Hahaa man I love Slipknot - defenitley one of my favorite bands. I'm with syk0tic, Static-X and Slipknot are two of my favorites. I saw Static a couple of years ago in Frisco with Soulfly and SOIL; Static is one of the best live bands to see. Slipknot is on some other shit though. Iowa is fucking tight, I haven't heard the entire first album, but I know a few songs that are sick. To you guys that said they suck live.. I have yet to see them in concert, but I heard they are one of the best bands to see.. maybe I heard wrong. If you like Corey Taylor's (singer of Slipknot) music, check out Stone Sour his other band. He comes hard on some of the songs, but its a lot more mellow then slipknot. I don't know if it's true or not, but I read on some website, he said he was going to make one more album (the next one) with slipknot then focus on Stone Sour, it was a while ago though. If you like hard shit, check out In Flames.
