Slipknot...?

[Death_Korps_Kommissar]

They've got some good songs.
But I think Corey and Jim are turning them to soft, Chris Fehn is the greatest asshole in the world and Mick and Joey should start a new, more awesome band.

 

[antipunt]

I really like them, but I wouldn't deem them worship-worthy, like Matt Bellamy from Muse

 

[LightspeedJack]

I'm not much for just straight up metal I prefer metalcore or death metal but Slipknot have a few great songs and they go nuts on stage which is always a plus. Also R.I.P. Paul Grey.

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.

Rise Against are pretty mainstream dude. For a rock band at least.

 

[DarthFennec]

I liked them a lot when they were the only "metal" band I knew of, but since then I started listening to other artists, I don't like them so much anymore.

 

[Faulty Turmoil]

I Don't really care for them either way, but they do have some good songs, although they are one of my friends favorite bands.

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.

Haha! Thank you, you just made my day!

I'm glad I could. That video always manages to make me laugh- I can't imagine how funny I would find it if I actually listened to Slipknot in the first place. The band members laughing in the background makes the video for me.

I used to like them, then I got bored. Then, All Hope Is Gone came out. God that album sucks so much. They said the world wasn't ready for it...turns out, the world is, indeed, ready for it, and is already sick and tired of Fred Durst-esque ballads.

I used to like them alot when i was younger (teenager), but my taste have changed quite alot since then and now i have a much more diverse music taste. But recently i have got back into them (may be due to their bassist dying or something) and i have to been listerning to their music once again.

Their favourite song has got to be without a shadow of a doubt vermillion Pt 1/2 especially if you listern to part 1 and 2 simultaneously (that way you get the full greatness of the song due to the first one being a angsty fuel ride while the other being a heartbreaking depressing masterpiece). Vermillion Part 2 is also a good song to show people who think slipknot have zero talent.

 

[VincentMm]

It's good pop metal.
I like hearing it in the pub when I want to drunkenly dance.

 

[HigherTomorrow]

I prefer Slip-n-...

oh :'(

I lost it when he put on the hat

Can't stand them. Can't stand the entire nu-"metal" genre to be honest, which gives it the dubious honor of being one of only two musical genres I have absolutely nothing good to say about.

What's the other, as a matter of interest?

OT: Well I don't particularly feel strongly towards liking or hating them. I liked them a lot at first but since then I've gotten slightly different musical tastes. I wouldn't turn it off if someone else was playing it, but it's not lined up first on my playlist either.

 

[CK76]

I liked their first album.

 

[Soxafloppin]

I have found myself tapping my foot to some of there songs.

I've only heard there most popular songs i havent been interested enough to dig deeper.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

I perfer these guys:

[HEADING=1]+[/HEADING]


Accept for the prefer part, as I've never heard Slipknot.

 

[dragonslayer32]

i love them. their music it great to work-out to.

 

[Blackality]

I have no reason to listen to them since there is people like At The Gates, Arch Enemy and MESHUGGAH making music.

 

[JMV]

They're great for a nu-metal band. And that's an offense, by the way.

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

R&B.

Note that I don't mean to say that there's nothing good about those genres. just that if there is, I've never heard it.

 

[Sean Strife]

I loved them when I was in middle school... now I can't stand them.
