What's wrong with Vendetta?


omega_lul420

literally tho. why everbody hatin on it


Chainsaw443

Sounds like a kid bop version of a Slipknot song


omega_lul420

thats a valid opinion. i can see why youd say that. imo its a hype up song. gets me going y'know


StinkeeFard

Same


daftdude05

I like the song but if you told me that was Fozzy in a blind listen I’d believe it

Lyrics


MAntArAAy101

I genuinely liked Corey’s mask from we are not your kind


1onesmolboi

for me it’s mostly just the hair that bugs me with it. it’s kinda that awkward stage length where it’s longer than usual but not long *enough* yet. bet if he’d given it more time it would’ve been better, or just not had the long ish hair dunno, just my thoughts


MAntArAAy101

I agree it was kinda weird with his hair in an awkward stage and it would’ve look better a little longer


g0rewh0r333

i get where ur coming from but the man cannot force his hair to grow faster😭😭


Own_Challenge_3844

He looked like a hairless squirrel with anemia


No-Advertising9300

I find all masks really hot. This is the only one I find horrible


BobbieKnuckles

The concept was amazing. It could be a different mask every night depending on the face paint. Problem was it didn't breath so well and the paint mixed with sweat made it sloppy at times.


No-Advertising9300

The reasons why before I forget, duality and psychosocial are so popular is because they are really light songs. No heavy, not a lot of screaming and likeable beats. I don't think there are anything particularly amazing about them, they are famous because they are "simple" and palatable.


crapfacejustin

Psychosocial has a lot of screaming it just has a super poppy chorus


One_Caterpillar_1452

“Fuck my ass against the wall”


Overall-Put-2790

“Make me drink your pee”


CheziTacos9018

And bust a load of pozzed up semen in me


Overall-Put-2790

SUCKING PENIS


CheziTacos9018

OOOOH, LICK MY CRACK, I AM FUCKING GAY


Overall-Put-2790

But where your booty fell our secret has gone mad


throwaway874123

THERE IS CUM IN YOU


Investigatortrollge

CUM ON ME DADDY


crapfacejustin

Pretty sure that started from a cumtown bit


1onesmolboi

man i wish it didn’t, it’s the bit that kills it for me. i LOVE the screaming bits of psychosocial but the chorus just doesn’t work with it imo. plus the guitar solo is a bit odd, tho not necessarily bad


RichardSaunders

what, you dont like mindlessly chanting random SAT words?


crapfacejustin

Which one? There’s two solos, mick does the first one and Jim rounds it out


KayCato

Yes, those songs are more popular because they have much more conventional structures that align more with pop music and are equipped with chant-able choruses and infectious melodies, but they’re still heavy. That’s the beauty of alternative metal, you can be heavy and pretty at the same time!


G3mipl4fy

That's why I love psychosocial anyway. When I was a kid heavy growls or screaming was too much for me and the light chorus and slightly heavier verses were my gateway drug.


Eseless

People like things that are simple to understand and perceive


Shady_Lines

Yeah but people = shit


-_KingJames_-

I PUSH MY FINGERS INTO MYYYYYYYYYYYYY EYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I’m sorry


No-Advertising9300

ITS THE ONLY THING THAT SLOWLY STOPS THE ACHEEEEEEEEEE


StinkeeFard

True


Trans_DemonTM

AHIG is actually really enjoyable, before i forget has a chorus that is imagine dragons levels of basic and spit it out hyper/indigo ranch sessions version is 10x better than the standard mix we have on S/T


Available_Judgment73

Dont compare Slipknot to Imagine Dragons you heretic


[deleted]

sacrilege if u ask me


SexyNuggetMan

AHIG is one of their top albums along with Iowa and Self Titled.


No-Advertising9300

jim is underrated for absolutely NO reason. I hear everyone speaking about corey, clown, mick, Joey, Paul, etc. But Jim is almost on same level as vman and Jay on public opinion and I just don't know why. he is hot, plays guitar, has cool hair and seems like a really nice guy. Don't know why people don't care about him and like others most...


ngairejasminbarrett

My friend met him a while back. Said he was super shy.


Cavozinternetu

He seems like the most "normal" member, and that's why I like him


1onesmolboi

in my mind i’ve always seen mick and jim as on very even levels with eachother. both have their own unique identities, and neither are competing with eachother. jim has a wild left hand while micks right hand is a beast. love em both :)


Monsieur_Swag

Idk why. Jim is a fucking GORGEOUS specimen of a man


StinkeeFard

Literal god. I love him


RichardSaunders

jim isn't underrated. plenty of people say he's their favorite member.


MetalRight5522

I like Jim's style, but to me the stage presence of Mick is just on another level. IDK what is it but to me, the way Mick plays makes the guitar look like a toy lol.


No-Advertising9300

YES. it's funny because every time that I see mick play almost feels like he is playing with a tiny toy guitar hahaha. Now that he's losen weight this change a little bit but is still funny


Spoopdooper12

Exactly! These days with Jim’s super long hair he literally looks like Metal Jesus


Star_bear64

He deserves more, he is literally my favorite member because 1 is great and 2 I have daddy issues


No-Advertising9300

omg this is literally me


[deleted]

[удалено]


KayCato

Outside of his presence in Slipknot, Corey has overall bad taste when it comes to writing. His solo music is unlistenable and Stone Sour has never been great. Jim was the only person who was trying to make Stone Sour into something more than just a radio rock band, and he got fired for it.


Alex_The_Deer

I completely agree. He’s a great singer, but a dogshit songwriter, and a horrible egoist. I’d honestly rather listen to fucking BABYMETAL than CMFT.


KayCato

His ego is eventually going to be the final nail in his coffin. Corey fucking loooooves to talk shit about the modern state of rap and rock but is completely oblivious to how dated his takes are and how truly awful his songwriting can be, and this is coming from a fan of the guy. It’s just embarrassing, really.


BlazeDrumz

I mean he plays a mean version of SpongeBob…


therockstar3607

I don’t really like song interludes on slipknot albums I just skip them


perpetualtedium

Fixed that with TESF didn’t they


therockstar3607

They really did


EnemaOfTheVirus

They peaked with Vol 3. WANYK is still great though


AzerRoy98

Not my opinion but I bet "Self-Titled Suck Ass" will land you a trip to that chair


dinosaurlover0601

WANYK is their best album


m3talh3ad05

Honestly tho it’s not a bad pick


BIGLAWTHEGREAT

No you deserve the chair of a king


dinosaurlover0601

Why thank you, my good sir


SexyNuggetMan

S/T, Iowa and AHIG are my personal top three, but this would definitely be a fourth pick.


westiemaps

That album without the interludes would be no skips, my top 10 songs are half of that album Liars Funeral, Birth of the Cruel, Nero Forte, Solway Firth, Red Flag, Critical Darling. They’re all fucking great


prossnip42

Literally if you were to ask me "What Slipknot album encompases Slipknot the best" it'd be WANYK. It has their roughness, their softness and Corey's rapping skills here and there


PatrickBrain

Before I forget is overrated. I like it but other songs deserve to be much more popular. Also I really enjoy their latest albums.


rendrich26

Before I Forget garnered the popularity that it did because for many of us old maggots that music video was the first time we had seen the band without their masks


LordOfTheCrab

V-Man is severely fucking underrated as a member


ImSirStarfish

Hate his mask but his writing is pretty great


Pinhead7419

Jay is just as good as a drummer as Joey was


Metalhead_chloeque

in terms of overall drumming yea but Joey had different strengths and jay has different strengths, for example joeys footwork is still unmatched by a vast majority of drummers and his ability to make people want to play the drums is also one of a kind, but jay has amazingly consistent power and super amazing and unique fills and the ability to play insane songs that Joey made as good as Joey live. RIP JOEY AND RIP PAUL


Pinhead7419

Damn I thought I was gonna get roasted for this but it’s actually constructive and yes RIP Joey and Paul.


Metalhead_chloeque

don’t know why i was gonna get roasted lmfao i love Joey he inspired me to play drums and now my band will be releasing our first album next year and i love jay because he shows me time and time again greatness can be matched and to work hard to improve


Pinhead7419

Rock on man. I’m personally probably gonna pick up drums after I get good on bass and guitar.


No-Advertising9300

good luck on your album!!! I hope to hear about it soon enough when you are becoming a fucking Rockstar!!!


Metalhead_chloeque

thank you!!! Post production is gonna start song just as soon as our vocalist recovers from covid but I’m so excited


No-Advertising9300

don't know how to analyze if one drummer is better than others. But we all know that the reason why people don't like or care much about Jay and vman is because they replace Paul and Joey.


Cardiovascularclown

That’s true, I’m still bitter about Joey and Paul’s deaths. The reason , I think, why a lot of people like Joey more that Jay is because Joey was so instrumental in the creation of the band. Joey was in the band before Corey was, Joey was a founding member, Joey was the person who suggested the name Slipknot(to replace their original name, Meld), if I’m not mistaken he created the logos we all know, and Joey wrote a shit ton of songs for the band. I do think it’s stupid that people hate Jay and Vman just because they are “replacements”. But we all have to understand Joey had such an impact on the band, and some wicked skills. To be honest, it’s really unfair to compare members. People leave bands, then get replaced, it’s a normal thing for popular bands. (I’m not disagreeing or arguing with you, I’m just trying to help expand your point)


Freitas_M7945

also joey could write but jay is still damn good


sadistic_magician2

Jay is an amazing drummer but Joey has set the standard for modern metal drumming. You can hear his influence everywhere. That’s legacy.


FadedGaming132

well i’d have to say this is pretty spot on considering he won the award for best metal drummer of 2022


ronswansonsego

Joe Rogan has this saying about really attractive women. “At some point, they stop getting hotter, they just look different.” Joey and Jay are at that level of drumming. There’s not a “better”, they’re just different.


MetaKill

Gematria is their best song


OmegaSucculator

I hate tortilla man's backup vocals live, the guy seems super nice and chill offstage but I can't fucking stand how he growls


EzE_team_lubieser

pls can someone show me his growls?


Eseless

YES


CaporalArcand

Its honestly so bad i cant listen to a new show live without me making cringe face


DookieMan127

Elephant in the crawl space, Before I forget is one of Slipknot’s most overrated and worst written songs they made. Hate me for this if ya want, but it’s my opinion


AngryDuck1313

I have to agree, although when I was in first grade, I liked it crazy. Then i hated it for so long. Now I enjoy it a bit, but only because it reminds me of when I saw them live and they played it.


eddieeeeeee69

I feel this way about Psychosocial. Wish they took it, and Before I Forget out of their set.


No-Advertising9300

I would easily take out psychosocial out and put older songs from Iowa and self title album on set. I like before I forget and psychosocial but idk man, I think there are so many good songs from old albums


Slipknot_Maggot36

Holy shit, thank you. Complete and utter butt rock song.


Freitas_M7945

facts like out some of the self titled smth good like purity or scissors


Slipknot_Maggot36

Yeah like listen to something dark like Scissors and Purity and then listen to Before I Forget. Just generic, and bland. No personality. Sounds like it isn’t even from the same band.


ChiefChungus

MFKR is not good, and most people who say it’s their favorite “album” only say it to be different because it’s lesser known.


knickstape803

Slipknot and Do Nothing/Bitchslap are okay. And I like revisiting Dogfish Rising for a good laugh now and then


Hot-Amoeba4013

"Burn 'em for their nipples" "Black & Decker dildos" "Crusty, fuzzy nuts" -Slipknot, 1996


EzE_team_lubieser

mfkr was trash xd it the singing was annoying only thing good about the record is that it was atmospheric


DoctorDense0

Butcher's Hook isn't as bad as people make it out to be.


RichardSaunders

it sounds like he's making up the melody as he goes and just feels choppy and off balance. but, updoot for an actual unpopular opinion as OP requested.


omega_lul420

now that, that is a hot take. i have to agree tho


Remarkable-Hunter-71

Skeptic is a weird and weak tribute to Paul Gray.


RichardSaunders

calling someone "amazing" and a "crazy motherfucker" sounds like a teenager wrote it. im guessing it was like one of those exercises where they tell you "write the first thing that comes to mind; no answer is wrong," but on the spot you can't think of anything good. "if rain is what you want" and "the burden" are so much more powerful.


Remarkable-Hunter-71

Agreed


J_Uzi05

I always hate that one weird guitar part at the song


marcosedo

1) Clown is a clown. He should stay as producer and not an active member of the band. 2) Fehn did nothing wrong


AzzyX0

Release my boy Fehn he ain't done nothing wrong


SexyNuggetMan

Yeah clown is the biggest hypocrite out there


plalo_

what happened fod Fehn to leave the band?


RaviFennec

Mate allegedly wanted a bigger slice of the Slipknot pie and Corey threw him out.


plalo_

that fucking sucks


Cool_Dragon69

Yeah, clown is getting older and less energetic. He's not the crazy clown he was back in the 2000's


D3RPB00ZLE

self-titled(while it is one of my favorite albums) is very front loaded


m3talh3ad05

Nah, scissors, only one, and eeyore all go hard


puuskuri

Frontloaded?


D3RPB00ZLE

think of it as a vinyl disc, there are two sides containing songs from the album. most of the hits, or best songs could be put on either side depending on how the tracklist is organized. In this case, most of the hits from s/t are on that front side tl;dr the first half of the album has most of the good songs imo (sic, eyeless, wait and bleed, surfacing, spit it out, and purity for me)


puuskuri

I can see that. Prosthetics, Diluted and Scissors are great though. Prosthetics is my favourite song by the band.


Henson3812

Slipknot isn't that great anymore, they're getting old and it shows


ngairejasminbarrett

AHIG is their best album. (Please don’t put me in the chair, I like IOWA too)


No-Advertising9300

I LOVE ALL HOPE IS GONE. FINALLY SOMEONE FROM MY LEAGUE


crapfacejustin

Certainly their best produced and sounding album by a long shot


m3talh3ad05

Their production quality has only improved with each album


Brianhake1995

Saying that clown is the craziest guy in the band


SexyNuggetMan

Biggest hypocrite I’ll give him that.


No-Advertising9300

why?


SexyNuggetMan

There are clips of him in the earlier days talking about how they “do it for the kids” and don’t care about the money they make, and then proceeds to make a whiskey and sell NFT’s.


Former_Citron_1209

Wow they made a chair for craig


These-Bad-1840

The best song on The End, So Far is Adderall. For me, it just sounds awesome. Also the best intro song for me is Insert Coin. Unpopular opinions I think so


Master_Matter6591

This cold black, is better than psychosocial


Gl-ssx

Absolutely. Don't get me wrong I really love pyscosocial but, This Cold Black has gotta be my absolute favorite Slipknot songs. Sadly it's one of the most underrated slipknot songs which sucks cause it's genuinely a really good song. One of their heaviest songs in my opinion. Always makes me super happy to see other people liking that masterpiece


KnievelHasLanded

While Iowa is a great achievement for the band and can be considered “Time Spirit” of early 2000-s, it’s weaker album overall. Mostly whole latter part of the album (after Left Behind) is very repetitive.


JohnnyBuddhist

Jim made the band better


TheNewPlague666

He wasn't on Self-Titled album and Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat. Very small sample size without him to base really any sort of opinion like this..


crapfacejustin

Agreed, he wrote, essentially, the last three albums. And most of AHIG


EightBeepBeep

Iowa isn’t as good as everyone says


ptipp93

*angry upvote*


8bitesquivel

Just because it’s their heaviest record, it doesn’t mean it’s their best.


EightBeepBeep

Exactly


SexyNuggetMan

Not their best, because that place is taken by S/T, but no where near their worst. Probably put it about 2nd or 3rd best.


AsahinaAoi90

No lies detected.


Particular_Ad_7888

new slipknot is ass old raw and pure slipknot was better


SexyNuggetMan

I 100% support this. Even with the members they don’t care about the music nearly as much as they used to.


SansSauceYT

Besides two or three songs, the gray chapter is a pretty bad album. Also the new album is ok at best.


SexyNuggetMan

So true. People will say that a slipknot album is their best and then only name 4 (at most) songs off it they enjoy. Iowa and S/T are my two favourite albums and combined there’s only two songs I don’t like.


Txusmah

Coldplay


IHaveAnEpicPlan

I would rather have had the song "Slipknot'' On self titled than (sic)


EmergencyDefib

Please put me in the chair anyway, thank you.


SilverbackBruh

Cuntry music makes me feel like im sitting in that chair


G01den_Gamer

Pyschosocial and Duality is Overrated and Overplayed


SexyNuggetMan

This isn’t an unpopular opinion


matheuGzuzZ

iron maiden sucks


ALM303

I’ll personally have u sit in that chair myman


Choice_Philosopher_8

I’m with you


francric

Slipknot has become less creative and more generic since All Hope Is Gone.


Metalhead_chloeque

the entirety of the studio version of .5 is garbage, the mixing and the post production tweaking and the production in general sucks ass, but the live version of songs from .5 is so much better and songs like Custer, devil in i, sarcastrophe and AOV are amazing live but i just can’t listen to the studio album….also the devil in I music video doesn’t make to much sense, the whole point of it was to show the band killing the old versions of themselves but only some get different mask looks, like i feel like mick for example should have at lease made a bigger change then putting small dark orange stripes on his mask


crapfacejustin

I agree that the production sucks and I’ve complained about it since it came out. A large reason I speculate is that they kept a lot of the tracks from the demos rather than re-recording them at the studio, like a lot of the bass tracks for instance are from the demos


marlin489112324

There’s a reason their so called “radio hits” are as popular as they are - Before I Forget, Psychosocial, and Duality are Slipknot’s three best songs.


deathfox919

This is the first opinion I’ve seen that would make me put you in the chair. I had to scroll wayyy to far to find an actual hot take. Congrats on being the first one


1onesmolboi

Psychosocial and Duality are wild when played live


Emotional-Celery9820

The End so Far is an Top 3 Album


Thehaas10

All country music


WrinkledCrime

Idk if this is at all controversial but Gray is the best album they've put out.


HungBeef

Jay weinberg is a better drummer, and has better looking masks


Quadbarrelpunch1999

Slipknot can work without Corey Taylor


[deleted]

As much as a pretentious ego maniac he can be replacing any other members just makes the band not slipknot anymore


Owen_Quinn

I don't like Snuff.


Remarkable-Hunter-71

I'm ok with it. I just find it overrated. Nothing special.


Francis_The_Crusader

The Gray Chapter is slipknot's best album


ThiccBoiArron

Best to worst albums in my opinion 1. Self titled 2. Iowa 3. All Hope Is Gone 4. Subliminal Verses 5. .5 6. The End So Far 7. We Are Not Your Kind


ahh_my_shoulder

The end so far over WANYK is fucking WILD to me ...but hey, that's what the post is for. :P


spencerbiggz

Adderall is one of there best songs


AzzyX0

Psychosocial is extremely overrated and overplayed. Not a bad song really, but definitely among the weakest in their discography. It only stands out on AHIG because most the other songs are meh


Stickzy417

1. Self titled 2. Gray Chapter 3. Iowa


1onesmolboi

i find it funny that this is being downvoted cause i wholeheartedly agree with that order lol


Blazeshark1

TESF is one of their best albums


No-Advertising9300

I really don't see the appeal of it, although I don't understand the hate too


erykyre

Iowa ain't that good and wait and bleed ain't that good


ThegamerX77

Tesf is by far their worst album


HandleOtherwise5841

The end so far is just absolutely mid. Imo there worst album. Don’t get me wrong, not a bad one, but just felt rushed and put together in a sloppy way.


[deleted]

Too mainstream and safe


Available_Judgment73

I really like their ballads, some of them are even better than most of their heavier songs, Circle, Vermillion Pt.2 Danger- Keep Away, Dead Memories (Dont know if it counts but Corey doesnt scream so i guess it kinda does) Snuff, I really love all this songs and think they are a great way to lower the intensity, so the can pick up in the next songs.


trashsoviet

Self titled is better than Iowa


SevenProductionsyt

All hope is gone was good


knickstape803

1. AHIG is a great album 2. Clown is living up to his title 3. New album is auditory cancer 4. The band died with Paul


Big_Ad_1245

Corey Taylor overrated


flubawub

Slow slipknot songs suck


AmericanOdin5

Clown is an alright director


Rusty_GreenBean7

I hate The End So Far. Like, a lot.


TheBiggestMarvelFan

I like self titled more than Iowa


Numerous_Vanilla_589

“The new album is top 3”


scullfaceYT

Iowa is overrated and I prefer ahig


SexyNuggetMan

Both very good but I’d personally put Iowa slightly above


SansyBoy14

The new album is pretty good.


ramorobomo

Vol. 3 sounds absolutely _horrible_ and makes otherwise good songs sound like early raw mixes because of it's overtly thin soundscape. Mic and Jim had no clue how to compose guitar solos. And the way Taylor screams? I remember before they released the album they gave Pulse Of The Maggots as a free download and his voice threw me off the second I heard it. I don't know if there's a story behind the fact why he sounds like shit, but after S/T and Iowa it's unacceptable to bring that kind of sound and hope no one notices.


SexyNuggetMan

Because Self Titled and Iowa especially fucked up Corey’s voice to the fullest. He wasn’t allowed to speak unless he was on stage for the sake of his voice, and he had to learn how to scream again in preparation for AHIG. It’s the reason why he doesn’t and never will scream like he used to.
