i dont think Slipknot are overrated. sure lots of angsty little turds got into them because they have masks and that makes them seem "hardcore" to some sad little 12 year olds. i still think Slipknot is one of my favourite albums in the last....long time.
and stone sour are good, but i dont think it could ever make the impact that slipknot did on the music scene. and yes, MuDvAyNe are cool, but i dont think they made the impact of the knot.
it's all for show, how nieve can you be. Dillinger escape plan, that is the 2nd most talented band i have ever heard. MIND BOGGELING.
the drums will be playing 5 beat 6 beat 5 beat 7 beat back to 5 beat again, and the guitars will be like 4 beat 3 beat 4 beat, and they seem to sincronize it all into one some how, amazingly fast guitarist!
Say what you will about them, 2 things stand against you're negative statements though..
1. Their main drummer is very talented, everyone else can eat pig shit for all I care, but that drummer is one of the speediest little bastards around.
2. They put on one hell of a show, comparable only too slayer and pantera, the amount of effort they put into getting the crowd worked up and excited is comendable, and should show that they actually have some passion for what they do, which is more then you can say for most other bands as popular as them.
Slipknot isn't meant to be the deepest or most thoughtprovoking band out their, they are just their for some good, heavy, generic beats.
well basicly their music sucks, u can't liten too that kinda music for long if u do, you'l end up with a headake, u can't listen too them while you are drinking, gets u in a bad mude, the siger forexample is that a good voice he has, let me gues NO!!! the drumer play too fast, the guiter player plays no cool solo, the dj sucks too, don't ask why cause he just sucks, THEY SUCK SHIT OUT OF THE TOILET!!!
i dunno i think there cool. Joeys a wicked drummer, and while people may complain that Mick and James may not play solos they are still two very talented, if you listen to Stone Sour you'll see how good James is, and in their next album there getting into the solos and stuff like that.
and yes they do have a wicked live show, their Disasterpeices DVD proves. its a pisser when Sid starts punching people in the crowd. their new cd is going to be more made for them. their first cd was made for the fans, made to get peoples attenetion, the second was made with them flexing their muscles and trying things out. their next one is them doing what they wanna do
yeah Iowa really blew. self-titled was average id say, but Wait And Bleed is an all time classic metal song. as ive said before, Slipknot performing that song live is an amazing experience.
the only prob with Slipknot is that they often waste Correy's voice. he raps too much with em. like on Spit It Out. its just a pointless song.
