Slipknot

[mrlee]

they always moan about clean singing.

personally i want the clean singing, i hate all that roaroaoraoroaroa stuff.

I like both - that's why I love Slipknot.

yeah but slipknots roarness isnt harsh harsh, its ok but his clean voice is really good.

Im on bout the more extreme roar crap.

[WARose]

really awesome album. got it the day it was released from amazon.

corey`s stone sour influence is definitely noticeable, but since i`m a fan of both stone sour and slipknot, that`s no problem. doesn`t mean it doesn`t sound like slipknot anyways...  been pumping it in my car for 2-3(?) weeks now and i`m not planning to stop having it in heavy rotation anytime soon!

the bonus dvd and bonus tracks my version contained aren?t worth buying though...

[CheapJon]

does anybody know where i can get a setlist from?

seeing them next week

[CheapJon]

leaving for denmark and slipknot in a few minutes

[CheapJon]

fuck in hell what a show, easily top5 of my life

[Carlos_f_Rose]

Can anyone explain me, why they made a song about Marlon brando's eyes?

They didn't -  now scram!

You aint really now a shit about Slipknot, do you?

[CheapJon]

You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes

that's the chorus of eyeless yes, doubt the song is about marlon brandos eyes though

[Mobenrad]

I love this band, they're easily in the top 5. (GnR, Slipknot, DragonForce, Anberlin, Daft Punk). However, I find it hard to believe their new album "All Hope Is Gone" sold more and placed higher than Chinese Democracy in the first week.

SLIPKNOT began its first solo headlining tour in support of the band's latest album, "All Hope Is Gone", Friday night (January 23) in St. Paul, Minnesota. Ross Raihala of TwinCities.com writes in his review of the concert, "The 10,230 fans who filled the general-admission floor and lower half of the arena were certainly ready for the band's first gig at the X in almost four years, moshing and cheering throughout the evening, shouting along to the Grammy-nominated single 'Duality' and basking in every last chunky riff. Heck, some of them were so excited, they even cheered while the roadies did a pre-show soundcheck behind a curtain.

"Indeed, all those things that seemed so ridiculous about the band in the beginning ? from the slasher-film/SM masks to the logo straight out of a 1950s horror comic ? now seem like the least unusual aspects of SLIPKNOT. What's most amazing these days is that they can still figure out how to use all nine members, which include a pair of additional percussionists, a DJ and keyboard/samples player alongside two guitarists, a bassist and drummer. All that extra manpower rarely felt superfluous and, if anything, added an extra layer of muscle to the music. The lack of pyro and special effects may have been to save a little scratch in these lean times, but it only further focused attention on the music itself."

The group's setlist was as follows:

01. (Sic)
02. Eyeless
03. Wait and Bleed
04. Me Inside
05. Before I Forget
06. Dead Memories
07. Left Behind
08. The Blister Exists
09. Frail Limb Nursery
10. Purity
11. Everything Ends
12. Psychosocial
13. Duality
14. People = Shit
----------------------
15. Surfacing
16. Spit It Out

Going to Slipnot August 26th can't wait!

[CheapJon]

just watched the video of snuff, it's more like a short film, who woulda thought this of slipknot 10 years ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXEKuttVRIo

[RickRoses]

Slipknot kick ass, I saw them back in October. I was 2nd row, pit, right in front of Corey. The show was insane, probably the best show I'd seen before I saw GNR. Been a fan for a long time, about 7 years now....

[BlowUpYourVideo]

I've got their first three albums and want to check out AHIG at some point. Iowa's definitely my favourite so far. Some people can't bear the masks or their image but at least they look interesting, unlike a lot of modern bands. People = Shit is the shit.

Police: SLIPKNOT Bassist Found Dead - May 24, 2010
According to the Des Moines Register, Urbandale, Iowa police are investigating the death of SLIPKNOT's bass guitarist at a local hotel.

Paul Dedrick Gray, 38, of Johnston was found dead at approximately 10:50 a.m. today by an employee at TownePlace Suites (pictured below), 8800 Northpark Drive, police said.

There was no evidence of foul play, police said, but the investigation is ongoing.

An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday. Toxicology tests will be done.

Back in 2003, authorities agreed to drop drug possession charges against Paul Gray in exchange for Gray's acknowledgement that he was on drugs when he was involved in a minor traffic accident (Story#1, Story#2) in the summer of 2003 in Des Moines.

Des Moines police arrested Gray on June 1, 2003 after his car collided with a car at Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway and Carpenter Avenue.

A police report at the time said Gray "had impaired balance, slurred and dull speech, and extremely sleepy and dull behavior."

hope it doesn't become a normal thing for rockstars to pass away!

[mrlee]

they are all getting old now.


the sad part is there are no new rockstars around to carry the torch, just a bunch of pussys like All Time Low.
