Aside from that elitist standpoint, let's be honest. If we're allowed to talk about CoB on Metal Storm, we should be allowed to talk about Slipknot on Metal Storm.

I'd take Slipknot over anything CoB have done in recent years. Slipknot retain the virtue of being good at what they do more or less, unlike this total joke of a band.

Everyone his opinions on the bands...

I've said this many times before, but apparently I'll have to keep repeating myself until the end of my days on MS:
If I had a penny for every time a random retard bashes Slipknot, with no apparent reason other than the fact that it's cool to do so, I'd have enough money to buy [band]'s (CoB's, in this case) discography.

That is all, enjoy being a hypocrite.

I just claim that their music sucks (my opinion) and it ain't metal, that's it.

The music may suck in your opinion but their music is metal. That's plain as day fact.

To me it's as much metal as Linkin Park is (they are very comparable), close to the border.

Then you're deaf. They sound nothing alike. Slipknot are practically thrash in their first few albums and have never resembled Linkin Park. You must have giant spangly turntables in front of your eyes.

Slipknot thrash? I guess the world just keeps turning and changing.

Some bouncy metal with the flow of rap music, some hardcorish (or if i have to, death metalish) angry vocals and dudes bashing percussions, spiced with dj things.

This leads me to the conclusion you've only heard a few soft tracks from their 2008 album and thus have no fudging idea what you're talking about.

Written by Windrider on 17.03.2012 at 20:37
I don't know what tracks I've heard from them, some songs on youtube or shit, because I didn't want to hear anything else from them ever again. It was just plain bad and ridiculous how they look and they playing this softy metal-called shit. So in a way you are right.

Well their debut was kind of like an alternative death metal album so maybe that's where Joe is getting the thrash vibe.

Either way, still metal. And probably still "more metal" (if such a thing can be quantified) than CoB.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 18.03.2012 at 02:49
totally no death metal (alternative or otherwise) on their debut. That some of the guys in Slipknot are death metal fans does not make it death metal It's closer to thrash than death metal. But the first Slipknot is an archetypical nu-metal album. But totally metal it is.

I guess every band that uses turntables sounds the same now....

I don't know if you are familiar with the both bands' (Knot Park) debuts, but the turntables aren't the only similarity. Slipknot was the aggressive one, whereas Linkin Park (with the less 'furious' tracks of its vanilla nu-metal) was ok for mainstream radio channels.

Slipknot was also all over the mainstream radio channels at the time of the debut. Just as much as Linkin Park

Well, on some channels maybe, MTV played Slipknot videos quite a lot, at least on some shows. Linkin Park was all the time pretty much everywhere. We live in a different countries, so different radio cultures maybe? I listened both of them from a CD anyway. Crush the radios

I ignored both on cd and switched off the radio whent hey came one. FOund them shit at the time and still find them shit today.
Both bands clearly aimed at popularity and mainstream succes and were and still are marketing gimmicks

The 2 first Slipknot's are still quite great, especially Iowa (the last tracks in it are the climax of it). Linkin Park's [Hybrid Theory] was fun at the time, now ok. Well, yea. I don't really care about things outside music.
