^^^^^Yeah they fuckin are metal. Thats the only genre really that has double bass and an assload of guitar solos. Yeah I love slipknot. And if you hate metal why are you on a metal forum?
Do you know that your a dumbass? like do you wake up and go 'wow im a fucking moron'? first off, slipknot would be what you call NU-metal, this is straight from urbandictionary.com "The boy bands of metal. A form of music with repetive and irratating riffs, deridable forced angst lyrics, bad singing, and an undeniable lack of talent. It is a trend among Hot Topic sheep goths, steroid addicted jocks, and 10 year olds who just have been introduced to MTV. The music is commercialized, fake, and mixes metal with forms of rapcore and bad alternative rock. Bands include Slipknot, KoRn, Cold, etc." youll grow up soon, my friends used to love slipknot to death and said they were hella talented, then they heard music that actually has talented musicians and apologize to me for disagreeing. metal is the only music style with lots of guitar solos? thats asanine kiddo, and others will agree )) that spinaltap had 2 bass guitars before slipknot, and were NOT metal. (joke for those of you who are mentally ill) no i may be wrong here but real metal is: stratovarious lamb of god pantera gravedigger sonata arctica meshuga
^^I agree with Lamb of God and Pantera but when I said double bass i didnt mean guitar, I meant bass DRUMS. And slipknot's new stuff is like that, but their first two albums were great. Especially the first before they were tainted with all the money. As soon as they made a cd without explicit content, it went out the window.
ill admit when i was in 5th grade my friend gave me selftitled and i gave it a few listens and liked it for a few weeks, but then i just realized how repetitive it is, how annoying it is, and how fucking fake the lyrics are. Dont give me this 'they sold out' bullshit. theyve always sucked and think before you talk because i know their first album well (which sucks hard mind you)
Oh, spare me. Stop trying to be a badass and act like you know everything. Undeniable lack of talent? Could YOU write the lyrics that Corey writes? I doubt it....you're too busy bitching about how you're right and everyone else is wrong because urbandictionary told you so. Seriously, you went through all that trouble of looking up the phrase NU-metal? If you didn't know already....then you shouldn't have wasted your time. It made YOU look like the ass hat. Forced angst? It's METAL, honey....Pantera has forced angst....it's called screaming into the microphone....you should try it....anything would sound forced. I've seen ONE video from Slipknot on MTV....that is Duality from their newest album. The new album blowed ten kinds of ass anyway. So, who gives a shit? You named LAMB OF GOD as good metal? Are you fucking retarded? Lamb of God is shit. Hot Topic sheep goths? Do you even know what the hell that means? My guess is no. Slipknot, Korn and Cold were the best matches that urbandictionary could come up with? Those are probably the top three most popular metal bands right now....the least they could do was name someone that not EVERYONE has heard of. Those three bands are great melodically and lyrically. Slipknot has slipped a little with this last album, but their old stuff still is the kicker of all that is ass. Stop thinking you're a badass fighting with 13-15 year olds....you're not. Go somewhere else and act tough, little boy.
ok kiddo, first off, I DONT LISTEN TO METAL, thats why when i listed those bands i said 'i might be wrong' Slipknot, korn, cold, NU METAL, i know what it means, i can name even more if it would please you, i just wanted to give a nice little definition, lost all the time doing it? your right it took me 3 days to look it up! wait no, i was able to do it (and write the post) faster then you probobly wrote that. have you even heard of meshuga? stratovarious?grave digger? sonata arctica? hammerfall? i have a few friends who are metal fiends so thats how ive heard of those bands, slipknot is NOT metal, slipknot is NOT talented (what 9 people? and their music is still unbearable?) if you like them go for it, but calling slipknot 'heavy metal' is like calling good charlotte punk. write lyrics like corey? ok. i cut myself everyday its the only way for me to live. for every drop of blood lost i think of a fuck you to those who are making me do this i hate myself i hate my life
Just because you dont like them doesnt mean everyone has to follow your opinions. Alot of people like them, which says that they are still popular. And they have to have some talent if Metallica had them open for them and have Joey Jordison playing drums to Enter Sandman. Oh and in Ozzfest. Just because slipknot isnt on your friend's list of metal bands doesnt mean they arent metal.
i said if you wanna listen to them go for it, i cant object to that, but im familiar with lots of metal music, and if slipknot is metal, good charlotte is punk, sublime is ska, matisyahu is reggae, and nelly represents the entire rap genre. oh and if you havent noticed, metallica isnt really full of the most intelligent people.
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAH! Kiddo? That just killed your WHOLE argument. No. Calling Slipknot metal is not like calling Good Charlotte punk. You're comparing a band that is the shit with a band that is shit. Giving a definition from URBANDICTIONARY is a waste of time....who gives a shit WHAT that thing says? And, I don't care if your friends listen to meshuga and grave digger, Slipknot is metal. Their opinion on metal is different from the music world....everyone hates someone. Stick to school, you have no future in the song writing business.
The men of Metallica are actually really intelligent. And, they, unlike you, know metal music. If you don't know metal, honey, don't argue with people that do.
metallica is bullshit, and this is a forum about slipknot. fuck lars ulrich! i used to really love slipknot, btu nto so much anymore... i guess iv just kind of moved on... their good metal though, ill give them that... the lyrics are pretty good too. they premote anti christian thought, and overal anti religiouse ideologies, wich i find good. correy tailors other band stone sour also kicks ass.
Wait...so you're saying hte only two band he listed that were metal were Pantera and Lamb Of God? You are fucking retarted.
Um I like Slipknot, quite a bit. They aren't a band, I listen to in my car and the like... but their shows are amazing, and fucking FUN. I saw them in concert thrice, and it was some of the best times in my life And everyone, stop being so anal. Different strokes for different folks MWAH! Peace.
