Have you ever heard a Slipknot fan comment on the music?Ive never heard from the mouth of a slipknot fan "man thats a sick riff"...Ive heard "There awsome","they rule","they own","corys hot" e.c.t,but nothing to do with there music.

Can you say baaa baaa sheep?

The Intro Riff to Spit it out is pretty awsome. :)
The Drums in Purity are crazy.
How Prosthetics builds up ends makes it a great song.


There a Fan, and guitarest that commented on there playing, which might be super technical(Although Mick and Jim have both been known to be very good guitarests) but they can make it sound good.

about not sucking cus ppl buy albums ...
 

mmm britney spears and the lot sell more records cus theyre easy to listen to
painful if u have my ears.

yes everyone is entitled to an oppion but sales doesnt make a good band.

they sell cus theres a market and taht no good for music
check out jazz failed in the market but great music

I don't know if these points have come up in this thread - I don't have time to check right now, if so, I appologize for being redundant.

Now, onto the post:

1). Since the Backstreet Boys sell more records than Slipknot, they must be better, right?

2). Yes, both of Slipknot's guitarists are talented enough musicians (they've both been in Melodic DM bands). Because of that, it strikes me as somehow worse that they play music as overtly dumb as Slipknot's.

worst part about slipknot(besides the music)is that they openly addmited to doing it for the money.You know when you see a slipknot fan...an angst attitude and foul mouth that seems grossly fake.They defend slipknot as the best band ever,have all the posters,shirts,buttons,coffee mugs,rag dolls,pens,traper keepers,tampons e.c.t and disregard all other music.
There very much like teeny boppers...actually alot of them are!There hardcore at 10+ years old!

Where the flock goes no one knows!

Every Rock star dose it for the Fans ;) lol, the millions of dollars that come with it, ya, thats nothing,....for the fans!

Nah, Slipknot write their own music, and it sells millions of records, therefore they obviously have talent.

Whoever writes the Backstreet Boys songs, I believe one of the members writes them plus probably proffessional songwriters, is obviously talented too if they can write catchy songs people like and buy.
