Yeah… I’ve read that Paul Gray was one of their best creative minds. Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they broke up after this. It’s a real tragedy. Slipknot was a great band.

Unless, that is, they shift the members around and make someone else in the band play bass and truck on with 8 people. That’s possible. As far as bringing in a new guy…. I wouldn’t count on it.

Actually, Waking The Fallen has to be the shittiest CD I’ve ever listened to. It sounds like a terribad local band. Even if it might have set the generic standard, it still sucks. With that being said, Slipknot is indeed better. Rest in peace, Paul.

Since when is something that’s four paragraphs a “huge essay”? Guess your small, infantile brain must have really struggled to get through the giant wall of text, my god there had to have been over 100 whole words there!

You also may want to look into something called punctuation and grammar, as everything you’ve written thus far is sorely lacking both.

Glad you also recognize that hiding behind a computer screen gives you the right to act like a complete scumbag, fuckhead. Just remember what you said the next time someone close to you dies. Maybe you’ll understand how much of a careless piece of shit you were to say the things you did.

Better stop here, otherwise I’ll end up writing another “huge essay”, god forbid you’d have to actually USE your brain for something other than shit talking.

I’ll indulge you some more here since I’ve got some time on my hands. First of all, funny you would call anyone stupid considering your spelling, punctuation, and grammer are on about a fifth grade level. Did you spend too much time listening to all those great, tr00 bands to pay attention in English class? If four paragraphs of text are an “essay” to you, I can’t begin to imagine how long it would take you to finish a whole book.

And if you “can’t believe” someone would get pissed off at a comment that says, “I hope (this person) dies”, then you’re even more of a fucking moron than I think now. Like I said twice now, you won’t be singing the same tune when one day you mom or dad dies. Who the fuck cares if you like Slipknot or not? It’s a human being we’re talking about. I think brokencyde is the worst thing to ever happen to music but I certainly don’t wish harm upon any of the members and it would be a sad day if any one of them died a premature death. That’s something called basic human decency, a trait which you clearly lack.

Another thing: when did I ever refer to myself as a “maggot”? I didn’t. Being a fan of Slipknot does not make me a self-proclaimed maggot. I admit how stupid it is for the band to have come up with that gimmick, but big freakin’ deal, it doesn’t make their music any less awesome to me.

Also, who said the band has fallen apart? One guy died, I’m sure they’ll go on without him. If they don’t, that sucks but it’s a band, they aren’t essential to my existence. I feel horrible for Paul’s family and friends and am not overly concerned as to the future of Slipknot. They probably had one more album in them at most anyway, if they decide to call it quits, so be it. The guys will continue to make music with other bands.

Oh, and all the bands you listen to are “ture” to the music? Not really sure what that means but I can only assume you meant to say “true”. Who the hell are you to say Slipknot’s output isn’t a genuine expression of who they are? Trend hopping bullshit? How about Slipknot MADE the trends who countless bands have followed. Have you checked blabbermouth recently to see all of the comments from major bands who consider Slipknot a game changer? And the comments just keep coming in, so clearly some very talented people think highly of Slipknot. That shouldn’t be any bearing on whether you like them or not, but it goes to show you your opinion is just that, a subjective interpretation based on your own preference. I couldn’t care less what you think of Slipknot, what I care about is your complete lack of respect of another human being.

Love how you say none of the bands you listen to have fallen apart because they’re “ture to their music” (sic), as if Slipknot’s bassist died because they are trend hopping hot topic shit. Reading your words has made me dumber, thanks for that. I’m so happy for you, you’re, like, the coolest person on earth because all the bands you listen to are tr00. I bet you can’t find ANY of their shirts at places like hot topic. And I also bet they have sold all of 4,000 records worldwide because they’re just THAT awesome.

Last point I’ll make: just because a band is accessible to a larger audience doesn’t make them trend hoppers, nor does it make their music any less genuine an art form. Like I said, talk all the shit you want on whatever band you want, I couldn’t care less since your opinion means about as much as the 2 pound shit I just finished taking. Fact is, Slipknot has sold millions of records and they will be remembered as a huge act in metal history, like it or not.

You call me a “kid” yet you talk about what you’re going to do when you get home from school tomorrow? LOL!!!!!!

I point out your grammatical errors because any self-respecting human being should know how to use their language CORRECTLY. Of course, it’s painfully evident you aren’t a self-respecting individual, you’re some jackass high school or college kid who thinks the world revolves around him.

And as for your judgment of my knowledge of metal, all good. Do you think I really care of your worthless opinion? I’ve been listening to metal since 1988; how old were you then? Were you even BORN? LOL. By the way, funny how you talk shit on a band like Slipknot when the real clowns are black metal morons who think they’re so tr00 by dressing up in corpse paint, spikes, and leather. Not much of a difference between that and putting on jump suits and masks if you ask me.

You’re right, though, I don’t like black metal, or, at least “proper” black metal (blackened thrash is great, so are certain bands influenced by BM, but overall the genre is shit). Try listening to some Anaal Nathrakh, The Postman Syndrome, Leng Tch’e, or Abacinate.

LOL. Now go study for that english exam you have tomorrow.

…I’ll continue because now this is just too much fun. You say I have no idea “what metal stands for”? Really? Please educate me on what exactly it is that metal stands for. Seeing as how there are countless sub genres, there’s no way you can point to a singular defining characteristic that encompasses what metal is about.

Sure, there are common themes; some bands are heavily influenced by political and social commentary while others delve into moralistic and religious (or anti-religious) ideals. Some bands are downright silly and just in it for fun (see: hair metal, comedy metal, glam metal), some sing to the tune of self-assertion, personal exploration, and standing up for oneself (see: hardcore).

Then you’ve got bands who use serial killers, slasher flicks, and medical terminology to come up with gruesome lyrics about death, murder, rape, violation, dissection, blood, gore, etc. (see: goregrind, death metal). Also can’t forget about black metal and it’s innate connection to Satanism; Pagan/Folk metal draws upon historical mythology of various Eastern European and Scandanavian countries, as does Viking Metal. Power metal is driven by fantasy and science fiction; Doom/Sludge metal is often formulated by topics meant to elicit fear and an impending sense of, you guessed it, doom.

Then you’ve got your stoner metal bands who have a strong connection, lyrically speaking, to the psychedelic bands of the 60s and 70s. Anarchy is a pretty common theme in metal as well, especially with bands who are more punk influenced.

The list goes on and on. Point being, good luck trying to find a unifying theme throughout ALL metal. But I guess since you’re such a super intelligent metalhead, you must already know these things. Oh wait, no, no you had no idea because you’re clearly some 15 to 18 year old fucktard who likes to run his mouth about things which he knows not. Fucktastic fuckstick!
