slipknot kicks a.ss

Here's a bit of a bump.

I talked about Craig not doing alot for the band...and I had no idea what a great song for him was.

I just paid attention to the song "Circle" and there are a ton of things going on. Strings, ambient sounds, stuff like that. If that's most/or all of him, it's great stuff. One great track out of...30 or 40 doesn't really justify him being there IMO, but it's a good start :thumb:

Now, where is Sid's breakout track? :p

What about To My Surprise Shawn (Clown 6) Crahan sideproject, i heard it, the song is called In The Mood and I think it sux.
I like a lot more Murderdolls or Stone Sour
Shawn should be kicked-out of the band(slipknot), he`s not a contribution.

shawn is one of the original slipknot members and actually does have an important part of slipknots power percussion. he and chris play the custom built steel sets, along with doing other things like that marching band style snare drum.

Today I Ate Poops Out Of A Public Toilet....it Was Fantastic, Some Kid Dared Me And I Did !!!!...he Gave 5 Dollars, I Am So ****ing Happy I Can Eat A Cow !!!! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!! I'm Rich, After Eating Poops, Slimy Poo And Diarrea Out Of A Toilet !!! Yes !

Just getting into Slipknot, effing great band tho. Can only come up with my favorite--> Wait + Bleed

I'm tired of people thinking the two Percussionists are wasted members, because they're not. If you listen, the really fast-paced blasting and cymbol crashing comes from Joey the drummer, while the more syncopated, rhythmic percussive force comes from those two guys. They sound awesome with the agressive guitars.

The extra percussion and bass in this band is more about feel than about what you can hear, at least on the older stuff.

In Vol 3, you can actually pick out, to an extent, who's playing what...except Sid...off the top of my head, I'm not sure he's actually DOING anything on this album...which is ironic because Joey was quoted as saying "You can hear everything...the DJ..."

Where is he? Hm? I found Craig, now where is Sid?

top 20 songs
 

it would be too hard for me to list a top 20 in order so i will just list my favorite songs as they come to me:

only one ( mate, feed, kill repeat )
only one
spit it out
people = ****
the blister exists
circle
vermillion part 2
the nameless
purity
my plague
disastorpiece
everything ends
duality
pulse of the maggots
wait and bleed
the shape
do nothing/bitchslap
left behind
vermillion
sic

Yeah I used to like Slipknot but I also grew out of them but their new album was terrible. Too much offtime **** which pisses me off. But as far as Joey goes, it never gets old listen to him play, he is so amazing on the drums.

I pretty sure Sid did some of the stuff on Circle.He did the intro to it for sure.Another great track for Craig would have to be Danger-Keep Away.He plays the keyboard on it and does some of the sounds in the background along with Sid.The 8 minute version of the song is gonna be released in October with the Vermilion single.Craig and Sid are actually all over Slipknot songs but were thrown back on Iowa.They were used alot more on Vol.3.

A breakout song for Sid would probably be Purity,and alot of the stuff on the s/t album.But Purity is his best IMO.

Sid is on there,you just gotta know what to listen for(which is hard because its hard to tell his stuff apart from Craigs).He moved away from the tradition "skibity skibity"DJ scratching that he did on s/t.But he's on this.

Prelude 3.0-Sid does the weird Arpeggio noises and other stuff that you have to listen closely for.Some of it may be Craigs aswell.

The Blister Exists-He scratches after Corey says "drop it" about 40 seconds in.He also does stuff at the end.

Three Nil-He does the 1-2-3 thing aswell as that weird thing during the main riff.

Duality-He does some minor scratching at the end of this,its syncronized with Corey's "All Ive got-All Ive got is insane".

Opium of the People-I cant think of anything,maybe nothing.

Circle-He does the intro,it has a vinyl sound and that rewind thing.He does some stuff during the song,the looped things sound like they come from his turntable.

Welcome-He does that airhorn type of thing during the chorus.Im pretty sure.

Vermilion-Im not sure,the space rock sound is most likely done by Craig.

Pulse of the Maggots-He does some scratching on this,before the first verse,the techno breackdown before verse 2,uhh....thats it.

Before I Forget-He scratches before the Chorus.Thats all I can remember.

Vermilion pt.2-Absolutely nothing.What can he do on this?

The Nameless-He scratches in the begining during the first riff,it repeats later,there is stuff that he does during the chorus which is almost unmentionable because its so hard to catch.Listen on the left speaker and you might hear it.

The Virus of Life-He is all over this.I cant even name it all.

Danger-Keep Away-Some of the background stuff is his because you can hear them being messed with,like about 2 mins in,when Corey's voice is echoed and turned into a weird sound.Thats it I guess.

Why I closely scrutinized everything to point out Sids work?I dont know.I was banned for 3 days,I had to get this out of me. :D

Slipknot sucks!

"Yeah dude NOFX is cool dude I love my green mowhawk Cali punk for life why do most of us punks look like we came strait out of Auchwitz?Is going to the gym not punk?I hate the government,and conformists.Anarchy!!"

Ah well...

Generally, any weird noises I hear I tend to believe Craig has created. Much easier to point out what should be the work of the sampler/keyboardist than the DJ...

I thought I heard some scratching on The Blister Exists...it's very weird, sounds electronic almost...but yeah. I will listen to it again I guess.

If you think Slipknot sucks, stay out of the thread. Plain and simple.

hes deffinetly there, but still he hardly does anything in the songs, just a few scrathes before the chous in a few song and wierd intros.

To me, that's a wasted member.

If they used all 9 members to their fullest potential, I think they'd be a huge powerhouse of a band. Well...more so than they already are.

See a few posts back for my thoughts on that.

Oh yeah, I see them tomorrow. :chug:

Eyeless for sid....some very cool stuff there.

Hey, just signed up and I would like say that Slipknot is one of the best bands I have ever heard. Although there are a few that make them look like sh*t, they are still extremely awesome.

I could listen to Joey play the drums and Corey sing for hours.

My Plague
SIC
Vermillion
Eyeless
The Blister Exists
Surfacing
People = ****
Eeyore
Circle
Everything Ends
The Heretic Anthem
Duality
Disasterpiece
Wait And Bleed
Left Behind
I Am Hated
Liberate
Spit It Out
Prosthetics
Pulse Of The Maggots

those would probably have to be my top 20.....but everything by SlipKnot kix *** because.....
SLIPKNOT IS GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[QUOTE]Im not talking about you in particular,just them little maggot fanboys that worship Slipknot like the little girlies worshiped nsync.There is alot of them.They give Slipknot and the fanbase a bad name.[/QUOTE]
**** YOU RELLIK AND **** YOU TO FEEDTHEGODS666!!!!! YOU GIVE THE FANBASE A BAD NAME!!!!!

That may sound like alot of clutter tho.All three percussions,relentless samples and DJ work.Who knows.They are a very good energetic band on stage.I saw them about a month back,and they were good.They could have been louder tho.

I don't need them to be 'relentless', I just want Chris, Shawn, Craig and Sid to do more, that's all

I'd like to see that too.The percussionists did some really cool stuff on MFKR.I dont know why they stopped doing that on the newer stuff from 99 up.But I guess they had their reasons for it.

[QUOTE=RagingBassist]I don't listen to Slipknot a whole lot, but I think their first album kicked major ***. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else saw them on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. I've never seen them live before, but I thought it was a great performance.[/QUOTE]

My friend saw them in Chorzów. They had rotten sound system (you know, wrong cables etc), anyway it was amazing.

[QUOTE=6(sic)6 blissed out hippy]Slipknot are awesome, but i've moved away from them, i don't listen to them as much any more, for me, their latest album was a dissapointment, it was a change in their style of music which to me, makes COREY not the band, it makes corey a sellout. I only say this because all of slipknot say stuff like "corey was a real drive for us this time around".[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=feedthegods666]very very true!! i listened to slipknot to vent anger and frustration. you cant do that with their new album. its still decent stuff, but nothing like their first two[/QUOTE]


i think you 2 a crack addicts. The most recent album was the best that's come out. Before i listened to them as well, but as my best friend says "you couldn't f*ckin' understand what he was saying before, and that was just f*cked up". This album brings out their REAL talent. The past albums were corey screaming about frustrations i'll say that they had meaning, but the new songs do as well. The new album is incredible and you shouldn't knock it, cuz it kicks ***! It's easier on the ears then the past albums and it helps them to have more listeners and people don't get bashed for listening to them, anymore. If you were a true slipknot fan, you would accept their change.

Very true.I hate seeing reviews from people saying "This album is really good,but its not Slipknot,I'll give it 1 star."WTF?Just drop the pre-concieved notion,and listen to it then.You wouldnt be disappointed.This album actually puts me in a trance like nothing else does.Get stoned and listen to it,its quite an album when your stoned :lol: .But anyway,Its an improvement from them.I think it weeds out the people that listened to them for the wrong reasons.

Vol 3: >>> Slipknot >>>> Iowa

Volume 3 shows that they know how to do more than just insane double bass and powerchords. That Corey can actually sing. That Craig actually does more than headbang.

Volume 3 is very dark and melodic, but also heavy. It's their best album to date, I don't care what any 'maggot' says

i like it alot too because it is alot more emotionally heavier than their previous albums. it makes you think alot more. but my favorite song is on the iowa album(left behind).

feedthegods666 new name=me

i never said i was a "true" slipknot fan. i like their new album, but i prefer their older ones. their newer one seems like pop rock rather than nu metal. i listen to it when im in different moods. please think about what you're saying before you say it :thumb:
