As much as I love SlipKnot, I hate Hot Topic. I might go to just piss off the staff. But that's a hour drive. :\

What a bunch of idiots some of you are. As if all of Slipknot's songs suddenly suck now, because they made a small deal with 'Hot Topic'.
Just because they want to make money, and not be poor losers like some of you, doesn't make them bad people.
Obviously they came to an agreement with 'Hot Topic' while playing the Mayhem Fest, since Hot Topic is a sponsor of the tour. File your jealously laden comments under WHO CARES.

who's jealous of slipknot? not me. they're the worst excuse for a "metal" band on the goddamn planet.
slipknot is a 9 woman band of rejects who made $ by writing songs about how misunderstood and hated they are by society. boo hoo.

Hot topic used to be a great store to go to for clothing of the alternitive nature that was affordable. Now it just sucks! You walk in and there is clothing that looks like it came straight from Wal Mart!

I used 2 go there, but not anymore I just don't care,,,,Uh, a listening party???!!! Seriously, what the fukk. I "kind of" don't mind Slipknot, but this is pointless. There are sooooooooooooo many other bands that would be well worth the drive, although a "listening party" at a store is just flat out weird! No fun in there! Baw-ha-ha-ha.

This way they can sell you their lame "clothing line" @ 10% off. "Who Cares" : You got it all wrong. It's not jealousy, it's pitty.

slipknot is comparable to daipers or training wheels. you use them for a while until you can do it yourself.

slipknot = gateway band. I grew out of slipknot at 14, i think its time the rest of slipknot's fans did the same

It's amazing the amount of backlash that people have against Hot Topic. I can guaranty that every person who ever makes a comment about Hot Topic being lame and selling clothes to wannabe goth/emo kids was once a "goth" "emo" or numetal kid who is p***ed that they stopped selling Tripp pants.

I would also like to add that due to a pair of Hot topic boots that I had for 3 days, now have a bad back. The damn heel fell off as I was going down concret stairs. You guys probably remember me telling you about that.

That's pretty cool they're doing that. Geez why does everybody complain about Hot Topic, it's places like Hot Topic and bands like Slipknot that are helping spread the genre of music you guys love so much. Hot Topic always plays really sh**ty punk anyways, Slipknot is a way better choice of music.
