    Just the 1 vocalist, Danni Filth.

    So where exactly did you read about Slipknot "chooping off live bulls heads"? The Daily Mail, the Sun, some other tabloid? As much as I dislike SlipKnot, I hate the way the media make up stuff about them without ever actually listening to them or hearing them. Oh, and Corey can actually sing.

    Gotta agree with Sniper on this note, although Slipknot are a good band they do a lot of messed up things. I hadn't heard about the bull head though I though they were obsessed with goats? Everyone likes Wait and Bleed it is they most mainstream song.
    I've also heard other things about the 'knot and heard that they poured buckets of a substance I won't mention on a crowd somewhere in the US, but when I saw them live at Ozzfest Uk they didn't do anything particularly weird.

    the thing is, the stuff they do on-stage, the fans love it! if they didnt why would they go to it?
    its mainly all the mainstream bitches a dickhead who class them as weird or freaks, they are just too close-minded and ignorant to reaise some people like that.
    and irregardless of wether you want to belive it or not, slipknot do have a large following.
    Iowa was released less than a week ago and alreadyit is in the top 5 most sold albums of the last DECADE, fantastic or what?
    And i think most will have heard of five, well they just released a new album as well, Iowa is beating it 2albums to 1album.
    So all you people classing slipknot as weird or sick, you are actually in the minority.
     
  5. Duuuuuuh... there are like 6 billion people in the world and there are only about 2000 people here...there's gonna be a major minority. Sheesh.

    I think it's kinda stupid how they act on the podium. There are some freaks who like it but I don't. They are just clowns, and clowns are also funnyy... at least for little kids. That the worst about slipknot, all that 12 years old wannabe-skaters with large pants, and slipknot sweaters..... nothing for me...

    I like this. Here we have two classes of people that bicker over some noise that our sound recievers like. The classes? Metalheads and Trendies.

    Note: no matter what anyone thinks, one is always calling other the stuck up arrogant bitch prick just because their choice of music differs from the different class.

    Pathetic. Critisize yes, but don't get wound up to the point of making yourself look desperate for the kasi. Accept the critisism and acknowledge their thoughts or view on that band. No band is shit or anything, otherwise, how would it have gotten known? And i don't want any crap thrown at me for saying something that most of you can't handle. Just that i've decided to put musical preferance aside and look at the situation neutrally. If you don't like a band or its music then why were you around to listen to the song to make the judgment? To listen to the song means that you must have some sought of liking for it.

    What can i say? I think some bands just go too far overboard, manson, slipknot, and several other bands are just cheesy in how dark their music is.

    Hey Herf, I'm on your side in this!
    Slipknot are a cool band but even you have to admit they go over the top sometimes.

    So do i, ive never thought that they didnt. its just no-one bothered ot ask me, they just assume i love everything i do.
    Goddess, im obsessed with their music.
    The fact is slipknot write excellent music, great chords and theyre lyrics are to-die for, everyone just seems to see the numbers, the masks, the armbands, the boilersuits and all the shock gimmicks. thats all they are, gimmicks, and the fact is, they all worked because thats all anyone here ever talks about.
    why dont some of you look past the masks and the cheap gimmicks and listen to the actual music, most of you write them off straight away as freaks. your the freaks for being so close-minded and stupid for not looking past the obvious.
    the whole reason slipknot are big is because they EXPLODED onto the music with all these shock gimmicks, and with these they caught the shock vote just as marylin masnon was dieing down, a hell of a lot of manson fans switched to slipknot because of their shock value. marylin manson became so big because he also EXPLODED onto the music scene with his gimmicks.

    If you dont like them, look past the gimmicks and LISTEN, dont look.
    If you do like them then the only way you can truly be a maggot is too also listen.

    But what if people have listened to the music and think its a whole load of bollocks? After all, no lryics are to die for, otherwise, you all would be dead.
