    New Slipknot Song

    this song is serious bullshit. and they are most probably a bunch of idiots. but as a musically interested person you cant deny that they recorded some really creative songs. they put out some unique material...

    Video interview Mikael

    i feel the same way. im not shure if i he is bitter or something (doesnt have to be the case). i wouldnt have expected anything like that from mikes side. there is no real reason for telling this. and in the same interview he states, that it is a really personal thing with the music and the own...

    Watershed: Are you disapointed with it?

    it has been said a few times before but i want to stress it once again: you all know how much a record can grow on you. this means: you can say that your currently not liking it very much but nothing more. you cant say, that it is overall not a good record at this point. maybe in two months you...

    Watershed Lyrics From Mikael

    the picture with the man reading the letter: my first impression was, that the content of the letter is the "text" written on the right side next to him. the guy is reading the decipered text. but since we know that the decipered text are the lyrics of watershed the result of this interpretation...

    Watershed Lyrics From Mikael

    Song Meanings: Heir Apparent

    ja, it fits. i think it is really a interesting interpretation of the song. i really appreciate that people post their ideas and thoughts on the new album and discuss them. however, i think it is not a fitting interprtation (mikes words, the booklet and also the "concept" of the artwork). but...

    Song Meanings: Heir Apparent

    "I'm pretty sure the album is a concept album about a death in the family. Or at least it has a recurring theme about that." this is a good guess! i think you are right, but i still have a hard time connecting the pieces.

    Song Meanings: Heir Apparent

    1. "political lyrics are crap" lol --> lennon, dylan 2. in this case i really do not think that the lyrics are in any way political. mike has clearly stated that the lyrics are very personal. Moreover: there is no sense in not publishing political lyrics. when you write political lyrics...

    To those who own both copies of Watershed

    "2. Portrait of a guy with trees or bushes on either side" I think you are wrong with this one. It is actually a window (you can see the curtain). This man is looking out of the window. You are standing next to the house (as a viewer) and the man is directly looking in your direction.
