Rate This Band: Slipknot

1 being the worst and 5 being the best. From what I heard I would say a 4.

I'd say a solid 4 is fair. I like a lot of the stuff they put out.

They are terrible in every way possible/5.

I. Hate. Slipknot.

1/5 or lower if possible.

I like 'em.

1 dead bassit/5

When they do Pop-Nu-Metal, they are ok at what they do. But when they try to do that wanna be metal, they are a terrible band. Sadly they do the later rather than the other.

Man there music is relly heavy br00tal stuff. Fav deth rock band.

Everyone always tries to tell me they aren't heavy. Just because there are some bands out there that are heavier doesn't make Slipknot not heavy. :P 4/5

2, i hate all their songs except "If you're 555 I'm 666". Which I absolutally love

In an interview with mtv.com, Slipknot percussionist Shawn Crahan declares that Slipknot is the "hardest" and "heaviest" band.

"Listen, we are the hardest ever," he said. "We blow all bands away. I don't give a **** who your band is. I've probably played with your band, and you don't show me **** So, it's like, is this band heavy? Oh, yeah, we're the heaviest. We're heavy thinkers, heavy hitters, heavy writers and heavy people, but it's emotionally heavy. There's a lot of emotion on this record, and we're all on the same page with our own emotions, so you're finally seeing the kings of all the courts bringing their kingdom's jewels in for one gigantic war."

Besides discussing the upcoming LP, he also went on to say:

"No one has done what we have done, this is a war, man. The **** that we do, nine guys trying to ****ing write together, and keep this insanity going? Does anybody take the time to realize that? For me, this is like going to Vietnam, serving your tour and then the government asking you to do another tour because you're a badass. We've got 10 purple hearts, and we're ****ing killers. This isn't your rock and roll; this is our rock and roll."

Slipknot is a joke.

Their 1st and 3rd albums are great. Their 2nd and 4th albums are absolutely horrible. So, about half of the time, they're a good band, so I suppose 5/10 works for them. If the pattern keeps up, I'm really looking forward to their next album (but not so much the one after that).

They were getting interviewed by MTV, I think that sums them up.

I'd give them a solid four our five; I have their entire discovery on vinyl and love it. Iowa is my favorite song and All Hope is Gone is my favorite album of theirs.

Is there anything lower than zero?

If there is, that is my answer

I give em a 8/10. They have some pretty good songs but then some lame ones too. I love their masks though. Its a shame that Paul Grey died. I hope they release an album dedicated to him, like what Avenged Sevenfold did when the Rev died.

1/5

Boring, boring musicians.

-9000/10

They're awful and their masks make me hate them even more.

i'm not generous enough to give them a 1/5.

When I was younger I liked them, but that's about it 2/5.

...

**** them, 1/10.

a 2/5, i give them credit for there aesthetics... as for there music...

im very picky with nu metal

I liked them in middle school and had high expectations when I saw them in concert a few years back. Huge dissapointment :( I still like Wait and Bleed, though.

They don't even come close to being as good or as talented as Opethbut they are decent. 3/5.

Or even better, this puts everything by Slipknot to shame in my bookOpeth - Deliverance.
