Arguably the most mallcore pseudo-metal (not nu, children, because that implies mainstream metal, whereas Slipknot is rock) band on the planet. Essentially talentless, this Iowa-based hard rock band incorporates a NEW N XTREME(!!1) approach to music by consisting of an unconventional 9 members, attempting to cover up their all-around mediocrity. The instrumentals are typically poorly done but blended well with all the rest, the drumming being as weak as the lyrics, and Corey (the vocalist) can often be heard panting in between shouts due to his dismal lack of physical fitness. On the topic of genres, Slipknot is often incorrectly labeled a metal band because their instrumentals and vocals do not resemble that of Tom Petty, and their mask gimmick was stolen from GWAR, a joke metal band that really isn't that bad. Synonymous with "poser", "mallgoth", "faggotry" and a number of other unsavory words that are more or less implied.

When the popular rapcore band known as Slipknot burst forth from the dry flatlands of Iowa, the world never knew they were in for the ride of their life until they got the first taste of Slipknot's brutally beautiful metal. While Slipknot's music is bashed by many other metal artists, one cannot deny that a band that pretty much pioneered their style in the 90's cannot suck to an unbearable level.
With dark, unusual and hauntingly original music, disturbing masks, and crazy shows, Slipknot has often been called the best metal band in the world. Named the best live band of 2005 by MTV, they certainly know how to kick it up a notch in some of the most memorable live performances since KISS.
Slipknot is not an iffy band you love them or you don't- this is not a conceited statement, but meant literally-they produce a sound that can either wear your nerves or tame them-no in-the-middle gray areas.
Corey Taylor has belted out the vocals for all the records except for one record, in which Anders did the vocals for- Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.- a more death-metalish sound resulting. Joey Jordison does drumming, Mick Thomson on lead guitar, James Root on Rythym Guitar, Sid Wilson on Turntables, Paul Gray on Bass ,Chris Fehn for custom Percussion, Craig Jones with Samples/media, and Shawn Crahan on custom percussion.

Corey Taylor( vocalist for Slipknot):"You don't sell out concerts, meet millions of fans and go platinum if your music sucks. Period."

John: Slipknot has 9 members.
Jim: Yeah, but 5 of them are pointless.
John: You suck.
Jim: Just like Corey Taylor's mother should have done.
John: Nice.

A. hate their parents
B. Think it is "not mainstream" and therefore cool.
2. Some rabid, mask wearing people from iowa who were given guitars by some strange error in life.

A crappy poser-metal band that gives stupid people something to jump up and down to, and gives fat, greasy-haired, "non-conformist" kids something to listen to while they pretend to have their own thought process.
It takes nine people to create the annoying, talentless noise that is Slipknot.
They wear masks to make themselves look scary and threatening, and they try to make their songs "heavy" when it just ends up sounding like static. Their drummer pretty much just stomps his feet and makes a continuous repetitive drumbeat over ridiculously distorted, repetitive, un-original and barely-audible guitar sounds.
One of their songs has a twenty-second repetitive screaming verse in which whatever the hell the singer's name is screams "I want to die!" about ten times. I say we give them their wish.
If you listen to Slipknot, you are probably an idiot. If you listen to Slipknot and are NOT an idiot, you're probably just a very angry person with no sense of tone or music.
Listen to Tool.
