Response to Austin:I totally agree that Slipknot has the metal world by storm. They have a lot of musical talent and they also have the edge and grit that people love. When I first listened to them, they sounded very unique, which you had mentioned, and also very talented. With the nine member band, it creates more musical background to form a very distinct sound that is not like any other band out there. Although, new metal these days is more hardcore, in my opinion. Bands have taken over the fast paced and younger generation by storm. Slipknot has not yet faded away, but with no new albums up to date, people are starting to lose interest. The theatrical theme of slipknot is very cool. The outfits that they wear make them so distinguished that it is hard to not be able to pick them out of a crowd. With playing in big fests and music tours this band has really made a name for themselves. Overall, I like this band and the grit that they carry with them. I know people will still listen to them and keep them under their radar!
