They would cuddle, kiss each other in the corner corridor of the lunchroom everyday and would bark/yiff at anyone who stared at them when walking by. My JR year at the talent show all 7 of them performed wait and bleed in their furry costumes and the odd person out of the uneven 7 who didn’t have a girlfriend/boyfriend to cuddle and kiss played the trash can.
    I wonder how they are doing today.

Stop blaming bands for their humab members personal bad choices this aint WWE they arent being forced to perform 3 times a week to a scripted event they are musicians either they choose what they do from passion or should probably find a regular 9 to 5 if the road life means drug abuse. I wouldnt go to a friends or families intervention for getting hooked on their own stupid choices anyway. I make better ones left all that stupid shit in high school.

      They didn’t really care about Paul either. Paul’s widow asked the guys of Slapnut to attend an intervention for Paul, to try to get him help. Not a single one them showed up. According to the video I watched there was a member of Slapnut not to far away playing golf,GOLF, and straight up said no. I was laboring under the delusion that Slapnut was a family,a brotherhood, boy was I wrong. As far as I’m concerned Slapnut died when Paul did.

    Corey and Shawn is the problem.
    The fact they fired Craig, and Jay for "creative decisions" is such bs.
    Back when Paul was alive, he said this: "Without one of the memembers it just doesn't work."
    Even Jim said in their latest album that "rushed"
    It sucks to see such a great band has such a downfall. Seeing them become the soulless big "buisness" they despised from the start.

    The true Slipknot will remain 1999-2008 for me. With the same members, amazing music that evolved album to album. After that, things started slowly falling apart. Gray Chapter still had few great songs, but it honestly felt like a different band. No wonder as 2 of their 3 main songwriters were gone. It's just been downhill with the music, the image, even down to the masks looking dumber and dumber. I don't care anymore.

    See, I'll be completely honest, even back when Slipknot first became a big(ish) thing, I thought their whole image smacked an awful lot like a marketing gimmick. I never bought that it was some band of anti-establishment misfits, but a VERY commercial band.
    And hey, being commercial isn't wrong, I love plenty of very commercial musicians, but the "fake underground" thing just seems silly to me.

    • @SamuraiSilverhand

    • @Liccarus
      @Liccarus 2 місяці тому +26

      You could say that for anything past self-titled, but nah, slipknot was a really slow growing underground band throughout 94-98. Their demos at the time actually sounded just as good as some albums of their contemporaries so when they made to switch to corey they sprung into a record deal.
      They did all want to be a big commercial band though, even back then you could tell they were hungry for it. Iowa and onward always had at least *one* song that you could consider a radio single. My plague, left behind, before i forgot on vol.3, etc.

    • @dypetrod4766
      @dypetrod4766 2 місяці тому +8

      They were definitely underground and "careless" to some extent prior to Self-Titled, but they definitely wanted to go big as well. In fact, I believe any band that implies they wouldn't want an opportunity to get big (even within the punk rock or black metal scenarios) are just lying to themselves. There is a difference between being popular and adhering to an overproduced sound to make that happen, and although every band wants the former, not every band is willing to do the latter, that's the point. But the only kind of band that would genuinely be okay with remaining absolutely small and unknown forever are bands that are hired for weddings and private events, and even those are ambitious lol!
      That said, they have always romanticized wearing masks as some sort of anti-commercial or anti-fashion statement in their interviews, but I never really bought that bs either. Why not just say, "we wear masks because it looks cool", period? That's what it is. If they genuinely just wanted to hide their faces and egos and "let the music speak louder", covering their heads with paper bags would have been just as effective.

    Paul Gray's death in 2010 inflicted a fatal injury on the band.
    From what I've read, Paul seemed to be the guy who held the leash. He was behind a lot of the creative decisions for the first 10 years of the bands existence. This, as well as his extensive involvement in the songwriting process is what made the first 4 albums classics. When he passed, the band was at a loss of what to do next. They've essentially been on autopilot ever since.
    Paul really was the support beam of the whole foundation. And in the years following his death, the cracks have begun to show and are only getting worse. After the 25 anniversary tour later this year, I don't know how much longer they will continue on.

They made sure to make that album heavy comparible to they're first, so that their established fan base would buy it, but they also made sure to have that one radio-friendly hit (left behind) so that they'd get radio and mtv airplay. That song was so out of place with the rest of iowa. Then the following album they sold out completely.

    Went to their debut performance and a later one both at the same venue. Let me tell you, one of the coolest nights of my life.
    With a tribute band, it both pays homage to the original, and can preserve a specific era of a band.
    With SIC TX, it's a mix of Self-Titled to Iowa, which are the fan favorites.

    Slipknot these days sounds lifeless. They are out of touch, their music sounds like empty shell and their personality now are none existent. None of their new songs sound impactful or good, and their live performances sounds like Corey Taylor are struggling to catch a breath before saying another part of the words from lyrics of their songs. Seriously, I'm not even lying. Look at any of their live shows nowadays and compare them to what they did in the past. You will see what I'm talking about. Like, back in the days or even a bit after that, like in 2008 or so, he still sounded good and could sing properly without stopping. But right now, he sounds like a old man that is sick with asthma and needs to retire. So yeah, in conclusion I quit following them for like 4 or 5 years ago and will never listen to them again. Especially after they fired other members that made this band at least somewhat good here and there.

    There's a reason I only listen to metal bands from when those bands were coming up/in their prime. I didn't even have WANYK in my playlist until it was suggested to me, because I had a very good feeling All Hope Is Gone was their last "good" album. Bands go through cycles. But almost no bands make it around to the second cycle

    I pretty much exclusively listen to their first two albums. Anything after is incredibly hit or miss.

    It hasn't been good in 20+ years, that's a pretty big problem.

    They where over for me personally after Joey left! I've brought their albums after he left and have played them a few times a year! Same for me when David left Korn

    I always thought that was the plan they talked about in the early years that "slipknot is an entity" and will continue on for years after they were all in the ground? According to Corey in an interview I think with Sid unless they were just joking around like they did in their early years but it seems like that happening.

    Joey wasn’t the only member who died. So did their old bass player that wore the pig mask. No one ever talks about that member

    Slipknot was good from 98-02 ,anything that came out after Iowa was tainted with the Stone Sour, butt rock sound that Taylor really leaned into and still relies on to this day.
