Like the hormonally charged followers of Bieber and Gaga, Slipknot fans can be incredibly intense as accurately illustrated in the "Duality" video below. Over their year career span, the band has been listed as the sole reason for saving countless teenagers lives to inspiring high school killings and everything in between, but superfans usually represent one extreme point on a wide spectrum of consumers. In terms of mainstream artists, the spectrum of fans is rarely limited to one bonkers woman with the same tattoos as Harry Styles—everyone in the music industry gets involved.
Linkin Park? Yeah, maybe that one album. LOL, good one. System of a what? Slipknot, however, have remained a constant fixture not just in our collective musical memory, but in the charts. So, just how did Slipknot succeed where others failed? Why did they alone survive the rise of the skinny jean? If you're already a lifelong Slipknot fan, you're probably rolling your eyes at me, and that's fine, I deserve that.
And if you're one of those super cool tastemakers and you're rolling your eyes at me because you were right all along and Slipknot still suck, sorry grandpa!
But if, like me, you like heavy music but wrote Slipknot as off as just another nu metal band at the time, you might wanna rethink your stance on Iowa's most popular mask-wearing band to ever have a member named Clown. Over time, it's become clear that they were and still are a unique, trailblazing band, and one that would appeal to several factions of heavy music fans. Like Deftones and System of a Down, they're one of the best nu metal bands because they don't fit neatly into the genre at all.
Their music veers into all kinds of different territories, from punk to industrial to psychedelia, and fans of any of those styles of music should give Slipknot a chance if they haven't already. And there's no better time than the present to do that, because is shaping up to be a major comeback year for Slipknot. They're celebrating two major anniversaries this year: their career-making self-titled debut turns 20 in June, and their best album Vol. Their first album in five years will be out this August, and going by lead single "All Out Life," this album might be genuinely good and it's already gotten hype from non-usual suspects like Vulture and The FADER.
It's not uncommon for a band to get re-evaluated long after they've stopped making great music, but Slipknot never really did stop.
Even if their last true classic is 15 years old, followup albums All Hope Is Gone and. And "All Out Life" suggests they could have yet another very major album on their hands.
It sounds like it could've fit on Vol. On top of all that, Slipknot are embarking on a lengthy tour this year, and the openers are two of the most respected metal bands of the past two decades or so: Behemoth and Gojira And in they toured with modern metal's most critically adored band of all, Deafheaven.
Whatever people say, they don't suck. Joey is an amazing drummer and Corey is a fairly good vocalist, although his voice has deteriorated. Mick and James No. They aren't like your average nu-metal band who always play about five drop-D power chords every song.
Listen to some of the solos on Vol. They may not be the best, but they are good. To the lovers: Slipknot are not death metal. If you want that, listen to Deicide or Cannibal Corpse. Nor are they the best band in the world.
No band is, it's all down to opinion. Also, calm down and stop insulting other people's music It's really annoying To the haters: Slipknot don't suck. They didn't sell out. They aren't about money either. They were all playing in local bands for years before they made it big with Slipknot. Note that they have no reason for saying this other that "'coz they are.
A rock band that consists of 9 members. Slipknot refer to themselves as simply metal. Some people even go so far as to say Slipknot is untalented which I could say about probably half of the bands or music groups that they listen to.
People often say Slipknot fans or maggots are musically-tasteless mallcore kids , but some fans are just normal teenagers that happen to like Slipknot's music. Also, detractors of Slipknot's music will say all that it is is screaming, even though they've never even listened to Slipknot's music themselves.
Slipknot also has a lot of talent. Corey Taylor's vocals can range from aggresive screaming to melodic singing. Joey Jordison is one of the fastest drummers on Earth or at least in the US.
Slipknot is a really great band overall. Of course, if you're some stupid-fuck that claims Slipknot sucks and yet you haven't listened to any of their music, or you can't handle aggresive music than I guess Slipknot isn't for you and you aren't Slipknot-worthy. Some of the fans also claim to be true maggots but actually have only heard of their more popular songs i. Slipknot hater : Aw, man, Slipknot sucks!
All they do is scream and worship satan and they suck and got no talent, man! They are wannabe-metal and wannabe-goth, man! And all their fans are poseurs!
Maggot: You asswipe! You haven't even heard of any of their songs, have you? Also, true fans don't have to dress a certain way nor should they care whether Slipknot is metal or not!
So fuck off! Slipknot hater: Uh, I think I heard like uh this one song by them, like uh
