I think that with 9 people in a band you'd be able to make some better sounding music....but they prove me wrong. Only my opinion though.

I think that they have very unique guitarists. They do a lot of stuff that nobody has thought about.


Except maybe Korn, but they suck.

U dont listen to Slipknot for great guitar playing and meaningful lyrics. Slipknot is about powerful drum beats and aggresive vocals. Its more of an experience than music. But wait for Iowa. There is some real guitaring in a few of the songs on there.

I like them a lot. The singer sings about real stuff. The guitars have good sounding riffs(especially the old songs that are rare to find). But overall they are a good band.

Slipknot bites the big one. I find the only people who like them arent very adept in music, even if they play an instrument. (I could be wrong)
And besides, any band that carries themselves on freaky makeup or with a mask or some other image is junk anyway, or they'd use music not appearence to make it big. The only excecption I can think of to that is Kiss. They went without there makeup for the entire decade of the 80's.

Led Zeppelin
08-05-2002, 05:44 PM
All bands have images, Slipknot just happen to wear freaky masks and boiler suits as theirs.

Josh Redstone
08-05-2002, 06:04 PM
Yeah but I find that there are a lot of bands who are just riding on some stupid image. Theres a difference between doing the duckwalk or wearing a cowboy hat, and wearing weird masks and showing dead goats in your music videos.
I bet bands that depend on images as far out as that couldn't get by on just there music.

Slipknot is a highly controversial band, and whether you like them or not is a matter of taste. Personally, i like some of the stuff on their second album (the one before Iowa). HOWEVER: Some people here are claiming that they do not have talent! Well excuse me! You obviously haven't done yer homework! Their main drummer (Joey Jordison) is one of the cleanest, fastest drummers in the business, however he is merely "OK" compared to the skill of "lead" guitarist Mick Thomson (they don't really let him play lead, though...). Earlier this year, Total Guitar Magazine interviewed Mick Thomson and had him give a shred lesson (with plenty of sound clips on the Total Guitar CD, if I may add), and it f*cking kicked ass! His picking technique makes Yngwie look like Eric Clapton in terms of speed, and his sweeping technique is simply outrageous, climbing up and down the fretboard as much as seven frets! Give his fretwork a listen before you judge, eh? Besides, Slipknot don't sound like nu metal at all. They're only NEW, not NU!

Who said anything about talent? If they have talent they should use it in there music, not just in guitar lessons.
If Mick Thomson it half as good as you say he is I dont know why the hell he wouldn't play that fast, start a new wave of music or something. Who cares what the band thinks, they're not all guitar players.

Now don't start crawfishing Josh. I don't bash anyone for there musical preferences. Manson does not play music. They are a fading freak show. That's the only reason they are famous, because of the antics, not the music. Without the makeup and costumes, Manson is just a drag queen out of uniform.

Oh my...so dumb and uneducated boy. Schitnot is not metal, they are not rock, they are not good, they are not talented.
They do suck..Here is some talent for you boy.

Schitnot do suck, they make their 3 fans run amuck,

I think you've never seen me play guitar.
And I also think posting on this thread which asks you what you think about Slipknot lets you say you like them or you dont, thats what I did. I did not bash you for your tastes in music, I did not insult you, so dont disrespect me because I dont like your precious little Slipknot.

Matt V.

i never said that they were my favorite band or that im there biggest fan i just think that they are better than most of the disposible tenny bopper bands and are like a breath of fresh air from all of the other 99% of crap that pollutes modern music. and slipknot is one of the most respected metal bands. slayer are fans. ozzy is a fan. pantera are fans. they are good not great.

So I see that nobody here actually read my post about the virtuosity of several of the slipknot members. Then again, it seems as though nobody here really gives a sh*t, and are happier just insulting slipknot. You do that, while I go practice my Mick Thomson sweep arpeggios and eventually become better than all of you;)!

aiwass
08-17-2002, 08:58 AM
I agree with that, but there are people on this board who are saying that these people cannot play their instruments. I don't tolerate when people say that. What the f*ck would they know?! Each member of the band was hand picked for their skills. The singer (i think it was him) broke up something like four or five bands in order to start slipknot. What they choose to play as a band is something else. Btw, if I'm not mistaken, the band that mick and the bass player were in was a hardcore shred band. Nu-metal my ass.

maggot666
08-20-2002, 05:20 PM
i started playing guitar becouse i listen to slipknot. Mick Thomson is a guitar god and the reason he dosnt play as good as me can is becouse the record exec's say all of the bands fans are mallcore little posers. I heard that the next cd that will come out next year will have more heavy guitar.

iiholly
08-20-2002, 05:38 PM
If he doesn't play as well as he can... how do you know he can play all that good?

Josh Redstone
08-20-2002, 05:46 PM
Yeah, I think if guitar players have talent they should show it.

aiwass
08-21-2002, 12:33 PM
I know he's good because I've heard him shred. What you're saying is that if you don't shred all the time, you can't shred at all. Bullsh*t. Ever heard of artistic freedom? If a guy can sell a tennis ball floating in goats piss, and call THAT art, I think Mick Thomson can choose not to shred on slipknot records....

Josh Redstone
08-21-2002, 01:29 PM
Uh, did I say he couldn't shread, NO.
I said if you have talent you should use it!

aiwass
08-21-2002, 01:33 PM
Ever heard of MUSICAL talent? YOU may not hear it in slipknot's music, but that's a matter of taste, my friend. Musical talent is the ability to create good music. What's "good", you have to decide for yourself...

Josh Redstone
08-21-2002, 01:45 PM
We'll whatever floats your boat.
I just dont like the lack of lead guitar and horrible vocals. Then again, you probably dont like some of the bands I like.
If Mick Thomson can shred, fine, but if I were him, I'd do it on the records.
And while we're on the subject of musical talent, playing 20 notes per second is damn good, but can he do it tastefully? Not many people can. So artist shouldn't rely on speed to prove how good they are, speed meens nothing if it is done without taste.

aiwass
08-21-2002, 04:03 PM
Well said, man! It's like when you're listening to an yngwie malmsteen record, where the dude is playing like 15 notes per second, and all of it sounds like the same boring scale up and down, and then you put on a Shawn Lane record, and the speed is like 30+ notes per second, yet it's like the most profound, musically intrigueing sh*t you've ever heard! Speed is great if you know how to use it.

iiholly
08-21-2002, 09:31 PM
Not everyone likes listening to bands with people who shred all over their albums and stuff (like me). I mean it's ok sometimes, but it just gets tiresome and untasteful. There's no black and white in music.

Josh Redstone

Well for you Slipknot haters, the leader singer, Corey Taylor, and the lead guitar player, Jim Root, are playing with another band right now called Stone Sour that is more mellow, and has influences of Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam. Also the drummer and the other guitar player are both playing guitar for another band called the Murderdolls. Maybe you'll enjoy their softer side. If you wanna read more about it, then get the latest Guitar World issue.

Iīm a big fan of guitar play and thatīs why Slipknot and evry new metal band are out of question because they canīt even hold guitars and they sound is fake like Pamela Andersons brasts. Even punk players are better than them.

Some people say that they are orginal guitar players but who wouldnīt be with all those effects and s*h*i*t. I mean how normal is it to make your guitar sound like anything but guitar? And how honest is it.

Dejan Sajinovic
08-24-2002, 07:19 AM
How the hell can you say that Yngwie is a bad our boring guitar player. Just remember who brought real speed and who brought classical music into guitar play, it wasnīt Jimmy, neither Van Halen our Rhoads it was YNGWIE. For me heīs still the greatest player ever lived. Just listen to his sound, itīs so honest and clean it can be.

08-24-2002, 09:56 AM
Yea, well I don't think anyone cares about him in this post.

aiwass
08-24-2002, 11:05 AM
Yngwie ran out of inspiration after the Rising force album. As much as I love black star, his new material is so Sh*tty that it really outweighs the little good he has made. Besides, although I agree that he innovated in many great things in terms of technique, all he knows how to do is to play the same lame harmonic-minor scale up and down and occasionally play some sweep arpeggios. He might be a virtuoso in terms of picking technique and expressive vibrato, but I can't stand his songwriting. Plus, there are so many other players who can do what he does but better and with more musicality and diversity. (Michael Romeo and John Petrucci come to mind).

i agree withyou totally! although they scream in like every song they are still the only good new metal band out there and personally i looove the screaming, i droool over it. honestly alot of the guitarist in this forum are still hardcore into the days of the guitar gods/heroes where every songs "gotta have that KILLER GUITAR SOLO!! YEAH MAN"
those days are long gone. the only metal band that can pull off amazing guitar solos now a days is Fredrick Thordendal of Meshuggah, but thats a whole other story, hes better then ANYONE now a days and makes Dimebag look like the whimpy metal player that he is. and yes mike thomson is faster then Yngwie whatever the **** that guys name is. you have to be if you want to play that type of metal. and bout the drummer, hes more of a jazz drummer, i heard in an interview that he doesnt even really like metal all that much hahaha.. i agree when you say that Slipknot arent like the NU metal bands, they dont fall in that department at all. honestly try transcribing some of their work...its quite out there...and if they arent metal, then what kinda music is it?...yeah, i guess you could call it noise too, thats what it sounds like when you first hear it:D

I'm (over a year)older and hopefully a little wiser now...As a band i do not like the music Slipknot produce. However, more knowledge has come to light (the TG issue with Mick Thompson for instance). WHile I'd like to disagree with the comment comparing him to Yngwie, its just my opinion and i must agree with aiwass...he is talented (mick). As are most (if not all) of the other members... the corporate commercial bit is the producers and managers...they generally dont let the guys show their talent, and im sorry to say i havent heard the side projects.

I quite like some of Slipnots stuff... It's that wonderful sound, where guitar/ bass are set up to sound so heavy they begin to sound more like percusion, rather than stringed instruments.. It's like someone else said before me, it's an experience...
I love the agression, the blatant and frank (sometimes mindless lyrics)...
System of a Down, are my favourites really when it comes to heavy stuff.. but slipnot aren't bad. especially with songs like "wait and bleed", "eyeless", and "[sic]"... it certainly more intresting than fecking Bon Jovi/ Def Lepard/ GnR...

I really hate this backwards guitarist mentality that being able to play fast is the be all and end all of everything... that's just a load of crap (just some of my favourite songs "start me up", "Orange crush", "come as you are", "shelter from the storm" etc etc, have guitarists that cant bleeding well play faster than 15 notes per minute and it out wieghs the cheesy crap)..
I'm sick to death of hearing *low fast riff, rises, pinch harmonic, mid fast riff, pinch harmonic, high fast riff pinch harmonic, screaming riff*, it's just so predictable it's embarasing..

Like it or not, slipnot have added an idea/ aproach to thier music, which shredder couldn't.. Shreders put on leather jackets, and pink head bands *cringe*... Admitidly the newer lesser well know shredders are quite intresting..
bah, the hell with all this.. *plays "heard it on the grape-vine"*

(oh yeah, the thing that made me laugh, was that in the vidoe for "left behind", they try to depict a butchery as being putrid and frieghtning... oh well, i'll be disection bodies after christmas... I've already done some work, but no disction with bodies.. it's a wierd experience, I must admit..)

Josh Redstone
10-04-2002, 05:18 PM
I would rather listen to some leather clad shredder than a masked guitarist who tries to make his axe sound like a drum.

Josh: this is geniune question, and not a critisism..
Dont you find technically minded music flat and empty? Dont you feel you have the capacity to enjoy more than just a string of notes? Can you seriously enjoy totally artless/ conceptless/ pointless music?
I like SOME technical stuff, but it's all stuff like Zappa.. I mean, we've got the intellect to add depth to our music, to make it more than sound... yet alot of us are stuck in the rutt of making riffs, and that's it...
Take Tool for example.. thier music videos... I love what they've done, and it certainly makes for intresting veiwing/ listening...
Nirvana, Tool, Peter Gabriel, Can, Radiohead, Beastie Boys etc etc are examples of making music more than sound, it's really enjoyable, and can be quite thought provoking/ funny/ sad...
It's certainly a lot less of an insult to the intelligence than for example kid rock's, def lepard's videos...
I dont know maybe it's just me..

I just like music that involves a lot of complicated stuff like Jazz chords and shredding down modes. I find it nicer to listen to that just strait power chords.
I do like tons or other music, everything from classical to death metal, but I just dont like Slipknot, I suppose its the yelling and the same old power chords, and lack of playing lead. I guess its just that, I'm not the kind of person who listens to music for the message, or lyrical content, I listen to the instruments in the music, and as far as vocals go, I usually analyse a singers voice as if it were an instrument.

10-05-2002, 12:19 PM
Slipknot is the epitome of bad music, it's like listneting to a bunch of poeple that were given instruments and don't really know how to play them. Of course i know they have a little bit of talent, but their whiney ass lyrics about haitng their parents and life, and wanting to kill themselves are lame...bad metal, bad music in general...the band sounds terrible, their music occasionally has a good riff here and there but overall their songs are some of the most pathetic compositions ever.

I'm sorry, are you sure that's slipknot you're talking about? They don't have lyrics about hating their parents. They do hate people, in general.. All the judgement and stuff.. that's why they have masks and boiler suits, because they want people to pay attention for their music, not how they look like or how they dress.. Though many people misunderstand that.. but try to get some knowledge about slipknot before you judge them. They are the best band ever! but I respect that not everybody think so, we all have different taste in music..

Well, I used to say before that that Slipknot guitar dud sucked and that his guitar playnī was built on effects and sh*it. But now I doubt. Iīm mean, thereīs no doubt that Slipknotīs songs (guitar work) is just sh*it loaded of effects and stuff but I think that he actally is a good guitar player.

Hereīs the reasonj way. Zakk Wylde and Dimebag are planing to start a band that would be somthing like G3 and guess who the third guitarist would be. The Slipknot dud. Since Dime & Zakk are pretty equal and both on of worlds greatest, I canīt see a reason why Slipknot dud (notice that I donīt know his name) would be bad. I have not heard anything cool by him but Iīm sure that he is more than O.K. He also have a signature model of B.C. Rich guitars along with Kerry King.

PS. Greg Howe (one of fastest shreders out there) is now playnī with FIVE. Now, people who donīt know anything about Howe would say of course that heīs nothing extra but lots of people donīt realize that guys who plays with those famous artist like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen... are amazing musicans who are much better than some famous ones. Just think about studio musicans, man they are good. The know evrything man.

Just shredding doesn't pay the bills, unless your name is Steve Vai or Joe Satriani.

I'm not stupid either. But Five is like Backstreet Boys with less musical integrity and talent.

I didn't claim that you are stupid.

I think I made a very valid point. I wouldn't give a **** who hired me if I would get paid decent money to tour and play guitar. And I doubt Greg Howe cares much either.
