Slipknot...?

[Assclown_King]

I like them, I think they're good, but I always get fed up of all these debates on what everyones taste in music is.

When I was younger, I was told that there are two things never to bring up in conversation, as there will always be one person to get pissed off for an opinion: Government, and religion. I'm beginning to think musical debates are high up there too nowadays.

Old stuff, new stuff, whatever. I like the band personally, if you don't, no real difference to me.

 

[zHellas]

I prefer to slip-not.

Clever.

I thought so.

Well you thought WRONG!!! Kidding. That was a bit clever.

OT: They're alright, I guess. Only song of theirs I've heard was Psychosocial, which, to me, sounds like a song you'd listen to while pumping weights.

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

I care about them as much as their cold, dead bassist.

Atempt at insulting fans/me fails. Here try this:

They are about as good as Paul Grey is alive.

 

[Marter]

I've never really liked any of their songs, so I take a more of a "meh" attitude towards them.

So Rise Against and Fort Minor are mainstream?
That's what you think until you get asked your favorite band, you say "Rise Against" and they say "Oh, Rage Against The Machine?" and it's like "No... Rise Against you twat!"
I'm 15 for your information, not looking to be flamed so fuck off if you're gonna start stuff.

I can't believe you just said I'm into mainstream... I'm offended!
Muse and Linkin Park are the only 'mainstream' bands I'm into.

... And I can't believe you took offense to that so easily sir. Granted, I'm not one to talk, I don't listen to much music myself, but who cares? Seriously, mainstream, indie, other stuff, you like what you like, getting pissed off at this is petty and stupid. Seriously, be comfortable with yourself, screw what anyone else thinks. You sir need to chill out.

Slipknot and Rise Against are big and mainstream bands.

Are you in America?
'Cause RA certainly aren't mainstream over here.

EDIT: @ Assclown, can't you recognise sarcasm?
Perhaps it was a bit of a bad use of sarcasm, but I really don't care what people think of my music, and if anything I laugh at them for listening to talentless scrubs like Lady GaGa.

 

[child of lileth]

They're okay for their genre (whatever that may be), but I don't like them much personally.

Tis next to impossible to recognize sarcasm in text form sir. Either way, you sound pissed off, that's all I meant.

Apologies, Assclown.
Even if you aren't a fan, you must like Snuff, or Vermillion Pt.2, or even Before I Forget?
I remember I used to hate them, but that was like 5 years ago when I was still listening to Pop music. Since then my eyes have opened

 

[swolf]

I like them...kinda. I mean, some of their songs I'll listen to but, other songs, I will just skip over.

 

[googleit6]

Since we are discussing Slipknot, I feel this is appropriate.
Honestly, I don't know much about Slipknot. From what I've heard, they are okay.

 

[CrashBang]

I like 'em. I think Subliminal Verses was a bit of a flop with just a few good tracks in it, but I think All Hope Is Gone is an amazing album, really brilliant
Their self-titled is also really good, and I actually have not heard a single song from Iowa, but it sounds like I should, so I shall!

 

[Kevlar Eater]

I thought they were okay at first, but it was only because I was seriously beginning to like the metal genre. The more diverse the metal I listened to, the more I realized Slipknot sucked. Primarily my opinion.

 

[ShotgunShaman]

Ok then, please explain to me what you consider musical genious?
Lady GaGa? JLS? Lil Wayne? What?

You'z CHA-ROLLLIINNNN!

 

[Chicaine]

Ok then, please explain to me what you consider musical genious?
Lady GaGa? JLS? Lil Wayne? What?

King Crimson.

EDIT: Gorguts,Neurosis,Cynic.

Ok I'm going to level with you, I have never even heard of them, so yeah they must be awesome!
Not to say that whatever I haven't heard of isn't good.

My idea of genious would be Matt Bellamy, Tim Mcilrath, Corey Taylor and Mike Shinoda most of all!

Not all genius has to be from rock/metal/whatever genre they are, some of the best lyrics i've heard have been in rap/hip hop, i've also heard great rappers collaborating with rock musicians and its been awesome but its the general closed-mindedness that dumbfounds me, the mentality that if you don't like Slipknot you must like whatever craps being pumped out on the radio at the moment pisses me off
And before you assume any aforementioned rap is Lil' Wayne or Jay-Z/Linkin park shite then i ask you to at least give some groups like Atmosphere a listen

OT: I didn't mind listening to them in small doses before, but after all the tryhard emo kids would constantly tell me to listen to so and so screaming shit i felt it was in my best interests to stop the bleeding in my ears

 

[dfphetteplace]

I liked them when I was younger, but now I'm into stuff that is more interesting.

 

[freakonaleash]

well i'm from Iowa so I feel a connection with them

 

[-Samurai-]

I liked them when I was an angry teen that knew everything about everything. I don't like where their music went, though I respect them for letting their sound grow along with them.

They're just not for me anymore. I've out-grown them, but I'll never say I never liked them.

Since we are discussing Slipknot, I feel this is appropriate.

When he put that hat on, I nearly died.

 

[trog08]

I always found them to be a sort of gateway band. You listen to them when your in your early to mid teens then move onto ther stuff from there. I listened to them when I was younger then my tastes sorta evolved to what it is now.
