Why is it part of the beginning is basically copy/pasted later on? Shouldn't one or the other be removed, so as not to be redundant? 72.218.81.51 ( talk) 23:24, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
I did a first run-through edit, but I will be making a more complete edit in the near future. SkyllaLaFey ( talk) 18:53, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Okay, someone has deleted my article on this page, whoever did it, you had every right, but come on, can't a guy say what he thinks? This is a public site. I'm sorry if I had put anything offensive in, I just think Slipknot are deathcore metal, not alternative metal, but people can have there opinions.
why has it been removed again? i think it should be added again because: these sorces say they are alternative metal http://www.rockdetector.com/artist,8210.sm,http: and http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:dxfoxql5ldae~T1 some slipknot songs have no rap influence more complex riffs and guitar solos so wouln't count as nu metal or rap metal or heavy metal. they mix alot of diferant styles of metal and non metal music together. any thoughts? 82.22.145.137 ( talk) —Preceding comment was added at 23:41, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
So Slipknot mixing different genres into their music doesn't classify them as experimental? But yet Fantômas, Isis, and maudlin of the Well are, even though they just do the same thing? What's your criteria for this? If it's not mixing different genres, then what is it, creating instruments for their music? Because none of those 3 bands do that. Is it odd time signatures? Slipknot has done that too, just like those other bands. Tell me how you judge that, because right now I'm assuming you just have some really ass backwards double standards. Fantômas is mainly just a more recent Naked City, anyways, even though I like them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.236.37.67 ( talk) 13:24, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
The infobox does not need to include every genre of every song that the band has ever written. It is a simply a general overview for the purpose of quick reference. Slipknot, as we all know, has a very diverse music repertoire from practically every genre. We should only include the main genres. Blackngold29 ( talk) 19:53, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
To Zouavman: I didn't add the genre to the page. Chill, man! I didn't add it because I didn't have a source. But if you've ever listened to MFKR, then you would obviously know without a shadow of a doubt that they had a ton of experimental moments. Dark Executioner ( talk) 18:23, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Could 'funk metal (early)' be added to the genres with allmusicguide's article on MFKR as a citation then? Munci ( talk) 16:17, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
What would you consider MFKR's genre to be then? Munci ( talk) 18:34, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
There are certainly some bits which are not rock at all like Confessions and parts of Do Nothing/Bitchslap so it's definitely not as simple as that. Munci ( talk) 19:47, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

The article Slipknot (band) has more than 8000 views a day. Slip knot has less than 250 views a day. SlipKnot (web browser) has about 100 views a day. Every redirect should go to the most notable article. Only if the other articles are also important, the redirect should go to the disambiguation page. But Slipknot (band) is obviously and incomparably the most notable of the articles on the disambiguation page. And the redirect Slipknot should not be used as a disambiguation page. For this is the Slipknot (disambiguation)--Lykantrop ( Talk) 00:09, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
At first, Slipknot and slip knot are two different terms. You can't ambiguate Slipknot because of slip knot. It would be possible only if the knot was called slipknot, or the band was called Slip Knot. An example for how it is correctly is Nailbomb. I recommend to read Wikipedia:Disambiguation. -- LYKANTROP ✉ 11:43, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Listen to real alt-metal (Faith no More, the melveins....) Slipknot isn´t an alt-rock-influenced band —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nu89 ( talk • contribs) 17:36, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Slipknot shouldn't even be considered metal at all. That term shouldn't be used in unison with this band.

Can you add with the associated acts that #REDIRECT Joey Jordinson is playing for KoRn now? I didn't see that in there but it does say that he is playing for Korn while their drummer is on hiatus.36 AM May 19, 2007.
Jordison did play with Korn, but I don't know if we should add that to the associated acts list, as it was only a temperary fill in for an already established band. Not a "side project" like the rest of them are. Black ngold29 16:19, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
You're all wrong. Joey played with Korn in 2007 only. He hasn't played with them in over 8 months. I think the current Korn drummer is Ray Luzier or someone like that. 68.215.135.164 ( talk) 19:32, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Look I know everybody see it their way BUT PEOPLE?! what I've read right now made me laugh and cry in the same time... I MEAN - "The band's musical influences include groove metal, extreme metal, industrial metal, and HIP HOP." what the hell?! rap, hip hop?! I mean I really don't know if someone was joking or what, but people change that please for the sake of the super cabbage... I even don't like Slipknot, I dislike their satanistic attitude(to tell you the truth it makes me sick) but I think its ridiculous to say that good musicians like Slipknot are(at least their music is good) are rap or hip hop, wtf?!?!? if this is not consequence of vantalism or joking, then I am trully shocked... -- VEGETA_DTX ( talk) 20:34, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
First of all, sorry for posting this into inappropriate section, and thanx on explanation THOUGH I still disagree about leaving the "Hip Hop" and "Rap" into genres because it ridiculously doesn't have anything to do with it(at least the way I know hip hop and rap) but oh well everybody see it from they're point of view...
Second If its true what you've said that they said something like "Nobody is into that shit." than I guess I officially became Slipknot fan today :D because that was the only thing I disliked about Slipknot...thanx! :D--

Hi guys. NWOAHM is not a musical genre. It is a movement. It has nothing to do with infobox of bands. But I am glad you are interested in inclusion of NWOAHM in Slipknot article. I wrote NWOAHM article and I had a problem to enforce it because of one user. So feel free to keep that thing in the article... But not infobox please - as I said - it is not a genre.-- LYKANTROP 20:55, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm not looking to start a pointless argument or anything, but NWOBHM was also a movement and plenty of bands have it added in their infobox...
I know the NWOAHM is not as well-defined yet though, maybe it could be added to the infobox when the movement is a little more well-known? James25402 ( talk) 09:27, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
I thought NWOAHM meant Metalcore... which Slipknot is certainly NOT!!!!! They do not even remotely sound like bands like Trivium or (horrible band) Avenged Sevenfold. Slipknot has more talent in their masks than metalcore has in its whole body! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.215.135.164 ( talk) 19:36, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
I really think Heavy metal should be added. In fact, I think Heavy metal should the only genre in the genre box, with a "see below" link and have a debated genre section that lists different genres from different sources, much like what the Cradle of Filth article has. I mean, while Slipknot are typically classified as Nu metal by Metalheads, there's no denying it's highly debated of what genres (Most bands can't be pigeon-holded under one genre, after all) they would belong to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.227.133.187 ( talk) 08:41, 3 August 2008 (UTC) Well they aren't even metal so I don't know why you would suggest that. http://www.metal-archives.com/index.php —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.222.210.72 ( talk) 11:14, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Well, it is a good article, but it includes some unsourced claims. Those were probably added after the GA-review, but now the article would not pass the Wikipedia:Good article criteria anymore. So I just recommend to source them or delete them, otherwise Slipknot will be deleted from the GA-list. Cheers-- LYKANTROP 20:49, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Man, the article is pretty good material! Why don't you fix the small errors and go to Wikipedia:Featured article criteria, Wikipedia:Peer review and Wikipedia:Featured article candidates?-- LYKANTROP 21:05, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
I think Slipknot is a combination of Alternative Metal, Nu Metal, Rapcore, Thrash Metal and Extreme Metal —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.243.88.114 ( talk) 19:05, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Okay, does Jim Root play on the album at all? I thought the other guitars were Brainard! If this si the case, why is Brainard not credited? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.215.135.164 ( talk) 20:54, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Are you curious about this too? I think I've found a Slipknot album that Wikipedia hasn't created an article for. It looks like all of the songs are very rare b-sides. Follow this link to check it out: [2] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.215.135.195 ( talk) 14:59, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Actually there is a album missing from Wikipedia it was an unreleased album recorded one year after Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat. It was called Crowz but the only person who really has a copy of it is Shawn Crahan and it's locked up in his basement there have been few songs leaked though through various places. 4.248.228.47 ( talk) 03:37, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
I changed the dates for Sid Wilson because they aren't consistent with the article, which states "In early 1998, the band created another small demo, which included "Spit It Out". The demo was sent to many record labels and, along with a growing popularity on the Internet and help from their then manager Sophia John, interest grew from record labels and eventually producer Ross Robinson was contacted. The band, which had a strong interest in working with Robinson, met with him and it was then decided they would work together. Soon after, DJ Sid Wilson was brought in to the band after showing great interest and impressing band members. Mattpaige ( talk) 17:22, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
In the fourth paragraph of the "Early years" section, I find the following sentence: "Slipknot had returned to the studio having developed new material, which was, demanded more vocal melody." Um... what? Maybe I'm not reading it right, but the sentence structure doesn't seem quite right to me, especially since I can't even figure out what the sentence is trying to say (which is why I'm not taking the initiative to correct it). Can anyone lend some insight? - 68.146.190.58 ( talk) 06:45, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
What's this about slipknot being metalcore? Metalcore is bands like Trivium. 68.155.134.6 ( talk) 17:50, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

First, the members section is more linear and aesthetically looks better when organized via code number.
Second, the discography section looks better with the dates before the title. This is how discographies are organized in featured articles, i'm going to change it around now.
Anyone with a good reason why it should be changed back, give me one.

84.23.102.201 ( talk) 02:03, 19 August 2008 (UTC)Do you people know about the boy who allegedly killed another boy with a sword at a secondary school in South Africa? The alleged killer was wearing a Slipknot-lookalike mask. I don't know anything about editing Wikipedia but I believe this would possibly interest you people. It is currently in the newspapers in South Africa. Here is a link (if it works): [4]. I hope this shows up in the discussion page.
I agree, although at the moment there are some hysterical reaction to the news in the south African press, we should wait and see if this kid was really influenced by Slipknot. I think it is currently just some wild speculation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.2.124.253 ( talk) 09:44, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Slipknot has recently being blamed as a motivating factor behind Morne Harmse's sword attack at his school. Harmse took a Ninja sword to his school in Krugersdorp, South Africa and killed and unnamed 16 year old boy and injured two school workers. He had painted his face black and wore a black balaclava and resembled Slipknot's drummer. South African police refuse to comment on any possible link between alleged Satanism, Slipknot and the killing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stuartmferguson ( talk • contribs) 12:13, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I believe there were other tour dates that have also been cancelled.

Is there a SlipKnoT EP? Cause on iTunes, it shows a EP called, SlipKnoT, having six songs, and released in, 1988 or 1989, they scream in the EP. Could this be an official EP before the starting of the band and could the EP be different band with same title?? we'll find out sometime, and on iTunes, its called "SlipKnoT - EP" (Of course).
