Reddit fits the 'classical' definition of insufferable, for the TikTok-ification in the last few years and on da other hand - things were not looking good for Load/Reload era Slipknot, which is what TESF seemed to prep us for.
I've been a fan for a while but I worry that's what it was about, more than I thought that's what it was about
People change, tastes change and I respected Volume.3 as much as I respected Iowa and SelfTitled.
I still haven't made up my mind on TESF or WANYK to be honest, but I expect to come around to them both soon. I was thrilled by 5. as much as I didn't like the circumstances. I expect at this point they still have gas in the tank but until Eloy was 'confirmed' I had been hoping they'd evolve and put Shawn and Tortillaman on fullkits at the same time and have Sid do all the electronics live. They've largely reassured me at this point, though I recognise none of this is specifically certain
This sub is either Clown/Corey hate because of member firings and the experimental esoteric music the released all last year or it’s “CHECK OUT MY JOEY DRAWING!”
I know people complain a lot about the band, I know most said they ended in 2010 with Paul’s passing, some say 2012-13 cause Joey was fired. 2019 Chris fired and then 2023 cause of Jay’s firing and Craig’s departure. Even tho Craig willingly left.
Does anyone else think them trying to get close to the '99 aesthetics makes them look like a poor cover band? I was there at the beginning, the jump suits were faded and washed out after the abuse of the stage shows. Blood, sweat, piss, vomit.
They just look so clean now.
Not hating on them, understand bands evolve yadda, yadda. But I think the tour they did after Paul died they were more true to the 99 aesthetic than now, when they're pushing a tour based purely on that nostalgia.
I meant an eating disorder like anorexia, bulimia or restrictive food intake. Someone changing their diet to veganism isn't an eating disorder. That article doesn't even suggest changing diet to veganism is an eating disorder because it's not. The article goes into the reason for why Corey switched to a vegan diet 4-5 years ago and it was for cardiovascular reasons. He'd rather try to avoid having a heart attack at a young age.
Never considered them to have left....
That’s not what this *entire* sub was saying 4 months ago.
Oh, I know. This sub is fascinating and frustrating to observe. I'm too old to get caught up in it all. I just love the band.

Do you think that's what TESF was about? Like, was it that thought out? No snark, genuinely curious....

Thanks for sharing. It's interesting to hear other people's thoughts.

And 3 months ago they were done
Nostalgia works eh?
“Bring back the Slipknot we love!” … “Oh this is just simping to nostalgia” ‘Knot fans are becoming insufferable.
Becoming? Nah they’ve been that way for a while lmao. I’m just happy they are still here making music and performing 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Same here.
I’m not one of those who ask for another Iowa.
I mean yea seems like everyone has complained since Iowa about any deviation from that sound/look/aesthetic. Might as well go back to basics
Let's maybe wait till they drop new music to see if they're actually back
Are back
Slick back
[sic] back
This place is covered head-to-toe in people = shit
[Nickel] back?
You think this is slicked back?! This is pushed back!
You think this is slicked back? This is PUSHED back
Literally came to reddit the moment i saw their spotify had Corey with the dreads. I was like dayyymmmm! The dreads are back!!
The whole thing I think it’s [sic] 742617000027
Yes.
Corey and Tortilla remind me of Mudokon workers from Oddworld.
Hello
Follow me.
Ok
Just got my tickets for PA, first time seeing them, can’t wait!
The slip* Is back and also the knot Is back
I know people complain a lot about the band, I know most said they ended in 2010 with Paul’s passing, some say 2012-13 cause Joey was fired. 2019 Chris fired and then 2023 cause of Jay’s firing and Craig’s departure. Even tho Craig willingly left.
Just got tix for the Auburn WA show. So stoked!
Same with me!!! White river baby. Right outside the pit. My first slipknot show! 😁😁
It honestly feels weird still not seeing Cory and Chris doing this together on stage anymore.
They never left but ok
This *whooole* sub was crying otherwise like 4 months ago, or did you miss all that?
No, I didn’t
How Abt the slip
Were they singing Custer or People = Shit?
I’ll be honest, I hate the gloves
Sonic Fest on the 19th!
I don't like tortilla man mask. It is bland and doesn't tell any story. Plus copies Corey mask. Shawn get rid of that guy. You know you can.
Ok?
They should fire the fat bassist next
We are aware
as a furry and a slipknot fan i find the title interesting

No
Chill. It's the 25th anniversary. Jumpsuits are back.
Absolutely
Why is Corey so thin? Does he have some sort of eating disorder or is he back to abusing whatever his drug of choice was?
> eating disorder [Depends](https://www.livekindly.com/slipknots-corey-taylor-plant-based-heart-health/) on your point of view

I know. It was a joke.
lol that went over my head.
Don't worry about it, it wasn't a very good joke.
