      You're the second person I've seen who has said this on this vid. I'll be honest, I'm not sure what you're referring to when it comes to "two sides of my opinion" because I'm just saying how I feel lol! Either way I'm glad you felt I wasn't bashing cuz I sure wasn't trying to haha. Thanks for watching dude. Appreciate the good vibes \m/

    Slipknot says they wear masks because they feel it isn't about the people, its all about the music. They think that it doesn't't matter individually about who makes the music, it only about the music itself, if that makes sense. They also say it help them let go of their anger and passion and put it into the music

    • @BecomeTheKnight
      @BecomeTheKnight  7 років тому +60

      Become The Knight Become The Knight The members of Slipknot have also come out and said that the specific designs of their masks are the visualizations of their attitude and personality. Lead singer Corey Taylor explained it as having that outward attitude when interacting with people, then having that true/deep/personal part of oneself and he and the rest of the band try to bring that innermost part of themselves out in their masks. That is in addition to what James commented about taking away the musicians' identities so that fans and listeners can focus more on the music than who is making it.

    So I am a huge fan of Slipknot. Mostly I can't understand the lyrics because I'm from Germany. When my dad killed his self last year, I was so fucked up. But it was the brutal sound of Slipknot that helped me in this time. They inspired me to play guitar. I am so thankful for that what Slipknot gave me.

Then that whole thing kicked off with their actual career and they sent the guy a bunch of dead roses.

    @tomhinkle6411 7 років тому +11

    The reason why I got into slipknot was because of how musically genius they are: involving percussionists in the band, having clean and rough singing, a drummer who doesn't just care about how fast his feet can hit the double kick drums, having lyrics that actually make you think, bass that doesn't just double under the guitar but has another groove inside the music. And on top of that, they give me a type of energy no other band has. I can admit that I mosh by myself to this music because it's just so intense that I need to release the beast within me.

    I really like Slipknot a lot. Not my favorite band though (not even close). Mostly, I like them because I find their music relatable with my emotions. Most of the time I feel sad, angry or frustrated and to lock myself in the room and play some Slipknot with headphones on really helps me escape those emotional episodes of mine. Having said that, I enjoy listen to their music from time to time even with a good mood. PS: Nice work, I love your channel.

    • @BecomeTheKnight
      @BecomeTheKnight  7 років тому +43

    I love both metal and classical, though mostly modern classical than old classical, but still, that study doesn't seems far off. And music distortion I think is artistic and still music. Music is sound, but is a combination of sounds using vocal and/or instruments. If you see the 2001: A space Oddesey, there's one specific score that is just haunting and distorted. I would still call that music. the use of harmony, rhythm, or expression of emotions, even if it's just anger or hatred or just fear, is all music.

    What I like most about Slipknot is the fact that they continue to develop musically. It's pretty safe to say that none of their albums sound like the others. While the first 2 albums are extremely raw and gave them the "Nu metal" label, their later workis more melodic, while still maintaining that typical Slipknot aggression, although nowadays I would consider them to be more Alternative Metal than Nu Metal. Put all their albums on shuffle and you have a great mix of ups and downs, loud and raw and and melodic vocals. I think this is why they are comparibly easy to listen and get into.

    i'm not a fan of slipknot, but i think it's a good band to start to listen metal(there are other bands who work better for me). I think it's more easy to go on a kid who listen to slipknot and say something like: "Oh, you like slipknot, maybe you could like this band..." and go on from there than a guy who listen other type of music and want to share metal. I totally agree they put a hell of a show. It's something spectacular. Love your videos dude, keep going!

    I think the debate on wether it is music or not is very valid. Even Corey Taylor does Stone Sour because the music is more melodic and a little less hard hitting. But I believe that Slipknot isn't necessarily just noise because it is all interpretive. Slipknot themselves write their music to vent their emotions and deal with their inner "demons" and that is why I listen to them is to get out any aggression in a safe way.

    I love metal and I love bands like Eagles as well. Metal fans (I am not qualified enough to call myself a "Metalhead") aren't into violent shit actually. If people are shown the lyrics of songs like "Holy wars" from Megadeath or "Domination" from Pantera then they'll understand that metal actually deals with a lot more of the world than shit like pop does. Even metal wins over pop when making a love song like "This love" and "Cemetery gates" from Pantera are far better than any love song from any pop artist. Bands who make metal sound all gruesome by making disturbing videos and useless "die you motherfucker" lyrics make people think and label metal fans as stereotypical violence lovers while in reality we live the most simple life of them all. I even had a friend come over to my house and find out that I listen to metal music and ask "When did you start listening to them?" while I was long into metal.

    The reason I wanted to see this video is because of the discussion you put out and the challenges you give us.
    I'm 100% behind you saying "If this is music to you, defend it with history." I hate it when I'm listening to Mushroomhead or something and people say "How can you like that? It's just screaming and it's not even music." then I tear them a new one on "Why is rap music but somehow metal isn't" and they just shut up because they can't defend why it's music. And it's not just music, it's politics and religion and stupid stuff like superheroes. I love being challenged in a discussion but most people I talk to don't have much to add other than the same opinion reworded 3 different ways because they aren't well versed in history or even in their vocabulary.
    And I wanted to see how you'd react to the guy saying "Gang members?" XD I love that.

    • @RTANDJS
      @RTANDJS 7 років тому +2

      If you are interested, I can argue a little on why rap is music. I like rap, but only some rap. I don't like most of the current rap (all that shit about paid sex, money and bling etc). Let me provide a prominent example of the rap I like: Tupac Shakur (RIP), yes he does write a few that I don't really like about the gangster scene, but his lyrics has the messages he wanted to put in. Tech N9ne is another rapper (who loves Slipknot by the way, he did a collab with Corey Taylor) I would like to bring up. Look at the lyrics and video of his "What If It Was Me", which tackles the frustrations of a cop in a dire situation of shoot or be shot. If the cop shoots, he will be seen as a villain, if the cop hesitates, he will be shot instead.
      Good rap focuses on two things: Meaning behind the lyrics (they can either be obvious or just subtle), and the flow of the words, the rhythm of it. Since this is an argument of music, I would bring up the part of rhythm and flow. The thing about rap is that rappers don't just say the words out, they recite it according to the rhythm they are given. The way the rappers make that flow in their lyrics is actually dependent on the background music, or as they call it, a rap beat. Similiar to reciting poetry like how Shakespeare performers do, rappers need to plan which syllable to add more emphasis on, in order to go with the flow of the rap. That, is a form of art there.
      Again, not a huge fan of rap, especially the current rap that most of my generation likes, but well, it has musical elements, there is some talent involved (or at least SOME of them).
      Fun fact: Rap is actually an abbreviation: it stands for Rhythm and Poetry :)
