krissirge Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 "It's like a scary version of Kiss" - Slipknot are THE noise of the new millennium and what better way to celebrate by forming your own tribute band. Don't put too much effort into it as by following these easy steps world domination will be yours.1) Wear frankly ridiculous masks that are far more attractive than your own features complimented with a contrived stage uniform. Choose boiler suits - they are cheap and require minimum effort.2) Recruit as many friends as your have - nine should do. In case you fall short, grab unsuspecting victims off the street. And of course, musical ability is inessential.3) It doesn't matter if you can't play guitar, as the sound will be tinny and unrecognisable anyway. If you can't hear the bassist, all the better.4) Don't forget to add annoying DJ scratching over the top of said noise. Why? Who cares! The kids will just love it?5) Play the drums as if you are Animal from The Muppets, a sense of rhythm is not required.6) Tape approximately four minutes of noise and give it a title. It doesn't matter if you cannot reproduce the noise onstage, as fans will be too overpowered by your "madcap" live show to realise.7) Most important rule - get Ross Robinson to produce said noise. Why not jump on the bandwagon as everything Mr Robinson does is hailed as a masterpiece.8) Swear constantly throughout interviews and state how F**KING INTENSE everything is (even if you're a nice homeboy really)9) Make sure onstage entertainment is increased by getting band members to beat each other with some frozen cow heads, just for, you know, sheer delight.10) Congratulations, you are now Slipknot!* Mushroomhead were rumoured to have used these tips (or was it the other way round....!)

Fizz Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Actually, Slipknots guitarists are quite competent players. They just look like clowns though and the singing and the rest of it ain't really my thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santana Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 How do you find Slipknot shit when you like bands such as Mayhem and Cannibal Corpse?Ah-Thank you.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Some of the guys from Mayhem killed each other, or something like that. So regardless of their musical ablities or lack thereof, in the eyes of a TRUE metal fan, they are automatically the BEST metal band ever.

moreblack Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) yes Slipknot are awesome musicians. Kill all newer metal bands dead.I'm not a huge fan, but I respect that they are better musicians than a lot of metal bands out there now.

SofaKingWhat Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I never used to like Slipknot but one of my mates had a few of their albums. I listened to their newest one and was like "WTF? was that a guitar solo?, shit those guys can really play!"Got me into Slipknot, I wouldnt say I was a massive fan but when their songs come on the tv or radio, I'll listen - and head bang.

sabre Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I just can't get into music in which most of the singin is screamin no matter how good the music is. I appreciate not all slipknot songs are like that but it just puts me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman1987 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 "When I'm asked what do I think of a lot of the nu-metal bands that are out there, my response is that it seems really insincere to me. 'I've had a really shitty childhood and I'm really upset and I'm really ugly and I've put a lot of make-up on and I'm harder and faster and my voice sounds more like the cookie monster's than yours does'. To me it all comes across as being comical, as being a parody of itself."- god A.K.A trent reznor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumin Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Here are some more Slipknot rules:11.Do not attempt to sing. Scream instead. It sounds shittier!12.Only scream about maggots, killing, blood, hate, and sin. Kids think stuff like that is deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just look like clowns though and the singing and the rest of it ain't really my thing.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>They are, Mick Thompson is actually a very talented guitarist, same with Jim Root, they just happen to make shitty music. How do you find Slipknot shit when you like bands such as Mayhem and Cannibal Corpse?Ah-Thank you.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Some of the guys from Mayhem killed each other, or something like that. So regardless of their musical ablities or lack thereof, in the eyes of a TRUE metal fan, they are automatically the BEST metal band ever.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Death Metal, Nu Metal, and Black metal aren't the same thing. Believe it or not, Slipknot is not Death Metal, whereas Cannibal Corpse is. I am getting tired of people thinking bands like Killswitch Engage, Slipknot, and 36 Crazyfists are Death Metal.
