Slipknot

Recommended Posts

Ok here's the low down. I just got their album [b][i]Slipknot[/b][/i] and am currently listening to it 24/7. I don't know if any of ya'all are metal heads or just like angry music. If you do I suggest Slipknot highly. Of course ya'all have already heard of Slipknot. Anyways, if you have what do you think of them? Favorite Song? Right now mine are [i][b]Wait and Bleed[/b][/i] and [b][i]Prosthetics[/b][/i]

Heck if you want to, rate them from 1-10.

I'd give them a 9 but hey thats just me.

[size=1] [font=century gothic] [color=crimson] Their music is quite good, I have listened to some of it at my course because the guy at the computer terminal next to me plays it religiously. [img]http://digilander.libero.it/ilxnucleo/Emoticon/Chitarra.gif[/img]

I'm not sure of the titles that i like, but the music kicks butt. The only problem and possibly why I am not a harcore fan, is that they are Antichrist. [img]http://digilander.libero.it/ilxnucleo/Emoticon/Metallaro.gif[/img]

Oh well. The music is actually good though.[/size] [/font] [/color]

[color=deeppink] [size=1]Er... another cousin, lol. You were talking about Celia, right? ...yeah. o_o;

Celia doesn't like punk that much. I think she's moreova hip-hop kind of person.

But... really. My cousin has so many posters of them in his room, you really don't see that much wallpaper on one of the corners by his bed. I don't know how he can sleep with those posters. They're so creepy! ><[/color] [/size]

When I was younger, bands like Slipknot were the types of things I most listened to. Now, I really don't care for them and wonder what I saw in most of it in the first place. That's another story.

I got into Slipknot because of their selftitled CD. I thought pretty much everything on it was a good track, and even though I'm not really fond of the CD now... You could tell there was a good deal of talent involved.

Because of this, I sought out their first release: Mate Feed Kill Repeat. There weren't many copies made, and originals go for quite a bit of money. Of course, we're online... so I found what I needed. I was surprised to listen to some of the tracks, which while they were still very Slipknot, they had a Mr. Bungle style to them. It kind of disappointed me that Slipknot went away from this, but it's understandable.

Time passed, I got away from metal... Iowa came out. I still liked metal at this point, but Iowa was one of the worst metal albums I'd heard in a while. I'll admit a good deal of metal is simply "noise," but generally it still had a musical sense to it. Iowa just seemed noise for the sake of noise, screaming just to scream. It didn't work for me, and as of now I couldn't care less for the band.

I still do like MFKR though, especially Do Nothing/Bitchslap.

[QUOTE]...but Iowa was one of the worst metal albums I'd heard in a while.[/QUOTE]

ive noticed that about iowa. there is no in between opinion. it was loved or hated. (mostly hated) but, then again, how can you follow up a record like "slipknot"?

i got their self-titled a couple years ago and was very impressed. people say that slipknot is not talented. i disagree. just because you dont employ a flaming randy rhoads solo in every song (or at all, in slipknot's case) doesnt mean you arent talented. slipknot employ their talent in their layering and energy.

(recap:) ) i was pleased with "slipknot" but i havent listened to it as much lately.

Wrong...If you learn a bit more about them you would realize that Slipknot is not anarchist although their music protrays them as it. They are a great band, I really enjoy listening to Iowa and blasting it. Hahaha

Its fun, well, Slipknot is an old CD of theirs Lalrith, I would recommend you listen to Iowa...

My favorite songs from them are Heretic Anthem and Disasterpiece...

OH YEAH! Who else got their DVD?! Disasterpieces!!!! Mwhaha Its awesome, I recommend you not only check it out but BUY IT!

...They ARE, they really aren't anarchist... Yes 666 was lit up in one of their live perfomances

It was probably for Heretic Anthem... Since it starts like this...

8...7...[b]6[/b]...[b]6[/b]...[b]6[/b]...5...4...3...2...1

Slipknot is one of my favorite bands, but they are slipping in rank slowly- being replaced by SoAD, Meshuggah, Soulfly, Sepultura as I descend from mainstream to some of the undergrounders.

I give SK a 9/10, and await to see if their fourth album will come to be, and if it will descend back into the pure thrashing goodness of the Self Titled album.[/color]

They're losing their rank to bands like sepultura because they arent as good, Slipknot are decent, but to be honest I wouldnt by any of their ablums, I baught Iowa and got bored of it. Their stuff's all over the place and it gets annoying after a while. Sooooo as a small summary i'd have to say "I dont like them" :P

My favourite Slipknot song would have to be either Spit it Out or My Plague. I like loads more from their albums and still think they are a very good talented band. The fact that members are going off doing their own thing with other bands and still being apart of slipknot shows they have a bit of class. I think the masks are cool!

I would give them a 9. :demon: Stone Sour is a brilliant band too.

[B][color=crimson]Psh. Eyeore is the best song on any Slipknot album. I love that song so much, its my theme song. God praise hidden tracks. ^_^[/color] [/B][/QUOTE]

Eyeore is really good, I must say, it was my favorite at one time... Haha, but I gotta question... Ken, you prolly know this song[I hope] Black Heart by them. I've looked everywhere to find the lyrics for them, but also, when I download it on kazaa... It also comes up as a Stone Sour song...>_< SO F*CKING CONFUSED!!!!!

There not necessarily antichrist, but there close. Cory and his band( which seems to have died down for awhile) just dont give a flying **Insert cuss words of your choosing here**. They do the whole antichrist thing to piss people off, and get there name spread. They are a great band however.



Now [SIZE=1][b]MUDVAYNE[/b][/SIZE] , thats a band. They totally revamped there style, with the whole Zeta Reticuli alien thing. If you have not seen there new single, " not Falling" video, I truly suggest it. If your not into music vids, for some crackhead reason, d/l the song, or buy the cd, like I did.

[color=red] Mmm. I've only heard Spit It Out as of yet. It was OK, but now I'm not really into heavy music like that. I'm more into the smooth and just soothing bands of the Classical Rock Age like Pink Floyd and so on.

Just based upon that one song, I'd say possible a 6.5/10. I'm not really into Heavy Metal anymore.[/color]

[B]Slipknot are pretty damn good if you ask me. I would give them 8.5/10 for just a generalization of their music. try listening to some Mudvayne or the new KoRn CD. I reckon they're uup their too. [/B][/QUOTE]

Yeah I love both MudVayne and Korn, both are awesome. But Slipknot....they just how I feel most of the time perfectly!

L.D 50 was one of mudvaynes greatest albums. The set of songs on that one was great, got the adrenaline, and anger goin well.

Now, this new one, The end of all things to Come. ** wipes up drool**

It's AWESOME. They totally revamped their style, besides their look. it's great.

Yeah, I know what you mean Lalaith, sometimes you just find a CD that fits in so perfectly with the way your emotions are set at the time it can almost overwhelm you. I got the same feeling recently listening to the new Nirvana, after my girl (I am in love with still) left my town for good. I couldn't understand the words at first, but it was like the music spoke to me. Sounds corny, but true, and oh so damn painful as ever. :'( I miss her.

I can't believe it took me so long to find this thread. I love Slipknot. My favorite songs are Spit it Out, Eyeore, Wait and Bleed, My Plauge, and The Heritic Anthem. SLipknot is the best band ever. I can't believe Corey is leaving to be with Stone Sour... I can't wait for Mick's new band to come out. My favorite member is Joey Jordison. Joey just kicks ***! In art class I made his mask and a clay statue of him playing his drum set. Slipknot gets a 666/666 from me.
