Guest Kinetic Report post Posted July 22, 2002 I'd like to interrupt this unabashed Slipknot hate. But I can't. They suck. Their outfits are goofy, their music is terrible, and they're probably the worst and most inarticulate interview I've ever had the misfortunate to read.

Guest thefrenchargel Report post Posted July 22, 2002 Slipknot is awful. Completely. The only one in the band with a lick of talent is the drummer. Not the two morons that bang on shit, the actual drummer. If you want something to listen to when you're pissed, pick up some Nailbomb..Pre-Sepultura brazilian goodness.

Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted July 22, 2002 I actually think theres some talent buried deep deep below it all. Well the lead singer anyways. What can I say, his solo thing on the Spider-Man soundtrack impressed me. Which makes Slipknot even more annoying. "Hmm...I have a pretty good singing voice...Oh to hell with it. FUCK IT ALL FUCK THIS WORLD FUCK FUCK OH SHIT FUCK" *accepts his platinum album* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted July 22, 2002 meh. I don't think they're anything special, but i don't hate them half as much as everyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted July 22, 2002 nothing but a gimmick band. take away four members, and the masks, janitor suits, and they are nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted July 22, 2002 If Mick (the guitarist with the long hair and metal/leather mask) would just play his guitar as good as he can (classically trained), they'd be a lot better. Hell, put a fucking solo in there somewhere, and stop using Drop-A all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest treble charged Report post Posted July 23, 2002 I like Left Behind (sue me), and I haven't really heard the rest of their stuff. I think my problem is, I find them to be quite strange (especially after reading the article about them in Rolling Stone), and that might be influencing me.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 23, 2002 They are horrible. They tried to become KISS of this Generation but they forgot the most important factor...KISS knew they were no where near talented but focused on what they did right...Power and Theatrics and had a sense of Humor. Read any G. Simmons article, he acknowledges that KISS was horrible but he was gracious enough to please those fans. Slipknot, also, horrible Gimmick band missed the purpose of that style. The lead singer can't sing nor write...look at the trite lyrics from one of their hit songs "Wait and Bleed" "I've felt the hate rise up in me... Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves... I wander out where you can't see... Inside my shell, I wait and bleed... Goodbye! I wipe it off on tile, the light is brighter this time Everything is 3D blasphemy My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up This is not the way I pictured me I CAN'T CONTROL MY SHAKES! How the hell did I get here? Something about this, so very wrong... I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this Is it a dream or a memory? GET OUTTA MY HEAD CUZ I DON'T NEED THIS! Why I didn't I see this? I'm a victim - Manchurian Candidate I - HAVE - SINNED - BY - JUST Makin' my mind up and takin' your breath away GOODBYE! You haven't learned a thing I haven't changed a thing My flesh was in my bones The pain was always free I've felt the hate rise up in me... Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves... I wander out where you can't see... Inside my shell, I wait and bleed... AND IT WAITS FOR YOU! " It looks like a Whiner teen who got his ass kicked and was picked last for Kickball. Which are exactly the type of fans that graviate to them. Look around a school sometime...You'll see these freaks...wearing their black jacket over their Sknot tags...pale, dog-collar. Purple hair and either xtreamly thin or fat. Slipknot is the dregg of music. Save yourself from this crap... Take my advice...Hunt down a great Early 90's band called "Life of Agony" and get their 1st album "RiverRunsRed". This is serious shit and the lead can actually sing.

This is serious shit and the lead can actually sing. Dude...LOA is fucking BADASS. I will never understand how that band didn't break huge. Everyone in the band was talented as hell, and the songwriting is incredible. Real easy stuff to relate to if you're feeling really down as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted July 23, 2002 I've only heard one Life Of Agony song, and I fucking hated it, although it was probably a later song... Anyways, I'll admit to liking Slipknot, but they are nowhere near good. I have an appreciation for bad movies/music in all its forms, as I love not only Troma and Roger Corman films, but also own albums from Slipknot, Green Jelly, and Scatman John.

Guest SuperTonyJaymz Report post Posted July 23, 2002 Wait and Bleed, while trite, sounds pretty okay to me. An your description of their fans are n the mark. The bad thing is, the description goes for the guys and gals...ugggh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCATMAN JOHN~!!!!!!!!!!!!! He fucking rules! Ok, on a serious note, I'm with Corey here, I Like bad music too like Man Without Hats, Al B. Sure, Chub Rock, Hammer, and Hulk Hogan and The Wrestling Boot Band(And I own all thier cd's too). Slipknot sucks, but Corey Talor Is a good singer. I rec. you to D/L "Bother". The Lyrics and The Song is good. I also saw him without his mask on MTV and I can see why he wear the mask, He looks a little like Brandon from Incubus. Meaning that he'll have some TRL female fans.

Guest Sebastian_the_Bastard Report post Posted July 24, 2002 What's with the Slipknot bashing? Where's the love on this board, I'm getting teary-eyed. I think Slipknot is absolutely amazing. Their music has such raw emotion and feeling in it. And their lyrics are actually quite intelligent if you actually give them a chance and read them. They are the ultimate angst/anger band. Bottom line: SLIPKNOT ROCKS OUT. I love you all!!!, Sebastian the Bastard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 24, 2002 Ultimate Angst band isn't something to brag about. Besides, As I mentioned Early LOA created the genre before Slipknot were even a concept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted July 24, 2002 And before LOA were hardcore bands to do the entire raw anger/emotion thing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nezbyte Report post Posted July 24, 2002 DJ Starscream (0, Sid, guy in the gas mask) is talented. No way you can deny that. Cor(e)y Taylor, Joey Jordinson, Mick Thompson should find a better bassist and rule the fucking metal world. Sid should produce and DJ for some rappers ... i guess.
