cant think of anymore at the moment

I dont listen to them at all really anymore. When I did my favorite songs were probably Eeyore + (sic) + Sur Facing + one more.. i cant remember the name.

i think more peple should listen to slipknot there a great band dont know why they get dissed so much

They get dissed cause lots of their fans are childish and always say slipknot are best band, joey is best drummer, mick is best guitarist, corey is best singer, etc... In reality, it's all subjective, so saying one person is best or greatest as a fact is false as that's impossible because it's subjective. And since slipknot has many fans, most people start hating the band for the fans. Same thing is with metallica, and few other bands.

They are one of the best nu metal bands..... But honestly I don't think they are a "great" band... A good listen, sometimes... Yes.... Great band, no.


They get made fun of because they have alot of really dumb fanboys/fangirls.

They refer to their fans as the larva of flies... That's lovely...

All in all.... They are enjoyable in small/medium amounts.

yeah i dont listen to them that much but there still good and shouldnt get dissed and i know what your saying about there fans saying that joey is the greatest drummer and so forth but still

[QUOTE=I_am_hated]dont most people bash nu-metal[/QUOTE]

Yeah... I saw this just now and just wanted to comment on it. Yeah people bash on Nu-Metal and all, but it's really nothing to be bashed on. If you look up Nu-Metal, it's just a type of genre of Metal in which the bass parts are the main focus, the lyrics are usually sung in a rapping style, and the guitar isn't the main part in the songs. This is why most do not like Nu-Metal or consider it to be 'true metal' because most Nu-Metal does not involve a wide range of guitar solos or solos at all, which other Metal genres do include. So really, this genre of music shouldn't be bashed like it normally is, it is just another sense of music that should be appreciated by others. I don't know, that's just my opinion on this.

I hate the term [i]Nu-Metal[/i].

You just made my case of why it's awful.

[quote=I_am_hated]i think more peple should listen to slipknot there a great band dont know why they get dissed so much[/quote]

They get dissed so much because they are one of the forefront bands of nu-metal. Alot of people just have a general disliking towards nu-metal, and use Slipknot as an example of everything bad. They also hate the idea of wearing masks.

And their fanatical fans also turn people off. I must admit, their fans overrate them a bit, but they are a great band.

Mudvayne is and always will be my most favourite Nu-Metal band always. But ive decided not to bash other Nu-Metal bands just because i dont like the genre.e.g Korn, Slipknot and SOAD.

The term Nu-metal is too generic. Slipknot and Linkin Park can not be placed in the same genre. Also, System Of A Down should really be called progressive metal, shouldn't they?

I dont think Linkin Park is Metal. Whats so metal about them. They rap. And tune to drop D but so do a thousand other bands that arent metal. Oh and yes new SOAD = (crap)Prog Metal

Most SOAD = (good) Prog metal. That's my opinion, as subjective as it may be. And Linkin Park are classified as metal, unfortunately.

I also (IMO) don't think Slipknot are nu-metal.

Oh i definately think that Slipknot are Nu-Metal. They fit the genre perfectly. Sorry about the SOAD comment i just dont like them anymore.

How do they fit the genre perfectly? They do a bit of rap in some songs but that's the only similarity I can see.

No like there riffing and song structure.And lyrics. And guitar tunings. And vocals. Nu-Metal isnt rapping.

Nu-metal usually involves rapping. I admit, Slipknot are similar to nu-metal, but not quite. They're just metal, in fact if you look at their riffing and song structure, it only strengthens my point. The riffs, solos and drums are far too complex too be considered nu-metal.

I agree about drums. But if we go into riffing then it also takes Mudvayne out of the genre for drumming too! Mudvayne has more complex structure than Slipknot will ever have!

I always found Mudvayne rather simple and mundane.

You play drums I guess.

yeh i do. But you must admit they are more complex than Slipknot after all they do get called Math Metal.

I think Slipknot are nu-metal. Mainly because no solos/short solos, simple riffs, and a DJ, which nu-metal bands like limp bizkit have.

Still, nu-metal should be broken up, Limp Bizkit and Slipknot sound totally different, mainly because of Joey's Drumming and Corey's rapping.

[QUOTE=ValeOfShadows]yeh i do. But you must admit they are more complex than Slipknot after all they do get called Math Metal.[/QUOTE]

Yea their drumming seems more diverse, but slipknot's has some nice speedy double bass action. Actually I don't know who'se more complex, slipknot's seems more to me. :confused: I suck at this.

FTW.

SOAD are devoid of any talent and are nu metal.

end/

They are NOT prog metal.

prog metal = Dream Theater and Into Eternity, etc.

Opeth is prog metal/prog death metal.

Other then Slipknot and Mudvayne... nu metal is to be forgotten.

I like soad alot better than slipknot and mudvayne combined. Their music is more diverse and every album shows different stuff. Well kind of.

Why is SOAD progressive metal? They repeatedly reuse musical elements.

SOAD have more talent than Slipknot, I think. And Deftones are a far better band in terms of sound and talent.

I'd rather classify them speed metal than prog metal. But they have some elements from nu-metal also, so speedy nu-metal. ;)

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]SOAD have more talent than Slipknot, I think.[/QUOTE]

Yea I think so too except drummers seem kinda equal. One is faster, while other one comes up with better and more effective beats.

[QUOTE=PepsiMetal]I like soad alot better than slipknot and mudvayne combined. Their music is more diverse and every album shows different stuff. Well kind of.[/QUOTE]

Ssaying that both Sli8pknot and Mudvayne have evolved into different sounds.

Yea but they've all stayed heavy while soad has come up with many power balads, and have used greek-type riffs plus they don't sound as raw as they did on first album. Most slipknot's songs sound very similar. And I'm not as familiar with mudvayne's discography, but what I have heard wasn't much different than slipknot except their music is alot less distorted.

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Why is SOAD progressive metal? They repeatedly reuse musical elements.[/QUOTE]
What would you class them as? They may not be prog metal but they're certainly not nu-metal.
