Guest deathellious Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 SLIPKNOT FANS! how do you feel about the spliting of the manic nine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake of Bodom Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Are they splitting for sure? I thought Corey said that was only a rumor... Anyway, it's somewhat sad. Slipknot was a great band, and with the release of Vol. III was REALLY starting to show some potential for some truly awesome music. Even the first two albums are great listening. I guess the upside to it would be the guys starting their own projects (or even Corey continuing on with Stone Sour - that'd be pretty nifty). I'd be especially excited to see what Mick would do. He seemed decently talented, especially on Vol. III. I wonder what Craig will do though... he didn't really seem to do a lot for the 'Knot :animeswea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamuro Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 [SIZE=1]Hmm, how do I feel... Oh well, thats what I have to say lol. Slipknot was going in a direction I just wasn't excited about. I have other bands to listen to that play acoustic songs, and Slipknot isn't one of them. The overly large band was made for metal, and in their earlier works thats what they did. They did it well and even when people ridiculed them I was proud to call myself a maggot. However, more recently I've seen a not so blatant attempt to sell-out. Less meaningful lyrics and just less passion. It's not the same, and personally I'd rather see Slipknot break up then suck.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was more refined, more complex, and more interesting to listen to. Although sometimes, I just gotta bust out a little People=Sh!t or (sic) for the pure emotion behind it. I agree that there was more passion behind their older stuff... but still, I like Vol. III the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Personally I liked their early demo stuff the best, Mate Feed Kill Repeat. To me it was just the most fun and versatile release. I always enjoy songs that are able to switch styles completely mid-song successfully and that album had a lot of examples of that. I wasn't as big on them after that, I suppose, but they held up a lot more than I ever expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilyholic Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Their music just like their masks. Pretty kool! I like them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake of Bodom Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Now here's the question: [B]Who had the best mask?[/B] I liked Corey's first mask (ghoul w/ dreadlocks) or Sid's second mask (that wierd skull thing with the huge round mouth). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilyholic Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I like joey's white mask, very gothic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake of Bodom Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Actually, Joey's mask is far from Gothic (if I'm correct here). I believe it's a replica (perhaps modified) of an ancient Japanese Kabuki mask. Oh, by the way, check out [URL=http://www.black-goat.com]Black-Goat[/URL] for instructions on building Slipknot masks.

Kamuro Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 [SIZE=1]Just as you said before, it was the pure emotion. The new stuff just doesn't strike me like the old stuff did, and still does. Sure, it grows on you after awhile, but even when it does, it still doesn't compare. They lack the passion that made them famous in the first place. They sold out, plain and simple, it's just not the same. I'm tired of posers in "Slipknot gear" claiming they love the band after merely hearing one or two songs from Volume III. I'm tempted to scream Disasterpiece in their face and then see if they still like Slipknot. Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat, that's passion, Iowa, was pure Slipknot. Look over the booklet, read the lyrics, read the comment towards the back, thats Slipknot.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer7 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 At first I hadn't liked them, but lately I have been listening to some of thier music and they have been growing on me. Kinda sad for fans, but thier is still alot of other metal bands out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they lost the passion. I just seem to like the music a bit more on Vol. III - it's more complex, tighter, and there's leads (which I love). Oh well.
