Do you think Slipknot is selling out?

there music has changed from their first CD compleatly not so hardcore it seems the band had begun to care more about physical apperance and “cool concerts” there music isnt them personaly I doubt that they even write it anymore their sell outs only way to put it ,

They haven’t just changed their music “alittle” it went from slipknot to stone sour #2.But I can’t blame them, corey’s voice is jacked up from all the screaming and drinking for all these years. Although I don’t like that they’re making radio friendly songs with their album going #1. I think they have sold out, but their old stuff are good enough to keep me happy

Slipknot,Corey in particular has shown a disgust for bands that have people write their material for them.I do not think Slipknot will EVER have anyone writing their music for them so long as one of them has the hands to write.All their lyrics and riffs,et.c are thiers.

I had this discussion earlier with my boyfriend,a metalhead himself and we both seem to think that the reason their going the way they are is because they are maturing musically.They are realzing that while jumping on Joey’s set and headbanging or screaming till your lungs collapse is great,there’s always room for improvment.

I also feel that their acoustic sets showed a softer side of them.You can still be metal and be acoustic,it’s all in the lyrics and the ‘eerieness’ of the acoustics.

Okay,I’m writing a sequel to the book I posted today so im gonna shut up now. xD

Man I thought I was a die hard Slipknot fan,I don’t think there selling out,they’re doing there best,what they love,you notice they haven’t broken up since kicking those other dudes out and since then there music is still the fu*king best,so NO Slipknot is still Slipknot and will still to me be the Lord of Metal.

I don’t think they’re selling out but they are getting older and I think teyre style is changing

No. Selling out, to me, is making music for the only purpose of making money. If they LIKE what they’re writing, and are writing it because they LIKE that music, not because they want millions of dollers, then they haven’t sold out. Now, if they write something they really like, and it just happens to be obscenely popular among certain groups, well, then, that’s just peachy. shrugs Sure, they have toned down a lot since when they were younger, but that’s to be expected; few people can hold on to the aggression from their early 20s, and that aggression is channeled into their music, and that’s what made it sound the way they sounded. They’re a lot mellower now.

Well, not on stage. X3

I think they are selling out on accident. What I mean is, one famous loser decided to like them, and American fangirls and boys decided that they had to be JUST like them and started listening to them. If that makes sense. P.s. 1999 slipknot owns

Slipknot will ALWAYS be great. Just because they’ve changed their sound a little doesn’t make them sell outs. A LOT of bands change and are still awesome. Sometimes change is what’s best. They’re the ones writing and making the music so it’s all up to them. As long as they’re proud of their work and think it’s great, that’s all that matters.
