Slipknot Tribute Album In The Works
Band Photo: Slipknot (?)
Cleopatra Records is reportedly putting together a SLIPKNOT tribute album, tentatively due before the end of the year. Among the bands set to appear on the CD is Northeast, PA's CYPHILIS, who contribute their version of "Liberate". With regards to how they approached their cover of the song, CYPHILIS frontman Nick D. told Electric City, "It's actually pretty dead-on with the CD. It's not one of their crazier songs. Some of their songs, there's just so much going on, that it's tough to do with just four guys. So we picked a song we knew we could do, and we recorded it. We play it live sometimes, but not too often, because I have to sing our own songs, and then to do a SLIPKNOT song ... it takes a lot."

i would have to agree with unerthed
slipknot is good but i dont think they deserve a tribute album i mean slipknot is a only a gimic band that knows how to get peoples attention and thats all they will be remembereed for.
do you think in 10 years people will still be listening to Iowa like people still listen to metallica's "... and justice for all" or nirvana's "nevermind"
well they might but slipknot are far from beeing considered rock ledgens and they don't deserve a tribute album ... yet. i mean ok they have been aroud for a good 10 years but people in general have not cared about them that long.
they may have been around since 95 but there first album came out in 2000 so i think they should hold off on the tribute album until they come out with some more sh it.

i think slipknot should take off there masks like mudvayne or ICP(can't stand those mutha fu ckers) because then it shows that they care more about there music then there gimic and apperance. i mean how do you know slipknot really has 9 dudes maybe they have like 20 members but you cant tell because there always wearing there masks.
music is the most important thing about a band after all ... isn't it?

why isn't there a good sepultura tribute or good ( I know there are a few) Slayer tribute albums? Not that this one will be worth a sh**. But seriously I don't see Slipknot even still together in 10 years. LIke angrystoner said, they are a gimic band and one that doen't and will never have the following that KISS built in the 70s.

I say we label your sh** as a "Tribute to Warrant".....That seems like an honest homage to a band worth remembering.
heh.
Someone needs to wait another 5-10 years on the whole Slipknot thing. They've cut 4 records, 3 if we're talking Major Road Runner albums.........They "have" made an impact and people will remember Slipknot for better or worse ten years down the line when they have long been broken up......But noone can honestly say that the world could agree on a classic Slipknot song.
One group of fans would be screaming "Eyeless" "Sic" and "Wait and Bleed"...Others would say "People equal sh**" or "Left behind" and of course the commercial breakthru songs "Duality and "Vermillion" from newer fans.....
I just think a decent tribute can be made on songs that only go back to 99, they've havent even gotten dusty yet....Time will tell what impact this band makes, not tribute bands in 2005......feh.

As much as I like SlipKnot(I'm not a very big fan or anyhting), they do not deserve a tribute album, least of all, not yet. 5 of the members are talented(Corey, Mick, James Joey, and Paul) all for different reasons. But they do not deserve a tribute album, nor does any band that has not done anything for metal. I'm not saying that SlipKnot are not metal, but they haven't changed or impacted it the way Metallica or Thin Lizzy did, did they?

Go to a CD store. every band has a tribute CD. Disturbed, Linkin Park, etc. Doesn't matter if you're good or not. Get a few hit songs and bands cover your stuff and BOOM....tribute CD. Whatever....just another CD that will sit on the shelves cause no body likes tributes unless you got big names on it.

tribute is'nt a band.
a tribute album is an album which is made to show respect to a band thats talented and has been around the block a few times.
tribute albums are are created by bands that look up to the band there creating the album for this is the reason most tribute albums suck.
you can have a kick a$$ band like the black sabboth but then get a crappy tribute album because even though all the songs on the cd were writen by the sabboth it's not as good because the band doin the tribute sucks and is less talented.
although the sack blabboth is a great tribute band and the original black sabboth would be proud.

seriously, i do not get why all these slipknot bashers come on to the slipknot threads. if you come on the thread, you must be interested in the band, so you actually like them, but are in the closet about it. Just admit it Slipknot Bashers, you all love this music, you just dont want to say anything, come on, we won't laugh at you. and the truelly anti-knot people will show their dislike for the band much better by choosing not to post on the slipknot thread.

Slipknot needs to know when their time to go is...and I think it's now. So all you Slipknot lovers need to find a HALF DESCENT band AT LEAST....like GOOD CHARLOTTE!!!

I Think That Andrew McBable Is Right. Sliknot suck . I Don't Like G.C. But I Think Their Better Than Slipknot. Hey Shreddin - Since You Say That All Their Drummers Are Good Than Why Don't They Just Pick Just One Of Them To Be Their Only Drummer So They Dont Look Like A Bunch Of Douchers On Stage. They Don't Do That Because They Need All Of Them To Sound Decent But They Just Sound Bad. I Mean REALLY REALLY BAD. They Suck Live. Corey CAN NOT SING LIVE HE SOUNDS LIKE CRAP ON STAGE. They Look Like Queers And You Know It's True. Hopefully They Split Up. And Soon. We Don't Need Yet Another Bad Album From SlipSUCK.

Obviously the two kids that posted below me are just jealous because they wish that their band was a good as slipknot is. I don't know why they have tree drummers in their band but I do know that it is apart of their sound. Joey is a great drummer and I think that he could do all of the drumming by himself if he really wanted to. Slipknot may not be as heavy as when they first came out but they are still a sh** load better than good charlotte ever will be. I mean come on slipknot and good charlotte aren't even the same genre of music. seriously give me a f***ing break. Slipknot is better by far.

post 93 wtf are you talking about, if your going to call me dumb give some proof you co.ck sucker.
Shreddin joey is slipknot's only talented drumber and i know he could do all the drumming on his own, but i kind of understand why slipknot has so many members ... the talented dudes in the group don't wanna be called sell outs by the guys with no talent in the group.
It's like if i decide to form a band with my eight closest friends and onl four of my friends have eny talent so what happens is so that the no talent guys don't feel left i just say "ok me and the other talented guys are gonna play our instraments while you four run around stage like fools and act like your doing something".
I think slipknot should drop the no talent guys just like post 93's dad droped him on his head and then raped him, but i would advise slipknot not to rape the no talent guys they should just oust them, but thats my opinion.

it wouldn't hurt to give it a try . I totally agree with you on the sellouts pov though. That would seriously hurt their rep if they got rid of the no talent guys. they have talent but the members with talent are being held back by the others and as a result are not nearly as good as they could be.

hey angry stoner, i am a chick and i give great blow jobs too so saying that i'm a co.ck sucker is kind of flattering....
if you listen to a SlipKnoT album you can hear how all the parts of each contributing member make the big picture... their parts are well arranged so they don't play all the time just for the hell of it.... there are plenty of bands with members that just play all the time, it gets boring and also quite annoying.
Thats my opinion... take it or leave it.... oh yeah i swallow too

Shreddin i agree slipknot should lose the masks i mean i really don't care it there wearing masks, if they were wearing dresses i would still listen to them if there music was good, but if they lose the masks it's good for there career, it shows that there more than some fad gimic band and they care about there music more than putting on a show i mean look at mudvayne they took off there make-up and it's done wonders for there career.
I doubt slipknot will ever take off the masks because they don't want there fans to realize how mediocare they really are.
slipknot is decent, people who say there the greatest band ever obviously needs to buy some more cd's.
And people who say mudvayne are slipknot wanna bes are full of bull because mudvayne had the balls to remove the make up and show the world that they are more than a fad gimic band and now there talent is being realized.

angrystoner, yeah mudvayne definently deserves mad credit for taking off the makeup. They are good but the new album sucks compared to LD50. I was expecting something heavy but it was pretty much a big letdown. I guess i shoulda known that it was gonna be soft like their first single happy? god i hate that song!
Member
104. writes:
I agree "LD50" is better than "lost and found". I like "the end of all things to come".
Well mudvayne got soft because they wanted to go a little mainstream, actually i expected them to get softer just like SOAD, slipknot, and alot of other metal bands gone main stream.
I think SOAD is the perfect example of a hard band gone soft.
Ok you look at there first album and then you look at there last one "mezmerize" you see the first one showed off there true talent as an alternative metal band or what ever you wanna call it , but "mezmerize" like "Toxcity" was meant to sell ( "toxcity" was kick ass).
Although the first album was much better than "mezmerize" the first album did'nt have crossover apeal like mezmerize does for god sake it's almost a pop album but i still enjoy it.
You see before "mezmerize" SOAD was only mainstream among people who like rock and metal and never did i think SOAD would ever play on SNL like they did, but now that they came out with the softer pop rock album they seem to be every where i mean there in the news paper there on T.V there was even an artical on them in entertainment weekly.
For alot of bands it's all about the "nookie" which i don't mind as much as other "metal heads" because to be honest if i were in a band i would do what ever it takes to make an a$$ load of cash and eny band who says they wouldn't are either lying or they care to much about there fans like pantera and slayer.

It sucks when a band sells out and goes mainstream because then their sound changes in a some ways.Its not always a drastic change but you can always tell. I do agree though angrystoner, people do feel the need to make as much as moneny as possible.I think that they don't realize though that they can still get alot of money without having to sellout. Heavy metal is starting to make a very big comeback.

Mareuder have you heard all of SOAD's albums because if you have you would realize that while mezmerize is an over all good cd it's not as good or as hard as there previous albums.
Shreddin i agree the only draw back to a metal band going mainstream is that there music changes to get more accepted into the mainstream. Alot of dumb a$$ people say there sellin out because they don't care about there fans enymore which is bull sh it, you could make mad money and still love your fans.
In my opinion SOAD would wipe the floor with slipknot eny day of the week there far more original and talented than slipknot so is about every other band i listen to.
I love L.O.G ,but then who does'nt i really want to see them at SOTU to bad i can't go.
SOTU is going to wipe the floor with ozzfest, warped tour, and gigantour. I mean the only talented bands at ozzfest this year besides black sabboth are KSE, iron Maiden, arch enemy, mudvayne(there new stuff) , and trivum.simple plan is in the Warped tour tour line up thats all i need to know to realize that it's going to blow and the only good bands at gigan tour are dream theater and nevermore ( i hate Dave mustaghn or how ever you spell his last name) .
Ozzfest this year is the best there has been in years, but SOTU is still going to kill.

Seriously, there are a lot of mis-informed people here, especially about band's develpments.
Take a look at practically any metal band. Their first album is always their heaviest. Why? To attract attention. Lets face it, if SlipKnot came out with VOL.3 back in 2001, nobody would've cared. But they made a 'heavy as sh**' album and caught people's ears.
Look at Trivium, their two albums were pretty heavy but will get softer, which does not mean bad.
System, although their first album was heavy and enjoyable, it had no melody whatso-ever and didn't really show off what the band could do. Then Toxicity came out, a bit softer bit wholly enjoyable, same with Steal This Album, although a bit harder then Toxicity. Mezmerize, in my opinion, is a very good album which lived up to expectations. That band created a unique sound, if anybody can experiment and sound good, it's them.
But just because something is softer, mainstream, or ''radio-made'', doesn't make it a bad song. Like I said before, a good song is a good song. If a song is mainstream, deal with it and stop complaining that is is mainstream even if it is a good song.
Velvet Revolver are a 'mainstream' band, but does that make them bad? Hell no. Their music is ''radio-friendly'' but does that downplay the skill of Slash or Duff?
ANd in the end, if a band has been around long enough, it will get tired of it's own sound. It happens to most bands, SlipKnot, Metallica, System, the list goes on for hours. Normally, the people in these bands are more talanted musicians then the people who are complaining about them(with the exception of Good Charlotte, Linkin' Parkand Marilyn Manson), so the people in the bands know what they are doing when they do it.
As far as SlipKnot are concerned, they ARE starting to take of their masks at concerts, even if their faces are covered with black make-up. Within time, the masks and make-up will disappear and so will one of the percussionits or DJ's, I predict anyways. SO, their maks are coming off, that's half the people around here's argument already lost...

First off i'm not b****in cause slipknot made a softer cd the the first one and iowa. So watch who you say is b****in about a band going mainstream. I'm just saying that like metallica, system, mudvayne and some other bands, that they need to go back to their roots and make a album that is heavy as sh**.

Secondly, what about the rest of VR.Huh? why did you you just pick out slash and duff to say that they have great skills.Is it because the rest of the band pretty much sucks and will never come close to being anything like GNR.The answer to that question is yes.Most definintly yes.
117. writes:
Slipknot, in my opinion, are one hell of a band. Sure, they could take thier masks off, but what would that achieve? Nothing. I've seen them play without thier masks, they played just as well without them than with them. And just because Vol 3 is different to s/t and Iowa, what the hell doesthat mean? Aren't bands allowed to evolve? Metallica did it with St Anger (bear in mind that it didn't compare to any pre-1990 stuff) but they did and so have so many others. But yes, a tribute album may be somewhat premature.
119. writes:
To post 116. Clearly you don't have a clue about musicians in general. I picked out Slash because he is considered a god by some people, and I picked out Duff becasue he is my 3rd favourite bassist of all time. Scott can write brilliant lyric's but he doesn't really shine out like the others. I mean, I saw them jam on TV and was pretty much blown away by the sheer skill of them...

this is slipknot news go talk about other band on theyr news and joey is a really really really really good drummer if u could play that fast u could beat the f*** out of some1 in like 1.43589793 seconds and if were talking about other bands talent go with MuDvAyNe's Bassist Ryan Martinie he's an awesome bassist he kicks a$$ if we could mix
Slipknot's Joey Jordison
Mudvayne's Ryan Martinie
DamagePlan's Dimbag Darrel Abbot(if he was still alive Rock In Peace)

I don't know who this Dave Kushner guy is but he sucks too. VR will NEVER be anywhere near as good as GNR.RIP DIMEBAG

Alright dude, whatever. I don't really care what you think, although what I saw of Dave Kushner was pretty good.
I do agree with you about the band in Post 129 though, Zakk and Cliff would be so cool together... here's another try...
Vocals-Corey Taylor(SlipKnot) or Matt Heafy(Trivium)
Lead Guitar-Zakk Wylde BLS(I just had to...)
Rhythm Guitar-James Hetfield Metallica
Drums-Joey Jordison SlipKnot
Bass-Tim Commerford RATM/Audioslave.
Although Zakk is a d***head most of the time and James sometimes acts like a spoiled child.

Slipknot are a joke, they don't deserve a tribute album. Slayer eats these guys for breakfast. Tom Araya kicks Corey's a$$ on vocals and kicks that clown's a$$ on bass. Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman eat Sh1tknot's two guitarists alive, and Dave Lombardo mops the floor with Joey on drums.
It's nice to know that Slayer is still around making good music and Sh1tknot will be forgotten in about five years.

I Wouldn't say All-Punk is crap though thats a massive statement to make just because YOU don't like it... Some of the metal-guitar GREATS have come from a punk background. You can hear it in the attitude of their playing. Tom Morello can Punk it to the max then slip straight into Metal riff mayhem... this dosen't make him queer, just diverse.
Now that singer from 'Simple Plan' needs a tribute band entitled "SIMPLY GREENDAY RIP OFFS"

first of all, it wasn't slipknot's idea to make a tribute album. Blame it on cleopatra records! Why is it everytime there's a slipknot topic, slayer fans tend to ruin it, keep on comparing, sh!t like that. I mean, i like slayer because of their brutality and dark music. I also like slipknot for their musical style, aggression, etc. It's just a matter of "personal preference" when it comes to the music you like. Do not compare bands, remember it is not easy to create music, and as a musician, you know it's hard to make perfect music to please all people who's goin to hear it. I like bands who don't care about what other's think though. Guys, if you want to compare, compare your B@lls instead. I don't need to compare slayer and slipknot because for me, they're both kick-@ss bands. I'm more of a slayer fan than a slipknot fan, but i don't think slipknot suck, they're great to be honest. Like other metal bands, they deserve to be respected, like what dimebag told slipknot during their tour. Just because it didn't reached your level of expectation doesn't mean a band would have to suck. That's redicolous. Who do you think you are? The "Critic God of Judgements"? I think only 8 year olds do that. Be open minded about things. Some people, to be honest, are just afraid that their friends, bandmates, or their brother or sister might laugh at 'em when they hear a slipknot track on their cd player. That's a screw-up, and that's being unrealistic. Have your own mindset on things. If you dont like slayer, fine. if you dont like slipknot, who gives a f***? Just dont say anything unecessary to get the "spotlight". Slayer revolutionized the sound of metal for like 20 years, and that's a major contribution to metal. Slipknot, is still a young band, and will stay longer if they make honest "slipknot" music through the years of their band's existence.

The guys just got tired of playing stupid-@ss(lack of creativity, 1 minute songs, dumb@ss lyrics, no good guitar playing) punk music, and so, they thought of creating heavy music. Music with much more creativity and sheer talent. And so, metal was born.
Hey Fr4nk3nChr1sT, you must realize, PUNK sucks. and you too.

hmm......knot, not quite the time for a tribute album, but it'd b interestin t hear a band like korn, devil driver or mudvayne play knot songs. cos if they bands u like ull enjoy the songs, maybe not as much as the knot versions, but they're sure t add there own twists to the songs, especially mudvayne, ryknow would fucin make knot basslines amazing, im not sayin they aint good already, but ryan sure know's how t write, he the best bassist in ma books, along wiv geddy lee, n yes les claypool, even tho loadza people h8 primus, e can fucin play the bass.
of cors not a whole lota bands could get a knot drumline down to perfection, but obviously lars ulrich, travis smith, vinnie paul could lay down the lines wiv ease.
n i agree wiv the main posters on here, dont come here t p*ss on knot, so f*cin wot they wear masks n sh*t, thats their choice, it dont change the music does it? mos tof the time you're jus listenin t the music, not watchin em, its jus for a bit of publicity, u'd all do it too if it'd get u more money.
u haters r f*cin LOSERS! so y dont u jus f*c off t wherever u came from, n jus like some of the people on here i dont like slayer that much, but i still admit they no how t play some awsome sh*t, so y do some of the slayer fans rip into knot jus cos they aint as good, thery may not b metal gods like slayer n pantera, but they're the metal of today for kids today t listen to, not sayin pantera n slayer r sh*t cos they're old, cos they aint sh*t at all, but times change, knot is the music of today, if u want more traditional metal thats recent listen t trivium.
hop i dint affend no1 :P

I can't believe you guys brought up Iraq on here. Its one thing to slam something about a band or a person but people dying for other people is totally different. At the Mudvayne concert in mpls last year they showed total respect for the troops by making a tribute to them. Hey shouldn't that be the way it always is? These bands are making a tribute to a band they like and respect. It doesn't matter if YOU think they deserve it. The people that are making it think that they do. And just so you Know wherever you're from angrystoner USA isn't the only country that has troops over there right now. Hope you aren't part of Canada or their mother country , which is part of GB cause you would totally be cheering against yourself on that one. Go smoke another one and leave the politics to the people who care.

I have more Very old Barton in my veins than actual blood at the moment but my respect goes to the troops fighting (my brother in law is very much trading shells at the moment, he watched a friend take a hit to collar bone last Tuesday) a campaign that is as worthless as the oposum carcass I jog past every other day.
I imagine any guy worth his weight in military issue kevlar would rather be going toe to toe with honest to God terrorists than Jihadists inspired by military occupation. We dont NEED to be in Iraq. We may as well be in Libya if you are up on history within the last 25-45 years....It's not democracy at stake or terrorist capturing it's ----OIL---- that we are there for....
America must be safe while we transition to a safer resource over these next 40 years. I cant wait till we get our guys out of there.....Bush is an honest-to-God Pinocchio.
Come at me with what you will, but I happen to know born and raised Republicans who are Private first class and a Major who have seen this war take a toll much greater than it's purpose.
Mommy, Daddy (where do your political views come from?) and big brother are ALWAYS right!
Go Mudvayne for backing our troops in the quagmire!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wasn't implying that we need to be there but cheering on the other country is pretty sick. Instead of making everyone believe that I don't support our military in what we are doing I would much rather make people believe that I am one hundred percent behind our troops, even if its not the most "prestigious" cause. If my son decides to join the military in 16 years I want him to know that I would be very proud to have him do that. Our troops need our support more than they need to hear some idiot saying GO IRAQ GO. Every war has their purpose but these guys are just doing their jobs so who are you to diss the cause when they are out there fighting for it?

and as an fyi for you RememberMetal? no I don't take my political opinions from other people. My "Mommy and Daddy" are part of a religious cult that doesn't believe in politics and my "Big Brother" doesn't exist. All of my feelings on the subject come from seeing what happens to friends I have in the service.

Soad is'nt punk to who ever said that.
And please do not confuse bands such as MCR and simple plan as true punk and as for green day they owned in the early days. Anti-flag rules there the fu cking sh it and so is 7 seconds true punk does not suck in my opinion because i can't even think of a band thats even a little bit mainstream and punk because true punk stays under ground.

filthee whore....heh, thats a great name btw....
Political agendas are as real as the malleable concepts of right and wrong. You may tend to "follow your heart" rather than support an opinion leader or an elected official but at the end of the day someone is saying something to get your vote.....More importantly I happen to think it's a good thing that Mudvayne support the men and women in the service. I also don't agree with anyone saying "go Iraq go" whomever is saying that is doing so to provoke people like yourself.

I've never said I don't believe in politics or that this cause isn't the greatest, and as far as my vote goes Thats my personal choice. I just think its lame when people are sitting on their asses over here collecting wellfare and b****ing about cutbacks and the war when other people are over there losing their lives for a cause that everyone is b****ing about. Have some self dignity and try to help the situation instead of just pissing other people off. IF you don't like it do something about it. or at least try and my name reflects nothing on my morals as far as politics goes. VERITAS<;FIDELATIS<;OMERTA
