The Official Slipknot Thread

Psychosocial is meh at best

has anyone else heard their very first release, Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.? it's pretty different sound from their later releases and isn't as talked about among Slipknot fans as it should be.

Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat was a surprisingly good album, I heard it right around the time I read a .pdf version of Werewolf: The Apocalypse which is what a good portion of the album is based off of. I might need to give it a listen again soon, it's been years.

I have Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat but I never thought much of it. To be honest I actually really liked Slipknot when I was younger but now their music is just boring, lame and talentless to me unfortunately. I still think Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses) is their best release and even that album just doesn't do it for me anymore.

The only songs i will listen to are Before i forget, Wait and bleed, Vermilion, Left Behind and My Plague. I don't like Slipknot much, it's just too boring.

wow they must have been big Mr Bungle fans! the rap in that second video was pretty excruciating.... you can't deny they Slipknot have alot of talent between them though, the last new song i heard by them was 'duality' which is about fifty albums back now i'm sure, it was a guilty pleasure from when i thought i was above popular metal-type stuff.
Honestly it saddens me to see all these 'reformed' fans distance themselves from their old favourites, i finsd that this is something one often does when broadening your musical horizons and discovering new pastures, only to return to the source later and re-evaluate it, sometime appreciating it more. As jackhammer said you can do alot worse than Slipknot

I ****ing hate that the song 'Purity' had to be taken off their first album.... I love that song.

Sophiesmom · 11-16-2010, 03:51 PM

I love love love Slipknot so much. I remember when they first came out and I was just small. My brother would let me listen to them when mom was not around

I can't stand Slipknot. They're another plague of the nu metal genre. I don't know how anyone could take a band seriously that hides behind masks. These guys appeal to little kids between the ages of 10-13. They think since these guys are wearing "scary masks" and "swear a lot" that there "BrOoTaL!!!". Way back when in middle school I remember a ton of people were obsessed with this band when they came out. Then in highschool the majority of the people that enjoyed there music were 15 year old kids. I never met one Slipknot fan 18 years or older in person. There music is horrible to say the least. Corey Taylor's vocal's go to very poorly immitated grunts and growls one minute and then usually when the chorus comes in he starts singing these clean unusually poppish vocals. To say the least his vocal style is a mess. If I could get a dime for every time a Slipknot fan boy ****es themselves to the name of Joey Jordison claiming "hE's ThE bEsT dRuMmEr EvEr!!!" I'd be a very rich man.

Joey Jordison at best is a very mediocore drummer a lot of people fail to realize that he's accompanied by Chris Fehn and Shawn Crahan banging on there ****ty trash cans doing small fills for Joey Jordison throughout there music. A lot of Slipknot fans also fail to realize that about 1/4 of the drumming there hearing are those two losers on the trash cans. Jim Root there guitarist has been on guitar world. This is the most absurd thing ever. His playing is very ****ty. He's arguabally one of the worst guitarists in the "metal" genre, if you could even call this band metal. I don't particularaly play guitar, but some times I dable knowning how to play power chords and bar chords next to no talent what so ever. Just out of curiosity I looked up Slipknot's guitar tabs and learned how to play a handfull of songs. A talentless dude such as myself could pick up the guitar and play there guitar parts for there songs he has no talent. Also why do a lot of Slipknot fans like to be called "mAgGoTs!!!"? They do realize that every time Corey Taylor is yelling at them and calling them "MaGgOtS" he's literally calling his fans pieces of ****. And for some absurd reason they take that to heart. There proud to be the **** heads of society. No joke, if Corey started calling his fans **** eaters most Slipknot fans would wear that word on there sleeve and would love to be associated with the **** eaters. In conclusion this band is maybe one of the worst bands. I can't stand there music. If anyone here enjoys there music that's perfectly fine just don't be shoving that **** down my throat and we'll be alright

I think I'm done ranting now so "StAy SiC ****HEADS!!!!"

I'm not going to argue that Slipknot are a good band, but they are an introductory band for kids, fisher price metal. The reason you never see ones who are over 18 is because by then they've moved onto better metal bands who they may have never discovered if it wasn't for Slipknot. While I will bitchslap some noob who says Slipknot is da best band everzzzzz, I'm not going to deny Slipknot's importance to metal overall.

I don't like their music but who cares if they wear masks? I can definitely name a few good bands that wear masks.
