Band Photo: Slipknot (?)

According to MTV.com, Burger King has filed a lawsuit on Friday against Slipknot in Miami federal court, seeking a judgment that their use of the mock metal band, Coq Roq, "does not violate any rights, including rights of publicity or trademark rights" of Slipknot. A spokesperson for the band had no comment, and a rep for Burger King could not be reached by press time.

Either Slipknot is really stupid and is serious about the lawsuit. Or their really smart to do this for free publicity. I'm am a huge fan of them but it's just burger king. Don't sue them just make music.

What I don't get about all of this is that Slipknot is suing a mock band called coq roq that wears chicken head gear for having a similar sound and look . . . does that mean corey that you consider slipknot very similar to coq roq . . . well if you think you sound like that then yay for you buddy

Well it seems that hopefully Slipknot will learn their lesson and raise their IQ by 1 point, for the stupidity they have caused. And no, I meant the lawsuit, not the music, hahaha, thats another awful story...

I really don't understand why Slipknot chose to do this. Maybe its because they thought they were on a power and money trip, thinking they could do whatever stupidity they wished because they're rich and they think they're the best band in the world (Yeah right...). Well now they're messing with a corporate giant that could swallow them hole and their record company too if they wanted.

Why couldn't they have just sent a complaint to burger king instead? Why jump to the lawsuit anyway? Well it will be funny how they get out of this mess.

Well i've seen "coq roq" and before this legal battle ever began i said those guys look a lot like slipkot even the mask designs are similar. They don't resemble GWar,los straightjackets, marilyn manson, kiss, the spits, ICP, mushroom head, or eny other band who wear masks they resemble slipknot.

Well if i was in slipkot i would be p***ed because apperently burger king asked knot if they wanted to appear in an add for burger king and they refused so burger king j8ust made a band that resembles knot. I also read that knot was p***ed because some idiots think that slipknot and coq roq are the same band and call thier local radio station asking to hear "bob your head" by slipknot, but "bob your head" is the song slipknot sings in the BK add.

I really don't care who wins.

Sh1tknot can suck a fat one because all they're doing this for is money. Not only does their music suck, they're also pathetic sub-life forms who refer to their fans as "maggots." Before you know it, Corey and co. are going to sue every kid who wears a creepy looking Halloween costume. I want Sh1tknot and their fans to be gathered and dropped on an unpopulated island so a nuclear bomber can fire a nuclear cruise missile at the island, therefore raising the inteligence of the American genepool.

F*** Sh1tknot.

yeah hombre get yer sh** straight.......

As deathbringer said, this does make for free publicity until (if) this thing lands in a courtroom, from there you'll watch Slipknots interest in this affair decline as it begins to cost them $$$$$$$......

The most entertaining aspect of this is that the whole coq-roq campaign will end the second BK stops making the f***ing chicken fry things. Which likely won't last forever......Worse, coq roqs sound is more derivitve of the group-vocal shout stylings of 80's hair metal than the rumble stomp roar sing blast of Slipknots sound The visual more Gwar than Slipknot.....sad.....

Metals king pins are losing their f***ing minds......The Osbournes (never had minds to begin save for Ozzy who destroyed his) d***inson is living up to the first half of his name, Slipknot are acting like f***ing babies and Dave Mustaine went from fairly humble to uber-ego centric maniac....

Slipknot's illustrious command of the english language is made evident periodically throughout their CDs. Poignant wisdom and astute observations are fused fluidically in every verse. Each new song brings the depth of their artistic vision to new levels, and I profess that Burger King has exhibited a deficency in judgement with their lawsuit. The aforementioned lawsuit provides credence to the asertion that corporate bigwigs lack the vision to see past a pane of glass.

Burger King has set up on this site called myspace (you guys probably heard of it since everyone and their mama seems to have a myspace page now), anyways they tried advertising for burger king on there. I think they did target nu metal, hardcore, fuax punk, a few metal fans to befriend so they could attempt to advertise on their page. The person representing BK was rather annoying always posting bullentin saying: The King commands you to comment. I messaged the guy telling him to stop bullentin hogging & being such a jerk, after that he stopped posting bulletins. Because of this guy even before Burger King vs Slipknot (which is hilarious) I stopped eatting their food. Besides Sonic is better.

post 88 made me giggle, funny stuff.....Grimmace will always be a mystery...My theory is he's a purple chicken Mcnugget.

To almost everyone else.

BurgerKing isn't trying to attract the metal crowd via a "cool" band!.....

Their making a mockery of the genre so people think:

"Hehe, Burgerkings funny.....mmmmm, chicken fries.......(*drool*)

Next thing you know your out $5.37 and four pounds heavier.

Hey Guys, They have every right to sue, being as they do have a good reason, I even thought it was slipknot at first, sounds like Corey Tayelor, Sounds Like all of slipknot, they are even using the same Riffs as used in slipknot songs, thier guitars are dropped into slipknot's tuning, and they are wearing strangly similar masks, and by the way, SLIPKNOT AND VOL3: SUBLIMINAL VERSES are thier best albums, IOWA and MFKR are'nt that great.

I think you people should shut the f*** up and let slipknot deal with this sh** there way. They dont nead your stupid opinions. so get a life instead of sitting on the computer all day long talking sh** on people you've never even met.

I'm not a big fan of either Burger King or Slipknot, but at least Burger King has marginally good chicken products, Slipknot has nothing. I bet that stupid clown in the band, Shawn Crahan, will sue McDonalds for their mascot, Ronald McDonald.

F*** Sh1tknot.
