Corey Taylor announced them ending slipknot. They will have one more album, then corey will be moving on to Stone Sour. Heres what he exactly said:
"The great thing about SLIPKNOT is it is one of those bands that if it hangs out too long, it will not be cool at all," Taylor said. "So we do what we do with SLIPKNOT. I think SLIPKNOT has one more album in it, and then we\'ll call it a day. \'Cause if we over stay our welcome people are going to start to turn on it." He added, "STONE SOUR, on the other hand, I think has 10 or 15 years in it, just for the fact that we can do anything. The bad thing about SLIPKNOT is we kind of painted ourselves into a corner, with STONE SOUR all bets are off."
Stone Sour isnt bad er anything but Slipknot kix way more @ss. Most here probably doesnt listen to slipknot, but for those who do, thought u should be informed.(if you dont already know)
-
Personally, I think Slipknot is garbage, so I don\'t mind :)
-
Slipknot\'s first album was cool, hadn\'t heard shit from them since, so Stone Sour from what I\'ve heard is much better
-
I think they should stick to Stone Sour.
-
slipknots a good bad, but oh well. meshuggah is better.
-
Slipknot\'s a decent band. I used to be a fan of their extremely heavy and hard music. But I quickly grew tired of them and found infinitely better metal music(Metallica, Megadeth, etc). The lead singer(Corey) has an extremely versitile recorded voice(it sucks live though). His normal singing sounds great and he has the best growl/scream that I\'ve ever heard, but the rest of the band really brings him down. Their guitarists are awful and their drumming is decent at best. And why the **** do they need 5 extra people just to give you the finger and bang their heads around?
I hope Stone Sour lets Corey expand his musical talent. Slipknot can RIP and be known as a better than average death metal band.
-
dude... slipknots drummer is frickin awesome.
-
no kidding. went to their concert a while ago and he did a solo while the platform he was on lifted into the air and went inverted. was awesome. Also, corey\'s yell is a part from anyone else\'s and he can also sing(which people doubted until \'bother\' came out).
-
Yah. Slipknot\'s drummer is one of my favorites.
But the band itself is nothing but a bunch of tryhards.
-
and if joey(the drummer) doesnt find a new singer and stays with his side project(murderdolls), hell play guitar. Which sux, cuz hes way better at being a drummer. Except, slipknot had a guy named Anders before corey came, maybe they can pick him back up and the (sic)ness will continue. And for you guys, joey will still be a drummer,lol. not that u care about slipknot being back.
-
That Anders guy is the lead in a band called Painface IIRC.
-
o ya..heard about him being in another band. But have they made any cd\'s yet. Cuz if they havnt, he could join slipknot again, cuz if hes a musician hed probably want to make cd\'s. But, even though Anders started slipknot, it still wont be the same without corey. I doubt theyll get a new singer, but u never know.
-
Yeah , they made a cd. It\'s pretty damn good also.
-
That sucks... Is this true. Slipknot is one of my favorite bands, For anyone saying the guitarists suck- you are so wrong. He is totally sick at the guitar. Up their with his warlock- just awesome. I am a true maggot and will still listen to their music- I havent heard Stone Sour\'s stuff. But I\'ll check that out, BTW: is he vocals in Stone sour?
".....Here comes the pain!!!!!......"
-
ya, he is vocals in stone sour. He sings a lot more. I like it, but slipknot blows them away. Im getting disasterpieces the DVD for christmas. u have it yet spudz?
-
No. I am gonna get it soon though.
-
For anyone saying the guitarists suck-you are so wrong.
Hmm...no, they do. My friend who\'s only been playing guitar for about a year or two can easily play anything from any of their songs.
-
thats the kind of music they play. but as guitarist and just messing around, they kick ass. People base their songs on how \'good\' they are, and they kick @ss.
-
You know who is suprisingly good at guitar? The guitarist for Andrew W.K.. He is faster than a mofo.
-
im so sick of that party started song. I play madden A LOT and thats the first song i hear, and its stuck in my head. That and the bon jovi one cuz thats the one that comes on when i first go online. Havnt heard any other andrew wk songs. Im contempt listening to slipknot, stone sour, and system of a down, so im not getting their cd any time soon.

Wow- isnt that amazing. So you must mean that since I can play any of Lars\'s Metallica songs on the drums, I must be as good as him? Hmm?
What an idiot....
-
just because your friend whos only been playin\' guitar a year can play thier songs doesnt mean they suck.
spudz makes a good point... Lars plays some of the most simple shit youll ever hear on the drums, but trust me he\'s an awesome drummer.

:rolleyes:
That\'s irrelevant to me. I judge a guitar player by how they play in their songs, not when they\'re just messing around. And judging from the guitaring in Slipknot\'s songs, they both suck. It takes a great guitarist to put great guitaring into a song.
What an idiot.
Now now little Jimmy. Name calling is no way to win an argument. :p
-
I can play Seasons in the Abyss by Slayer....I MUST BE JUST AS GOOD AS KERRY KING!!!!
-
I already dismissed that logic...It\'s the quality of the guitaring in the songs I was referring to.

Um, no....i got their dvd and it has both james and mick(the guitarists) messing around and, even though James seems to be better, they both kicked ass. Its just they dont have any spiffy solos in their songs to show their skill. But in slipknot, a solo, like metallica has, would seem kind of out of place.
-
i watched the whole dvd. If your a slipknot fan, its a definate must buy. They play Eeyore, totally kicks @ss

You are so stupid, and I\'m sure everyone at the forum can agree, slipknot fan or not.

Oh I definitely agree that a solo like something out of Metallica\'s book would be out of place in a Slipknot song but that\'s not necessarily a bad thing. It\'s often great for a band to try new things. It is how bands expand their talent and improve. But that\'s another topic.
The problem I have with Slipknot\'s guitarists is they play the same notes over and over and over again. This is a fact. There\'s no calling me names like a 5 year old on this one. Their they play the same riff repeatedly(Example, Heretic Anthem) and most of the time the riffs aren\'t very good to begin with(alot of beginning guitar players could just listen to it and play it exactly, that shouldn\'t normally happen). I never said this meant they were as good as that certain guitarist(people trying to put words in my mouth again, resulting in them putting their foot in their mouth). I was only pointing their lack of talent. There\'s no excuse for not playing good riffs if you\'re supposedly a great guitarist. Look at Tool. They don\'t have many solos but their riffs are far better than Slipknot\'s. We don\'t hear them messing around so why should that be brought into the equation?
You are so stupid, and I\'m sure everyone at the forum can agree, slipknot fan or not.
Um...no. If you\'re going to insult me, then atleast back yourself up instead of looking like a complete fool. And can\'t you carry on a debate without insulting like Viper?

Give up on the Slipknot debate? That\'s what I thought.
As for no one liking me, that\'s not true. I know a lot of people hate me but I\'m okay with that. This isn\'t a popularity contest(oh no, I\'m not liked at an internet forum, looks like its suicide for me). There are a good amount of people who respect me here.
-
:surprised Hmmm, well.. all things come to an end, don\'t they ?
Anyway, I still like Slipknot\'s selftitled album a bit better than
Iowa. Never owned MFKR myself, nor heard all it\'s songs.
I hope they put out a damn good last album :D
Maybe a bit strange, but I liked Slipknot best for it\'s DJ, #0,
Sid Wilson. Very cool scratchworks :cool:
I\'m curious if he\'s gonna team up again with his old
band Sound Proof Coalition, after Slipknot is through..... :hold:
-
I likes slipknot best cuz of corey and joey. I agree, the second cd better be their best, but i heard the songs that are gunna be on the cd are the ones left out of the Iowa cd.
