they're the heaviest mainstream metal band in recent memory.

As opposed to....what? Name one band from 1999 or whatever that you think should be bigger than them now.

Maybe Linkin Park, but since Chesters death they kinda fell off the radar

Linkin Park were bigger than Slipknot because they crossed over to pop audiences. But in any case, LP came out in 2000 and Slipknot came out in like 1998, only a couple years but that meant all the difference at the time, different crowd. Slipknot among their demographic was seen as legit, Linkin Park were seen as a kiddy band.

Linkin Park are still massive and well known, but they can't really play live or release new albums with their main ingrediend being literally dead.
Linkin Park were bigger than Slipknot

SOAD

SOAD stopped making albums and their live shows suck dick. So, no.

SOAD would be as big probably if they actually were an active band....and SOAD is cringe just in a different way. Slipknot is edgy cringe but SOAD is LOLRANDUM edgy cringe.

>but SOAD is LOLRANDUM edgy cringe.
They weren't always like this, their first two albums weren't really like that.

Fuck this shit band so much
>dude they good now

Fuck you manchildren forcing this

I'm a big SOAD fan, but
>Sugar
>DDEVIL
>Peephole
>Needles
>Bounce
>Shimmy
They were lolsorandom as fuck.

>SOAD is LOLRANDUM edgy cringe
Their lyrics have depth beyond the randomness

You forgot Chic n Stu, Fuck the System, Cigaro and Vicinity of Obscenity

>SUGAAAAAAAAAAAH I JUST KICK HER OH BABY
>EATING SEEDS!
Slipknot might be le scary mask band, but SOAD was le funny making funny faces band. Sure, they always interject some sort of vague and predictable social or political message, but it's still a lot of goofy zany shit most of their fans only like because they also love Invader Zim epic spork LOL MEAT humor

Their "depth" was literally NOFX-tier "fuck Bush" stuff.

I was talking specifically about the first two albums, because the other guy said they were different.

You had basically 2 kinds of nu metal bands, wannabe tough guy core like Slipknot, Disturbed and Limp Bizkit and whiny Emo core such as Linkin Park, Korn and Deftones, SOAD were like no one else at the time

All of those are some kind of commentaries, expect for Bounce, that is the only straight-up "joke" song.
None of the debut albums really qualifies, they used humour, yes, but that humour was used to add in this schizophrenic, insane, uncomfortable, manic feeling, rather than being for the sake of humour like the later albums would use humour.

thanks for the armchair analysis champ

Needles is obviously about addiction.

Why is it suddenly acceptable to like nu-metal now? I remember everyone here shitting on it years ago

i don't know and it upsets me
all nu-metal is unlistenable garbage except for arguably system of a down, which is just okay but not anything amazing

Also war is bad and don't forget Armenian genocide

How are Highway Song, Soldier Side, Dreaming and Hypnotize "lolsorandom" in any way or shape, just to name a few?

That's how it goes with every generation
>new genre/movement appears
>boomers older generation hates it
>years later people realize the said moment had some good stuff in it while admitting it had its flaws as well.

Well I could go on about why you're wrong in any number of ways....but I'll just stick to one. SOAD, thematically, was just a bootleg RATM but with zany shit added.

Queens of the Stone Age

Nu metal is pleb filter

Except SOAD didn't have any rapping and their guitar work is more basic and less riff based

I didn't mean to imply that every song off the next songs is lolrandumb, but a lot of the songs have fallen into that, where the band became a parody of itself, they still have some great stuff though.

>Why is it suddenly acceptable to like nu-metal now?
Why do you think anyone needs your approval? Your taste fucking sucks and you never spent a moment in a record store. Why should anyone listen to you?

t.ourist

SOAD had plenty of rapping, or half rapping if you want to call it that. When you are not singing or screaming but just rhyming words in a syncopated pattern, it's rapping.

>t.ourist
Only...Yea Forumscore defenders are the biggest tourists
The only metal albums you know are Burzum and select memeworthy garbage. Do you own Grim Reaper on vinyl? I do. You jerk off meme bands and never dig into any genre.

Also most of their most popular songs are more serious ones like Chop Suey, Toxicity, Aerials, BYOB, Question and Lonely Day (even though that one sucks)

Funilly enough, while Question is a serious song, it is a word salad in terms of lyrics.

>Fuck you manchildren forcing this
Seething

>WHYD YOU LEAVE YOUR KEYS ON A TABLE
>EAAAATING SEEEEDS
>FALALALALALAA, OOOOOOOOWWWWW BLAST OFF IT'S PARTY TIME!

If you don't like Iowa then you're a cum guzzling faggot.

BYOB is a pretty clear anti-war song

>WHYD YOU LEAVE YOUR KEYS ON A TABLE
It's from a perspective of a suicidal person who is paranoidly questioning every move they do.
>FALALALALALAA, OOOOOOOOWWWWW BLAST OFF IT'S PARTY TIME!
It's sarcastic, comparing people's approval to join wars like a fun party everyone should join

Obviously....that doesn't make it exempt from the SOAD "me so zany" shit.

It does, it has a message, just because one part of the song is little silly doesn't mean it has nothing to say.
It isn't some shit like Vicinity Of Obscenity, that is what people mean when they say SOAD would become "lulsorandumb"

>Slipknot thread turns into SOAD thread

Mr. Jack is SOAD'S best fucking song, prove me wrong mother fuckers

>emo

Even cigaro has a clear message beyond the stupid lyrics

It's definitely the best one from the album but I prefer ATWA or PLUCK

No one claimed that the music didn't have a message. We claimed that it was "lolsorandom", which is internet speak for cringily wacky. Which it is.

Don't tell me what I mean when I say something you pissant. You weren't even buying music when SOAD was in their prime.

SOAD was always seen as "that band". I was into them before the double album even came out.

>Outro to a song vs entire song being lolsorandumb
Yes, I was you dumb shit, I bought debut and saw the release of the double album, you're not fucking special. Fuck you, suck my entire cock, mother fucker.

There is literally nothing wrong with lolsorundom humor

What are you my girlfriend or something?

did everyone miss this?

Villains sucked

Queens Of The Stone Age are famous.

No, we were just talking about other things and couldn't be fucked to reply to your post.

Exactly something a SOAD fan would say. Need to insert something retarded.

I remember back in my some some classmates had Slipknot t-shirts. It was ridiculous to see 12-year-olds acting like tough guys.

>>plenty of rapping
they did a cover of shame on a nigga. that's about all the rap they did.

but not as famous as slipknot
queens of the stone age should be the biggest rock band right now because they're one of the only good ones nowadays

Nine Inch Nails

This
There is nothing wrong with liking sporkcore like Mr Bungle, Devin Townsend, Diablo Swing Orchestra and Cardias

wtf i love sporkcore now

SOAD rapped. So did Slipknot. You don't have to make hip hop music to utilize the rap vocal style, you 19 year old.

Faith No More.

>Their first fans are now middle-aged people
Aren't middle-aged people allowed to like music?

>>good one nowadays
they were good 10 years ago.

>implying music needs to have a super serious message in it

>WHAT DO I FEEL
>WHAT DO I SAY
>IN THE END IT ALL GOES AWAY

Both huge bands within their demographics...and neither are late 90s bands

He is literally just screaming those lines.
I-E-A-I-A-I-O is a better argument for rapped vocals.

>6 years ago
ftfy

I was just about to post that one lol

Boomerbad, zoomer good

Does Violent Pornography also count as rapping?

Yeah that one is really hard to dispute.
Yeah but the guy also said.
>Name one band from 1999 or whatever
>or whatever
And, NIN are still really active, I feel like they'd deserve more attention especially with the latest album being great.

Based IOWA poster

NIN and Slipknot are from two different worlds, I'm sure there is some crossover in their fanbases, but not enough for them to be direct competition.

>SOAD rapped. So did Slipknot.
The closest Slipknot ever came to rapping is a few lines on "Spit It Out".

This. Iowa by Slipknot is pretty neat. I'm not even gay and I would suck Corey Taylor to completion without hesitating

>spit it out is the only Slipknot song I heard and I don't even know the song well

The whole song is rap outside of the chorus, it's a rap metal song full fledged. Also the album is full of rapping, Liberate, No Life, etc etc. You just don't listen to much music but choose to talk about it anyway, don't get why so many people on this board are like this. Niggers only skim through music once or twice and then act like experts.

>lib right
>hate whiny "ACAB" antifags
>still like this song

simple as. better yet, they've returned to their relatively extreme sound.

Jesus, chill the fuck out.

villains was okay, but definitely one of their weakest
i'm hopeful their next album will be better

kill yourself

THIS MUSIC CAME OUT BEFORE EMO WAS A FUCKING THING

EMO BECAME BIG IN 2006

THIS BAND TURNED INTO DARK NSYNC IN 2004

All generation

Cringe

Ah yes the I'm going to say words delegated from the internet to show I'm cool instead of having a individualistic opinion.
I also want to call you a grandma because gay is way better than cringe.

Cringe sounds like something a 85 year old would say.

When you say that's gay it means that's stupid and dumb which you are trying to say but don't have the big nads to say them.

>leddit spacing

Reddit has probably the same thread with same replies.

As a human I can type anyway that I want with as many errors as I want.

I don't care and you shouldn't either because this distracts you from what I said in the post I made above.

So stick to the topic or have fun moving around things at a retail store for fun instead of living

basically all of these either suck or their frontman is dead

TOOL

I just argue any 90s bands could take this title. I dont think any of them suck especially bridget of california sys.4channel.org/derefer?url=https://youtu.be/WD_DF5dMiKk

My first interaction with music was 3 obese woman bouncing me off their stomaches to b52s loveshack.

You think the 80s were for me.

No hell no gen x was for me.
I will prefer anything from that decade besides pop even the cheesy ass dance songs from the 90s over your modern ass bullshit.

I hate drake think hes retarded but the only people who didn't like the insane clowns were eminem likers.

Your going to rape people I dont like?
How does this affect me.
Nothing.

I think it's better when you take off extremely baggy clothing off of a woman to expose her true form.
It is incredibly sexy and you will never have it.
