Outside metal one of my favorite bands is Slipknot. I really like it for all the ideology they transmit with their music and their lyrics, which I consider the best I´ve seen. The thing is, a lot of my friends bother me because they don´t like it for some reason, soooo I just wanted to hear your opinion about this band, whether you like it or not and why, and if there´s any other fans like me out there?

in particular slipknot are overrated, 9 person that can't equal motorhead that are in 3...
but they're milionaire... 9 assholes


i disagree with you, Lemmy has one of the worst voices i've ever heard!
and they are not too technicall either

If tehy are assholes just for being millionaires, I have one word for you rebelos: envy
And yes, Mötörhead are not too technical, and the voice... c'mon, even I can sing better than that.

So you don't like lemmy's voice, but others may say that he has a very unique voice. That being said, I hate to admit it but, from a technical point of view slipknots vocalist sings better than Lemmy. But that is just one aspect, I mean, at least Motorhead can handle their instruments, Slipknot can't even do that much.

then how they come and are more popular than Motorhead?
(i am not a great fun, i just like them)
the problem i think is that they solded out on their last album and
are too much MTV kids and i don't envy slipknot! maybe they have money but i have pride
didn't sold that too to become a milionaire

Obviously you haven't listened "Vol. 3 The Subliminal Verses" its way more melodic, more down to earth and has some cool solos. About Mötörhead, I'm not going to debate that, it is simply a matter of taste. And I don't like Mötörhead.

They are more popular because of MTv, yes. But they haven't sold out, IMO. I like the past albums, but this new one is really nice, is more mature, like I said to Arian. And it's not a loss of pride, they want to make money, and IMO thetre is absolutely nothing wrong with that. You just envy them because they are millianaire and you're not.

I don't care if they're sellouts or not, I hate when people use that as an argument for not liking a band (except Hammerfall, 'cuz they are extreme sellouts, at least here in Sweden!). I just don't think Slipknot's music is very interesting

Mick Thompson explains in a lot of detail how to play "Surfacing" onthe guitar in the new February issue of Guitar World magazine. As a matter of fact, the cover disc has a video of the man himself showing how it's done. If you're a fan of the first album, this is pretty cool stuff.

other bands are milionaire and they deserve it at least
in the last album they lost their unique sound... they were more Stone Sour than Slipknot
and that thing about envy is just stupid... around 213423453653456345 people have more money than me! why the hell should i envy them?

I don't know. But that's how it sounded like. But that is unimportant. Th fact is that if you say there are people who deserve to be millionarie, some of those persons are Slipknot: They fill stadiums, make awesome concerts, make cool albums...

And yes, you're right, they sound more Stone Sour than Slipknot, but oh well... Both you and I know they do it for the money.

Oh but please! It's Hammerfall! And since you are from Sweden you'll understand this better than others when I explain it: Hammerfall were guests at Lattjo Lajban, being interviewed by Molle and talked with Carolina Gynning in the "extreme metal" show Förkväll! They've also been featured in the magazine Okej!
It's possible that I overreact (it is as you said "just" a power metal band), but to see a metal band in a show for women aged 39+ were painful! Just awful

Well look at it like this : Its powermetal, its catchy , easy on the ear, powerful vocals, melodic etc etc... Its perfect for a large audiance to like them. So what if the "sold out" when It comes to commercial apperances. Their music has NOT sold out. The music is the exact same cheesy powermetal and have almost always been.

Now I can write a whole list of bands changing their SOUND when selling out and that my friend is maaaany.

PS: Sorry for offtopic.

Actually "Pulse Of teh Maggots" is a very Slipknot song, IMO. We must accept the guys are growing up as musicians, they are realising that they don't have to scream for everything.

PD: Sorry for the belated answer, I was traveling.

Im no Devil Driver Enthusiast but even I can agree with the dude above me. Becuase joey's capable of playing more than a simple beat AND being in a Overated/Mallcore/sellout band, he will get FAR more credit than he deserves. Hell 3 drummers that come to mind: Richard Christy( Former Death), Michael van dyne(Former Arsis), and George Kollias(Nile) surpass Joey greatley just arnt endorsed by over 5000 Lameass Franchises like Hot Topic therefore they wont be credited.


Slipknot is about as metal as ICP. Hell they're even lower than ICP, and thats pretty fucking low. They have sold 3 albums yet are as rich as bill gates...thats saying A lot. Lets Face it Slipknot are NOT metal, they are a fad for ugly overweight girls, and mall-enjoying Faggots.

Uh, that's not true. They may not have half the talent as most other metal bands, but they're still considered metal. If you can give me an intelligent answer as to what genre they are other than metal I'll retract this. But they are metal, nu metal, but that's still metal. I actually enjoy some of their stuff, yet again not as much as other "real" metal bands, but that doesn't make me hate the band.

Agreed, now im not saying Joey is bad, but like he said, theres so much better, after seeing john boecklin youll realize he absolutely rapes joey. And I can honestly say I havent met a single Slipknot fan whos been a fan for more than like a year or 2. they are a bit of a fad band.
