FunkyMonk Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I never said I hated them because they wear masks, I just think they look stupid and it turns a lot of people off that would otherwise listen to them. I understand the whole "fan-club" thing, I just think it's a little degrading to call yourself a maggot IMO. I wouldn't call all 9 of them "extremely talented" but , maybe 3 or 4, mainly being Corey, the two guitarists and Joey. I don't even know what those other guys even do really.They're not really my sort of band . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Sal Bug Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Isn't there 1 or 2 members of Slipknot that don't play any instruments on stage and just ..well Im not sure what they do, just Rock their heads a bit, and hit things with baseball bats?

The mask I wear brings out all the shit inside me that I hate. Plus it hurts like hell, which helps my intensity." "If you feel like talking, you talk, if you don't, you don't" “So many people are like, 'Gimmick, gimmick, gimmick!', Fuck you! You don't know what we're about! Our motto has always been, 'Music First.' Even if the masks and the coveralls weren't there, the music would still be good."source: http://www.opiumofthepeople.net/ootp/slipk...and/coreytaylor Edited June 18, 2008 by RickRoses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Flower Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 They write great choruses, imo. This new song is no exception. The verses are maybe a bit too frantic, though? I must admit, I like Slipknot is small doses. Big crunchy down-tuned riffs are my guilty pleasure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
