    All Hope Is Gone had some of the most technical and insane riffs Slipknot has ever done. To this day. Mick is an underrated master of his craft. His movements are almost robotic. You can tell this man has spent countless years honing his ability.

      Guitar-wise it's one of their best records. Not just the riffing, but the addition of solos and more complex arrangements on the slower songs too.

      @Enno I slightly agree with you, but he's very clean, and his writing is way better than the average player. I'd say above average guitarist over all. He's not Yngwie Malsteen or Steve Vai, but you don't need to be them to write killer riffs.

      he's not headbanging he's keeping time with the backbeat. So he feels the rhythm he's supposed to play at. The fact he's feeling it at normal time and then sub dividing it like that is crazy tho. I try and play like that it's so sloppy and not in time he keeps it so tight so effortlessly. i need to practice more.

      of Sabbath. Randy Rhoads tone was not as heavy as this even though he is my favorite Metal player. Mick is killing it here! 🤘

      Having technically demanding songs is always a pain in the ass to record, especially if you’re quadtracking. You gotta lay down 4 rhythm tracks that have to sound identical with minor differences in placement of fingers on the fretboard and strike-zone on the strings. Now imagine doing that for 11 songs that are about the same level of difficulty to track.

      What I meant is that his solos in studio sound great, but he can't reproduce them live, I don't know why, and there are plenty of songs in AHIG that have excellent guitars, I'd say most of them, but they only play Sulfur, Dead Memories and Psychosocial (sorry if I forgot any but I've only seen them playing those live) and it's a shame they don't include all the other amazing and much more complex songs live.

      Joel Dergal That doesn't necessarily mean they can't play them but they need to put songs they feel would fit into their set. They have a specific standard for their sets so they're going to add songs they feel add to that. Gemetria is a great song but can they get the same level of energy on stage while still executing the song effectively? Probably but they also might feel that Sulfur and Psychosocial can do it better. I mean who knows at the end of the day, but if i had to guess....

    I have never been a Slipknot fan. Watching this video, I have no idea why not. These riffs are nasty! I’ll be listening to this record today!

    • @mattwhite399
      @mattwhite399 2 года назад +4

      Follow-up: I know now why I don’t like Slipknot. The guitar tone sucks for this type of music and Corey Taylor is not my style.
      The guitar tone is too “squishy” for this style of music, for my tastes. It sounds like an Orange amp style distortion, and it needs to be a boosted Mesa Boogie dual rectifier type distortion - fast and tight.
      Corey Taylor’s vocal style makes me cringe. I don’t like how busy his verses are. Go figure, Corey Taylor has a lot he wants to say - lol.
      These are just taste things, though. Clearly Slipknot is a killer band full of talented people. I’m just going to return to not listening to them.

      Respect anybodies opinion, but my opinion is this is the worst slipknot album (the drummer recorded his tracks alone and every member had to follow along and record by themselves.) If that's the one you listened to, try a different album maybe 3 or 5 or the newer ones. Or don't, whatever. Cheers brother.

    Slipknot is one of those bands that is so fucking good but "real metal" fans sleep on because of the theatrics and their association with nu-metal. Mick and Jim are some of the best guitarists working today. Mick straight up one-takes this track like it's nothing.
