Somebody doesnt like your opinion or agree with you? Fine, put your case across, not do what WPH is doing which is to flame the people and say that theyre wrong and hes right. Its called opinion mate. If you were to argue with me the way youve been argueing in this thread I would punch you in the face. You dont like Slipknot? Fine, dont listen to them, say you dont like them, give your reasons, then SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Your opinion is not the be all and end all
2. Slipknot are shit. Thats YOUR OPINION. The operative word there is OPINION. You get your friend in who's had 1000 records sold. Big fucking deal. I could get someone in who's sold more than that, who is a Slipknot fan. At the end of the day its your friends opinion. just coz he's in a fucking band dont make him right. I know several people who are in bands that do like Slipknot, so whos right here eh? No one. Its what you like.
3. They have no where near the talent of a band like Metallica. Your basing this off albums like Load and Reload yes? Im a Metallica fan, but recently they have lost a lot of respect, and the last albums have been shit. If you cant see this then take of the blinkers you have on to give you such a narrow view of the world and have a look. They have got to do a lot to make a good album now.
4. Slipknot are nu-metal. Ignorance at its best. go and listen to Linkin Park. I happen to like them, they make good music, but they are nu-metal. Now listen to Slipknot. Come back and post if you can see the diffirence.
5. Slipknot is gothic music. No that is bullshit. Im at university and one of the most popular bands here is Slipknot, and these are sure as fucking hell not 15 year old goths.
Ok, i have only ever said that this is my opinion, and i stand by my comments, i think they are shit, i have said,
'i think they are hsit, you dont, lets leave it at that'
a few times....
My friend does know his shit, if you wanna debate an issue, talk to him.
Yes that was why this whole shit started, sic compared slipknot to metallica and i dont care about opinion, no one in this world(who knows rock/metal or whatever you want to call it) can say slipknot are superiour in talent to metallica.
I was not talking about reload or load, i was talking about metallica's music on the whole, take any album, i agree that the load and reload are weaker than their previous material but are still great albums(again, my opinion)
I have heard every metallica album there is, like them all....black album and ride the lightening are my favourites.
I still think metallica can make great albums, probably will never make another classic like their 80's material due to the originallity of those albums(exp at that time)
Punch me in the face, haha, wow, thats great!
You dont know me and after that comment, i hope for your sake you never do meet me.
Just because people have different tastes in music, however extreme, does not mean they will end up fighting each other.
I dont think twice about most of the comments sic, or anyone else on here says about me...and i would think all this means the same to them as it does to me...whos gives a fuck...we are all just expressing opinions, sure i get pissed off with people who say metallica are shit, but dont take anything away from them as a person.....like i said, who gives a fuck?
some of my best mates just listen to rap, rap and rap...they still rule but when it comes to music, we never see eye to eye.
I would class slipknot as nu metal. Yeah, linkin park is nu metal, but are a diferent kind of nu metal from slipknot, disturbed, korn and other heavier bands.
I dont know why all of you seem to think i have never heard slipknot, i have and dont want to hear them again...i have sat downand tryed to figure out what people see in them, but call me an old man, but it just sounds like noizzze.
Again, in my opinion slipknot are a gothic band, at least 99% of their followers from around hear are....I think anyone with eyes can see that they are gothic, but does that matter, maybe where u all live u class gothic by other means than we do here.
Sic, when i mentioned those bands, i was comparing them in talent not under a label...alternative, metal, rock whatever....
Rock and metal are not that far apart, yes slipknot are as heavy as heavy comes so it is hard to compare them to hole or the foo fighters, but Dave from the foo fighters is awesome and extremly talented (used to be drummer in nirvana, played everything on 'the colour and the shape')
I odnt know about you, but iron maiden are one of the best metal bands ever, like them or not(yeah cheesy as hell) but have set the way for what metal is today.
Dont take the piss out of queen, No doubt in my mind he had the best voice in rock music ever.
Brian may is an awesome guitarist and cant be compared with any of slipknot's 20 guitarists.
I cant believe you call the bands i mentioned gay.
Def leppard have had some classics, not you taste, dont give a fuck, but are far from a gay band...fool
the bands i mentioned:
guns n' roses
iron maiden
pantera
ac dc
aerosmith
def leppard
METALLICA
queen
led zepplin
Foo fighters
hole
stained
megadeth
bon jovi
Are all talented as im sure most people on here will agree on.
Yeah, some are not metal, but if you look at a 'rock' band like guns n' roses and compare them to a 'metal' band like metallica then there is not so much diference(listen to perfect crime, right next door to hell and paradise city then come back and say they are not heavy)
Heavy does not cover slipknot, they are just noise.
lucifer, with a name like that, i dont care what you say..i refuse to answer to a fucked up name like that...as far as you others go, keep it coming..i can deal with the shit you say, actually this is quite fun...
