Do you consider slipknot metal?

tell me what you think about slipknot

yes, its a wonderful nu-metal band..used to listen do it a lot, but now i am converted to DnB, Dub and some jungle in and between

some peopke say it isnt considered metal and if you listen to it your a poser, i think they are pretty cool, if all you listen to is slipknot and call yourself a metal head then your a poser right?

SlipKnot is totally metal. I think their bass player just died. Too bad corey didnt tamper with the evidence Mayhem style.

I second that. You cant go wrong with some good ol Andy C or Calyx.

Jesus, i forgot about him dieing. You think the will get a new one? I would under stand if mick thomson died but a bass player is well, just a bass player.

You can pretty much mix him out of any track.

So geedy lee,steve harris,geezer butler these are just bass players huh....

slipknot aren't really metal, and the bassist is the most underrated member of nearly every band

Tell that to Les Claypool. Slipknot sucks diseased elaphantitis dog balls.

well most bassist's ive seen act like fuck shits. By that i mean, i saw a bassist from some band crouching down like he is taking a sh lmao sorry, let me try to find a pic of it. I think it was mettalica. i cant find the actual pic but here is what it looked like

Anyone know where i can get a chart of all the different types of metal?

Pah, it's angry and loud, call it metal, i get fed up with the number of sub genres there seem to be.

That aside though, i find slipknot too hit and mmiss for my liking, half are great songs, half are utter shite. Too many bands like that these days. Havn't found a whole good album in many a year, just seems to be the odd songs

metal or not is typically relative to the individual. i completely agree with the post above me
