Very loud, very fast band. Fastest drummer I've ever heard, and the rest of the band keeps up and in time. Not the most complicated or artisticly impressive music, but fuck it - it's metal... what do you want?
In the rare moments the vocalist sings, his voice is pretty decent. 90% of the time, he belches out words in a rapid-fire growl-scream that makes your throat hurt to listen to. Effective for the lyrics and crowd Slipknot plays to.
If one is to believe that Slipknot's lyrics represent the true feelings of the band, these guys wake up more pissed off and hateful than any remotely sane human should ever be in the worst situation imaginable. Therefore, it is safe to say they are a marketing creation geared toward angst-ridden 15-23 year old white males. On drugs. A lot of drugs. A lot of hard, powerful, brain-raping drugs. (The band - not necessarily the target market.)
Technically impressive, artistically passable, lyrically horrid to the point of amusement.
Fear anyone who belives Slipknot's lyrics were written just for him out of pages from his life. The average disaffected adolescent white boy is destructive enough - if he rallies around Slipknot lyrics, you've got another Timothy McVeigh just waiting to happen.

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.

Slipknot is either loved or hated by the people. Its like marmite, you either love it or you hate it. I personally think that Slipknot are a great band and extremely talented, if you think otherwise, thats your opinion, not mine.
A fan of Slipknot is generally called a maggot

a band that got soft and crappy about the same time they got a record deal. The album before the self titled and that awful IOWA, was Mate Feed Kill Repeat, much better songs, that were inspired by metal and not $$ or whatever the fuck they are today, They sound like that nu-metal garbage. Download the songs somewher or somethig youd be surprised it is slipknot if you even have heard of this cd you know what i am talking about.

A decent band from iowa. You either love them or hate them.
Most people class there as Nu-Metal but id class it as a mix between Nu metal, Rap metal and industrial metal
