Slipknot. I don't hate them, but I don't worship them, or even like them.

And, while not even in response to the topic I was aiming for, selling out does not, to me, decrease the quality of a band's music unless they choose to give in to the pressures thrown at them by their labels. I am alsoa firm disbeliever in people who now hate Metallica albums, like Kill 'Em All and Master of Puppets, just because they didn't like more modern releases by the band.

If anyone has an answer other than "some people like 'em some don't", please make yourself known here. If not, just ignore this post. I was just wondering if there was something special in this band that simply passed me by. In magazines where I used to see bands like Meshuggah on the cover, I now see only the masked men that make up the Knot. Whadd I miss?

I'm late on this because this is my first time in this thread in awhile....but I am a Slipknot fan and I actually would like to hear why the people who don't like Slipknot feel that way.

whooo slipknot is going on tour!!! who's going to go see them!?! i already have my tickets!!! if your 555 then I'm!

well my theory on people don't like Slipknot(well of the hardcore(as in the adjective) metal comunity) is that they are a heavy band, which is undeniable, and are relativly mainstream
it suprised me something so radio unfriendly got so big
there all most like mainstream death metal which kind of isnt the point so thats why the DM BM TM and so on fans hate them
im gonna get verbally assulted now but i think its because im right...........

I've been a Slipknot fans for years, and i've heard all the lame reasons why people don't like them. Such as:

Growling Vocals
Masks
3 Drummers?
They say fu[b]c[/b]k every setence
Sold Out

The list goes on, I think many people don't like them because of there major popularity with younger kids. Most younger kids that listen to them are "goth" or present that image to the public. And people try to stray away from that, resulting in bashing this band.

i agree, i usually say 2 folk, do u like slipknot. and they say, no all they ever do is shout, and im like, not as much anymore, you would no if you heard subliminal verses

ahhh, look at the guitar, cherish it!
