Slipknot Band • Page 2

This live DVD from the year after Iowa came out was the first Slipknot thing I ever came across. Had never seen anything like it before.

"This song is going to kick your fuckin ass, London. This song.. is called... Disasterpiece, heeere we gooooo..."

 

Slipknot and Marilyn Manson were the only two artists that really scared the shit out of me as a child

 

Add NIN for me.

 

Yeah watching the “Happiness in Slavery” vid at 11 left uhhh quite an impression

 

What is everyone's album rankings for Slipknot?

 

Iowa > S/T > Volume 3 > Grey > All Hope Is Gone

 

DITTO

Iowa > S/T > Volume 3 > Grey > All Hope Is Gone

 

Oh man, Disasterpiece is still one of my favorite live records. That version of "Purity" is my absolute favorite.

 

"This song is is about a girl.... in a box." My friends say that to each other all the damn time. No context needed.

I don't find live Slipknot records particiaularly interesting because, no joke, ever track begins with "This song is called....".

 

1. Iowa
2. Slipknot
3. All Hope is Gone
4. Vol. 3
5. Grey

 

I'd swap three and four, but this is pretty spot on.

 

I would ask "does anyone really want that?" but the Knot has done 10th anniversry ediitions of the previous 3 albums, so it makes sense.

 

If anything, the new artwork will look cool. I loved what they did with the Iowa 10th anniversary.

 

It's also a Roadrunner thing to do 10th Anniversary editions.

 

I'm glad Iowa being their best album seems to be the agreed upon here

 

I think that is universally agreed upon

 

1. Iowa
2. Vol 3
3. Slipknot
4. All Hope Is Gone
5. Grey

Grey was a bit of a bummer for me, couldn't get into it all to be honest...

 

1. Slipknot
2. Iowa
3. All Hope Is Gone
4. Vol. 3
5. Grey Chapter

 

Why didn’t they name it “5: The Gray Chapter” instead of “.5”? That bugs the shit out of me.

 

Does that bug you more than the cover art?

 

Okay, I'm officially sick of the new song. lol

 

I strongly dislike the name and the cover of ".5: The Grey Chapter". The music, however, is fantastic.

 

Ha, yea it does. The art reminds me of a pop punk band but whatever.

 

Yea Gray Chapter's cover is a bit...gaudy might be the way I'd describe it? I dunno, it's weird though and not in the way they should be. But it's whatever.


So I get that All Hope Is Gone is very whatever to most fans and it's very much unlike Slipknot but.....lowkey there are some fuckin great tracks on it. Wherein Lies Continue and Gemetria still get me.
