Slipknot's mix of grinding, post-Korn alternative metal,
Marilyn Manson-esque neo-shock rock, and
rap-metal helped make them one of the most popular bands in
the so-called nu-metal explosion of the late '90s. But even
more helpful was their theatrical, attention-grabbing (some
critics said ridiculous) image: the band always performed
in identical industrial jump suits and homemade Halloween
masks, and added to its mysterious anonymity by adopting
the numbers zero through eight as stage aliases. Add to
that a lyrical preoccupation with darkness and nihilism,
and an affectionately insulting name for their fans
("Maggots"), and Slipknot's blueprint for nu-metal success
was set.
Slipknot were formed in late 1995 in the unlikely locale of
Des Moines, IA; after some More...
Review about Slipknot Dear God, | Reviewer: Charlatan
------ About the song Spit It Out performed by Slipknot
You're all so very angry. Enjoy what music you will and stop bitching at others for agreeing or disagreeing with you. Sure, if you like Slipknot, rant about how cool they are. And if you dont like their music, thats great too, have your say. But dont pick at eachother for your own opinions, and if the anti-Slipknot people choose to look up lyrics that amuse them I dont see a problem. 'Maggot 666', thats a hefty threat you've conjured, but youre not going to come and kill me just because I dont worship your favourite band. Internet bickering is so very stupid. By the way, I think this song is pretty good, though when my best friend was dating his ex girlfriend she called it "their song". Ahahaha, romance at its best.

------ About the song Three Nil performed by Slipknot
I love how the fans of bands of bands like Suicide Silence and Cannibal Corpse try to put Slipknot down. Some of the are so ignorant saying this is a pussy band. Lets see SS and CC come up with lyrics as meaningful as these. I mean, these lyrics really do mean a lot, and probably do to the people that haven't even heard of Slipknot. Back those lyrics with the amazing sound, and you've got, not just a band, but an unstoppable force. My dad was trying to bullshit me and say that Slipknot hasn't achieved anything musically. I asked him if any of his favorite bands had EVER taken all of the instruments that Slipknot has and made such a great song that millions of fans line up behind them. You should've seen how blank his face was XD

------ About the song I Am Hated performed by Slipknot
Kid, youre takin this all wrong. Youre thinkin Slipknot is sayin theyre better than every1 else when its not that at all. This song is a simple retaliation against all the people that hate them (and in my opinion, people with the same mindframe)
Its also a retaliation against whiners, people that act tough, and ignorant people. This, when you take a look around, makes up most of the world (hense "The whole world is my enemy")
really I think youre just insecure against power. Slipknot my not be gods, but theyre immortal

------ About the song The Virus Of Life performed by Slipknot
I agree completely with Slade. The rest are just petty assumptions made by listening to the lyrics, not relating to the lyrics. Nice try, I must commend. But Slade, yes, your rview, in it's entirety, is nothing but sense. Slipknot is indeed amazing. Not overrated, as some people seem to infer.
Purity | Reviewer: Cian
------ About the song Purity performed by Slipknot
Case of Purity was not real, just an over-zealous singer thought it was and created the song. If it was or if it wasn't, in the scheme of things it doesn't matter. AT the end of the day, fact or fiction, all we have is information and you make of it what you will. FYI, the website www.crimescene.com that is being used to prove the song as based on true events is a subscription site to get involved in solving FAKE crimes.. kind of like CSI for your pc. I mean if you really want to point at an obvious absurdity, put your finger on a multi million dollar band singing about life being overbearing. Now there's some fiction that makes for good songs. Just enjoy the music, Nothing is as it seems anyway

------ About the song Disasterpiece performed by Slipknot
I Don't Disagree That Iowa Isn't A Great Album, Because It Certainly Is. But The Best Album They Have? Come On, That's Pushin It. Now Don't Freak Out On Me And Chirp, I Love Slipknot And Am, And Always Will Be A Maggot For Life; But Iowa Isn't Their Best Album. Self Titled And MFKR Are Easily Their Best. Back When Slipknot Was Raw, Gritty And In Your Face More Than Ever. Self Titled And MFKR For The Win.
slipknot is the shit they arent satanic
im a catholic and i dont see anything wrong with this only the 666 part but now a days who doesnt know that number i mean comon its just a # its not the mark of the beast
worry only when its the real devil who tells you to get that # tattoed on you
To the dude that said slipknot are satanic cuz of the heretic anthem ur a dumbass, you should really look up the meansing before just assuming, and besides Corey Taylor the singer is a christian so get ur facts straight before talking
Psycologically damaged is how I like it best | Reviewer: Kayla
------ About the song Iowa performed by Slipknot
This song is about dominating someone in every way possible, violating, breaking, and ultimately killing them. He loves her, but there is something deeply, and devistatingly wrong with him...he wants to covet her, she is his, she can never leave. Its preverse, but strangely beautiful *sickningly* lol.
But isn't that be ultimate beauty of slipknot?

awesome how a ten yr old song is still so powerful. i bought the first slipknot album in '99 and never liked it. funny how over the past 3 years slipknot have become so much of my life and how their songs are so relevent to how i've felt over the last year. sick of the every day bullshit hate of from everyone around me even though im the nicest person you could meet. im generous, thoughtful,kind,ect. and always get shit on so this song says it all...

------ About the song Jumpdafuckup performed by Slipknot
Why are you people arguing who wrote/sang it? It's a Soulfly song but Corey Taylor did a duet with Max Calvera. If it were a Slipknot song then it would have been on a Slipknot album and you more than likely would have heard DJ Starscream (DJ for Slipknot) in the back mixin it up like usual. It is a song people, come on, stop arguing and just enjoy it. I might have sat here and argued with you all when i was 12, but come on and grow up already.
Review and Meaning | Reviewer: DivineBlackMoonX
------ About the song Circle performed by Slipknot
After listen this some for the first time i was stunned. i feel in love with this song. I cried the first time i heard it. One of there best songs. The meaning of this song is Reincarnation (Starting over your life)"Give me the dust of my father" = This one was hard but he wants his fathers ashes."Stand on the face of the ancients" = Gods."Bare the secret flesh of time itself" = There is no Heaven or Hell, God or Satan."All that I wanted were things I had before" = He wants everything back to the way hes life once was."All that I needed I never needed more" = In his life he thought he needed more but realized he didn't."All of my questions are answers to my sins" = He means for each sin there is a punishment, for each punishment a sin goes away.
"All of my endings are waiting to begin" = Dieing and Starting over(Reincarnation)."I know the way but I falter" = He knows the way to peace and harmony but knows hes not allowed to go there."Can't be afraid of my patience" = Waiting for hes sins to go away so he may enter the secret land."There's a sacred place Razel keeps safe" = The Land of Salvation, Peace and Harmony. Thank You For Reading. - Divine Black Moon X
What The Fuck?? | Reviewer: RocK_StaR
------ About the song Heretic Anthem performed by Slipknot
Why is everyone making this huge deal about Slipknot being satanic? They're not but who gives 2 shits if they are? I'm a huge slipknot fan and the heretic anthem is one of my favorite songs. Not because of "666" but because the meaning behind it. The record labels told them they need more "radio friendly" music. Corey said fuck that!!! 555 is the number of man so Corey's saying "yea you know what? you be a man I'll one up that and I'll be my fucking self!" That's the point behind the entire song. Radio friendly or not, slipknot is a terrific band and Corey Taylor is by far the deepest and simply best lyricist out there today.......If Slipknot's too heavy for you try Stone Sour...it's corey's other band. Not as heavy but just as melodic and every bit as meaningful lyrics if not more meaningful. corey's a hell of a guy.....I'm a vocalist myself and I'd love to meet him just to shake his hand and thank him for what he's done for nobody's out there otherwise known as maggots. Corey Taylor is the shit! Slipknot or no slipknot!

this song is amazing, i love slipknot and their first 3 albums were the shit, but there was something on the news about these two young killers that blamed the lyrics of this song on their vicious crime, but i'm lookin' forward to slipknots new album that comes out next year, anyone heard? it's gonna be called death calls, hope it isn't as big a letdown as all hope is gone

------ About the song Circle performed by Slipknot
I have picked this song from Vol.3 to try and get my class to understand Slipknot is NOT the band that will kill you in your sleep and eat your babies. I think this track is about working out the differences between wanting and needing something and also to follow and achieve your dreams and goals.

------ About the song Left Behind performed by Slipknot
Why is everyone bringin religion into this? Im Muslim, i believe in God and i LOVE slipknot. And people who use God as an excuse cant assosiate themselves with religion. Slipknot aint Satanic. They dont have a religion but thats it who cares about that it still doesnt change them as people. U see the most holiest people out there doin shit there not supossed to but y doesnt anyone say anythin to them? Nd for dat idiot who said most of the world believe in God so he must be true well guess wat most of the world also dont believe in God does that change ur opinion? I dont think so. When it comes down to it u either believe in God or u dont. End of.
