Masks or no masks-I’ve always maintained that SlipKnot are a band who can deliver a blaster of live set even if it were their last show on Earth.I’ve also maintained that there Iowa-is a great metal record-modern or whatever bullcrap you want to call it. They created their own massive twisted cult not many have [...]

For some wierd reason I’ve been writing a lot about SlipKnot lately.It started out in a “not-so-good” way because I assmued SlipKnot were still heavily relying upon their “1997 image” which we grew out of when we were all 13 or 14.But with the release of “All hope is Gone” SlipKnot showed us that they [...]

 
SlipKnot are in the process of delivering some major ass this time around.This is probably the sixth or seventh time I am writing about them here.There are breaking forward a lot from that “Side-Project” element that’s been haunting their music lately.Another single-”Psychosocial” (yes,I know it doesn’t sound very SlipKnotty compared to titles like “I am hated”) is [...]

Let’s keep the fun [...]

Last week,I wrote a post about why I think SlipKnot’s new album will be so very “1997″.You can read it here.Though many people think they are just a bunch of noisemakers,I saw something in them that made me dig their hit album,Iowa.But as I’ve also mentioned in my earlier post,I wasn’t at all impressed by their next [...]

Many thanks to Blabbermouth reader Fire Face,you explained it perfectly!It’s so “1997″.Let me explain.
During the early days of SlipKnot-you know the SlipKnot/Iowa era-I hated everything,SlipKnot hated everything,I loved SlipKnot.(Quote-Disaster Piece/Iowa:”I wanna slit your throat and f*ck the wound…”)
Then,along came The Subliminal Verses-I still hated everything,SlipKnot loved everything,they became so “Kerrang!”,no I mean,Thirty Seconds to Mars,I [...]
