i never got into iowa

i keep meaning to retry it, but it sounded like a load of silly noise, where as vol.3 has heaviness, noise and acoustic moments

come on i said its not as diverse as vol.3 but silly noise is a bit far.give it a go.the first time i heard track 12 on vol.3 (cant remember its name now) i had to pick my jaw up from the floor.the one thats really acoustic and then really heavy.its mindblowing

ooops sorry misread your other post

but yeah, i need to give iowa another listen, and i know there were some great bits on there, but i got quite bored of listening to it each time i tried back then.

vermillion pt.2?

or danager - keep away?

I'm still

a massive fan. Vol.3 is probably their best album yet I'd say. I think I read they're in the studio now so maybe a July/August album release is a realistic assumption.

Just wish they'd hurry up and be announced for Download already, I'm feeling more and more, as time trickles on, that they're going to end up doing Leeds fest instead.

i'd love them to play reading again

(if i do have to go to see rage and 'tallica...) they were great n 2000

Album no. 4 is on the way

and i'm really excited. I found bits of Vol.3 a bit embarrassing, but i guess it's the same with any of their albums.

Still love Slipknot.

well they are a theme metal band from middle america

they are bound to be like that from time to time, but they are pretty good at what they do, and it's great for the kiddies :D

was trying to convince me they were good by playing me a song with the line

'CARVE MY NAME INTO MY FACE'

it didn't convince me

^ really?

i love Eyeless, (sic), Prosthetics, Purity, Scissors.

I guess Spit It Out was pretty poor, particularly lyrically

Ah noo

Spit it Out is a great track! Maybe I've got a soft spot for it because it's the track that got me into Slipknot, but still, cracking tune.

...MAN NEARLY KILLED ME
Steppin' where you fear to tread
Stop, drop and roll
You were dead from the git-go!
Big motherfucker, stupid cocksucker
If you're scared of me now? Then you're dumber than I thought
Always is, and never was
Foundation made of piss and vinegar
Step up to me, I'll smear ya
Think I fear ya? Bullshit!
Just another dumb punk chompin' at this tit
Is there any way to break through the noise?
Was it something that I said that got you bent?
It's gotta be that way if you want it
Sanity, literal profanity hit me!

Spit it out
All you wanna do is drag me down
All I wanna do is stamp you out (x2)

Maybe it's the way you gotta spread a lotta rumor fodder
Keepin' all your little spies and leaving when you realize
Step up, fairy
I guess it's time to bury your ass with the chrome
Straight to the dome
You heard me right, bitch, I didn't stutter
And if you know what's good, just shut up and beg, brother
Backstab - don't you know who you're dissin'?
Side swipe,we know the Ass that your kissin'
Bigity-biggidy bitch boy, halfway hauser
Don't hear shit cuz I keep gettin' louder
Come on, and get a face full 'o tatic
Lipping off hard, going home in a basket
You got no pull, no power, no nothin
Now you start shit?
Well, ain't that something?
Payoffs don't protect, and you can hide if you want
But I'll find you, comin' up behind you!

EEEEEEEEEEW

I couldn't

help reading those lyrics in a faux Fred Durst voice, they're pretty goddamn awful.

Haha,

I'm glad I'm not the only one who read it like that then.

yeah but it's slipknot

you can't take too mcuh from the lyrics, but yyeah the musicians really stepped it up on there

I heard....

Ross 'Whats treble?' Robinson didnt allow guitar solos and noodling lead lines, but Rick RUbin told them to go nuts......and they did.

DaveBusstsleg | 5 Mar '08, 13:27 | Send note | Report this | Reply

ok, that would make sense

they never really used to be a guitar band, but the last album did change that up...

Best Slipknot lyric...

"I can't stand and see
Your thalidomide robot face"

Seriously. That might be my favourite lyric ever. 'Iowa' and 'Vol.3' are incredible.

I saw this thread in the sidebar and said "gotta be a pieces_of_steve thread."

Never really got into Slipknot, they had a few good tracks from what I remember. Doesn't the clown keep a dead crow in a jar that he sniffs every now and then?

i think it's a way to appear down wit da kidz and heighten "controversial" behaviour which = record sales
