Tribute to DEATH to include members of Slipknot, CKY, Malevolent Creation and others - Page 2

I have a feeling even if they do a good job it will be called every name under the sun because of the other artists backgrounds (i.e CKY, Slipknot)

I only hope they don't use the reputations of these guys to market the cd. It's good in the way that Chuck's mother gets more money from it, however it'd be sad that those names were required to market a tribute to such a brilliant band.

Mick Thompson actually teaches jazzguitar in Iowa, and Paul is a fairly ok bassist. Eventhough I'm not to keen on Slipknot, I'm still looking forward to hearing those guys doing Death covers.

Didn't Murphy play in Konkhra at a time?

Joe Murphy played in Konkhra between 97-99 and is featured on two albums and one EP. Both albums are pretty solid, haven't heard the EP but from what I've heard, it's only a taster for the "Come down cold" album from 1999. Overall, very talented musicians in the lineups they had during that period. Members from Machine head and other bands...

JAMES! I do apologize, damn, I had a feeling that I got something wrong there, hrm. Really embarrassing.

I'll give it a listen, but these guys better do their best, no one should take kindly to half-assed tributes, especially to DEATH.

Shit. Slipknot blows. I used to listen to them a long time ago before I was enlightened. Their guitarists suck, with their stupid riffs. They are so simple. A monkey could play Slipknot. Why? Why? Oh well, stupid people make fucking stupid existence. I guess I'll just not listen to that band. And I am in FL and into Underground.

C-Taylor · August 21st, 2003, 05:04 PM

TheMindKiller, does it ever occur to you that Slipknot does exactly need lightning fast guitarwork that would take someone 10 years of constant learning to do to make the music they make? If its not needed they wont use it. If anything they concentrate more on Drumming and vocals over guitarwork, which not a lot of mainstream bands do. You're too narrowminded.

Captain Beard · August 21st, 2003, 09:09 PM

C-Taylor, you should probably stop defending them and accept most people here will not like them, ever.
Why is someone narrow minded because they don't like a particular band? If you like them, fine, but stop forcing your side of the story on everyone else.

Come on brethrens, even though I do not like Slipknot, lets not fight over the memory of a great warrior.

C-Taylor · August 24th, 2003, 03:27 AM

Its not so much as defending as trying to give them the right to start this without any of their backgrounds interfering with people not liking it, just for the reason that Slipknot and CKY is the backgrounds to the musicians... its nothing to do with if you dont like slipknot, thats your own problems :P But when someone comes out with the more underground than thou shite then its more than narrowminded, it is completely one sided and unfair.
