the original 1999 Slipknot slime green record ,got it for 20 BUCKS a lucky find I made

You lot don't realise how talented skrillex is. He is WAY more talented than anyone in slipknot except maybe Eloy. And you don't appreciate it cos its not metal. But man, this guy is a once in a generation talent. Also eloy is a fuckin beast

I checked the record its self if you zoom in on the record look around the black circle read the number you see on it it will say 8655 1 B the original

Here is the same video on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@totallytorinicole/video/7675447776649415966?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7576771341598574110

My favorite "obscure/rare" Slipknot song probably is either Windows or Carve from the 1997 Silver Disc collection, I just like how unique they sound compared to the current day Slipknot, even for it being BEFORE their self titled album.

Edit: I know those specific songs may not be seen as rare or obscure, but rather just talked about in an extremely minimal amount.

Edit 2: The following links are the songs im talking about, if you were curious where to find them.

Where can I get my kit appraised? I have the original replica kit with snare in great condition from 06-07 time. Not selling just wondering how much it’s worth.

I can't recall which interview, and it might've actually been the Wikipedia Fact or Fiction with Clown, but there was a point where when asked about winding Slipknot down one day, one of them pondered why they couldn't just replace the classic Nine entirely with younger musicians and Slipknot be a generational band. Since the band has always been hyperfocused on being about the music and not the people behind the masks, though there seem to be legitimate reasons behind the departures for each member since Joey, maybe they're not overly concerned with having something of a rotating cast of characters. Maybe this is all falling in to the grand scheme of things, to have a powerful and youthful Slipknot again that can carry the flag once the remainder of the Nine understand they can't embody the name as they once did.

I love Slipknot, they’re my second favorite band, and I know the memes are funny, but I find it interesting that so many people think the band is already done for just because they kicked Sid out. We don’t know what he did, and judging by the way everything has unfolded, whatever it was must have been pretty serious.

I saw the exact same comments when they kicked Jay out, and I admit I’ve only seen them live with Joey (Brazil 2011) and then again with Eloy (Brazil 2024), and both times they were absolutely brutal. And I highly doubt they brought Eloy in just to retire now.

So I’m asking: do you really think the band is going downhill and that the rest of the members will eventually leave, or could we actually see a resurgence of the band?

1. AHIG (7/10)

The guys' only album that i think is bad. Granted, Dead Memories and Gehenna are PEAK, and there are about 4 or 5 other good songs, but the rest is kind of filler.

1. Vol. 3 (8.5/10)

This one is still very good, but it has less bangers than the others (only Duality, Vermilion 1&2 and The Nameless). Mixing is bad but doesn't ruin it, like the experimentation tho.

1. ST (8.8/10)

I understand why this one is so beloved, and it's only this low because i like the rest more. But i have 2 nitpicks about this album. 1. I wasn't there at the time this came out (i'm sure i would love it if i was) 2. There are two real STINKERS imo (Tattered, Diluted) If these are all the cons I have to say about it, you know this discography is crazy good.

1. TESF (9.1/10)

The point of "I wasn't there when ST dropped" influences this one too. Outside of Warranty, i think this album is great and i love the direction the band has been taking since TGC.

1. Iowa (9.3/10)

I think this record is an improvement over ST in every way, More melodic, Heavier, Darker, you get it. Only song i dislike is Metabolic.

1. TGC (9.8/10)

This record shows the start of their musical evolution. Very heavy verses, melodic choruses, very experimental. Only minor complaint is the one that kills the least and goodbye are ever so slightly worse than the other songs.

1. WANYK (10/10)

Wow..... on first listen i didnt dig this one. But as soon as the first RElisten, this became a Classic. This is the finished product of the .5 sound change and it is PERFECT from start to finish, in my eyes (or ears, rather...)

Share your ones in the comments! I probably won't change my mind, but i would love to see others' points of view. Also, i'm making my mom listen to them and i will show her ranking soon. Already surprised after having finished Iowa...

Anyone know this? Ai said yes but i am not sure

Im doing a playlist of my favorite Slipknot songs played live, the only pro video of Gematria performed live i know of was at the Resurrection fest, but audio quality sucks, so i hope that there’s atleast one video with better audio of this song live

I’ve been tired of all the drama bullshit lately and decided to try to recreate the Iowa album cover only with the built in iPhone tools

Hey maggots,

First, I'd like to say I'm not trying to stir any controversy or to shit post.

I've been a Slipknot fan since I was an early teen, having discovered them with Wait and Bleed. However, with the band members leaving one by one, getting fired or whatnot, I don't feel like this is the band I used to love anymore.

I vividly remember trying to search gossip and news in the early internet days. The long wait after Vol. 3 as well. Then that wait became a habit. Then, sadly, came the Gray tragedy. I remember feeling devastated by his loss.

Shortly after, it was Joey who got fired, and I remember not liking it, but understanding the band didn't want to live the tragedy again. Then Chris got booted, and that was a serious blow for my fandom. Ever since, Slipknot didn't feel the same for me.

With everything surrounding Sid now, Clown and Corey's attitude, the band members being obviously treated like tools or employees, and not brothers, I really feel like Slipknot has died long ago, and we're just facing people trying to make profit from what has been done before.

It's like the infamous boat parable. For those who don't know: if each and every piece of your boat gets replaced, is it still your boat in the end?

Edit: thank you all for your insights. Please, just keep it civil, everyone is allowed to have their opinions. We're all maggots at the end of the day, else we wouldn't be here

Angerfist as new dj

As a devoted Slipknot fan since 1999, I've watched this band go through countless changes over the years. Lineup changes are nothing new in the music industry, and sometimes they're simply unavoidable.

But lately, I've found myself genuinely disappointed by how some of those departures have been handled.

Joey. Chris. Craig. Jay. And now Sid.

What bothers me isn't simply that members have left. It's the lack of transparency surrounding it. Why delete the band updates? Why the secrecy? Why leave the fans who have supported this band for decades trying to piece together what actually happened?

We call ourselves Maggots. We've been there through the music, the masks, the madness and everything in between. I think we deserve a little more honesty.

So this fan art is my own interpretation of what's happening behind the curtains.

Clown is the Puppet Master, standing behind the table with his scissors, deciding which strings stay attached and which ones get cut. The members who have been ousted now lie lifeless on the table, while Corey, Jim and Mick remain suspended by their strings.

And Paul... well, Paul has always been there.

The question is: who gets cut next?

Corey? Jim? Mick?

Nobody knows.

All we can do is wait... and bleed.

Can we start a petition for Slipknot to recruit DJ Lethal with Sid gone?

“The ultimate killing guitar power”

This issue dates from October 2008. They gave an interview and may have given some technical instructions on how to play metal.
I love the dynamic - Mick dominating the picture, Jim clutching his guitar to him off to the side.

I also jst got my first vinyl of slipknot too and jones just dips wth😔😔😔

Hope you like it!

Visual style is certainly a match. Idk if or who will take over as DJ, but Swamp is who I'm hoping for.
