What is the Slipknot star?

      Comment   
Slipknot’s logo is a nine-pointed star also known as a nonagram. It represents the strong bond between all nine members of the Slipknot family and has nothing to do with Satan or religion, despite some claims from scared parents.

How did Slipknot get their name?

The band took their name from the opening track of their demo-cum-album Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. which was released on Halloween 1996. While it's technically their first proper release, MFKR is not considered the first Slipknot album and more of a glorified demo. It includes early versions of the songs Only One and Tattered & Torn, which would later appear on Slipknot in 1999, and Gently, which would appear on Iowa in 2001.

Do Slipknot still wear masks?

Slipknot have worn masks and boiler suits since 1997, with the original idea coming from Shawn Crahan who developed the character Shawn The Clown. While the band no longer remain anonymous and are often pictured without masks now (except Craig Jones who prefers to remain in the shadows), masks are always worn on stage.

What are Slipknot's biggest songs?

Korn Sentil American Media Through New Clips

      2 comments   
Korn is an American heavy metal band nu metal band. They just released a video clip from their single titled Spike in My Veins.
In the video, you will see various kinds of artists or important people at a glance. They include, Justin Bieber, Barack Obama, Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke, Rob Ford, and Kanye West.

However, Korn did not insult them, but the American media itself. According to them, the media is too manipulating the minds of viewers with their news which tends to be exaggerated.


"We are all too caught up in the internet and TV media that is crazy. We are unconsciously invited not to care about the privacy of the artists whose media is exaggerated," said Jonathan Davis, as reported on the Rollingstone website.

Single Spike in My Veins is one of the tracks from their last album THE PARADIGM SHIFT. And the band will soon hold their tour in Australia starting on February 20.

Korn Brings Bad Memories of Childhood Jonathan Davis

      Comment   
Do you still remember this hip metal band? They often wear adidas brand outfits. Who else if not Korn.
On March 13, Korn performed and performed songs from their first debut album in 1994. That night they performed entertaining fans who missed their appearance at the Brooklyn Bowl in Las Vegas.

After performing that night, Davis also expressed his opinion on Rolling Stone. "An old story. And bringing this song will not have any effect on me like before. There is rude behavior there. I have to deal with it," he said.

'War', So Sum 41's Second Single Released Together with Music Video

      Comment   
After falling - waking up and Deryck Whibley finished rehab, now this Canadian punk-rock unit stepped back into the world of music. Deciding to join the giant label Hopeless Records, Sum 41 immediately prepared a new album, 13 VOICES.

It didn't take long, the track Fake My Own Death was immediately hacked by Sum 41 as an initial echo of their return. Comeback with complete personnel, this time Sum 41 presents rougher, dynamic music, but still has clean sound quality.

Not only that, the band released their second single after Fake My Own Death. As published in the press release we received, Sum 41 decided that War was the title and the second track was released.
In contrast to Fake My Own Death, on this track War Sum 41 presents music that is more relaxed with a pop aroma that is quite thick. Well, it feels like repeating pop songs on the CHUCK album like Some Say or Pieces.

But there are strong reasons why you should listen to this Sum 41 song guys. Because the lyrics and music videos presented represent Deryck Whibley's messy past where the cemetery became a symbol of the funeral of the bad things he has now left behind.
The 13th VOICES album itself contains 10 fresh tracks and of course different from the previous Sum 41 music colors. It's just that, proof of Deryck and Sum 41 along with this album is still worth the wait when it is released on October 7, 2016.

Metallica American Rock Group

      1 comment   
Their first album Kill ’Em All introduced exciting, spikily abrasive thrash, but it was their second, Ride the Lightning, that changed the game completely

To truly understand the colossal impact on metal of Metallica’s first two albums – newly remastered and reissued – first try to imagine that you are 14 and absolutely furious about pretty much everything. There was plenty of noisy, fast and deliberately ’orrible music available to delinquent teens in the early 80s, but punk rock and heavy metal belonged to an earlier generation: all great music, of course, but nothing we surly longhairs could truly call our own. And then thrash metal happened.

Metal nerds may quite reasonably attribute the creation of thrash to the efforts of Motörhead, Venom and numerous obscure bands that added extra fire and a dash of snot to the heavy metal blueprint, but Metallica’s debut album is the true starting point for a sub-genre that continues to exert a vast influence today.

Kill ’Em All – which was originally to have been called Metal Up Your Ass, until it was pointed out that the title might make the album unsellable – exploded into metal fans’ consciousness in the summer of 1983. It was brutal, abrasive and joyously aggressive; as much a paean to the joys of making a skull-shattering din as it was a statement of intent. Songs like Hit the Lights, Whiplash and Metal Militia heralded the arrival of a new, younger, spikier and much grittier musical force; a beer-swilling, speed-guzzling blizzard of arrogance, acne and antagonism that permanently blurred the lines between punk and metal. More than anything, it sounded like the future.

By the time Metallica released Ride the Lightning a year later, this fiery garage band had mutated into something far more imposing. Gone were the simplistic, high-speed assaults; replaced by a hugely ambitious reimagining of the heavy metal template that prized melody and intricate arrangements as highly as brute force and bravado.

Unlike many of their peers from the early thrash scene, Metallica were plainly developing into great songwriters, too. Metal’s detractors might be reluctant to admit it, but songs like Creeping Death and For Whom the Bell Tolls boasted hooks that would make Moby Dick flinch. There were even moments, most notably on grandiose semi-ballad Fade to Black, that even embraced subtlety, of all things. Some diehard fans balked at the notion that Metallica had grown up a bit, but the majority were simply blown away. Within the space of 12 months, the band had reinvented an entire genre twice. As an added bonus, through his groundbreaking work on Ride the Lightning, producer Flemming Rasmussen had almost casually redefined what heavy metal records could sound like and turned Metallica into a safe bet for world domination in the process.

Time is the real test of an album’s significance. Even now, 33 years after their debut, only one album is ever likely to beat Kill ’Em All and Ride the Lightning in a popular vote on metal’s greatest records – and that’s Master of Puppets, the third Metallica album, which turned four snotty, denim-clad hooligans in their early 20s into global superstars in 1986. By that point, of course, Metallica were firmly on the road to mainstream acceptance. Those first two records, on the other hand, will always belong to the scruffs, the outcasts, the Metal Militia.

Metallica and Lady Gaga Have More Collaboration Opportunities

      Comment   
Apart from the technical errors that exist, it seems anyone will find it hard to forget the energetic performances of Metallica and Lady Gaga at the 2017 Grammy Awards yesterday. Interestingly, reported by Rolling Stone via Mic, Lars Ulrich also said the attitude and appearance of Lady Gaga was like the fifth member for Metallica.

"Lady Gaga is typically perfect as the band's fifth member (Metallica). Her voice, attitude, even appearance look really awesome. Playing together doesn't feel difficult and balanced, and she has a hard rock and metal soul in her blood. Everything feels easy for Gaga. There is nothing to make up, he is really warm and energetic, "Lars said.

The latest, Lady Gaga also reportedly told the drummer of the veteran American metal unit to re-create something together. Although the Poker Face hit maker does not imply the potential for collaboration, offering metal music with Metallica on a wider audience can be one of the best ideas.

"We have to do something again together. Some people don't really know how important metal music is and its scope. They (Metallica) really keep the stadium full until now. And because all of this is music culture, the poem feels very strong. I always say to people, when they say, 'oh, he is the next Madonna', 'no, I'm the next Iron Maiden,' "Gaga said.

It was quite difficult to imagine what it would be like when Metallica and Lady Gaga collaborated. But given the positive response of their appearance at the Grammy Awards some time ago, it was interesting to wait for the results of their collaboration.

While on the other hand Metallica itself has not hinted at a sign to start writing new material, but in an interview with A.V Club, returning to take a tour by land is one of the things they are currently thinking about. Well, it's likely that Metallica is preparing for a new release with Lady Gaga as a collaborator.

Cliff Burton's 'Metallica' father revealed charity from his son's Royalty

      Comment   
Last year Metallica released a book containing memories about their band mates. One of the most remembered is Cliff Burton, the bassist who accompanied Metallica on his first three albums. Before being replaced by Jason Newsted.

Cliff Burton played on three albums KILL ‘EM ALL, MASTER OF PUPPETS, and RIDE THE LIGHTNING. However, after that Burton died on a tour in 1986. After his death the Burton family still received a royalty check on his behalf and the funds turned out to be used for good purposes.

Ray Burton, father of Cliff Burton, recently revealed this information through an interview with Podcast Alphabetallica. He revealed that he always used his royalty check to fund Castro Valley High School music school scholarships.

"Children who get scholarships always write and thank me, I think if Cliff is still there he will do it with his money because he is not at all opposed to education. He really likes it, "he said.

This 92-year-old man remembers that for the first time Cliff joined Metallica and returned with a royalty check of US $ 1500. Cliff invited Ray and his family to dinner at his favorite Sushi place in Hayward. Besides that, Cliff was getting more active and trying hard to buy a house for his parents.

Even though he was no longer young, Ray Burton still enjoyed the Metallica concert. According to him, Music should be entertaining and it has been done by Metallica until now. How do you think KLovers, agree with Ray Burton's opinion?

Lyrics Song All Nightmare Along - Metallica

Luck. Runs. Out.
Crawl from the wreckage one more time.
Horrific memory twists the mind.
Dark, rutted, cold and hard to turn.
Path of destruction feel it burn.

Still life... incarnation.
Still life... infamy.
Hallucination.
Heresy.
Still you run, what's to come, what's to be.

Cause we...
Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long
Feel us breathe upon your face
Feel us shift, every move we trace
Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long

Luck. Runs. Out.
You crawl back in, but your luck runs out.

Luck. Runs. Out.
The light that is not light is here
To flush you out with your own fear
You hide, you hide but will be found
Release your grip without a sound

Still life... immolation.
Still life... infamy.
Hallucination.
Heresy.
Still you run, what's to come, what's to be.

Cause we...
Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long
Feel us breathe upon your face
Feel us shift, every move we trace
Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long

Luck. Runs. Out.
You crawl back in, but your luck runs out.

Then you crawl back in,
into your obsession.
Never to return.
This is your confession.

Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long
Feel us breathe upon your face
Feel us shift, every move we trace
Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long

Luck. Runs. Out.
You crawl back in, but your luck runs out.
Your luck runs out.

What are the Slipknot masks?

      Comment   
Each Slipknot member has a different mask, all of which change with each album – some more significantly than others. We have a comprehensive list of every Slipknot mask detailing the evolution from the simple, dirty masks of the debut album to the sleeker, more ergonomic masks from the .5: The Gray Chapter era.

Shawn Crahan has always remained a clown, although sometimes more grotesque as seen with his Iowa mask. Sid has retained a gas mask look, diverting away for the Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses album with a skeletal look. Chris has always kept his long nose and Craig has maintained his lengthy spikes. Mick’s mask has always resembled a metallic hockey mask and Jim’s has continued to have an air of a joker about it. Joey’s mask was a Kabuki style and Paul’s was initially a pig but morphed into a Hannibal Lecter-esque get-up. Corey’s mask has changed over time, from a dreadlocked leatherface on Slipknot to a haunting old man figure (with detachable jaw) for the .5: The Gray Chapter.

What is the best Slipknot album?

The first three Slipknot albums are seen as the strongest (Slipknot, Iowa and Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses) and see the Nine at their creative peak, but Iowa takes the top spot for Slipknot’s best album.

In 2014, listeners of TeamRock Radio listeners voted Iowa as their number one Slipknot album, and it is the band’s only album to reach #1 in the UK album charts – although All Hope Is Gone and .5: The Gray Chapter both topped the US album charts.

Slipknot albums:

  • Slipknot (1999) 
  • Iowa (2001)
  • Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses (2004) 
  • All Hope Is Gone (2008)
  • .5: The Gray Chapter (2014)

When did Corey Taylor join Slipknot?

      Comment   
When did Corey Taylor join Slipknot?

Corey Taylor joined Slipknot in 1997 after being invited to a band practice by Joey, Shawn and Mick. He was already fronting Stone Sour at the time, but left to pursue his chance with Slipknot, returning to Stone Sour in 2002 to record their self-titled debut album.

He was buried at a private funeral on May 28 in Slipknot’s hometown of Des Moines, Iowa. Donnie Steele filled in for Paul on Slipknot’s 2011 summer tour, but Alessandro ‘V Man’ Venturella would take up the full-time role in 2014 following the release of .5: The Gray Chapter.

Who are the members of Slipknot?

      Comment

The current line-up of Slipknot is Corey Taylor on vocals, Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan and Chris Fehn on percussion, Mick Thomson and Jim Root on guitar, Alessandro ‘V Man’ Venturella on bass, Jay Weinberg on drums, Sid Wilson on turntables and Craig ‘133’ Jones on samples and keyboards.

Who were the original members of Slipknot?

The majority of the current Slipknot line-up were not original members – in fact, only Shawn Crahan remains from the early days. Formed in Iowa in 1995, Slipknot featured Anders Colsefni on vocals, Donnie Steel and Josh Brainard on guitar, Joey Jordison on drums, Clown on percussion and Paul Gray on bass.

      Comment   
Slipknot have come a long way. From the basements of Des Moines, Iowa, to the main stage at Download festival, Slipknot's journey is one of inspiration. One of the most successful metal band's of the century, and one of the few to emerge from the nu metal boom of the early noughties with their integrity in tact, the nine-man killing machine have released five albums and played to millions of fans (also known as maggots) throughout the world.
But it hasn't been easy. Iowa remains one of the darkest records of all time, owing much to the psyche and headspace the band were occupying at the time, and the band's founding member Paul Gray died in 2010.
If you're new to the world of Slipknot then welcome, but tread carefully, because here be monsters. Below, we'll answer any question you may have. Who are Slipknot? What's up with that nine-pointed star? What are their biggest songs? What is Knotfest? Let's see...
