I really don't see how most people don't like them. I've always liked them since their self-titled album. Now their new album there is maybe like 3 or 4 songs off of it I will go back to listen to but I still think they are a pretty good band.

I was a big fan once, although I grew out of them shortly after Iowa. I recently ripped those two albums out of curiosity, and I must say I find the self-titled quite enjoyable still. I even still remember that whole "Saved, you're such a slave" part in Liberate off by heart. Iowa doesn't do much for me, although the title track is still unbelievably awesome.

Slipknot are a metal band without any doubt. Not all that interesting one imo, but one none the less.

Well that's clearly dependant on your definition of heavy, because by all common standards, Iowa is much much much heavier.

I happen to Love slipknot for several reasons

Corey Taylors Lyrical Talent is simple amazing hes lyrics go so in depth its quite amazing..the vocabulary this man has.

I love the percussion not only is it unique but they pull it off so well

all of these men are very talented and most have been in several diffrent bands or are still in some.

people might complain there not heavy enough orn ot metal enough..and some complain that there going softer or there not what they use to be

but the fact remains slipknot alters there music not for profit or for anyone else but themselfs sure they make lots of money..but just because you make lots of money doenst make you a sellout they stick to orginal thoughts and ideas and are constantly trying to find new creative ways to write there music and the fact that they are very loyal to there fans and they do what bands are meant to do they go and they entertain there fans and they never dissapoint every time you go to a slipknot show its a experience like no other any maggot thats been to one would agree with me i personnaly have been a fan of them since i first heard there self entitled album and every album sence because every album brings its own sence of creativity and uniqueness.

this person is most definitely a maggot

Going with what Elliot said, I respect Corey Taylor moreso as a person for the fact he actually has a free and thinking mind more than most others.

Other than that, as I've said before, I don't care much for the band.

When I first heared Slipknot, I thought, "Yah know? They're okay. Not something I would just turn on just to hear."

Now, I'm a fucking Maggot. I love 'em, my fav band, in fact. \m/ ^___^ \m/

i would rather kill myself to even consider to listen to slipknot again.

When it comes down to it, you wouldn't do it really.......would ya.....

I would rather listen to music I like than even consider listening to Slipknot again.
