Slipknot - Problem or joke?

[thewill]

Just wonderd what you guys thought on this topic?. Do you belive slipknot are a serious problem for kids and leading them down the wrong path. Or do you feel that they are arent worth the effort and to ignore them?.

I approve not. Slipknot has negative messages in their lyrics, just as KoRn (my favorite band ) does. Anyone smart would stay away from that kind of music. I know for a fact that music has a huge influence in humans... and for me, listening to KoRn's music stirred up the same feelings they were singing about: vengeance, self-hate, hate torwards others, grudges, etc.

Slipknot is NO different... and to tell you the truth, they scare the **** out of me. Atleast the KoRn guys don't feel the need to look like demons when they're up on stage. *shiver*

Okay...I love SlipKnot...lol, I'm going to their concert on the 24th of April...And as any other of these topics. Music can fill you with different emotions, anger, sorrow, happiness...but we all have the choice to decide what we want to do with these emotions...You can't blame ANY music for someone going out and shooting people or causing violence...it's just not taking the responsibility for your own actions...

I'm listening to SlipKnot right now, and I'm as peaceful as ever

Im sorry but any band that performs with the letters 666 at either side of there stage are a problem to me. I think there music is a gimmic to to be honest. Everything about them is gimmicked and people wonder why they are a sucess. My problem is the fact that i see kids (anywhere from 5 - 18) running around in t shirts and tops with 666 and many other things on them to do with the band.

 

[cartridge]

Yes they are a problem they are encouraging children to listen to pure rubbish. I have no problem with their lyrics, my problem is that they are talentless, absolutly shocking. Bad fails to describe, dont get me wrong I like other stuff in the same genre, but slipknot are an insult to the idea of music, they are white noise.

 

[abeautifuldeath]

slipknot? humm they are one of the FEW nu-metal bands that i like. i also like bands such as throwdown, hatebreed, marilyn manson, the murderdolls, the distillers, rancid, anti-flag, the misfits, fdq, and many others...as you can see i like many different types of rock .

 

[theFijian]

Joke. Not a particularly funny one.

While we're on this subject, why do peope seek to blame music/musicians for the attitudes and/or actions of young people? Isn't there normally soimething a bit more fundamental at work?

cheers,
Andy

 

[abeautifuldeath]

why do people think they are a joke>? i mean they are just a bunch of kids that were bored one day and said "hey dude...i know! we should go start a band! wooo!"...i mean yea, they did sorta "borrow" the mask idea from gwar, but that does not really make them a joke either...and if you think it does then you must be one to judge things by appearance....

 

[draper]

Haha I'll vote for 'joke'. The stuff I've heard by them has been atrocoious.

 

[blackwasp]

The genre is a joke. The problem is that people find this to be music.

They were once the epitome of "nu-metal" and I'm willing to state they still are even though I don't get into their music as much anymore. Slipknot is "ok" but not the best by any means, entertaining in concert is all I would say.

For those of you against them for "666" reasons, you are aware that at least 50% of the band are theist, if not Christian, are you not? They use their image to look different from all the other bands you see everyday. It is good marketing to have your fans recognize you and your opposition remember you. Sure many of their lyrics can be blasphemous, but that's no reason to rule out their ability.

 

[active ingredients]

slipknot is definetly not something worth listening to. if you like slipknots sound and not there lyrics, then you should listen to a christian band called demon hunter (they have a relatively similar sound).

 

[[666]]

SLIPKNOT ARE THE BEST COZ YOUR 555 AND THEN IM 666 AND ITS NOT A JOKE IT IS THE BEST MUSIC PLAYED WHEN YOU CAN PLAY MUSIC AT THAT SPEAD AND THAT WELL YOU CAN CALL THEM WHAT EVER THE **** YOU LIKE ! COZ I AM [666]

it doesnt really matter if one says their a christian, its more important they act it. to say your a christian and act bad is worse.

So they're not allowed to look their own way, curse sometimes and inspire unity within those lesser classes of teenage sub-groups and still be a "good christian" in your eyes?

I've never heard back actions of them. The majority spread is completely false, their concerts are good musical shows, not a lot of stage props, just music and the band. The non theistic side show that plays less instruments supply much of the entertainment. I've just never seen what was so wrong with them, and by the looks of it, a lot of other people just have preconceived notions.

I'm with you on this one.

=>Right on!!! Slipknot`s Lyrics are Sicker than the Sickness itself
and the Lead-singer of SlipKnot said in an interview that He doesnt know nothing SICKER, than this "WorldWideReligion", meaning re-born christians
i think. this guy sure turns good to evil. (too BAD for him)
And the one who Talks about JESUS is called RELIGIOUS, why does Slipknot
use 666 and shout out blasphemic rhymes, if they are against RELIGIOUSNESS.

They sure dont know that Christianity is Relationship with Lord.
amen, PinkLoveBall great attidute! Most Toughest=>

 

[KenobiKid]

Joke. I had hoped they had gone away so I wouldn't have to see a million teens with their shirts on at the mall this summer, but looks like they have a new album coming out.

 

[oldrooster]

If you don't like them, don't listen to them.

 

[Red Chief]

well i sure dont listen that, their idea of GOOD going is thoving up their own urine & excrement to the crowd, while engouraging the listeners to use weed,


and oh, KenobiKid watch out with that Lightsaber
