Rofl lamocakes . I saw this, laughed and had to sign up. Greeting minions.
1.Slipknot is not "Metal"? What pray tell what are they (moronic anwser expected)?
2."This forum is comprised mainly of people who listen to black and death metal" = What about speed "Metal", dont we count lol beside i thought the name of this forum was what again???...
3."They definately aren't original, they're just goin along with the nu-metal trend." = How so sir?
4."I have made much better music than them, believe me, their music isn't exactly that complex" = Really? What is your bands name "Rush" (j/k)?I would like to here what you consider complex ?Do yall incorporate as many instruments when song writing?
Respectfully, my point is this...
Opinions are like giants turds. They all stink and everyone has one. Including me. So what if thats old , its true
(read on)
Here is my smell on slipknot , they have done more for "Metal" than any band since Slayer,Sepultura,Suicidal,SOD-MOD. Whether you like them or naught, they do help promote the rage,pain and hate and inspriation that fuels our worship of this music "metal" (denying that will make you look idiotic(so please dont)). Sure they have some crappy ideas about what is palitable to the "Slayer" generation (slayer sex and speed)which I "was" happly a part of before I grew up and got a haircut and a real job(sucks to be me). Even so they are bleaping awsome in concert (Tattou the Earth was teh best time of my life april'00) . I have never seen them half-ass a gig, that is hard to do when traversing the perfectly played "Metal" universe and wearing the there silly costumes.
Haveing your lyrics rhime is not cheesey when done correctly and besides its done all the time in all genre of "Metal" at some point.
As fas as hard to play , ur right not much is unless your talking about cheesey mid song solo's(freaking primadonna lead guitarist they all stink and I hate them for thier talent) and not to metion the crappy lyrcs that get in the way of me moshing to the double bass drum and and kick but speed power chords!!! Rhythm rulz all songs.
The last 2 paragraphs were a mere opinion of a 32 year old "Metal" head . I am not the god truth so feel free to point out my flaws, i got all day to argue.
my 2 cents
now leave me alone i need some whiskey and some online gaming to kill some lucky person over and over
