Slipknot

First of all, Slipknot are NOT Death Metal. They're slightly more talented nu-metal, which is like saying that suffering from autism is better than suffering from Down syndrome.

Please note: System Of A Down are Alternative Metal

To be more honest, Slipknot were much better (or at least more interesting) in their beggining days, in the Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat. era. That is, before they decided to hire Corey Taylor.

Slipknot, like Pink Floyd, have an amazing ability at making covers which have nothing to do with the albums. Unlike Pink Floyd, though, they don't couple that ability with talent for making good songs. Pity.

Now, for the covers.

You know that Slipknot come from Iowa, right? Iowa, known for corn fields, beautiful skies, nice people, right?

Above: Nice People

Wrong! According to Slipknot, it's known for dead goats.


Similarly, the title Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat. can perfectly represent absolute control over a person, right?

Wrong again! According to Slipknot, Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat. is best represesnted by Joey Jordison in a room with cogwheels.

Apart from that, they also seem to have run out of ideas by their third official album, and just started recycling their older covers.




Proving that, to be popular, you only need 5 ideas.
