whenever "My Pain" comes on I picture the two drummers frowning behind their masks, heads slumped

the dual guitar action in "a liar's funeral" is so sweet
― american bradass (BradNelson), Monday, 12 August 2019 16:00 (four years ago) link
when i first heard that song i was like "oh no is this the ballad" and i got very pleasantly surprised
it kinda reminds me of mastodon tbh

i'm listening to vol. 3 for the first time in a while and i forgot how much the mastering job hurts
"duality" is such a fuckin good song though

"I'm overthrown / I'm over your throne" might be the ultimate Slipknot-ian refrain

the guitars on "A Liar's Funeral" remind me of Death which is awesome and not something I expected going into this

part of me thinks djp will really dig the new record

A lot of underground types who usually abhor Slipknot are begrudgingly admitting to liking the new record in my admittedly small social media small sample size.

I was out for a beer at a chill local bar (dogs allowed!) on a Sunday night, and the goober working the taps was blasting Korn and Slipnot (and spending more time managing said playlist of Korn and Slipnot than serving beer). Needless to say, it was not chill.

i love this band

been going back over the older albums - I think Vol 3 is the best one before the new one, shame about the wearying production, but a great batch of songs by and large
― Simon H., Monday, 16 December 2019 17:18 (four years ago) link
yeah that's otm i think, i only prefer iowa bc vol. 3 is so hard to listen to

I love what Jay Weinberg brings to this band

Bizarrely BBC4 have got a documentary about Slipknot on right - like does anyone in the UK even care about Slipknot? Anyway, I doubt I've ever heard them before, but it's kind of OK, not my thing though.

Joey Jordison the band's drummer has died! I am legitimately shocked at this news.

jesus, that’s terribleI never mentioned it in the thread since he was next door at the time, but my former neighbor was in an early version of the band (up to the release that they now refer to as their “demo” I think) and he was pretty broken up when Gray died a fair number of kids had slipknot bumper stickers on their shitty high school kid cars in the school parking lot in the mid 90s

dude was supremely talented. one of my favorite drummers of all time. i can’t believe this (except i sorta can given the severity of his health problems, but also still can’t)
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Wednesday, 28 July 2021 03:39 (two years ago) link
This is terrible news. He had completely recovered from that MS like thing he was suffering when he left the band, no? Either way, what a loss.

i'm listening to "wait and bleed" and i never think of double-bass drum playing as a feature of nu-metal, many of those bands felt like they were retreating from the busier evolutions of metal music, but jordison's extremely funky double-bass work... yo

really good new song that sounds like a direct continuation of the last album

All the super triggered drums in this kind of stuff always sounds to me like someone drumming their hands on a tabletop.

First single/video from the new album looks and sounds super Code Orange-y to me, and/but I'm kiiiiinda into it. Need to go back and revisit the last album, see if it's still as good as I remember.

My work laptop is set up with Bing as its home page and it's just suggesting the story "Slipknot announce the departure of keyboardist Craig Jones after 27 years" and I'm bemused to see that the story is from ... The Daily Mail.
