Maggot Or Not, Slipknot is one of the best bands alive today. An I am a maggot, And yes, I heard Wait And Bleed Aswell.. And It got me started. And the people say about Mush-Room Head Started the masks.. Ok maybe they did, but they dont exist anymore, well according to the maggots, I mean, Mush Room Head or Slipknot? Ok that was my rant. All you maggos, HELL YEAH! Here comes the opinionated so and so | Reviewer: Luke | 6/8/06 Yes, Slipknot are good, they have some class songs, they are slightly comnmercialised but in the end does it matter if the media intervene or contribute towards a band's coverage?. Answer me these questions, if you enjoy music so much, is it worth giving bands genre based labels? I don't think so personally. Is it worth throwing your toys out of your pram when someone says they do not like Slipknot? Again, no I don't think it is worth the time, effort, arguments and/or frustration. Don't get me wrong, everyone is entitled to freedom of speech but it doesn't mean an opinion that is differing from someone else's doesn't warrant a pathetic e-quarrell does it? People should learn to be accepting of other people's opinions and get on with it, if you cannot accept other people's opinions then I suggest going back to primary school, or at least keep a lid on it. The world is hostile enough as it stands, we don't need the internet, a medium that creates the opposite feeling, to go down the crapper do we? As it only spoils people's fun and enjoyment that is attained via surfing the internet. Rant over. Back to Slipknot. How they can function well being a nine piece band is beyond me but they do deserve credit for it. Even if they quit tomorrow, for grinding out 4 albums (excluding EP's) they deserve credit of a considerable amount as it is surely no easy achievement. This is lame | Reviewer: Jeff | 5/27/06 Children of Bodom are about as much Death Metal as Culture Club. I suppose it's easy to see how simple vocals can fool people, though. They're more of a melodicized Speed Metal band, with some Power Metal influence, and VERY LIMITED traces of Death and Black Metal influence. Honestly, this whole "melodeath" thing is a farce, anathema to the very purpose for which Death Metal came about. As for Slipknot being a Metal band, I highly disagree. Simply put, they started off as a Rapcore act (which is a combination of Rap and Hardcore - NOT Metal), and all they really did in their later albums was change up the proportions of their crossover influences. They reduced the Rap/R&B influences, but still, the Metal influence isn't enough to make them an actual Metal band. Even now, they still have too much crossover to really be solidly put into one genre. Mind you, if you like Slipknot, this is no reason for you not to listen to them. I for one, have much more respect for a Slipknot fan who truly likes the band, and disregards the criticism they receive for it, than I do for these bandwagoner fringe core faggots who just drop everything, and jump on whatever trend they can find to try fitting in. As for the "True Metal" discussion, seeing bands like Children of Bodom, Lamb of God, and so forth, is getting really annoying. True-to-form Metal is NOT melodicized, symphonic, or anything of the sort. Of course, the fact that a band like Pantera, who do play a True-to-form style of Metal, gets ripped on by these "n3krokiddies" who listen to two-riff-per-song "evil" Black Metal, while they chant "death to false Metal", is really absurd. To the reviewer two below... | Reviewer: Star | 5/25/06 ...Children Of Bodom are a melodic death metal band. Where the hell did screamo come from? Some of you people need to learn your genres... And Slipknot is Nu-Metal -> which is not a real 'metal' genre Slipknot | Reviewer: CoB8Slipknot | 5/23/06 Slipknot is an awesome band. And their first album, below says is too much rap metal, but they have rap metal because they are Nu-Metal. They aren't Heavy Metal, They aren't prog, thrash, black or death metal either. They take Rap, Hip-Jop, Punk, Rock, Hard Rock etc and combine them to make their own metal. They are also considered Alt. Metal, because they have their own image and sound that is all their own. As for the comment below, Children of Bodom is not a screamo band. They are a power-metal, that isn't Alexi Laiho screaming, it's basically his growling. All it is really is, for example, a higher tone of the growling used by bands like Arch Enemy or Opeth. DAMN!!! | Reviewer: Sermon/V.S.\Pentagram | 5/22/06 Slipknot rules. Hands down, they are true metal. Thing is, their first album is too rap-metal, and their new one is too mainstream. Listen to IOWA all the way through. Then come back and tell me they suck. Also, Avenged Sevenfold isn't screamo. Atreyu is, but a more screamo band is like Bullet For My Valentine or Children of Bodom. And it's all about the music. Personally, my favorite band is Demon Hunter (hence, Sermon vs. Pentagram). Slipknot | Reviewer: Myself | 5/7/06 Why are all you people getting so offended if someone insults Slipknot? A first I intended to write my opinion and carry on merrily on my jouney of life. But this is so hilarious! Everyone is getting so worked up about "non-maggots" insulting Slipkot. I have stated my views on why they are rubbish. True, they are not as crap as metalcore/emocore (fake metal) bands, but they are still freaking nu-metal. Why they need a turntable is beyond comprehension. So I will post this up and see how many of you get worked up again. (Some of you I swear have maggots for brains. Get it? Ho ho) proud to be a maggot | Reviewer: Maggot69 | 4/27/06 Slipknot have gotta be (without a doubt) the biggest legends to ever roam this planet. To all you dicksnaps out there who have ever said a bad word about Slipknot, you guys need major education, you suck so much! To the dude who said Joey's drumming was only average, I'd like to see you do what he does, you probably don't even know what a drum is. Slipknot is the best band ever, ever since i heard wait and bleed i wanted to hear more of their songs and i did. I love their music, Corey's voice is amazing, Joey's drumming is THE greatest! the guitarists fuckin rule! the whole band is legendary! I didn't like heavy music until i heard slipknot, I was amazed. These guys are incredible. What they do is art, no matter what the non-maggots say. Slipknot are the world, their music is the anthem of life! Omg, us maggots wouldn't be maggots without them so I am thankful that I can have my title as a maggot. and I mean that. Slipknot's lyrics are so deep, meaningful and strong. The true maggots know what the songs are about. People who don't love slipknot's music don't appreciate the effort put into their songs, they do a great job with everything. With some bands, the music gets worse each time they make a new album, but slipknot always manage to make awesome, new music and I love that about them. Well, i could say loads more but I'd be here all night(not that that's an issue). The Maggots exist! Non-maggots are non-existant. Love you all! slipknot rules | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/26/06 fuking slipknot is the best it isnt metal i noe its a mix of a few genresthe fuks that are calling slipknot "emo" can go get a fuking life there is no way that slipknot is emo music it aint screamo atreyu avenged sevenfold and other bands are screamo and unlike slipknot, they are emo bands. and besides the fact, hu wats to be an emo there a bunch ov gay fags that need to get a life and stop bein depressed and bragging about it because they think it is cool to. slipknot is not associated to emo in any way. slipknot is the best band i listen to and the screams howls etc add to the feel of the music and also de fag that is sayn the masks n jumpsuits are gay they also add to feel of the music aswell. slipknot rules and none of u haters can change that. Some advice | Reviewer: Myself | 4/20/06 Slipknot is NOT original. The masks look ridiculous and they weren't the first to come up with the idea believe it or not. Mushroomhead formed 1993 and they wear masks, and Slipknot formed 1995. They are another money-making commrcialised band. They are in the 'heavier' end of MTV music, but the with same aggressive emo lyrics. "I want to die... wahhhh!" If you want sickening lyrics that are a little more structured or original, try early Death. If you want plain nasty try Cannibal Corpse. If you want proper heavy metal listen to Metallica, Slayer, Children Of Bodom, Smyphony X etc. Go listen to those bands of supreme talent, that play heavy music without sounding like they are popping a lung. Listen to Slipknot and Korn, and then listen to Necrophagist, Meshuggah - the works. What's great about these 'true' metal bands is that they have MELODY. Yes people, no chugging distorted crap. Proper talent and melody. Look up the defination of 'melody' if you have no clue what it is. Although I doubt half of you even know what proper heavy metal is. So do yourself a favour and listen to some intelligent music. Add New Review About The Artist By Pages:   Previous 10 Pages    11    12    13    14
