i think i will. Im open-minded enough to try any new type of music and then express my opinion about it

[QUOTE=korn-head]Well Slipknot sure as hell dont suck, so i guess you wrong on that one. Joey is fukin awesome one the drums and i challenge those who disagree to try and learn disasterpiece. Slipknot fukin rule period.[/QUOTE]

^^^^i agree Yeah don't come to the slipknot thread just to flame the band or people.

slipknot sux

[QUOTE=Seahawk]^^^^i agree Yeah don't come to the slipknot thread just to flame the band or people.[/QUOTE]

I agree. You know it is funny. Probaly the major who flames have either only listened to one song of theirs or they care too much about image.

[QUOTE=led_zep_luvr]slipknot sux[/QUOTE]

How do you know? Have you met them? Have you been to a Slipknot concert? Have you even listened to en entire CD of theirs? One sond, even?

Or are just another band-bashing fool who feels a little better about himself every time he puts someone or something down?

If you have no actual evidence or reasons "Slipknot sucks" then keep your ignorant comments to yourself.

[QUOTE=led_zep_luvr]slipknot sux[/QUOTE]
I second his opionion. Their music takes no skill except in drumming. Plus, they're not metal. They're not even listed on [url]www.metal-archives.com[/url], and they have TONS of bands.

i have never really listened to them but i herd they have like 9 ppl in the band and that they have 2 drummers is that true

Oh that Phil,always talking ****.Way to live up to that name!!:thumb:

I like Slipknot. I was never really a big fan, and to this day I'm not a "maggot". I've never heard their real early stuff but I've heard a little of Iowa and Vol. 3. I like Vol. 3's stuff the best though. Like my bands guitarist, I don't like super dry, gravelly voice metal bands, they dont appeal to me...but I liked the more melodic/musical aspect of Vol. 3. Opium Of The People is my favorite song on the album, with Duality comming in at a close second. Myself being a drummer, of course im gonna like Slipknot. Joey's not the best metal drummer I've heard, but his style is completely differen't from anyone else's. Oh, and to anyone that has seen Slipknot live...you lucky bastard. I seen a video of them playing Duality on the Jay Leno show...****, that would have kicked *** to be there. They have such amazing stage presence, but I laughed at the percussionists alittle...

I hate people...people hate me. but I hate dumb people. like the ones that bash a band in a post that aren't supposed to. it said at th beginning, don't talk **** about slipknot. people do. therefore this threat turned out like every other one!

Vermillion is the song being used in the new movie Resident Evil: Apocalypse

Well anyway, a few posts up we were talking about the percussionists not doing enough.I found an interview where Shawn talked about that.

Shawn:"What goes on is this. The main drummer, Joey, is an amazing drummer. He's got all that double bass **** going on. What we learned was that, in the early days when we were recording, Joey and I learned that we can step on each other. I can muddy up his parts. Really, he's the drummer, I'm only extra. We have to be very careful what the two extra drummers play because it will sound muddy and the average listener will think there are mistakes being played. There won't be mistakes, but they're so many layers of some of the same things being done. It's been a lot of work. Here's the steps we did. We decided to cut it, down to bare bones. Chris and I, who are the other percussionists, we play straight on power. No lap percussion, and nothing too technical. Just boom, boom, boom. We got that beat in there, we keep it real. That's just us hitting the ****ing drums as hard as we can. That's one step."

Bump, because the other official threads are on page one, and this is on page 12.

What Shawn says makes sense, but, it's real easy to get the wrong impression about someone based on what you see. When all I ever saw was him and Chris sitting on their drums, and/or headbanging on them...I assume they are worthless members. Having seen them live, I realize that they do more playing than I first thought. Honestly, they should just be the 'power' drummers. It would get real confusing to have too much going on...

Anyway, I think Vermilion is quite honestly their best song, hands down. It has a huge, epic feel to it, and it is heavily growing on me. I'd love to see them do more stuff like that...and Vol. 3 in general...

Now, if only someone would remind Paul that he's got 5 strings on that bass, not just 2, we'd be ok :p

And you're the kind of poster we hate.

You type like a 12 year old AOL'er, and then you come into a band's official thread and put someone down for liking said band.

In the future, don't do stupid things that will annoy every sane person here. :thumb:

Yeah, I like the stuff they did on The Virus of Life, with the kegs and the congas.And the xylophone at the end of Vermilion.More stuff like that would be good.But yeah, Vermilion has a great epic feel to it.The solo adds on to it.It sucks that it was cut in half on the Resident Evil sountrack and possibly the single too.Anyway, Im really looking forward to the full version of Danger-Keep Away.The version on the album ends too abruptly.

...I have never heard any Xylophone sound like the sound heard at the end of Vermilion.

I personally think it was created on a keyboard...sounds like the Crystal effect to me. Or possibly some other percussion instrument...but not a xylophone.

I guess I dont really know what a xylophone sounds like.I remember Joey mentioning the use of one and I just assumed that was it.

I was listening to their first (and best album) today. Love that bassline on Do Nothing/Bitchslap (even though it's not too complex).

I thought that he played a 4 string Warwick Corvette tuned B F# B E :confused:


"I was listening to their first (and best album) today. Love that bassline on Do Nothing/Bitchslap (even though it's not too complex)."

Sometimes simple basslines sound the best. Paul isn't the best bass player in the world but he does play some good ****.

Watch the Duality video. He plays a 5 string Warwick now.

He still has the four...he used it at least once during their show here...

And honestly, I can't stand alot of his basslines, they are too easy. But I've never heard the Do Nothing bassline, which alot of people says is the best when it comes to Slipknot bass...

Yeah, his basslines are too easy. I figured out "Duality" on my own the first time I tried playing it, along with most of the other songs. But in the performance on Jay Leno he was still using the four, but I think I remember seeing him is a Bass Guitar mag with a 5. I'm suprised he's playing a Warwick. You'd think he'd play a B.C. Rich, ESP or Ibanez, you know steriotypical guitar/bass companies for the genre, but I do like the sound he gets from his Warwick.

oooh yeah... Do Nothing/Bitchslap has a badas.s bass line... and his bass lines may be easy but they fit the music and have a nice rhythm for the songs without being flashy.

You don't happen to have that video do you?

I give him credit for keeping up with Mick and Jim, but his lines are generally not that spectacular...

Actually I do have the video. Yeah, he does hold the bottom end pretty good. The simple basslines just make it easier to go crazy on and to add your own variations if you want to make it flashy.

[QUOTE=feedthegods666]to drummachine

honestly, anyone who says Mick is a good guitarist is a complete idiot. i can play pretty much every slipknot song, except for Dont get close and Eeyore. Mick cant play guitar for sh1t. they arent original or anything. i realize this, theyre still my fave band tho[/QUOTE]

Calm down man, it was just an opinion. Yeah his guitar parts aren't very difficult, but it fits the music. Same with, like we said, the bass parts. Not difficult but it fits the music. I mean can you picture Slipknot doing Eddie Van Halen or Kirk Hammet style guitar solos?
