It's not that SLIPKNOT are crap (first disc was awsome) it's just that teens today SWEAR that they are metal b/c slipknot is metal.
You're not metal 'till you've listened to the real shit. MOTORHEAD,
MAIDEN, SLAYER, MEGADETH, AC/DC, PANTERA, and classic shit like NUGENT, SABBATH, SKYNARD, SRV....Icould go on and on. To be METAL you need to appreciate 5 forms of rock, 1 classic rock,
2 80's hard rock,3 the blues, 4 METAL, and the newest addition rapmetal. Don't listen to rapmetal and think you are the shit when it comes to representing for metal fans, cause there is much more to listen to than linkin park. That's my 2 cents. CHARLIE liking slipknot is ok w/ me. CHARLIE liking the BEATLES is ok w/ me....b/c you have had to listen to it at one point on your journey through metaldom.

Oh crap, now I've started a Slipknot argument.
Seriously, I've listened to Slipknot and just can't get into what they are doing. Having 9 guys in a band where half the guys don't really do much besides bang on shit and scratch records and all wearing masks to cover up who they really are. Personally I don't think any band with a DJ is metal. Turntables are not a metal instrument. And the mask/facepaint thing has been done too many times for me to really accept it as anything original. I'm just a stickler for originality. The few bands that I REALLY like are very original. Anthrax, The Hunger, Pearl Jam, Sepultura. To me none of these bands sound like anyone else I've listened to before. That's what I like about them. Slipknot, Linkin Park, Staind, Disturbed, Creed. I've heard everything these bands are doing before. There just doesn't seem to be any real feeling there. It all just sounds so uninspired. But of course this is all just my opinion. Some of you might share it, others may feel completely different, and that's cool with me. I'm not saying you shouldn't listen to those bands if you want, but I'm not going to support them.No man I'm not a supporter of SLIPKNOT,and I'm not arguing w/ you.....personally I share the opinion of so many are the band and the rest just banging on shit....I thought the first disc was good, cause they kept a beat at least...second album is beating on lead pipes with a wrench and yelling MOTHERFUCKER a lot! Rap metal is a part of the future...I'm not fully embracing it, I'm just trying to pick the original from the crap. MUSHROOMHEAD for instance....been a band longer than slipknot (who cares about the mask issue...thats not what attracted me to them) Each memeber actually plays an instrument ( no banging on pans and shit) cleaner more crisp sound than slip, and heavy on the piano.
Piano is the key instrument in damn near every song. They remind me of MR. BUNGLE. But I'm not mad or arguing...I just mean that slip started out promising, but then became another
band that would turn a girl from britney to "metal" overnight just b/c her friends saw them on trl and carson daly gave them his seal of approval for coolness.

Its like when Guns N Roses took off so many people got into metal because of them, same with Slipknot and Linkin park people want to hear more and realise there are better metal bands to get into. God bless new metal thats what I say. Its up to people who post on this board to push new metallers in the right direction.
MY 16 YEAR OLD NEICE CAME UP TO ME ON TIME AND ASKED TO BORROW MY OLD SLIPKNOT DISK 012345678 I GAVE IT TO HER (SHE WAS N SYNC AND BACKSTREET ALL THE WAY) AFTER A WHILE SHE SAID THAT MADE HER WANT MORE HEAVY SHIT.....I LET HER BORROW SYSTEM OF A DOWN.....SHE CAME BACK FOR MORE. THATS WHEN I DROPPED ANTHRAX, SLAYER, NUGENT, JACKYL AND EVERYONE ELSE I COULD ON HER....NOW SHES DIE HARD METAL AND HER PARENTS HATE ME! SO I DID A GOOD JOB.......I TURNED ONE OF THOSE MINDLESS TEENY BOPPERS TO THE BEAUTY OF ROCK AND ROLL!
