Mordred Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Why fuck with some thing that works though. If it ain't broke....Maybe cos its getting boring and is expected, something fresh is needed.This doesn't mean to say they cant do it again further down the line thou...

johnathan Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 no one will ever win this argument as there are reasons why they all got to be there and there is reasons why some are ALOT more important in the band than otherssomeone just said that they all have their thing to bring to the music or they wouldnt be there, i have read where joey has said that craig just turned up to practise one day and no one had the balls to tell him to leave....but.... he is an importand part of slipknot..... i saw slipknot on sunday night at glasgow and for the first time since they started using that line up they played with 8 instead of 9 as craig is undergoeing serious surgery. (but is doing really well for anyone who cares).anyway my point is that slipknot were not up to their usual amazing standards with alot of fuck ups on stage with the sound going wrong loads etc, maybe this was partially due to craig not being there, yeah there were people backstage doin his part but surely they dont know it as well as craig and this could have caused the hiccups with the overall sound.also i would have agreed with the part that shawn and chris dont get up to much apart from a visual thing..... until this new fucking album which totally proves that wrong, if you see them live with their marchin snare drums doing the blister exists, the preciseness of their side drumming is fucking awesome, on sunday the did the actual song iowa which involved chris and shawn providing the whole rhythm of the song with their drums which is the backbone of the song.anyways slipknot are truly an amazing band it would never be the same with any member missing at all no matter how lesser importance his part is, as corey said himself on sunday that it was the strangest feeling ever without spikehead standing behind him banging his head about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewan U.N.C.L.E. Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 I think, in true Harry Hill fashion the slipknot and slayer fans should've had a big ol fight to prove who was the best. oh, and it would've been slayer Why on earth are slipknot going on last on the british dates?! slipknot = Bad. slipknot fans dressed up as slipknot members = fucked up twats.im not really doing anything constructive here by the way, just rambling shit. but it is MY opinion that Slayer wiped the floor clean with all the other bands. Mastodon were pretty good but too quiet to get into it properly, and i was pishin through most of them. HAtebreed were uninspiring drivel (in MY opinion for fuck sake). SLipknot put on a good show if you like that sorta thing i suppose but nothing there for me. and the singers speech about wanting to be in scotland whilst doing some award show was fucking bent).slayer..................

psydoll Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Hey' date=' I've been a fan of the 'Knot since day one and think they are all ace in their own way. But Craig would not be missed if he left the band.When you watch the DVD with that camera feature, Craig does seem to spend a vast amount of time simply furiously headbanging and not "playing" his instrument. I know he does a lot of those unsettling rumbly noises and samples, but not so much that a casual punter would notice. Sid's fucking mental and gets the crowd going all the time. He has about as much musical input as Craig does when you see them live. You occasionally hear the odd sample or weird noise, but to be honest, they are nae really that high up in the mix. The core of the band is obviously Jim, Mick, Joey, Corey and Pigboy. I don't think "wanky nose" Chris or Clown can even play those tin cans, sorry, drums. The others are there to create choas and are more "visual" to the whole vibe of the band. With the exception of Craig, who just stands there headbanging and never interacts with the "maggots". Sid could do his parts in the studio.I don't think Craig could be classed as a "key" member of Slipknot at all. (Apart from the fact they would no longer be the "18 - legged hate machine." And they wouldn't have a gimp in the band any more.[/quote']I knew you'd post in this thread once the 'peripheral members of the 'Knot' subject came up! We've had this discussion about a thousand times! Nice to see that you managed to get nearly every Slipknot cliche in there as well with the exception of 'the sickness'. I'm off to sniff a dead crow in a jar that I've been keeping for a special occasion such as this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnathan Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 yeah they were awesome, you are kinda right about the having to konw their material thing before seeing them, i know all their material and listen to them all the time thinking about how great it would be to see them live and i did and that probably explains why i enjoyed them so fucking much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spleen_of_gold Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 Slipknot were ace, but they were not as good as they were at Glasgow download, sound was a bit fucked up. Hatebreed i don't know much of,but -Live For This- is a great song, not much movement for it though. . Wish Slipknot had acctually played Danger-Keep Away or at least let it play through to the end. They didnt play before I forget, it rocks. or did they? i dont think they did.Anyone stay at the eurohostel?, great place for parties. Wish I was still there, hate when good times end.

Rass Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 I think it's really cute the way people behave on here when they are behind a monitor' date=' especially when you know of the person that is trying to act "big". On the whole Slipknot arguement, my mate and I were discussing your arguments about Craig doing fuck all in the band. I could sit here and point out all of the samples, drum loops and general fucked up noise that he creates, but I'm not going to. What we did decide though, was that you could get rid of Sid, as he does very little, and Graig could sample Sid's parts and, as you say, "press the button" at the right times.[/quote']Could you expand on your little rant a tad? I am genuinely intrested in all these things that craig does, have been since i first listened to slipknot. i dont think slipknot would be slipknot without any member (just to clarify), but iam curious in what it is he does on a musical level, especially if your claiming that sid does so much less than him as sid does a hell of alot (especially for someone who spends so long in the moshpit).I just think its a shame that everyone is suddenly talking about the knot more indepth so close to the demise of the band.

rune Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 It seems a real strange line up where slayer play with the likes of slipknot.I think slayer are trying to cash in with more fans as their styles are so much different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skacel Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 it would be a pretty boring lineup if every band that played sounded the same.variety is the spice of life its like the article in rocksound this month with thursday and aerogramme supporting them.
