[QUOTE=Bl4ckDmon;20399357]I don't get the hate for Slipknot, [b]I know a lot of Goths that hate this band[/b] yet I know there are atleast 4 songs on the Vol. 3 album that they would like if they weren't on the bandwaggon of hate for Slipknot.[/QUOTE]
They're goths.
Hating everything is a part of their thing.

Slipknot Owns! I appreciate the amount of work you put into this. The New masks SUCK!

How about now? :)
I'm not a slipknot fan, but sweet jesus, awesome thread. Makes me want to give them a shot again.
Nice thread and all, but Slipknot is pretty mediocre. I don't like to just say 'mainstream garbage', but it is really. If you look beyond Slipknot, SOAD and Avenged Sevenfold, there is FAR better metal to be discovered.
[QUOTE=James*;17285042]good one[/QUOTE]
I like your Avatar Picture, Gojira - From Mars To Sirius
Great band, Great album

And who the fuck cares about the masks ?
btw, I love Slipknot :D

Their first album is great and not just 'mediocre', after that it all goes downhill
I found MFKR for 20€ at a local disk shop (and ended up buying the first album, not the digipak/10th anniversary version though). I'm 75% percent certain that the MFKR copy I found is a fake, but I can't be sure just by examining the front cover (it's got a protective sticker so I can't open it, also the case seems to be scratched). What should I do?

The only way to check out if its a real copy would be to open the box and check out the booklet.
I like Corey Taylor's screams and whispers, but his straight up singing is just faggy sounding.
Also Vermilion is an amazing song.
Scissors is awesome, probably my favorite song from the self-titled album(which is also my favorite).

Straight up singing would be clean vocals? Because his hardcore shout/scream is amazing. He's one of the better metal vocalists I've heard.
OP, A+
Love the amount of info in your post :)
As I said I would, I looked into them after reading the fantastic OP.
Some great songs. Duality and Psychosocial are two of my favourites.
a "turntablist" and a "sampler"? What?!

you could replace his name with any metalcore vocalist's name and it would accurately describe them
[QUOTE=Vedicardi;20855811]a "turntablist" and a "sampler"? What?!
[/QUOTE]
They don't really do much, neither do the two custom percussionists, though Clown is a good songwriter and media expert for their videos and stuff.
why would any of that stuff be done live?
[QUOTE=Vedicardi;20876288]why would any of that stuff be done live?[/QUOTE]
It isn't, they're pretty much there for comedic effect so they can headbang and destroy stuff and fight when they need someone too.
That's why their live shows are entertaining.
I doubt anyone in slipknot has "fought" during a live show in the past 5 years
[QUOTE=Eluveitie;20851478]Straight up singing would be clean vocals? Because his hardcore shout/scream is amazing. He's one of the better metal vocalists I've heard.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, his clean vocals are awful. It's not that he doesn't hit the notes properly, it's just so weak sounding and doesn't fit in with the music.

Yeah, only one it really suits is Dead Memories.

If there's one song I love from the s/t album it's Eeyore. It sounds a lot more metal than their stuff on that era and compared to Sulfur, the main riff sounds quite similar.

Shit man! Thats fucking amazing! I'm fucking jealous man :D
Man I've known this band since the Iowa album.
I was like 6-7 years old when my sister had that Iowa poster and I was so scared of the masks I couldn't even step into the room! :D
MAN how I love this band! Even though AHIG and MFKR kinda suck...
I don't see why people complain and HATE it so much! :c
[QUOTE=MotherPuncher;17283164]I used to like them. Their self-titled album is the best, then they kinda went downhill.[/QUOTE]
