Mushroomhead Bash Slipknot 2006-10-20 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 16 Comments | Mushroomhead have re-opened the old "credibility" debate, branding fellow clowns Slipknot "the NSync of Heavy Metal."
In an interview with MTV News, drummer Steve "Skinny" Felton made the following remarks: "They're the 'NSYNC of heavy metal. They're a fabricated, label-made bullsh-- band. They're way more corporate than anyone knows.
"They've done lots of shit talking in magazines, and I am still waiting for them to come beat my ass like they say they're gonna," Skinny said. "They think they own the 'mask rock' title, but Mr. Bungle was doing it back in the day. So was KISS, The Residents, King Diamond. There are so many bands that don't get brought up — it's always Slipknot. And it's like, 'Wait a minute, are those guys the originators of this? No way.' Let's talk about some good bands that wore costumes and masks — like Alice Cooper. Hell, I've seen pictures of Jethro Tull wearing jumpsuits with little insignias. There are just so many talented bands who've done it before us and before them.
"We've been doing it longer than them, and we've been around way longer. It's just the rest of the world doesn't really know that. They broke into the spotlight before we did. That's just the luck of the draw, I guess. Musically, we're nothing like them. If we didn't wear the masks, there'd be no comparison ever."
Skinny doesn't know how lame masks and overalls really are.

i like Mushroomheed more than Slipknot, and really there is no comparison. i could care less, if both make good music, then it is fine with me
| | |
aw, they came up with masks before than slipknot!
so what?
| | |
Slipknot admitted to have gotten some of their ideas from mr. bungle's travolta music video

pwn'd.

I prefer mushroomhead, but to be honest
Slipknot have gotten better while Mushroomhead have gotten worse
| | |
I wish I were in a band successful enough to get away with bashing other groups because they had the gimmick first.
| | |
Wow, you know you suck when you just announce a tour, and put out a new album, and still need publicity.
| | |
Mushroom head i think are a lot more credible these days, as you will never see them on TV, except for maybe headbangers ball, but you see slip-knot on TV all the time, and 5 year olds with slipknot shirts on. You know you have failed as a band when the kids that like N*sync like slipknot. They are therefore not affected by the mainstream, and continue doing what they have always done, instead of trying to impress scene kids. Wow, what a rant :D

Both of these bands stink.

Slipknot > Mushroomhead

Slipknot > Mushroomhead
Truth.
Mushroomhead sucks. I don't know of there was something between the two bands that would fuel comments like this, but it seems like this guy is going out of his way to flame Slipknot for something that, in all of my (former) years of Slipknot fanboyism, I've never picked up on at all. The Slipknot have always been rather down-to-earth about what they do and never arrogant. It sounds like this "Skinny" is bitter because Slipknot is getting more credit than his band, and instead of admitting that they're music is better than his, he's trying to point to some miniscule aspect of their imagery.

I like both bands, but this guy's gotta be doing this for publicity. I remember reading ages ago that they had nothing against each other and the fued was amongst ignorant fans.
| | |
slipknot should stop messing around and go back making music like they used to. Iowa and Slipknot are much better albums that 3.0 maby because thay were undescurved then?
| | |
last time i checked, Slipknot said there was no feud between mushroomhead and them apparently this retard changed his mind. Slipknot owns Mushroomhead in every aspect. Every freeking aspect
| | |
In my opinion, both bands are going downhill and it is sad.
If Skinny thinks there is publicity to be had, then he can say what he wants. And if he didn't, then we all couldn't be bashing them.
But, these are my two favorite bands and I don't really care. I listen to them for their music, not their masks. They should be respected for their unique differences and not compared only to be ridiculed.
