Slipknot

[Guest converge241]

from wicked land.com:

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor had some fierce words for Mushroomhead in the May 2002 edition of "Rock Sound" magazine. When asked about the band he went on to state: "Dude, don't even go there. That fucking band, they couldn't be following us any closer if they were in this fucking band. Those motherfuckers encourage their fans to pelt us in Cleveland; The first time we ever played there Paul got hit in the fucking head with a piece of steel the size of my fist. So we went out into the audience and got in a fight and one of our techs went to jail for it! They wanna know why we're pissed at them? Because they started this shit years ago, now they want to lick their wounds and call it all good... Bullshit! That's not the fucking way this band works man. I'll fucking go to fucking Cleveland and grab every fucking one of them by their stupid fucking masks and I will put a knee to their faces until they pass out from loss of blood!" Taylor also had some less than flattering words about their labelmates Nickelback and their label Roadrunner's support of their latest offering "IOWA", here's what he had to say: "I'm glad they could use our money to make fucking Nickelback happy, that's a very, very bitter subject for me and if I ever see any of those fuckers its going to be brutal." He went on to state: "I'm happy for them but at the same we went out and bust our asses to make what we did. If they're still here in a couple years then hey, good for them, but this band isn't going anywhere and when the record label basically fucks your loyalty in the ass it's really bitter, especially when we went out and fucking bled, sweat and earned every fucking album that we sold. MTV won't fucking touch us, radio barely fucking touches us and here comes those fucking pretty boys... and the lead singer looks like Shaggy from Scooby Doo... and what the fuck am I supposed to do? Am I not supposed to feel bitter when I have broken bones and fucking torn corneas, its bullshit and the record label just smiles at you and goes 'yeah , yeah whatever', its fucking not right dude." He continued on by saying: "Its just the fact we could have used the help. We have fucking fought for everything we have fucking made, when is someone going to help us and when is someone going to step up and fight for us? The record label doesn't do that for us, it'll go to bat for fucking Nickelback but when it comes to us its fucking shutdown, its like what the fuck? I'm fucking proud of what we've done but goddamnit when are we going to get given a hand? I'm so fucking tired of it. God, I sound like a fucking dick today!" The article also goes on to address Taylor's upcoming side project SuperEgo, the next Slipknot opus and much more

especially when you consider Roadrunner has 567983284932 better acts on their label, or did at one point...Fear Factory anyone?  yeah they blew SLipknot out the water, that's for sure...Sepultura definently beat out Slipknot...i like Slipknot and all, but Corey needs to back up a little bit and check himself, just because he dons a mask and grunts and growls and yells like a freaking idiot doesn't mean he's gonna be the freaking man in music...

What the hell is he crying about? He was the number 1 top selling album in the country for 2 weeks. It quickly fell down the charts because either nobody cared or there quote unquote fans dont feel like buying the record. I wasted my money on the thing and it was all the same freaking crap. They're a corperate metal band and they are just stupid whiny bitches. Besides at least Nickleback is out there making Rock music popular again.

Lets see, Mushroomhead is from Cleveland, and do you think many of the cleveland fans would like to see a band like Slipknot copying Mushroomhead's gimmick.

Slipknot has nothing on mushroomhead. All Corey is, is a former "anguished" teen that is mad because his parents wouldnt buy him something. Slipknot has no talent and half of the members of the band dont do any fucking thing.(btw Nickleback blows slipknot out of the water)

[Guest Shaved Bear]

sigh, i remember liking slipknot when i first heard their first album, then--i saw two horrible things

their fans

their second album (well i didnt see it, i heard it)

[Guest Mark4steamboat]

Corey says Fuck over and over again and is a complete jackass. he defends the numetalers in the pits and says how he will injure anyone who throws a punch in the pit. Cmon. he is such a joke.

I don't like corey as a vocalist (or as anything) but at least slipknot made an impact, nickelback are the very definition of vanilla. Veery weak. Not as bad as AAF, but then who is? Mushroomhead  are streets ahead of slipknot in every way, even if they are a bit derivative.

I can't tell the Slipknot guys apart, and could honestly care less because they're my least favorite band (I'm not going to use a term as strong as hate for something as stupid as Slipknot), but I remember one of the guys saying in an interview how he really just enjoyed being with his family and his community, and that he didn't agree with any of Slipknot's lyrics or attitudes at all.  I was relieved, because I really can't stand either their lyrics or their attitude (or their music, or their masks, or...), but at the same time I was thinking total misrepresentation.  It doesn't surprise me that they would whine about their album not selling.
