Slipknot is 9 piece band from Des Moines, Iowa. "True " or "kvlt" metalheads will call Slipknot 'false metal/emo/goth/etc'. I just call them a metal band. Before anyone starts calling me a 'poseur', at least hear me out. You either love them or hate but don't call them shit if you've never listened to them. At least respect Slipknot. To "true" metalheads: Yes i know Slayer, old Metallica, Pantera, Lamb of God, etc.(you get the idea) are awesome and Slipknot can't compare to them,it doesn't give you the right to call them shit and call others poseurs only because they listen to Slipknot without knowing what other bands they listen to. Yes i know there are a lot of 13 yr olds that listen to Slipknot and say their the heaviest band in the world. I've heard more Pantera and Lamb of Godon the radio than i've heard Slipknot. I only hear Slipknot when a person calls in and requests it. Slipknot didn't steal the mask idea from Mushroomhead. Mushroomhead paints their faces. Slipknot wears masks. How people came up with this idea is beyond me. To all the poseurs out there: Slipknot an awesome band, but you guys are making us look like idiots. Slipknot is not black metal, death metal, or thrash/speed metal. Slipknot is not the heaviest band in the world, so get a fucking life!. To all maggots and metalheads(i.e. not poseurs who only like them cause it pisses your fucking parents off): We should all be out there after the the members of Limp Dickshit, i mean Limp Bizkit, so we can kill them for making shit that some idiot decided to call 'music'(i'm using the term 'music' loosly). Especially that retarded asswipe Fred Durst.
Get a life and try a different genre of metal. You never know, you might actually like it.
MMFCL and stay (SIC) fuckers.

Plastic and worthless 9 member nu metal band from Des Moines, Iowa. Completely fake, followed almost entirely by a mainstream audience of stupid mallgoths that thing they are hardcore. Known for wearing masks on stage, an idea stolen from GWAR and Mushroomhead in an attempt to look as scary as possible, and they end up looking dumb. Known for an "energetic" live performance which consists entirely of more than 9 people on stage, only 3 playing, a fog machine or two, and a couple of people running around beating on random instruments like retards. They sing really badly written songs about depression that are sure to be up any emo kid's alley. Also well known for their drummer Joey Jordinson, who likes to go backstage after shows filled with 12 year olds and screw the girls, potentially the most overrated drummer ever. Only 3-5 members of the band ever do anything, and their sound could easily be pulled off by just 3 or 4. And finally, as Roadrunner Records (worst company ever) biggest bitches, they allow Roadrunner to control them entirely, producing and owning all their own music, giving them no say in how their band is run.
Slipknot is the worst band ever in my opinion, down there with Korn, Mudvayne, Otep, Fall Out Boy, Hawthorne Heights, hell really any other nu metal and emo band.

A group of like 13 no-talent assclowns who think they're hardcore. Their "music" sucks and blows. No, screaming and yelling is not music. The shitty, down-tuned nu metal sound is simply absurd. The strings are down so low they are virtually hanging off the neck, leaving a woolly, indistinct barrage of black noise, which is garbage.

A metal band from Iowa. Albums are-Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat (or MFKR), Slipknot, Iowa, and Vol. 3 The Subliminal Verses. Famous songs include Wait and Bleed, Duality, and Vermillion. Fans of more hardcore metal often go on about Slipknot being "mainstream" or "posers," but other people find anything more extreme than Slipknot lame and overdone. Band members often injure themselves performing, but the rest of the band will play without them. Joey Jordison is the "main man" of the band, who came up with the mask idea and does some of the interviews.
The best examples of Slipknot's music are Wait and Bleed, Duality, Left Behind, and Opium of the People.
