How has slipknot ever become popular? To me they are a bunch of devil worshiping freaks. Who could ever like them besides devil worshiping freaks themselves?

WHaaa? SlipNot is just some losers in masks....they aren't even death metal, if you want satanic at least get some Satyricon or something



Are you a satanaphopic though?


Six Six Six! The Number of the beast! Hell, and Fire born to be released!


How did Slipnot get popular though? They. Is. Crap.

And their band is overpopulated!

They have become popular because doing 'freak' stuff appeals to people who have been outcast themselves, and because people like the shock-factor stuff that makes religious-types freak out.

I don't think they're a very good band though.

Oh come on man, Slipknot is soft. They're a bunch of wannabes as far as devil worshipping goes. I don't see that particular option in the poll...

Oh, I would have to disagree with that. Some of their songs are actually pretty good. I just don't understand why they wear those silly masks. :?

I will concede so far as to say that a few of their songs are okay--however not memorable. I'd choose Slipknot over Tool for example--but then again I hate Tool (yeah watch a hundred people will respond angrily saying that Tool is great Tool is good--why the hell do so many people like Tool? ). Slipknot I have no mjaor qualms with.

I've only heard one Tool song, the "Why don't the pieces fit?" song.

you are crazy Tool is great!

has anyone heard of a band called Mushroomhead

Damn I wanted a good old fashioned SlipNot lynching thread
*Slaps forhead and leaves thread forever*

Slipknot sucks.

Slipknot has a few good songs but the main idea is that they're apparently "a bunch of devil worshiping freaks." If they do worship satan than that's fine. It's legal in the U.S... as long as nobody gets killed.

Their music is good, especially off their self titled album.

I used to like them about 5 or so years ago. They opened for Machine Head and Coal Chamber. Not a bad live show.

However, I don't listen to them now. But back then I did not worship Satan or whatever else people think that others do because they listen to a certain type of music.

Slipknot I have no mjaor qualms with.

Really? I like them both. Slipknot is more of a fast paced band, while Tool is more of a moderately slow one. With Slipknot, you hear screaming and a lot of bass and guitar. I don't know about you, but I don't really find much "meaning" to their music. It's just basic screaming about how much they hate the world, which appeals to me only on some days. :wink:
With Tool, it's a more subtle kind of rock. They still have the same hollering that Slipknot has, but it comes to you in in waves, not continuously. I listen to Tool when I get restless of the more heavier rock. It's like a lunch break to me, but I still think they're much more badass than Slipknot. :P

Slipknot sucks, you want real insanity from guys in masks? Download some Bad Luck 13 Riot Extravaganza. These guys have trashed more bars and been arrested more times then GG Allin could ever dream of.

I like Tool. I saw them in concert back in high school. Same with a Perfect Circle. I missed the show they played here two days ago though.
They have so much more than most of the bands that have come out recently. Yuck! :x

Tool rocks, they are probably my favorite band. I saw A Perfect Circle a few months ago. They were also really good.

who the fuck is slipknot? (did i spell that right?) are they those two white rappers who dress up like clowns? i hate them too. i just listen to more lighthearted stuff, like catch 22, the pillows, bad religion, and weird al. :D

You mean ICP. Insane Clown Posse. :P

I think the general consensus is that slipknot sucks.

The white rappers that dress like clowns are the insane clown posse.

I hated them, and then liked them for a short while, but, they suck too.

YEs. And I'm so glad I left this thread.....



ooops.......



Seriously, there are much better bands, even if you like Slipknot you should be able to realize they are not that heavy right?.....right?

after a quick google search i hate them now.... almost as much as furries and ICP. :x

They are not real heavy, like Slayer or Six Feet Under. They are like a heavier Korn I guess.

or those norwegian metal bands. those are the hardest of the hardcore :shock:

Slipknot are the diet coke of devil worship. They only claim to be Satanist for the cheap publicity. The true Satanist groups are mostly from the motherland of Norway. Dimmu Borgir, Satyricon, Nargaroth, Mayhem, Burzum, Dark Throne, Emperor, the list goes on and on. Slipknot are an ok band but they are nothing compared to these groups who are actually good sound musicians and performers. All I can say is American metal is an utter disaster. :twisted:

Yeah I already said Satryricon \m/


But American Metal....some good has come...for me at least....Metallica, Metal Church, Megadeth, Testament, Iced Earth.....all at least some good material

Two words:

Killswitch Engage.


Listen to Dimmu Borgir's Puritanical Misanthropic Euphoria album or Deathcult Armageddon and you'll throw Killswitch out the window. I do, however, think that Slayer was on to something good back in the late 80s and early 90s...

They are not real heavy, like Slayer or Six Feet Under. They are like a heavier Korn I guess.

You mean bands like Shai Hulud?

look at my post. i read about this one band that ate one of their members! (no shit that really happened) :shock:


If you're referring to Mayhem, that's an unsubstantiated claim. Their former lead vocalist Dead shot himself in his home and the other members Euronymous, Necrobutcher, and Hellhammer found his body, this much is true, from there on out the story tends to get a little hazy. Some said they boiled his brain and ate it. This has never been proven however. What WAS proven was that they took a picture of Dead's body and used it for the cover of their album "Dawn of the Blackhearts" look it up, I dare you. They also took fragments of his skull and made them into amulet-like necklaces and sent them to various members of the Norwegian metal community. For what it was worth, Mayhem at least weren't a group of over-paid posers. They truely lived Black Metal...the unfortunate part is that it killed most of them...Euronymous was later stabbed to death by their replacement bassist Count Grishnackh...who is still in prison in Norway right now.

three years of reading lovecraft scared me away from anything that might have something to do with satan, or black magic. i had a friend who liked that though, and ive read some stuff on b0g about some norweigian bands who do some really fucked up shit

All I can say is American metal is an utter disaster. :twisted:

Two words:

Killswitch Engage.

Okay I gotta agree with GB... it is... It truly is... there are only a few good US metal bands... Well okay a little bit more than a few... but still too few.

Secondly I personally hate Killswitch Engage and other modern American thrash metal bands... They seem to all sound exactly the same nowadays.

Probably the scepter of horrible modern metal in my opinion is Fear Factory. This is just my opinion, so please don't flame me.

Lastly, notice that no one said that they didn't like Tool besides me... Notice that I was right in my prediction that there will be plenty of people saying how much Tool rock and how great it is. Even the hardest of the hardcore death metal people, I often find saying that tool is okay. What the hell am I missing there? Seriously visit any metal forum... should one member mention how he doesn't like Tool, you'll find a hundred cogent replies refuting that assertion. Any other band and you're bound to find some support.

I don't like tool

Shai Hulud are a new school hardcore band, they're American as far as I know.

They fit in with Norma Jean and Poison the Well, not Satyricon and Mayhem.

Satyricon aren't, they're right leaning, and Nationalists, but not as far as Varg and the guy who murdered the gay guy in Emperor.

I've always hated Tool and I don't like APC either (same damn thing, I know).

I'm not exaclty into any one kind of metal I enjoy anything from Pantera to Meshuggah to Coal Chamber. I don't think there's a "right and wrong" to metal, it's all personal preference.

They're not really into devil-worship. Just for those people who actually buy into a gimmick. :roll:

They aren't, Norma Jean is way harder then them. So are combatwoundedveteran, Dillinger Escape Plan, Union of Uranus, stabyouintheheadandeatyourfaceoff, Nausea and lots of other bands.

Excellent!

I too enjoy almost any kind of metal... I have listened extensively to heavy metal, death metal, power metal, a bit of doom and goth metal, and a little bit of all the other ones...

I do love all sorts of metal.... I'm not particular to thrash metal... since recently it has been perverted too much by too many bands who sound the same.

I'm nto saying that there are no good modern metal bands out there... there are quite a handful... it's just they are hard to find...

we started getting this channel on dish networ, Sirius Hard Attack, and also Sirius Buzzsa classic hard rock, that are pretty cool

Those are speed metal, thrash is an offshoot of hardcore, think bands like Stormtroopers of Death, Suicidal Tendencies, Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, stuff like that.

Thrash is punkier sounding then metal, but heavier then old school hardcore. It's closely related to speed metal, but not the same thing.

Not that much... I have read some of Lovecraft... not nearly enough... the problem is... I've found some stories sounded the same... so I kind of abandoned reading one of the collection of his short stories... The ones that were different were really good... I might come back to reading Lovecraft... but only after I find and read ario Puzo's The Godfather...

oops, i think i did that wrong :shock:

Devil worship has it's merits, but slipknot?

"It's a long, long rope they use to hang 'em soon i hope; and i wonder why this hasn't happened, why, Why, WHY!?"

cthuluthu? pfffft. i'd rather hang myself with my own entrails than face that horror from beyond

What'd ya think of them?

Strapping young lad
Finntroll
Bronx Casket Company
My Dying Bride

Yeah what's great about them is how they can vary their style so drastically from song to song... Its not something I see often... One of the reasons I like them...

Slipknot is very mainstream. I do not like them at all, too simplistic for me. Mayhem are the true pinnacle of satanic metal, they're one of the most extreme norwegian black metal bands. The best one is Emperor, though. Enslaved is good too. Dimmu Borgir are also quite good. Zyklon is another one worth getting into.

Name sounds familiar I might have hear of it on Snakenet radio...

If I did I probably didn't like it much... But I'll keep that name in mind...

If you haven't listened to Finntroll I gotta say they are one of the most original metal bands I've heard... Death metal polka... or thats what I like to call them... they consider themselves black and folk metal apparently... Interesting sound to them...

Finntroll \m/ love their every album.
If i had to categorise Finntroll, i'd have to say it's "Black Folk Humppa Metal". (Humppa is a Finnish variation of Polka ( :P )) And yeah, they're a Finnish band even though they sing in Swedish. Damn this bilinguality *curses*.

And if you really like Finntroll, you should also get the Visor Om Slutet -album, an experimental acoustic album. :twisted:

Woah woah... I didn't say I really love Finntroll... I only started listening to them.... and so far I like what i hear... although I understand zero of the lyrics... well it doesn't matter... If I can listen to Cradle of Filth and not understand a word of it... I can listen to Finnish...

Blood Duster Rule they're my favourite band and on the topic of skipknot they're a bunch of pussies.

Thrash Metal is good, just listen to um....good thrash metal


Testament, Metal Church, etc

Those are speed metal, thrash is an offshoot of hardcore, think bands like Stormtroopers of Death, Suicidal Tendencies, Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, stuff like that.

Thrash is punkier sounding then metal, but heavier then old school hardcore. It's closely related to speed metal, but not the same thing.

Okay in that case I don't particularly listen to thrash... My mistake... metal is difficult to classify at times...

It's particularly hard to classify if you listen to that Soviet person... The bands he's atlking about are crossover. They're closer to hardcore than most thrash bands, but to say Testament and Metal Church aren't thrash is clueless.

Finntroll amusese me.....





* Plays accordion*



and Strapping young lad is pretty good, I haven't heard a ton of them but what I have is good

who the f--- is slipknot? (did i spell that right?) are they those two white rappers who dress up like clowns? i hate them too. i just listen to more lighthearted stuff, like catch 22, the pillows, bad religion, and weird al. :D

I love catch 22. :D

I love catch 22. :D

a well deserved w00t for catch 22 then. i just discovered them recently, but their already one of my favorite bands :D

slipnot is not satanic. what kind of idiot thought that one up.
they'd be the kinds of satanists who just ran around claiming to be satanists and killing animals instead of actual satanists. not that i think they ever claimed to be satanists... stupdi christians who go on about how metal music is evil and they all worship the devil.

btw, slipnot isn't terribly good. they're not so terrible that i want to cover my ears or make a mad dash for the radio dial when they come on, but they don't interest me.

Slipknot are not satanists. They're people who love thier music and well seem to be doing ok for themselvs if you notice that. Seeing as they are one of the most well known bands in the world for rock, metal and extreme music they're cant be that bad!

DUALITY!!!

Listen to Dimmu Borgir's Puritanical Misanthropic Euphoria album or Deathcult Armageddon and you'll throw Killswitch out the window. I do, however, think that Slayer was on to something good back in the late 80s and early 90s...

I just heard Dimmu Borgir's " Hybrid Stigmata" on ChronixAggression, and I'm quite impressed. I still won't throw Killswitch out the window though. :P

Just being famous does not make a band good. Examples: Hanson, Britney Spears, etc.

Slipknot are not very extreme at all, really. They're a boy band compared to actual extreme bands such as Mayhem, Dark Funeral, etc.

The terms "thrash" and "speed" used for metal are near interchangeable. In my area, such bands as old Metallica, Slayer, Testament, Exodus, Vio-Lence, Forbidden, and Megadeth are usually referred to as "thrash metal" the term "speed metal" is almost never used.

I dont really care for them much :?

Who cares if they're devil worshippers? Everyone's entitled to worship what they please.
