I’m from Iowa and almost everyone here knows a guy who knows a guy with a crazy slipknot story

[lordhumungus]

for me back when I was 15-16 years old slipknot was a gate to death and black metal..I will always love their first two albums, slipknot and iowa..the thing I liked the most about slipknot was the fact that they were never just another classic nu-metal band of that time, they had almost all sorts of metal subgenres in their music.

Hey kids, if you're in a band and getting attention from record companies, don't accept a seven album deal.

Seeing slipknot in '99 was the biggest mindfuck my teenage brain could barely process

[kkarhiiv]

My only friends in high school were slipknot fans, i didnt even like slipknot, but after a while i started liking it.

I love how Joey was the only member in the very first album cover (the demo) before even the first real cover and after he left, they stopped putting band pictures on the covers, thus he's been in more Slipknot album covers than anyone else in the band. He is the iconic one here, and his departure, arguably more than Gray's was the beginning of the end for the band's quality.

in my local hardcore scene growing up, mfers would hate on slipknot, call their fans cringe white trash metalhead posers, etc. the normal hardcore/metal “rivalry” or what the fuck ever you wanna call it. so obviously i never listened to them growing up either imagine my surprise when the same foos who dogged on slipknot back then started saying today that they always listened to them and liked them before they had their recent resurgence in popularity 😭

[SolarDNA]

I discovered them in '99 right before the self titled album released. I saw the poster/ad in some magazine which was just the album cover, but what actually got me interested was it said "produced by Ross Robinson" so soon as it dropped I bought it. Me and my friends listened and were floored and they've remained pretty much all our favorite band to this day.

[lilgamer]

Can’t believe you didn’t mention how Mr. Bungle is a big influence on the band.

Been listening to and a fan of Slipknot since 2000. Was 15 at the time. First song I heard was Wait and bleed and that song right there made me a fan. Slipknot was a life changer for me and connected with so many other Slipknot I fans. R.I.P. Paul and Joey forever will be remembered!

"Im pretty sure Paul McCartney called us shitknot"

[brizzby]

well that "kicking members out for seemingly no reason" didnt age well

[Sevengelion]

I've been listening to these guys for like 12 years, and while I definitely outgrew them, they still hold a very special place in my heart due to how much time I've invested in their music. I still pop Iowa from time to time; honestly it's still one of the heaviest shit ever.

It is such a shame that the band has become such a husk of its former self since Paul died. First kicking Joey out and then Chris. Everything just went downhill for me there. And now Craig is gone too.
While I do enjoy their later albums, the latest one is just such a letdown for me. There are great moments, but other times it's just good ideas done badly.

[MaffiLu]

slipknot and iowa are the only albums i can really listen to without getting bored - everything after was just lackluster.
not holding it against them, they changed, i changed. the old stuff is still fun but i carried on and found new things.

[spencerricketts]

I personally love all the band's music past AHIG, including TESF. I understand why some people don't like it, but it just clicks with me really well

[Angel_Scum]

Love your fit for this video ♡ Im not absolutely crazy for Slipknot, but they definitely hold a special place in my heart with some of their songs hitting a bit too close to home- I hope y'all are doing alright! ♡♡♡

while i've been a Slipknot fan from just 4 years, i love with my heart their s/t and it's on my top 3 best albums i've ever here, the raw sound with audible samples in the right time, the hate in corey's voice and the experimental mix of genres are so unique in that album

[AvelGonzalez-qp]

I love how unique this video is. You should start doing more videos about these specific bands.

Speaking of kicking out members randomly without any explanation, Jay Weinberg just got fired
