As a metal band they are kind of in the middle for me. They have some good songs but a lot of throwaway as well.

Thoughts?

They have a few great songs, a few good songs, and a shitload of mediocre-to-bad songs.

They haven't had a great song since 2008, so I think that ship has sailed.

Saw them in the early 2000's.  It was a fun show.

I like their first 3 albums more than later stuff. Sadly I didn't really start liking Slipknot until their 3rd album... With the masks and makeup, I immediately chalked them up as another ICP copy and never paid them any attention. Years later I heard them at a friend's house and checked them out more.

One of my favorites. Not all of their stuff is great, but it’s all at least good.

I actually like some of the newer stuff a lot. Dying Song is a banger.

You are wrong, fucked, and overrated,
I think I'm gonna be sick, and it's your fault,
This is the end of everything,
You are the end of everything,
I haven't slept since I woke up,
And found my whole is a lie, mother fucker,
This is the end of everything,
You are the end of everything!!!!

As someone that is a melodeath and black metal fan I put Slipknot on the same level as Seether, Skillet, Korn and Nickleback.

Not metal, maybe hard rock.

That's the opinion I hear the most. It's also mine.

Fun bit of trivia, the mask designer for the subliminal verses era was Screaming Mad George, who did FX for a lot of GD's favorite films, like big trouble in little China and predator.

I'd rather watch Rob Zombie in a small venue in Des Moines than a larger crowd at Wells Fargo arena and Slip Knot saying the crowd better react or they're going home.

This!  Saw em at Ozzfest 2004.  Was a good time.  They played on the second stage so they could be closer to the fans.  They had a monster circle pit going

Main stage:  Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Slayer, Dimmu Borgir, Superjoint Ritual, Black Label Society
Second stage: Slipknot, Hatebreed, Lamb of God, Atreyu, Bleeding Through, Lacuna Coil, Every Time I Die, Unearth, God Forbid, Otep, Devildriver, Magna-Fi, Throwdown, Darkest Hour, Disown




I dont listen to them much now, but they definitely had their place on my musical journey.

Wasnt a fan in high school when they came out. Their first 4 albums REALLY grew on me over the years and Id say Im a fan. However, they have developed a super disturbing trend of firing critical members of their band in a manner considered poor standing. After Paul Grey died, Clown and Taylor were left unchecked and began to get rid of members that werent on board with them. They did Jordison DIRTY, as well as most recently Jay Weinberg and Shawn Fehn.

Their musical work is always going to be amazing, and frankly Jim Root is super cool. Beyond that, the Slipknot I grew to love is no more. At least, my opinion of them now anyway.

I can't get into it, I usually like more true/cult metal, but when it comes to popular bands, Lorna Shore's stuff seems a hundred times better than slipknot

Their early stuff was consistently good and now there are definitely songs I will skip but there are a handful of the new songs that are really good

First time I saw them was the day off fest in Biloxi 2001.  I had heard their music before then but then opening the concert with Blind sealed the deal for me.  That day two of my favorite opening songs were played, blind and down with the sickness

I saw LOG open for Pantera in the Woodlands recently and it was spectacular. I’ve been a huge fan ever since.
