i think their stage presence outweighs their talent. Their talent is mediocre compared to alot of bands that play that same style of music. Its the stage show that gets them recognized, and to me they just stole a page out of GWARs book. If i want to go see a good metal band, slipknot wouldnt be my choice, and if i wanted to go see a crazy live act, then id still pick gwar over slipknot...i just dont see anything special about them.

Im sick of all these threads where someone talks about a band that they like, and it gets trashed on by a bunch of people. Not everyone is going to like the same styles of music that you like. There is no reason for people to hate on Slipknot ,because they are an original band that likes to play loud music that blows your **** off! Whoever doesnt like Slipknot could probably list some of the bands that u like and I could rip the **** out of them, but it wouldnt be worth it. Sometimes people like listening to music depending on what kind of mood they are in. I personally like to listen to Slipknot's newest cd while im excersising cause it pumps me up.
PEaCe OUt!!!!!!

Listen to whatever you want, doesnt concern me, but when someone says hey what do you think of slipknot, im gonna tell them exactly what i think about them and recommend an alternative, just as i did on this thread. I wasnt "hating" on slipknot, just stating that they are a mediocre metal band with a stage gimmick that is nowhere near original.
BTW - the gwar interview that i was refering to - darkstar: What does “Gwar” mean? Oderus: “What does Gwar mean?” darkstar: Yeah, because I’ve heard it stood for “God What an Awful Racket.” Oderus: Just to let you know, it’s not an acronym for, you know, “*** Weird Anal Reprobates,” all right? It’s not that. Even though we are, ok? We’re not denying that. We’re supporting it. We’re advocating it. darkstar: So what does it mean? Oderus: Whoa whoa whoa! Wait a minute. You know what? A lot of people ask me this question: “What does “Gwar” mean?” I don’t know. I don’t know what the name of my own band means. Jen: Did you make it up? Oderus: No. No! I’m just…I am that. That’s what I am. I’m Gwar. Whatever I am is what Gwar is. So I guess that’s the struggle all people have – the quest for self identity. That’s what Gwar is, why we’re alive. Yeah, this weed in Vancouver is really good. “I’m Eddie Vedder.” [Mumbles, then sings incoherently.] Die! Just ****ing die! Die! [Sings.] “Don’t call me daughter.” What the **** does that mean? All right, next question. Sorry, I mean, I could go with this for a while, my Eddie Vedder impersonations. “Hey Eddie, Kurt Cobain just blew his head off!” [Mumbles.] complete interview |

if you ever bothered to listen to music before it was shoved down your mouth by a radio station you would know that modest mouse up untill their recent release is hands down one of the most creative, innovative, and amazing bands ever. plus.. you like breaking benjamin according to your name.. so i must question what basis you have of judging any band. modest mouse is the best. evanescense is the worst.
