I`m not a fan of Slipknot but on some level I do respect the drummer Joey Jordison, he is as progressive a drummer as half the prog metal drummers I have heard ! I feel the question needs to be asked is it possible slipknot could also be considered as prog ?  I mean Joey Jordison is known as one of the best drummers these days we should claim him as one of our own !   am I serious or not ? not sure ? sain or not ? not sure ?

They are like Nu/Death-Metal
 They Suck, btw!

No. Their songs are the musical equivalent of getting punched in the face repeatedly. Sometimes, that's actually enjoyable, weirdly, so I listen to them once in a while, but I've never heard anything prog in their music. |

... Slipknot are pretty much the definition of nu-metal. Their music is about as basic and unintelliget as the "metal" genre (which I don't even consider them a part of, but we'll lump them in with it for convenience's sake here) can get. Joey Jordinson is an average drummer who somehow manages to impress people by having a massive kit and being able to aimlessly bash it really quickly. If you want impressive metal drumming listen to Tomas Haake or Sean Reinert. Quite a bit more I could poetentially add, but I think it can be easily summarized by quite simply saying... NO. |

| Once Slipknot gets in maybe we can look into the inclusion of Limp Bizkit? |

| Kevin Federline's new album should be included.... at least as Proto-Prog. |

| Don't forget Milli Vanilli... surely "Girl You Know It's True" had an undeniable impact on the evolution of the Zeuhl genre. |

What's even more important though is the omission of Vanilla Ice... the undisputable (and painfully undercredited) founder of the RIO movement. His later stuff is awful though. |

Yes, but you can't forget Blackjack who under the lead of Michael Bolton and Bruce Kulick courageously experimented with metal and were the true founders of Progressive Metal as we know it today. They also of course paved the way for such masculine Prog-Metal legends as James LaBrie. |
Posted By: Bryan
Date Posted: December 22 2006 at 03:33
| And of course the inclusion of Blackjack will make Michael Bolton's solo career an obvious entry into the prog-related category... his solo career didn't always stay true to the prog spirit, but classics like Time, Love and Tenderness (best known for the 20 minute hammond solo that takes up the entire second side) make him as solid a prog-related candidate as you could think of. |

I was never serious about this poll I just wanted to have some fun playing with some ideas but lets face it there's some pretty dodgy prog metal around these days that's been included here on prog archives, I mean some of its great stuff but some is awful. (also questionable as to if its infact progressive anyway) So I thought why not bounce a few ideas around I think the decision has been made Slipknot won`t be opening for Symphony X any time soon !  ------------- |

I have said it before in this forum when Slipknot is mentioned,and am not afraid to say it again,I love Slipknot.I don't think they are in any way prog,but then again,I don't only listen to prog music,how boring that must be.I grew up loving Kiss,so Slipknot's theatricality really appeals to me,and I love their music,it's pretty brutal.I have seen them live quite a few times and they put on one hell of a live show,you definitely get your moneys worth.
Nu-metal,death metal,prog metal,heavy metal,doom metal,black metal.....WHO CARES WHAT IT'S CALLED??? It's ALL metal!!!!!I don't just like one sub-genre of it...but the whole genre itself. -------------  |

i don´t like slipknot, it´s too violent, i like when the metal bands have some light or symphonic passages in their songs, like dream theater or symphony x...except in their last album. aaaaall de songs of slipknot are very very heavys, and i don´t like it...but the drummer it´s simply genial, one of the best i ever heard...

| Their masks are probably the dumbest things I've ever seen. The drummer is okay for metal, I guess, but he uses way to much double bass with little rhythmic variation. |

Their name was "Slip Not" at first, but then they slipped on the slippery grounds of music, cause they don't do music, and thus changed their name. At least they proved that they are able to learn. Now they should start to learn how to write music. ------------- "We've got to get in to get out" |

What's so bad about Slipknot?  Before I knew what prog is Slipknot was one of my favorite bands. Their debut was great and the song IOWA was pretty creepy. I wouldn't mind listening to that song (or them) again if I had the chance. -------------

No, they are not prog. But more importantly, they are not metal. Just because it's brutal doesn't mean it's metal, you know. ------------- "My stories? No, my little lord, not mine. The stories are, before me and after me, before you too." |

Yeah. One of my friends has that album, but I only listened to some songs from it. It was pretty strange compared to their other albums. I also saw some bits of their DVD too. I remember the drummer doing a solo while the plataform below him moved in circles in a 90 degree angle. It was pretty cool. -------------

Well...that's what it does.
When I first watched the dvd I knew something was going to happen because about 1/3 of the way into the show Jordinson was suddenly sitting on a high backed stool,and was wearing a harness. ------------- |
