Slipknot v.s. Mudvayne

[Kamuro]

lol, sorry, but I don't care if te songs are hard to play, I play, and I don't focus on the difficulty of the song, if it doesn't sound good then does it really matter how complicated the tabs are? Sure, they've become increasingly talented, but the downhill comment was referring to their musical career. They're not an acoustic band, and if they continue in that direction, then they'll lose a lot of their most dedicated fans, who loved the first albums and really didn't want them to change. "If its not broken, don't fix it" as I said before.

Its not uneducated to listen to the music and like it or not like it. I've listened to the music, read the lyrics, read/played the tabs and my opinions are anything but uneducated. It urks me when someone says that just because my opinion is different from their own. Its not uneducated, theres reasoning behond my remarks and if you really read each one then you should be able to put them together and relate to what I'm talking about. I've said over and over and over again that I don't mind a band going in a different direction, however, this change was drastic, and un-needed considering the success they already had. I could easily call your remarks uneducated considering I've posted this several times and you come back and post the same argument as before.

As for Stone Sour, I was never really a huge fan, but it is softer then Slipknot, and it doesn't make sense for Corey to play a song like Vermilion in a band like Slipknot with 9 members and only put 2-3 to use. Anyway, its his song and he can play it however he chooses.

My apologies; I thought what you meant by downhill was that they were getting worse as musicians (you followed it up with the comment about how bands should be learning more and developing as musicians - I guess I just got it confused). My comment was based on this misunderstanding, and I'm sorry. What I meant is that they have definately developed as musicians. Like I said, I like the way the older albums sound a lot better. It's just the technicality and songwriting that's improved. I apologize if I've offended you in any way.

no worries, I just didn't like the uneducated remark. Considering this is forum and seldom to people actually know each other personally, its hard to say that someones educated or not about a certain subject since you have no idea of their past or what they do now. I just felt it important to post another POV rather then the usual "Slipknot is awesome!" 1-2 sentence posts. I really enjoy Slipknot's music so maybe I'm a bit passionate about the subject and this leads me to exaggerating the subject and such, but I think its important remember the old music while forming an opinion of the new.

As much as I lvove Slipknot, I must say Mudvayne. I didn't like Vol 3 muych because it wasnt as heavy as their usual music. Mudvayne is amazing. Their singer is a great singer and screamer. I also like how in his previous album he played without usin facepaint. I want to get their new cd that just came out. I love the song "F***ing Determined". Great song!

Long Live Mudvayne!

Definately. Well said ^^.
Slipknot are my favourite band! I love their music, and have all their albums.. I think it was great that they tried something new, vol3 is my favourite album to date!

I think Mudvayne stands out because of their bassist, Ryan. That kid can play like no other. The way he mixes finger-picking and slap with normal bassing is amazing. I've never seen/heard any bassist play like that.
