Is this a band that beatdragon would like ?

Members of the heavy metal band Slipknot don interesting attire for the 48th Annual Grammy Awards.

Slipknot is an incredible band. Many look down on them because of their costumes and masks, but talent-wise there aren't many metal or hardcore bands out there that can compare.

I needed surgery after my first Slipknot concert. It was well worth it.

Surgery?

Did you have something inserted or removed?

(c;

Franklin's Tower?

I've never heard their music, but, if SteveR say's their good, I'll take his word for it.

Hey, I used to be a huge Kiss fan in High School when people made fun of their make up . . .

I had an earing torn out and my ear wouldn't have healed right without cosmetic surgery. It went through the cartilidge.

Slipknot is the heat. Their music makes me wanna break stuff!

jetblasted - Hardcore metal is an acquired taste. If you do give Slipknot a listen, I suggest listening to their debut album (self titled, 'Slipknot') first. It's by far their best, and hardest.

Slipknot is one of those rare bands that fits into a specific music genre, but doesn't sound like every other band in that genre. They've got a unique sound... I love this band. I think my favs are "Wait and Bleed" and "Spit it Out".

If you’re looking for some good, hard metal, this is your band.

I'm 46 years old and I listen to Slipknot. I always seek the top shelf of the new stuff, and they're the top shelf of metal.

Doofy costumes aside. I don't see the costumes on my CD player anyway.

Did you never gave a damn in the first place?

Maybe it's time you had the tables turned

'Cause in the interest of all involved I got the problem solved

And the verdict is guilty...

...Man nearly killed me

Steppin' where you fear to tread

Stop, drop and roll

You were dead from the git-go!

Big mouth f*cker, stupid c*cksucker

Are you scared of me now? Then you're dumber than I thought

Always is, and never was

Foundation made of piss and vinegar

Step to me, I'll smear ya

Think I fear ya? Bullsh*t!

Just another dumb punk chompin' at this tit

Is there any way to break through the noise?

Was it something that I said that got you bent?

It's gotta be that way if you want it

Sanity, literal profanity hit me!

Spit it out

All you wanna do is drag me down

All I wanna do is stamp you out

Spit it out

All you wanna do is drag me down

All I wanna do is stamp you out

Normally, they perform in convict style jumpsuits with masks on. I've never seen them perform in these Village People-esque costumes.

If you like Slipknot, you might also like Mudvayne. L.D. 50 is a great album.

Mudvane... Static-X... Stonesour... all great choices for this kind of music. 🙂

Steve, just out of curiosity, how was your earring ripped out?

It must have been a loop vs. stud.

Sounds painful.

Bloody - I had a hoop at the top of my left ear, through the cartilidge. A girl jumped on my back. She must have come off a balcony because she came down on me pretty hard. Not knowing it was a girl, I tossed her over my head and onto the pit floor in front of me. Her clothing caught onto the hearing and tugged. But, the concert went on and so did I...after helping her up of course.

Hehhh... I always knew SteveR was hard core!

Speaking of hardcore, I am introducing Melissa to the brutality of metal next week. Trivium and In Flames are playing in Philly. If I had to pick a favorite band, it's currently Trivium. They're the new-age Metallica.

And of course, I purchased floor tickets.

Steve,

Just make sure to take out any piercings before going to the Trivium concert:-)

And don't tell us you don't have any. We all know that the second you leave the CI/Cbid offices, you put the tongue, eyebrow, nose-bridge, lip, and 10 earings back on.

I won't even mention the ones you probably have on the rest of your body. At least those should be safe from being ripped out at the concert.

Slipnot and Timothy Leery go hand in hand.....

They are waaaaaaayyyyyy good as a band.
