[damian 1200]

Trivium are shit although there first album Ember To Inferno did have some decent tracks on it

distortion isn't ruining rock, lack of creativity is.

too bloody right.

Slipknot are the biggest waste of records in the world... They need to stop trying to struggle with "authority" and smarten the fuck up. "LOOK! I'm a freak with a fucking clown mask on, I'm so fucking cool.... oh look at me now, I'm being "technical" with a guitar" *BANG BANG* thats what slipknot is, and thats all slipknot will ever be.

I can shit better music then this band.

GRRRRRRR!!!! My inlays say, "HATE"!! I'm so fucking metal!!!! GRRRRRRR!!!!

That shows how much you know, because slipknot isn't about i'm a freak look at me, or about fuck your authority.. it's about being pissed off because you're seen as a freak when you know there's nothing rong with you.. it's about teenage anger and angst.. it's about standing up and saying fuck you because you can't understand who I am.. fuck you for trying to make me be something I don;t wanna be.. it's about bein a fuckin man and not fuckin bitchin and moanin because your mom's a junkie whore or your dad was never around.. it's about something you'll never know about because you're a guns n' roses fan... it's about the fan's... it's not about what will the radio station's play.. and what will teh record companies think, and I hope I get an award and do a duet with Elton John... it's not always about fast.. listen to prosthetics.. a very slow mellow song.. or virus of life.. it's not about i'm a freak look at me.. listen to eyeless.. it's not always about hate.. listen to danger keep away or vermillion part 2.. I see alot of people runnin off at the mouth here who dont know what they're talkin about, and maybe before opening your cocksucker... you put down your John Mayer album's, try and listen to something alittle harder than appettite for destruction or even disturbed, and open your fuckin mind.. remember, if you can.. what it's like being a teenager and having all that anger inside.. and listen to the complexity of the music and quality.. slipknot's not going to deal with your crybaby nobody loves me why dont my daddy hug me feelings... so if you're a bitch then no, you prolly shouldnt listen to it..

and again, Slipknot's not about being fast.. it's about being aggressive, sure.. but they're not even almost the fastest metal band around, by any comparison, maybe yous houldnt pigeonhole a band based on teh opinions of your friends or a song or two you heard.. lisdten to a few different songs from a few different al;bums and get a feel for how teh band has progressed, because slipknot is a entity in it's self.. it's not even about the band member's.. slipknot is a band in every sence of the word.. the member's dont even like each other anymore and never hang out outside of the band but they stay together because of the music, and because of the fan's.. because when they trie dto break-up, the fan's cryed out for them to get back together, and so they did.. every original member, not well, ya know.. what you have here with GN'r.. they did it not because of the money or anything, othe rthan the music and the fans.. and from mfkr all the way until the latest album, it's always growing and always transforming into something different.. slipknot can't even be labled as a metal band in all honesty because it's such a mix of so many things... but you'd have to smarten up to see that..

hmm I do listen to music that has alot of teen angst in it, and they actually utilize alot of distortion, but they do it well, that bands called NIN.... btw, your whole post sounds like a struggle with authority.

what I mean is rebeling against what's normal, and being told that because you have a taste that's different, you're a freak.. I don;t see that as authority... thats what slipknot's about.. it's about being different and feeling ok about it... that's what i'm talking about... thats not authority... it's also about taking a stand against bullshit music, and bullshit pop artist who put out so-called music, and bullshit poser bands that're in it only for the money, and bands/artists who think they're bigger than their music, like Axl and Fred Durst... I don;t call any of that authority.. so... you tell me...

And you call Slipknot noise, but yet you listen to Nine inch nails.. ok.. thats just, techno progressive hardrock noise... I guess next you're going to tell me Marlyin Manson is better than black sabbath, and mutant's killed RFK..

Dude...I mean I love metal. But Slipknot just fucking suck. Got back together for the music? More like the cash.

And damian didn't you think Trivium were like the best band ever a while back? Looks like you've come to your senses...

[bluesy]

Distortion is alright when it's used right. When it's just idiots trying to fit in with the times, not knowing how to arrange melodic tunes, that's when it sucks balls like no other.

And yes, Slipknot sucks balls like no other. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

ok, if thats the case, then please.. explain to me, exsatcly how nine dude's split the money, and come out ahead after all the shit you end up spending money on in the process of recording and touring.. and then, after you figure this out, explain to me, why they rejoined a band that none of them like the member's, when they were all in othe rbands at the time, doing their own projects and not in need of any money.. please.. elaborate.. i'll be waiting for your response, so please, dont take too long....

And you can say slipknot sucks all you wnat, the fact of the matte ris none of you have probably given any of the music the chance, and are soley basing your opinion mostt likley on teh opinions of other's.. as I once felt the same way that the mask made them look stupid and it was all noise and anybody can do what they're doing, and my favorite was, Well hell, there's 9 of 'em, how can it not be badass.. but once you step away from all of that, the music is the best you're goig to find, and they're 9 extraordinaryly talented individuals, and when they're all together, it makes for one hell of a force in music... it's all very creative and elaborate... most of all the music is fantasy based and alot of it is taken from movie's, like prosthetics, about a butterfly collecter who wanted to collect something more, so he kidnaps this girl and keeps her in a dispaly. it's fuckin cool ashell... and like I said, if you just, I guess listen outside the box of what you call normal.. you'd be able to understand how genius all of it is.. but from what i've read, some of you lack the intellegence to do that, as you're close minded straight forward guitar solo's, let's turn the amp up, but not too loud, we dont want to disturb anybody pussies.. so no matter what I say you wont listen, just come back with the same ignorant opinions that your friends loaned you when they heard somebody else talk about it... not my fault... for anybody intrested though... i suggest youc heck out virus of life, disasterpeice, pulse of the maggots, (sic),, spit it out, no life, prosthetics or vermillion prt1 or 2, no matter which one.. alot of it is in your face fuck you i'll bash your fuckin face in.. but isn't that what metal is about? But alot of slipknot is very complicated, and you'll listen to it a dozen times and always find something you missed, from simple chains rattling at the end of prosthetics, to give it that, stalker, bound and gagged locke din a box feeling... or just small ambiences of breathing and whispering, psychotic laughter by corey.. or my favorite thing i've never heard from anyband, is the dueling vocal's in nameless, I know dueling vocals have been done before, but the style that it's done in this song is awesome.. if you want,c heck it out too, the nameless is an awesome song.. more for the adnavced fan, because you can appreciate the complexiety of the music and the story that they're telling.. it's fuckin awesome... get it live, it's better live.. and thats anothe rgreat thing about slipknot.. they're awesome live.. and the show is always worth it.. and you never get the same show, as the setlist isn't wrote until they get to the arena and do sound check, and then they all put in their openion's on what should be played and what they feel like playing... but I guess some of you wouldnt know how to act if you showed up and a band came on stage on time, or put on an actual great show that wasn't the same one they just did last night... and they didnt just stand ion place and pose for camera's and try to be cool with their power stances..lol..

[Ridin' the Nightrain]

Distortion sounds fantastic when done right.

Listen to good music if you think it's bad, because you're just listening to shit. Simple as.

Well sorry to keep you waiting...haven't checked this thread.

How they ended up coming out ahead by reforming? Got offered enough money obviously. Pfft other projects? Like MurderDolls? Murderdolls were better than Slipknot anyways. Again...probably reformed Slipknot cause they knew they could make a load of cash by doing it.

I will say Slipknot suck. And I can all I want because I've listened to two of their albums, and they did suck. You sound exactly like an unauthorized biography I watched on them a while back, a bunch of nobodies makin it seem like Slipknot are the best band in the world.

I could twist words to make it look like Nickleback were an awesome band too. Still doesn't change that they suck.

I listened to all of the songs you suggested. They sucked. Really bad. REALLY BAD. I wanted to turn off the torture after the second song (ok, I lied, it was much earlier than that), but I wanted to prove I was open-minded and my opinion was well-formed. These songs were just plain shit. I think Santana said he could shit better music than Slipknot. Well, compared to Slipknot, I am looking forward to hearing Santana's ass trumpet album. Ok, maybe that sounded a little queer, but you get what I mean.

Thats a matter of your opinion.. I could say i've listened to two NIN albums and they kick ass, it doesnt make it true.. see what i'm sayin.. it's a matter of opinion... asfar as being offered more money, again.. no, there was nomore money offered.. the money anybody from slipknot makes, is gone before it gets there.. and no, not just murderdoll's.. Corey and James Root are in stonesour, Sid is a DJ and has his own DJ group that he tours with, and the othe rmember's are credited with helping produce with othe rbands like marlyin manson and mudvayne to name some and many othe rprojects... so see, no, the money isn't the issue.. just because trent wont do anything without getting paid doesnt mean the rest of the music world is like that... and My words are the words of every slipknot fan, and we can't all be wrong. This is a band that everyone will look back on in years and say "goddamn that fuckin band was fuckin awesome.. they stood for what they bvelieved in and never backed down".. in all the years slipknot has been making music, their sound has evolved, but they never sold out, like many other bands I could name... and still end up winning meanigless awards without even trying... and if you want, we can bring record sales into this because if i'm not mnistaken, all their albums except MFKR have done exceptionally well.. and MFKR wasnt their finest work.. But it's amazing to see a guns fan, trying to cut on a band who is everything guns n' roses wante dto stand for, but couldnt.. the msuic is arranged like a guns album, it's all very big and elaborate, it deals with alot of shit at one time, and nothing is thrown together.. Corey's writting style is just like Axl's, in the way he goes on a rant at times in the song, and it's very straight forward in your face and very aggressive.. the music is alot bette rthan on a guns album... and there's no big ego trip's of "I'm slipknot and if I walk I take slipknot with me" kinda bullshit.. I think the only problem you have with them, is that they're bette rthan anyband out there, and sometimes admitting that everything you care about is and always will be second rate to a mask wearing "freak" who, a syou claim makes noise that sounds worse than ass noise.. bottom line, the facts are there, Slipknot is the best and biggest thing going in music now, and they're only around every 4 years... where as bands like NIN have to go on long as breaks and come back and try to start contreversy by picking on washed up hacks and leaving leaked tracks in the bathroom and making songs where someone is supposed to be getting murdered and all it is, is some really bad voice acting, so that hopefully you'll see he's a deep person with really cool idea's so look past his shitty thrown together music and pay attention to what he can do with a computer and synth.. oooh.. how badass.. why dont you go take it in the ass and leave the real music to the real bands...

I get that you wanna get close to a dude's ass.. and i dont wanna be apart of that.. like I said, sometime syou're just not smart enough to really listen outside the box... sometimes teh music is more than one person can handle, and thats not your fault, you were just raised that way... I think i've stated that this music isn't for everyone and IF you really listened to themn all, I know you're lieing because vermillion prt2, doesnt even sound like a slipknot song, and unless you're a protected spoiled little kid who's never ha dto dealw ith the real horros of the world, then you can relate to any slipknot song... and turning it on and saying "that sucks" isn't being informed, you have to listen objectivley, and not from the side that "I don't like this and you're not gonna change my mind and i'm gonna listen to it just to prove I don;t like it"... thats alittle retarded and you're just waisting your time and making yourself look dumber than you are queer...

I couldn't really understand why 9 of them were needed. And when I watched them on youtube, it looked like most of the time, half of them were running around the stage doing some sort of acting. I'm sorry, but when I listen to music, if there are vocals, I like to hear singing, not screaming, as a lot of it was. It doesn't even necessarily have to be GOOD singing, just singing. I'm sorry my intellect isn't up to the level where I can understand the jumbled words being screamed at me.

Sorry, it was actually Jack_the_Ripper who said he could shit better music than Slipknot. In that case, Jack, release your ass trumpet album!

yeah, hooray for tolerance! boy is foaming at the mouth to hear from your brown hole... The remiaing members that arent playing bass guitar or drums or DJing, are he percussionist... thats hwat those other drum sets are setup for... and Corey does sing, like I said if you would have listened to vermillion prt 2, or the nameless or any of them, you woulda heard him sing... and he also sings in stonesour if you havent heard them yet, you can always check out through the glass and zzyzx road.. or silly world... cardiff.. bother.. inhale, take a number (I think is a song about Axl Rose) or any number of stonesour songs if you like singing.. and like I said, in almost all slipknot songs, Corey does sing, as he has a great voice...

it's ok, it's not your fault your IQ is small, it's your elder's... and if u dont like slipknot, thats fine, as slipknot prefers to keep their fan base very loyal and to be able to understand their music, to relate to the music... not just listen, but listen and understand what it's like to wish somebody would put their hand son you so you could rip their heart out justifiably... you seem more like a stonesour fan anyway.. very mellow, almost elton john like... as a matter of fact, zzyyx road almost sound slike teh blues at the start... thats the great thing about slipknot, if you dont liek slipknot, just follow me over here cause he also have this... and this if u dont like it we also have this... see, thats how talented they are... they can do it all... and not just stuck to making one type of music like NIN or children of bodom..

[Desperado]

and not just stuck to making one type of music like NIN or children of bodom..

yeah right

do you think this sound alike?

In Your Face

Lmfao, You can't take that one song that doesnt sound like something they normally do, and try and compare it to their sound..lmao.. I listen to children of bodom jackass, all their music is hardcore fast paced I'm louder and faster than you metal... i'm not sure who you think you're trying to fool, but try again... I mean, thats like me syaing cradle of filh have a diverse sound.. compare her ghost in teh fog to gothic romance if you dont believe me.. yeah, that is true.. but what about tearing the veil from grace and gothic romance? Only subtle differences.. but at the end of the day, it's harcore fast paced i'm louder and faster than you metal, and it all sounds the same, please, try again though if you wish.. I guess next you'll post two napalm death songs and tell me they're different? or better, why not post a napalm death song, and say, a song by cream, and tell me they're both by dimmu borgir and show m,e how different the sound is... that'll do it..lol..

You just look for any excuse to post a COB video, don't you?

I watched some of their DVD a few Saturdays ago. It was alright. The drum solo was dull though.

I couldn't really understand why 9 of them were needed. And when I watched them on youtube, it looked like most of the time, half of them were running around the stage doing some sort of acting. I'm sorry, but when I listen to music, if there are vocals, I like to hear singing, not screaming, as a lot of it was. It doesn't even necessarily have to be GOOD singing, just singing. I'm sorry my intellect isn't up to the level where I can understand the jumbled words being screamed at me.

Sorry, it was actually Jack_the_Ripper who said he could shit better music than Slipknot. In that case, Jack, release your ass trumpet album!

yeah, hooray for tolerance! boy is foaming at the mouth to hear from your brown hole... The remiaing members that arent playing bass guitar or drums or DJing, are he percussionist... thats hwat those other drum sets are setup for... and Corey does sing, like I said if you would have listened to vermillion prt 2, or the nameless or any of them, you woulda heard him sing... and he also sings in stonesour if you havent heard them yet, you can always check out through the glass and zzyzx road.. or silly world... cardiff.. bother.. inhale, take a number (I think is a song about Axl Rose) or any number of stonesour songs if you like singing.. and like I said, in almost all slipknot songs, Corey does sing, as he has a great voice...

it's ok, it's not your fault your IQ is small, it's your elder's... and if u dont like slipknot, thats fine, as slipknot prefers to keep their fan base very loyal and to be able to understand their music, to relate to the music... not just listen, but listen and understand what it's like to wish somebody would put their hand son you so you could rip their heart out justifiably... you seem more like a stonesour fan anyway.. very mellow, almost elton john like... as a matter of fact, zzyyx road almost sound slike teh blues at the start... thats the great thing about slipknot, if you dont liek slipknot, just follow me over here cause he also have this... and this if u dont like it we also have this... see, thats how talented they are... they can do it all... and not just stuck to making one type of music like NIN or children of bodom..

this stuff is wayy off topic.....

I don't like slipknot.....

The bass isn't very powerful, and compared to the guitars, it's got a very dry, dead sound, why is there even a bass now that I'm thinking about it?the melody is being driven by the drums and the guitars,which are counter-balancing eachother in rythm, leaving the bass riffing somewhat(simple riffs though) out there, in time?yes adding anything?no

The guitars themselves aren't woven together so great, it's easy to hear who's less proficient,

and the melody itself is taking a large backseat

The vocals are set to three ideas, either spoken word,which while the emphasis should be on the lyrics, aren't very deep,or intuitive, or anything special, and the melody isn't very good

the regular singing:is a very limited range, someone took a book out of ringo starr's grand book of vocal melodies, only without ringo's humor, sarcasm, or anything that makes ringo's singing any good, the lyrics are some bad sooundgarden or alice in chains throwaways

screaming:was this even necessary??it's just blanketed the instruments even more, over one or 2 notes, the fact that it's being held long is impressive,the lyric depth over one word?nada

drums?Alright, spot on, there's something keeping this band together

dj:the hell?go away, your like gravy on a wedding cake,or orange juice in macaroni and cheese
