With recent comments being put up of questioning slipknots ability, theirs some serious false facts being made. The drumming technic alone adds creativity and intensity to their music, and any one who questions mick and jims guitar abilitys have clearly not heard the new album or any of their demo work. It takes alot of time and effort to create something with nine layers. It has been said that it is even orchestrated. No they are not higher than the likes of metallica or slayer, as without these bands we would be surely short of bands now adays. If anyone knows heretic anthem their is an angel of death TRIBUTE hidden in their. Am I wrong about this?

It takes alot of time and effort to create something with nine layers. It has been said that it is even orchestrated. those new "solos" are terrible terrible horrible stuff...and who cares about demo.If they had good guitar techniquies on solos then it just goes to show they watered down their material for the sake of pushing a gimmick of being "big mean masked metallers". I know that one of them uses a sweeping technique on one of them which is kind of impressive. However, If they choose to use those techniques they should learn how to pick out notes that fit. and not just hte only ones that their fingers can hit. As for the "orchestrated" comment...Just because some music is well layered and orchestrated doesnt mean its any good. Take a listen to any of those fucking Evanescence songs like "bring me to life" Layered and Orchestrated wonderfully but it's still a pile of shit And the samecan be said about some of the songs on Metallica's live S&M album. Orchestrated wonderfully with pretty harps and violins but still piss. take No-Leaf Clover for example.. And lets not turn this forum into a Slipknot war while everyone is gone to Wacken. Otherwise they'll get pretty pissed off and have to teach the slipknot boyos a thing or two about real metal SHIT!! I've just dissed the "KNOT". I've gotta run and hide before Corey Taylor and his lil clown and some 14 year old hooded hoodlums come to kick my ass and "Fuck my Shit up"

Oh...and before I go. Can I ask who MFKR is? Who felt the urge to set up an account just to come to the defence of their beloved Shitknot... damn typos. I mean Slipknot of course. Or is it someone already from the forum not wanting to tarnish their good name by jumping on the Shitknot (DAMN typos) gangbang wagon. Reveal yourself MFKR...If ya don't we couldn't possibly take your point seriously

Wow someone has far to much time on their hands. This was a mere comment to set a few facts straight, theirs better time consumption on the internet than no where going comments. BigHunkofManlove, is that man on man love? and thats not a typo.Your opinion is your opinion, but with Slipknot being the highest ranking band in Roadrunner Record history, having a number 1 in the uk and us (slayer being the only other metal band to do so) but hey yeah that musnt mean much . This is go no where situation so im leaving the topic at that. For as the identity, 'the nameless will only remain through the cycle'. My final thought though is metal rules and forums are for the sharing of knowledge of all things great and metal

You're Right... I do have far too much time on my hands lol 2. You're Right again. It doesn't mean much. Roadrunner don't have that many good bands anymore. Although I'm pretty sure Nickleback have sold more than Slipknot Chat positions mean fuck all dude. If the best album went to the top of the charts every week then In May of last year Deftones would have went top with their brilliant self titled effort...and not some stupid pop idol pish And the same can be said for The Mars Volta's Deloused In The Comatorium... Which could be one of the greatest debut albums of all time. That didn't go number one when it came out last June. Some piece of shit that noone will remember in a few years time did Lets call it quits. My opinion is my opinion and your opinion is your opinion. And plus... I'm much too drunk to argue anymore tonight And it's not Man on Man love for your information.... Unless your Mum is a man Just kidding dude.... QUits?

Haha the highest ranking Roadrunner Record band in history, what!? As if that's something to be proud of haha!! 1.) That label is fucking farce and is about as metal as the Post Man Pat theme tune. 2.) Since when the fuck did chart numbers matter!? Bob The Builder, The Telletubbies and Mr. Fucking Blobby went no #1 so what exactly is your point in that regard? I'm returning Roadrunner so I can express my extreme hatred towards them, that label is utter DISGRACE to the entire metal scene as a whole. Back in the good days we had bands like Suffocation, Pestilence, Death, Cynic, Deicide, Atheist - they were the breeding ground for such fresh exciting and above all brilliant bands... but what do they do? They sell out the entire metal scene and go for the big bucks $$$ and ditching every good band they had in the process. Sad (sickening) to see the dire tripe they pump out with clockwork regularity, even worse is that people seem regard it as "metal", my arse. You said it.

Ok guys. While I'm no Slipknot fan I will say each to their own. I'd make a longer post on this but I'm only back from Germany so I'm just going to chill.
But, if you want technical stuff that will kick the hell out of Slipknot check out Spiral Architect. That will kick the hell out of anyone.

now for my 2cents!!
Roadrunner is a money making scam, not a record company. Slipknot are fucking shite! i only call a band shite if they have no musical ability, if i dont like the music i say its not to my taste but Slipknot are shite! The only thing with talent is Joey Jordanson, im not going to argue that point. and finally, were they solo's on the new album? i thought maybe they were breaking their guitars a little to early in the song, they had to finish the song first!

Hang on hugh. Corey Taylor has a little bit of talent. I mean. The dude fucked an orange on a table in front of a tour bus full of masked gimpoids for a big glass jar full of quarters Pity there wasn't enough in it for a few decent session musicians

Wow a business is trying to make money... how horrible Hybridchild Sarcasm aside, Roadrunner are a bunch of money grabbing scum fucks that pissed their integrity as a metal label to the wind many moons ago (and yes I know they were great back in the day, read my previous comments in that regard - Suffocation et all).. They're even worse than Nuclear Blast and Karmegadeon Media (eugh) and that's saying something. - I don't care how much musical ability people think Slipknot have (which they don't bar their drummer) it doesn't mean they are: a) Most of all, a good band b) Good songwriters c) Have any integrity The usual defence Slipknot fans use is that they have a great drummer (they do, wasted talent if you ask me though) even if the rest of the band were virtuoso's in their respective instruments it doesn't mean the band are any good. Technical musical ability will only take you so far, it's only half the story, the rest of it is if you can write a good song, that's what it comes down to! A prime example of this in metal today would be Hate Eternal, Erik Rutan is a incredible guitarist - one of the very best there is in the entire scene. Derek Roddy is probably the best Death Metal drummer in the world... Sound good don't they? Wrong, they're utter shite, boring, generic shite at that because they can't write a good song to apply their wonderfull musical skills to. Which brings me back to Slipknot again, not only can they not write good songs they're a bunch of pretentious cunts, the lyrics they write is just pathetic teen-angst drivel - and from what a bunch of lads in their mid twenties? Please... Bands like Slipknot shouldn't be tollerated by real metal fans, there's too much crap boring music being lapped up by lazy metallers who won't go out searching for something fresh, original or interesting - I won't be one of them.

You know that Roadrunner has gone bad folks when you hear Corey Tayor bitch about how Roadrunner were pissing him off cos they spent all their advertising money on Nickleback. It was some stupid fucking excuse for not selling a lot of copies of Iowa after the initial release sales. "They were just pushing for the money" says he. Didn't Roadrunner do that when they first started pushing Slipknot?!?!?! I remember being a young lad and seeing advertisements and videos everywhere. I didn't pay attention cos the songs were shite. But sooner or later the ads in Kerrang and the Vid on MTV paid off cos legions of little bastards were wearing the hoodie and claiming to be DEATH METAL!!!! \m/ Nah... I must be imagining things. The Nickleback and Slipknot approaches have nothing in common
