Corey Taylor: New Slipknot Album Will "Rip Your Face Off!"

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Slapnut sucks.
Lock the thread now

[Thunder Dan]

remember that other ty band that came out from Slipknot Stone Sour? My god did they have some of the worst songs ever. You don't have to bother...!!

[dirk4mvp]

I wonder who's worse, these s or insane clown posse?

[Thunder Dan]

better than eminem

no way! Eminem actually inflicts art into his music and writes some damn good lyrics. I'm not all for rap (I actually hate most all of it) but Eminem has a ton of talent and anyone that claims otherwise doesn't know music what-so-ever. Slipknot is just noise- they cover up crap lyrics and crap instrumentation with volume. They overwhelm your senses with noise to cover up the fact that their songs are poorly written and they misguide people into thinking that they are groundbreaking and talented by having a ton of instruments on stage.

It doesn't matter if you have a drum kit with 30 pieces if you are a drummer that sucks. Ringo Starr had a kit with 5 pieces and he managed to use it pretty well. Don't be fooled into thinking that the more instruments you use the better musician you are- in fact, it should be the opposite- if you can make more sound come out of a single instrument you are better. Too often people think to themselves "man I can't play the drums at all, how can that guy play with 25 drums on his kit" and by thinking that they give that person credibility as a good drummer...however look at the guy playing with a small kit who can make the sound of 20 and you will see true talent.

However the fact that someone said Slipknot is better than Eminem has me fuming. That is like saying Kid Rock is better than Neil Young. The song Stan alone trumps anything to ever come out of that NuMetal genre or Heavy Metal genre ever. It's flat out better both lyrically and structured better than anything that has or will come out from any of those late 90's bands


In terms of songwriting:
Bruce Springsteen> Slipknot

thanks. i needed that.

[Thunder Dan]

thanks. i needed that.

I knew that was coming, and not that I think their opinion means everything- Rolling Stone placed him in the top artists ever in their Immortals issue they did in 2006.

they also hated everything that Led Zeppelin did.

because Led Zeppelin were a bunch of rip-offs. They stole old blues and folk songs and claimed to make them their own. They could play their instruments but they were nothing more than a cover band for their first 2 albums. It's funny that in recent years they changed their writing credits to give credit to the people that actually wrote and preformed the songs but everyone still claims Led Zeppelin is some great be-all-end-all of rock when in fact they were nothing more than a cover band from the start.

Here is the short list of the songs they ripped off

do not let J.T. find this post

do not let J.T. find this post.

it's true though. Arguably their biggest hit (Stairway to Heaven) is basically Taurus by Spirit. Go to Itunes and listen to 30 seconds of it and you can hear it exactly. LZ just changed a little bit here and there and thought that by doing that they made it their own

[Soul_Patch]

Why would anyone want their face ripped off?

Sorry, but that music is pure IMO.

So it seems that this gaggle of knob-gobblers have "unveiled" their new masks:
