I used to like "Wait and Bleed" back in the day. There. I said it.

I 'liked' Duality for a minute there, but it's mainly because I was trying to bond with an old friend I had completely fell out of touch with and she insisted it was 'our song'.

I realized very quickly that we were two different people.

You couldn't drag me to a Nickelback concert. I've seen Slipknot a couple times. Not too bad live.

Plus, there's this:

I vote Slipknot. TBH, I don't think they're that bad. I think their music is decent. Nickelback, on the other hand, is absolutely terrible.

I voted please kill me and close this thread.

Do you require a blindfold?

No, ear plugs

Slipknot are fun to listen to when you're on a nostalgia kick. There's no nostalgia with Nickelback for me though.

it's different outlets though, isn't it?

Slipknot appealed at the time to disgruntled young teenagers. They gave off an angst ridden, angry vibe that suckered their fans in, let them feel like they belonged to a bigger movement.
Slipknot fans would all have the hoodies, many had the tattoos, masks, etc. It was alike a cult movement. A less gay Insane Clown Posse.
What was it Slipknot followers called themselves, maggots, right? Either way, they clearly had a passionate fan base.

On the other hand, Nickelback never really had a diehard following, or any following that wasn't comprised of easily offended passive radio listeners.
I can't imagine Nickelback displaying any sort of emotion, and their music could fill a small village fete on a sunday.
They're the time of music that's designed for people who don't like music and have never shown one ounce of artistic integrity.

Nickelback may actually be one of the worst things to happen to contemporary radio. They told other bands it's okay to be mediocre, it's okay to be horseshit because there's enough passive people out there that will buy a compilation of your radio hits.
