    for me back when I was 15-16 years old slipknot was a gate to death and black metal..I will always love their first two albums,slipknot and iowa..the thing I liked the most about slipknot was the fact that they were never just another classic nu-metal band of that time,they had almost all sorts of metal subgenres in their music.

    I love how Joey was the only member in the very first album cover (the demo) before even the first real cover and after he left, they stopped putting band pictures on the covers, thus he's been in more Slipknot album covers than anyone else in the band. He is the iconic one here, and his departure, arguably more than Gray's was the beginning of the end for the band's quality.

    I discovered them in '99 right before the self titled album released. I saw the poster/ad in some magazine which was just the album cover, but what actually got me interested was it said "produced by Ross Robinson" so soon as it dropped I bought it. Me and my friends listened and were floored and they've remained pretty much all our favorite band to this day.

    I've been listening to these guys for like 12 years, and while I definitely outgrew them, they still hold a very special place in my heart due to how much time I've invested in their music. I still pop Iowa from time to time; honestly it's still one of the heaviest shit ever.
    It is such a shame that the band has become such a husk of its former self since Paul died. First kicking Joey out and then Chris. Everything just went downhill for me there. And now Craig is gone too.
    While I do enjoy their later albums, the latest one is just such a letdown for me. There are great moments, but other times it's just good ideas done badly.

      I also relate to your OP in general, and over the years Ive actually tried to really listen to their newest material with an open mind, but most of it sounds like... well, like They themselves have said: They listened to IOWA, supposedly for inspiration, and thought that they could recapture what made them unique at the time by regurgitating their most pummeling riffs and drumbeats on a surface level.
      Well sorry, pops - it doesnt work that way, as all it does is makes them sound like lesser rip-offs, which imo at this point has earned them the right to be viewed as dadmetal.
      Oh, and regarding *IOWA* being their "Holy Grail", it was the album that got me into them as a 10 year old (*) right after it had dropped and, for the longest time, I as well thought it was their best record, but somewhat recently Ive come to think of the *S/T* as their magnum opus, as it is an overall solid package of tracks, front to back - something I honestly cant say about *IOWA.*
      *I remember it actually being too much for me at first, as I bought it only due to my love of "My Plague" (radio edit), and it is slightly more accessible than the 3 songs that came before it, but I grew to love the album over time.

    You hit the nail on the head. Originally, Vol 3 was supposed to be the final album, which is why they decided to do unmasked interviews and focus a lot of the lyrics and themes on death. Unfortunately money speaks louder than conviction, so they decided to just keep making music. Like you said, everything after Vol 3 is just soulless and pandering. There are still a few decent songs being released, but Slipknot died with Paul Gray.

    Okay this is going to sound very typical: but I was at home alone with my mother, my father was very abusive and violent these years (he was before, lost a better job, became worse, you know) but he would be away for 5 days for trucking somewhere. We were on the poor side, this was 2000 and we just got a small TV (I lived in the middle of nowhere, we got cable in our village in 2000), it was literally the first time ever I was allowed to watch television on my own (and I got one of those fancy chocolate icecreams on a stick) and what do I witness: Slipknot Dynamo Open Air 2000. I was in awe and this band helped me trough a lot in my early teens. Also the gateway for what became my musical taste, I listen to a lot of depressed stoner/sludge or eerie black metal, but mostly death metal and grindcore. Black Curse and Dragged Into Sunlight are my favorite bands at the moment. Last band I saw live was Wormrot. Haven't cared for Slipknot in two decades, but man I had no idea how much a band can help a kid. Edit: forgot to mention I even ended up fronting a death metal band and always headbanged like Slipknot (like fully bend over L-shaped ruining your back) I even have the same sized neck as Corey because of this style of performing. I don't know how they did it because after one show I would be physically completely fucked for 3 days.

    My first and only live show i saw from them was three years ago, and the sound was horrible.
    I couldn't understand a word corey said, as his microphone was so badly tuned, his words became a mumbling mess.

      @@stevencooper3202 Ah, hello. Hi. :) So, it looks like you haven't properly read the comment, good chum. Read it properly. As for my thoughts on CoF, I was massively into their 4th when it dropped, then 3rd (in that order), and while I preferred them to Dimmu, symphonic Black Metal in itself wasn't the heaviest I'd heard whether up to that point (in 1998) or now. (Who'm I kidding? 🙄 Chances are, if you didn't read my previous comment correctly, what are the odds you will this one? I'll continue it for other potential passersby).
      Nah, I popped my DM cherry proper (around '94) with Entombed's "Wolverine Blues," and Morbid Angel's "Fall from Grace." CC's "Stripped..." (not to mention Mortification's early work on their S/T and "Scrolls..." and Morbid Angel's "Domination" .... I know people like "Covenant" better, and while it's good, Domination was my power-album). Dissection became my favorite band in '95-96 when their unfvckwithable album "Storm..." came out. I'd also heard Jon's side project The Black around that time, and between them and Dissection, that was probably top-notch in my book for many years, although (let's be frank.... or Bill, or Steve.... okay, I digress) that's not to say anything of any seminal Grindcore bands I'd known of then (such as Napalm Death, or... wait, No, it's true I'd known about Broken Hope earlier on too.... "Repulsive Conception," can I get a hell-yeah? Ugh... I'm old. 🤦‍♂️ Moving right along.)
      Yeah, none of that is to even scratch the surface of Brutal Truth, Impaled Nazarene, Emperor's early work (nothing past their split with Enslaved for me, please), Exit-13, Vomitorial Corpulence (or AxCx, their biggest fans.... hyuck!), Enthroned, Dark Funeral (who is pretty relentlessly brutal in their sheer non-stop pummeling), or their biggest fans Setherial (double hyuck!), B(theoneweshallnotname)-zum nor the band that birthed him.... Mayhem 😏 hehe.... nor the thousands of band since or yet to be (Ariana [Grande] Terr*rism deserves some mention tbh, but then again so does practically unknown Franco-Can band Unquintessence, both for purely sonic reasons); Devourment, Mortician, um.... did you know Wayne Static grew up listening to Grindcore? Learned that in 2000, maybe everyone knows, idk. Extol. Khanate. Primitive Man. Xasthur. Abyssic Hate. Etc. Etc. Etc.
      I think I've proven my point.
      Make sure to put down Chelsea Grin, Lorna Shore, or ... more likely A7X.... heh... amirite? 😶 Okay, I'll stop. Listen to all that, and then go back and listen to the opening on "people=sh*t." Now, am I saying it's "heavier?" No. Am I saying music is anything but SUBJECTIVE to the listener? No. What I'm saying is "the opening measures (first 30sec or so) on that song are ARGUABLY (see, we're arguing here) SOME of the heaviest and brutal in [recorded] Metal music history."
      Keep in mind, I just woke up, haven't had my coffee (or smoke) yet, so this is all off the top of my head. I might be able to put together a more substantial list if I put my mind to it.

    Slipknot was the first extreme metal band I fell in love with after my brother showed their music and music videos to me when I was a little. The state of Slipknot today disappoints me. They have become a bunch of sellouts in my eyes and betrayed what the band had, brotherhood. They kicked Joey for not performing well over Gmail 'cause they thought that he was on drugs (he wasn't he was ill) and later just becomes a tribute cover band of what was. Their new albums sound the same and has the same repetitive riffs and singing with worse lyric writing. They have not progressed since Gray Chapter and have just become lazy.
    I saw them live last year in august (it was my first concert ever) and it was an amazing experience and I am truly thankful that Slipknot exists cause without them I would not be who I am today, but as I said before I am very disappointed in Slipknot.

    The 2nd iteration of the band was called "The Mask" because of their love for the then-recent film starring Jim Carrey. They called Jim and asked him for permission to legally use the film title as their band name after mailing a demo. Carrey was unimpressed, saying that the only band he'd allow use that name was Cannibal Corpse, and that wouldn't happen because their name was already Cannibal Corpse. This led to the bandmates ruminating on the denial from their hero to the point of considering unaliving themselves by hanging. That's when they said "f**k it," put on masks, and began furiously crying and throwing tantrums about it with instruments, spawning Slipknot's name and incredibly rare first EP entitled "4 Stra2ght b0ys."

    Slipknot was my shit during the late 00s to early 10s, it was massive in Brazil and the all hope is gone-era is still remembered with passion by many. But i think they not even close to the band they used to be in the beginning, not just because the sound but because the attitude, the rawness, the agressive way they used to have, and i know they are old and rich now but the feeling should never stop, slipknot should be angry and punk, not a fucking circus full of lawsuit stuff going on.

    I was born in 1990, so I had already been into death and black and speed metal and stuff by the time I ever even heard of Slipknot. It was already canoe wigger shit for posers in my eyes and didn't serve as "a gateway band" to metal for me like they did for many people. I was like, why listen to this when I could listen to Doomsday For The Deceiver or Beyond The Crimson Horizon or Hell Awaits or Seventh Day of Doom or Those Who Caress The Pale or any innumerable other album? Not only did I find them boring and not exciting or extreme or heavy, but the fact that they have record scratching and guys beating on trash cans and like 9 members and shit makes me say that it's not even metal.

    I find it hilarious that Paul McCartney called Slipknot "Shitknot" because they were 'terrible', as someone who likes both artists.
    Never knew Iowa would have that terrible of a production. I was shocked by the album's history when it was discussed here before I could read the Wikipedia page, but the Halloween masks really stood out and gave Slipknot character imo. Sure it felt cheap, but the result made them recognizable.

  • @uselessagent7342
    @uselessagent7342 10 месяцев назад +1

    It was far more than anyone besides us Maggots could understand in '98-'99. Slipknot has always been about No Names just numbers No faces but masks and Matching clothes in its own way saying "we are one" and "we dont want to be like you." It is a signal to the kid afraid to talk to get up and scream and know he or she is not alone as we fight for the ones who can't fight and if we lose at least we tried. Slipknot is about beauty in the negative spaces and to overcome the tragedy that is all around us an keep our heads high without fear but to accept life with love and an open mind.

      Where have you been?! Or are you a new fan?!
      Because for years and years we were told they were brothers and that they wouldn't replace anyone...
      Because that's what it was all about ... "We wouldn't do that to our fans"
      I used to be a huge Slipknot fan until Paul died... But Slipknot fans these days can't criticize their own band and always there to defend them!
