"their albums and home videos have achieved - sales status" kabbelen 20:08, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
The band is currently on hiatus until 2007
Corey has said he will stay with stone sour til 08 and will let other band members finish there side projects he also stated that he never intended to do much with the band(slipknot) until very late 07 or early 08. source-- 76.18.0.54 17:32, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Over the last few days I've rewritten the article for a second time. I've pretty much finished citing the history, broken it up into sections, cleaned the image section, provided a handful of citations to the same section, removed any statements with cite needed tags for which I could not find a source, and provided a fair use rationale for the image used in the infobox. Any additional help and/or comments would be appreciated. -- Wildnox (talk) 00:46, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Main concern is the prose and references.
I suggest another peer review. M3tal H3ad 07:54, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Is there a reason its numbered 0-8? That seems just a tad bit odd, but I won't change since I'm not too familiar with this area of style. XXDucky21Xx 23:31, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
I propose to add "Metalcore" to Gerne list.
Slipknot IS a typical Nu Metal band, so please don't rewrite it to rap metal. Thanks
-please don't put it as heavy metal either-
Who the hell put horror punk as one of the genres? They sure don't sound like it and even their image isn't really horror punk. That's like putting GWAR or Kiss as horror punk just because of their image and we all know that isn't true. I'm going to remove it. -- Ilikepie714 21:09, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Slipknot is Nu Metal(mainstream rock) -jarek
Slipknot is banned from the Metal Archives too.
Slipknot has quite a few songs which are rap metal such as spit it out, so dont do denying that they arnt rap metal.
I'm changing the genres section, this is getting petty, it would make most sence to change them to Heavy Metal (overall), Funk Metal (M.K.F.R.) And Nu-Metal (Slipknot and Iowa). Anything more than that is splitting hairs and well, biased. 87.102.12.10 19:18, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Picg.
No, he's right they are nu-metal and I'm going to change it.-- 74.97.35.21 19:51, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Some of the songs off of Vol. 3 sound like they have thrash metal influences (such as on "The Blister Exists"). The band themselves cited Slayer as an influence on the album. However, I'm not going to put it in the genre list because it was just for that 1 album. By the way, "they are banned from the heavy metal page." WTF???? Last time I checked, they weren't a pop band. URFG 23:48, 11 May 2007 (UTC)URFG== Mushroomhead feud? ==
I read over on the Mushroomhead article that there was a lot of argument between the two bands as to Slipknot 'stealing' Mushroomhead's image, having been signed to Roadrunner Records a year after Mushroomhead nearly did so. Surely this should be mentioned? Especially as Mushroomhead's article seems to be slightly biased toward them in the debate; it would at least give Slipknot a chance to defend themselves. 139.184.30.17 18:56, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Mushroomhead has been active since 1995.It is true that Slipknot did steal their gimmick and the mushroomhead article is full of facts. If u try to defend slipknot here ur basically just making the article like a stupid forum post. Only thing should be mentioned is that they have heat with Mushroomhead.
Um, no, they were both pretty local bands when the mask gimmicks were introduced, and in different areas, neither could have stolen the gimmick from the other.
lol I think it's funny, the whole slpiknot / mushroomhead mask ordeal, neither band ripped the other off, they both came out at around the same time, and in totaly different locations, granted Mushroomhead was around first, the difference is marginal. both bands took the mask influence from metal/Avant-Garde groups such as Mr. Bungle and The Residents, in Slipknots case the primary influence in stage appearence was Mr. Bungle, and Mushroomhead the same in their earlier years. but masks have been used in progressive metal many times before the 1990's, it can be traced right back to the 70's with The Residents, and its foolish to think either bands use of them are original in any way. (note, i am a fan of both bands, more so of Mushroomhead but still, im not bashing them, just shedding a little light)
let's see, NOT EMOCORE. WHOEVER CITED IT USED A BAD LINK, AND A SITE THAT DOESN'T EVEN LABEL THEM AS EMO.
Would an article recording the songs which have been played live be worth compiling? Obviously it would list where and when the songs were played Talk User:Fissionfox 10:28, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Can someone confirm whether this is a real album? And if so, why it doesn't link from this (the purported band's) article? Just wondering whether to put an album infobox on it or whatever. Bubba hotep 13:16, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
If it's not confirmed, then I wouldn't believe it.
I think the current live angled pic should be replaced by one which shows the entire band, dont you think?
I have a really good pic but I don't know how to upload it. The one that is up sucks. -- 74.97.35.21 19:47, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
I agree whichever fool put that terrible picture should go to hell. Y couldn't we just keep the last one and bin the Beunos Aires one.
I'm going to put in a group photo of them. 0matter 20:28, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
...And a new drummer did just join. Change it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mayorearth ( talk • contribs) 07:14, 31 March 2007 (UTC).
were did you hear that? GuyDoe 23:32, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
yeah...? Joey's still the drummer to this day... Franz T. Speeling 17:42, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
I Love Joey..^__^ - User:XxInuyasha6
Joey will begin drumming for Korn this summer.
Perhaps the article should mention something about the 1980s hardcore punk band Slipknot?
Could someone please fix the second sentence in the article? We all have opinions so please dont force yours on me. ~sHyAn
Just wondering if the band or one of the band members (or another refutable source) considers or confirms that Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat. was a demo. I think the section on this release should be re-written to say that it was an independent release, not a demo. Demos are generally not printed more than once... Franz T. Speeling 17:40, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Please stop changing the logo, it's just annoying. The current one is the real Slipknot logo.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Nastypogo ( talk • contribs)
I've read on the wikipedia page about Slipknot, and it has their genre as nu metal, they are a metal band, so please change it Because they always have been metal, just considered nu metal. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.224.116.225 ( talk) 03:25, 8 April 2007 (UTC).
I agree with the 1st comment, Slipknot are pure metal and every article I've read cites them as Metal, not Nu-Metal (or whatever crap you have called it). I have the Metal Hammer magazine from December 2006 (barcode 9770955119119) and it states their genre as "metal". Maggotized 12:43, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
To be perfectly hones I would go so far as to say that they ar Trash Metal!!
Just a thought.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU METAL. I'm deleting the other genres.
I added Death Metal with source. It should be acceptable since its source is as valid if not more so than AMG. -- 12.182.42.43 01:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
I think we should mention in the article that, although the release date for Voliminal was December 5th 2006, Australians had access to it as early as mid-November. I bought it the day before my brother's birthday (16th November) at a Sanity music store in the Hunter Valley (2 hours north of Sydney). Just thought it would be useful to let people know the release date wasn't always abided by... I was also the first person to buy it from that particular store, if that was the only store selling it I was the first person to EVER buy it! Okay, now I'm getting off the topic. Just thought I should let people know. Maggotized 12:39, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
there is no Trivia fro SlipKnoT!! i have lots of trivia for this band. Source = "Metal Hammer" {there were over 300 videotapes at 1 hour apiece for the Voliminal DVD, and Shawn Crahan watched every one of them. There are 325 edits} The same magazine also cites that they are influenced by Slayer... further research?? Maggotized 12:47, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Why Slipknot (band) and Slipknot? - Trampikey( talk)( contribs) 21:47, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Are Slipknot really splitting up? I did a quick check on Google and their are no other verifiable sources. So.... just wondering if anyone could clear this up 58.170.161.35 13:53, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Looking at the three exclamation marks alone tells me that this entry is pure nonsense.
whuts this about joey drumming for koRn? GuyDoe 02:20, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
he only for the tour like mike bordin did for them during the sic and twisted tour
Is heavy metal really relevant since both nu metal and alt. metal are subgenres of metal. DavidJJJ 10:13, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
"Slipknot's style is rather extreme."
The whole section is littered with personal points of view (case in point: the above line). Every genre related claim is debatable and therefore needs to be substantiated by citing a reliable source. It would do the page a lot more good though, if this section was completely re-written. Agent.of.brutality 15:38, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
slipknot is not fucking death metal dude, have u even heard death metal its nuthing like slipknot GuyDoe 18:20, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
