When all hope is gone... Mow the lawn... mown the lawn... Drink some Mountain Dew.

Or whatever.

I listened to that slipknot tune the other day - unlistenable. And this is coming from a guy who loves Rammstein and other hard metal.

What's even more amazing is the fact that Slipknot made an album I can listen to all the way through without cringing or remembering when metal was more than drop D tuning and seven-string guitars.

/Amazed about one thing that should be impossible: Slipknot are actually getting BETTER with age.
//Hated them in high school when they first came out, "Oh. It's like the Gothenburg sound - if you remove emotion, technical ability or songwriting skills..."

Like the new Slipknot, but absolutely love the new Motorhead.

Riff for "The End of the Line" sounds like "Even Flow" by Pearl Jam.

New Metallica > New Slipknot

Show - Your - SCARS!

 
sewiusproductions 2008-09-04 04:16:24 PM  
I can't stand Slippy Fist, and I can't imagine the new Metallica being any good, but if I can get it for free, I'd really rather not waste the bandwidth, especially since they're the only ones people have been caught downloading in the US, except that guy who released the new gnr tracks, though why he'd do that...

and btw, in case anyone missed it THIS WAS POSTED YESTERDAY!

Rammstein != hard metal


Calling all haters. I would rather like a band that everyone hates than some radiohead fanboy masturbationfest. I'm in my mid thirties, a prog-metal and melodic death fan. But I still like the thrashy stuff. Critics have got to admit that Slipknot writes really catchy riffs, the percussion is great and the lyrics are slightly better than the 13 year old notebook. I do wish they would give up the masks though.

What's all this about a recount?

I would rather listen to music that is actually good than worry about how popular/unpopular it is.

Slipknot is not thrashy. Slipknot does not have catchy riffs. Slipknot does not have great percussion. Slipknot does not have good lyrics.

Slipknot is shiat, pure and simple. They are a gimmicky band that fights to stay relevant and succeeds because the youth of America are bunch of farking idiots.

If we ever cross paths, I'll buy you a beer. Quality post.

What a real metal band looks like.

WHOA! Put the masks back on! Quick!

The article that was linked yesterday said the record companies of The Game and Slipknot requested a recount. I'm wondering why the record company of the band that had the top spot by just a few units would want a recount...?

Billboard lost the game.

Slipknot is awful. I actually thought they broke up. And I was a bit happier in that world. This has truly saddened me.

 
slyde 2008-09-04 10:26:12 PM  
Love the band, the commercialism, the gimmicks, the whole ride.
This album however, IMO, not the best thing they have ever done. Too much Stone Sour emo crap seeped in. Some of the riffs and drum lines are from previous albums, and I swore I heard a riff from Gojira on one of the songs.

Psychosocial is a great song however, anthem quality. Some very dark and disturbing lyrics sprinkled around, it has it's moments.

It will be huge for them, even if I don't get all excited about this disc.

Best part of this and any other music thread, is reading posts about "your favorite band sucks". Why can't some of you fanboys just enjoy what you enjoy without dragging down someone else's fav. Must be a sad life you live down there in mom's basement.

Rammstein? Hard metal? You are being sarcastic right?

I'd rather listen to music that I actually LIKE than care who else listens to it, or why. You may want to try something similiar.

I only listen to music I like. When I like a band that most people seem to hate, it makes me happy in a snotty smug sort of way. So keep up the bashin'. The Radiohead threads seem to be just tons of people jerking each other off while they agree it is the audible equivalent of Jesus farting Beatles covers.

I love the fark out of Rammstein, but do you know what real metal is?

Death Magnetic is really a solid album. I was pleased.

At least it gets our blood pumping. WTF is it to you jerkwad? Go pop a stiffy to the Jonas Brothers and I'll be blasting Slayer. Live and let live douchebag.

It could be much worse, it could be The Game at #1.

/or 25 Cent

Slipknot is like Mozart compared to The Game. At least they're, hold on a minute, stay with me here...*gasp* musicians!
