Mike27 said:yeah if i had to pick, it would probably be nu metal. but i still think they are closer to metal. and i agree, they lack talent in the guitar department. and 9 people in a band? 3 of them are passengers.
but solos dont make a band. i think that affects them in no way whatsoever.
but theres just something that makes me like them.....
derek said:I quite like the band. They're pretty accomplished musicians. I never did buy into the image, and I don't think i'd ever attend a gig due to the lack of folks my own age, and the bar selling nothing but soda, but all things considered they've wrote some good tracks.
Mike27 said:i think slipknot is in a whole different leage than limp bizkit and linkin park, though. Nu-metal is metal, whether it sucks or not. and there are metal bands that dont have solos.
The only reason you can call Slipknot "Metal" is because they have riffs, you take away the riffs you have a very bad pop or rap or even punk song and hell, they suck doing they're riffs too.
Judge Dred said:That statement is totally biased. You honestly think that if you took away the guitar, that Slipknot would be rap? Your eardrums must be broken. How the hell would they sound punk or pop? The voice is like a lot of the bands out today, as well as lyrics. The riffs are heavy, if that's not metal, then metal must be a very tiny genre.
