So who else likes teh 'Knot?
They got me in to metal back in '99/'00, tender age of 6.
Still love 'em. Song's like Pulse of the Maggots, Spit it Out, and People=s**t are full of win, no matter what the poser a** 'metal head' douches say. Hell, they are popular as a ********, and they still haven't sold out, still cranking out Albums, touring, and so on. An their not some fake as band who doesn't care about the fans, they put on a hella good show, one of the best on the mother ******** planet.

New album and tours coming out this year, can't wait.

You do know its bands like Slipknot that gave us the poser metal heads with the 'more metal then thou' attitude, prior to them, we were happy dressing like normal people, just with boots, better t-shirts and long hair.

They have a few good tracks, but beyond that, I'm not a fan, its all a bit... well generic 'angry at the world' for me.

I'd say Behemoth kick started the whole Metal snobbery scene.

They don't even claim to be Teh Uber hxc Metal, but more of a genre on their own.
Unique sound, for sure. Awesome members, too.

But they have alot more than 'angry' songs, which is what makes up most metal, they also have some pretty deep songs, without 'trying' to be deep, they even wrote a song dedicated to a 7 year old murder victim, which was very popular, but removed later do to law bullshit.
They also have some pretty cool mixed songs, with elements like House, Techno, and so on.
Plus, they have inspiring songs that aren't about pity and s**t.
My favorite, all though soft core song by them, would have to be 'Pulse of the Maggots' one of the few songs ever to be dedicated to their fans AND be good.
Ever listen to People=s**t, you'd know they aren't some self pity band, and they actually are against the metal core kiddies they seem to attract, like the Manson fans.
In People=s**t, one of the most famous lyrics of the song is "I'm not Satan, so what do you want from me?" Refering to the poser a** mall core kiddies, and "I'm not like you, ********." which is obviously mocking the emo/goth kids.

But meh, I think they are still full of epic win.

Pretty good Live performance, one of my favorites, over in Aussy.
Real friendly people, I hate the bands who try to be all Dark, depressed, harcore, and so on.

But its been done before and done to death, lest we forget Anthrax pretty much set the precedent you just described.

Meh, IMO, Anthrax=over rated thrash. I just don't like Ian though, for some reason.
I'd say, Public Enemy>Anthrax, in the Colab.

Hell.Yes.
Finally.
People need to check the metal sub forum, on any website really, pure snobbery.

They think your' music is s**t if you can understand them and they do more than punch guitars.
Like Behemoth, toted around like teh uber shiz. and they suck.
You know, I honestly seen a whole group, including the metal mods, agreeing that they hate Symphony X now, because they have a album out in Wal-Mart. Before, everyone who was anyone in the metal community worshiped them. Just because a band gets abit popular, doesn't equal instant suck fest. But like Fall out Boy popular, then they suck almost always.

Most of my favorite bands like Bon Jovi, Motley Crue and Guns N Roses, cds are sold in Wal mart/Asda and they're amazing still.

Most kids like black metal because it makes them superior.

Oh and it pisses off their parents.

Classic rock has always been my favorite genre.

Stupid angsty teens, they hate emo so much, yet the act like them with the angsty teen-ness and such.
I do like a few 'metal' bands though, speaking of the more Grindcore-equ kind, I just can't stand Job for a Cowboy and bands like that.

Never was a Nu-Metal fan.
Slipknot was one of the reasons, today I have yet to hear a nu-metal band and enjoy it, but I keep trying in hopes.

Never was a Nu-Metal fan.

Nu-Metal was both a time specific genre, and a heavily hip hop influenced genre.
Both of which SlipKnot completely strayed away from.
If anything, SlipKnot is more influenced by Trance and House. Nu metal is usually quote 'metal' with rapping.
SlipKnot doesn't rap and or wear their pants low and sing about the hood.
Fred Durst (Limp Biskit) would be an example of Nu-metal, him coming out big in parts of the late 90's and rapping.
