Full Version: Slipknot
The Tomb > Vile Pleasures > The Pit Of Zombies
tronics
Now listen. I'm as metal as the next bloke, and I don't usually listen to Slipcock, but regardless I feel that these two tunes are worthy of a thread. I heard Part 1 first, and immediately became a fan of it. Noteably the riffs during ~Carve my name in my face! To recognise~ but generally the whole tune impressed me and still does.

I heard Part 2 a few weeks after hearing Part 1, and I was stoked that they had decided to do a Part 2...especially an all-acoustic, more chilled-out version.


If you think they blow, don't bother posting. I'm interested to hear views from people who like the songs.
you-think-you-know-me
Great songs, Vermilion part 1 was a thrill to learn, and yeah that part has the best riff in the whole song. And Slipknot aren't that bad in all reality, depends on when you found them, how you found them and why you found them.

I have their self titled album, Iowa, and the Subliminal something or other albums. They were good, but I moved on to death metal.

Souless

CarveAndTwist
I like Slipknot. I really don't care what half of the population says... personal taste happens to be retardedly biased nowadays.

Those songs are awesome.

I have thier self titled album and Iowa, thier both not bad albums, I still listen to them sometimes, but I was pissed at them when they sold out and made Vol 3. Although Vermillion PT 2 isn't too bad of a song.
VILE
Slipknot is pritty bad ass. IOWA was a good cd. i have sublimal verses. the vermillion songs are pritty good. Before i forget is probibly my favorite.
SufferInTruth
Hahaha, you guys crack me up. Slipknot "sold out" when they made Vol. 3. Right.

Because legions of kids WEREN'T into Slipknot before then. Gimmie a break.


As for the original point, yeah, I love those songs. Best on the album.

It's also because they used those dreaded acoustic guitars. And had those terrifying harmonies. Sometimes people can't get their ears past the screaming.
CHRIS FROM MD
Slipknot are ok but they lack the backbone of true Metal or Death Metal. Maybe one day they will make a true hard ass album. They have to much screaming & most of there music has to many slow pop music breaks.So word to them just kept the whole album real bye making it hard & brutal thru the whole album.

I really don't think that any death metal fans need to complain about too much screaming.
tomatoefunk
I liked their first one alot. & never heard any of their other shit. Probably because other KIDS liked it. rolleyes.gif I will try to find these other songs your talking about, sense you all say they're that good.

Well, basically, Slipknot were never "true" or "underground", so saying they sold out is a moot point.
Mutilated1
Right. Exactly.

Thats like saying Ashlee Simpson "sold out" it just doesn't make sense...
SufferInTruth
I'm glad they made a change on Vol. 3 however, changed from the trend of DUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUDNDUNDUNDUNDN GRAAAAAGH FUCK EVERYTHING nu-metal that happened after their debut.

God forbid a band have a little change in direction and *gasp* some well thought out acoustic parts.

The other day I was smokin pot with some friends, and we went into a store, and there were cheap halloween masks, and I found one that looks like something that Slipknot would wear, and I put it on and sang "wait and Bleed" and a bunch of old people gave me werid looks.

Fuck Slipknot up their gangly asses. The music industry should have a sign on the door these days "Must be *this* lacking in talent to enter"....Those stupid Fuckholes.
Souless
they dont lack the total talent persay.....cuz its a lil obvious on most of IOWA they have sum....they just went agianst their vows to their fans and became "commercial" and bent over for the "MAN" thats all,no biggie .lol

rock out with ur slipcock out...lol
VILE
Slipknot isnt that bad. there IOWA cd is pritty fuckin kool

At this moment, a random thought of mine would be that I wouldn't care if twenty members from all sorts of bands (or even just twenty nobodies) did a super fuck of a metal band right now. I also don't care if they have to go behind masks (even to boost sales), cause there is certainly The Berzerker, GWAR and some very obscure band from the 80's (I believe they are called Infernal Slaughter or some shit, they did some crappy stuff) that've done the same shit. I also don't care if the band NEEDS TALENT. I don't care if the band drops to the pits of black metal OMFG TEY SELL MORE TAN 1 CD, THEY'RE SELLOUTS area... I don't care if they do soundtracks to famous movies such as Like Mike, any tween movie, any rap movie, any Spongebob Squarepants movie (god forbid), do any type of collaboration with that slut Avril Lavigne (yeah, she's a slut, they'll fuck her... on the note of fucking, fuck the stupid person on SomethingAwful that defends her, he's so anti everything, it's a stupid anti-trend bullshit factor he obviously follows through with, and I don't want to do anything with the JOKE but OMFG SO COMPELLING)... um, I also don't care if they're big on the internet, I don't care if they sellout, I don't care if they're locals from around here, I don't care if any of them have members in the band that used to "inflict pain" in my earlier years... I don't care if they're special education students, I don't care if they speak retardese and do the u, y, and all that other quick cracker ass bullshit... I don't care if they are horrendously racist, I don't care if they wrong every other retarded value everyone clings on... I don't care if they base their entire religion on God, Angels, Satan, Lucifer, fiction crap, or if they are just plain non-believers. I don't care if they fucked THIS MANY BITCHES, I don't care about getting laid... and I certainly don't give a flying fuck what anybody else says about them.

Slipknot certainly feels like that band. Anything above is a reference for my grand infinite wisdom related to sarcasm and thereof, and should not change anyone's opinion about anything. If I missed anything... um, yeah, I predicted that a mile away and I missed it.

And just to piss haters off... because you know, I'm fucking unpredictable...

fuck them! i used to listen to them when they first started, after the whole sell out bullshit, i can see why Cory Taylor went and did his own thing, he wanted to stop hiding behind the mask's of the band and do it the right way, but that was only one's opinion out of 10 laugh.gif
CarveAndTwist
Yeah... I don't care if that band fucks each other on stage, because I wouldn't see them live by any chance... laugh.gif Save for Disasterpieces, which happened to be a WONDERFUL orgy of a show. To see a bunch of men fucking each other would be hilarious... let us not forget GWAR's antics on stage (funny as well) as well as all of the other corny semblances that make black metal and other certain bands look TEN TIMES more pathetic (Hell on Earth *cough*, attempting public suicide *cough cough*).

Don't give them a title and don't give them any thing that would resemble metal in the slightest if it hurts that much (which basically, seems to). There's still going to be people around (like myself) that listen to Slipknot on a small basis of time; that don't really care about all of the shit around them of them ripping off of anybody, lack of talent and what not (meh, Testament? Whereabouts? Maybe more like a half-ass Slayer or Anthrax with a bumfuck of GWAR added in, add a little bit of Korn vinegar, rinse and repeat), and that can carry on with their lives better than a good portion of the other "fans".

Ah well, the hatred may also always serve as a grand excuse to hate the youth, which have no respect for metal as a foundation, and that tarnish the very history of it all... which is what Slipknot SEEMED to do. Hell, I don't read the words that they spout out, and I don't care what they claim themselves as (which doesn't seem like much now since maturity kicked in, but first impressions, you know...). A portion of their music is listenable, they seem to like death metal, they have an unoriginal yet pretty catchy gimmick... Corey has Stone Sour as a "not too bad" side project, and the non-Heretic Anthem / Surfacing / (whatever other anthemic song you can put in here) lyrics have at LEAST a LITTLE sentimental FICTIONAL value.

Slipknot basically came out at a good time, and once again, there's going to be people that will hang on to that at least a little bit.
