I think slipknot was alot better live during the Iowa era, like on disasterpeices DVD, when corey's voice was at its peak. Now he seems to be straining himself.
To Iowa
I'm not sure if you were saying your confused about slipknots song meanings but heres a link on them.
Theres also the real meaning about "purity" its actually about a girl in a box. Theres FBI files to back it up. Slipknot song meanings

Also another great live album is i think it's Judas Preist live in london, it doesn't have Halford but its great.
I've seen KoRn live once and they sound better then any studio album of theres. I'm gonna see them again real soon too.

I sorta like some of the glam stuff it's catchy, like Ratt or Wasp, but poison just ruined the name of "metal"
so did Balads. Why did every band have to have a balad :-(
Nope Twisted Sister does that song. I happen to like it :bleh:
Vh1 classic does have great stuff on there show, metallica, pantera, Judas Priest and so on.

I was thinking of getting one of there albums (not live) , but they have so many, you got any advice? I've only heard one song "frankenstein" and i like it alot.

I just watched The History of Metal on VH1 and they actually portray hair/glam metal as the golden age of metal, they also put Led Zeppelin and AC/DC into metal witch they just aren't they have too much blues/rock n' roll elements...

I missed Sunn O))) a while back.. but if they're ever back in Glasgow I'll make sure I get a ticket. I've heard it's quite an experience.

And I'll definetely check out those bands you mentioned too, thanks ^_^

Menowar is very cool to.. :bleh: :w00t: :brain:

@Tulac- Yeah I saw the same show you did and your right most media put AC/DC, Kiss, Led Zeppllin in metal when really none of them fit, I see AC/DC more as hard rock, cutting it close to metal but not quite and same with the other two, Zepplin did have elements that did integrate into metal later on, but still most music shows like VH1, mtv, do a bad job of identifying metal, they think Guns and Roses are metal too, bleh. Slowly they are coming around though I've noticed with the older groups, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, and so on, sad it's when they have been around so long but better than never I suppose.

Shunk Eat Enemy- That song was off their album Horror Show, honestly it's not my favourite but it has a few good songs here and there. My recommendation, pick up Something Wicked This Way Comes, great all around album, and if you like that go with Dante's Inferno and The Dark Saga, and then Horror Show. But recommended Something Wicked first and go from there, once you grow accustomed to the songs, you can pick up Night Of the StormRider and then Iced Earth, but those two albums have different singers, both of them, so be warned.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Shunk Eat Enemy @ Aug 19 2006, 11:03 PM) [snapback]249707[/snapback]</div>No, I meant that it's just hard to actually understand what Corey is saying I mean, "You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes!"? You've got to be lieing if you understood that the first time you heard "Eyeless". But when you can understand what he's saying, alot of the time the lyrics are awesome (like the chorus of "Surfacing" :D).

That certainly was an interesting link...but how is that connected with the FBI?

*giggle*

I dunno if you'll be able to see this on dial up, but it's a funny interpratation of the words of Eyeless.

Stupid dial-up...I'LL KILL YOU IF ITS THE LAST THING I DO! When i've taken over the world, every single person that wants it will have a 1MBPS connection!

I'd love to watch it, but no, I have to have [b]dial-up![b].

Okay, ranting over...continue with normal conversation...

Back on topic: isn't it horrible how during "Iowa" concerts Corey vomits in his mask, and because he can't take it off, has to do the entire thing with puke right in front of his face? I couldn't imagine having to do that! :vomit: :hairpull: :not_ok: :omg2: :vomit:

Bit of hardcore emoticon usage going down here at the "Metal" thread.:D

First of all, metal is mediocre. By this I don't mean that there aren't any great metal bands, only that the majority of metal bands doesn't interest me at all. There are many other genres with better quality on average. My favourite metal band is probably Tiamat, though I also like early Iron Maiden and Metallica.

While I understand how you could feel this way, I highly disagree. You must be one of those people that just can't stand the noise (I know, I used to be that way...then Slayer came along in my life and...), and the majority of metal bands probably don't interest you because...let's face it, there are alot of metal bands that suck.

And what do you mean by "better quality"?
