Why does it seems like alot of people hate slipknot?

Question

they are such a good band. and everytime i put an answer that has slipknot in it i get thumbs down.

Answer 1

Because they sound like somebody choking on a hairball.

Answer 2

not everyone hates them, maybe that's just not a lot of people's musical interest.

Answer 3

everyone has different taste in music, and they are to closed to accept other kinds of music.  I love slipknot, but i like most kinds of rock, and i'm one of the few that consider metal as a type of rock.  I also get a lot of thumbs down when i put some of my favorite bands.  I know how to apriciate music even if i don't like it i try my best to find something good about it.  Most people don't know how to apriciate music and thats why they go making bad comments about everything that they don't like.  

Answer 4

i know plenty of people who like slipknot. i used to, but they were just too dark for me after a while. People just like what they like.

Answer 5

A lot of metal fans don't like Slipknot because they are giving people the wrong impression of metal. Metal is stuff like HammerFall, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, whatever. Slipknot also tries to be "extreme" I don't listen to extreme metal, but I know that Slipknot is not truly "extreme metal"  If they were, they would be completely underground, like Mayhem and Gorgoroth, not something that everyone listens to.

I don't personally like Slipknot, but I don't want to bash them. Listen to whatever you want. I just think that they sort of "blot out" lots of other great metal bands that people should listen to.

Answer 6

dude i no! everyone always gives me a thumbs down when i bring them up.

i think there all just jealous...

Answer 7

A lot of people do hate slipknot.

Not everyone thinks they're good.

Answer 8

They sound like a mess. 9 Band members.  That IS a mess.

Answer 9

Well, they really aren't my thing, but if it makes ya feel any better, I got 6 TD's for an anti-Slipknot answer just a few minutes ago!

Answer 10

there are alot more bands out there plus slipknot is not the best band

Answer 11

People say that their going downhill..but they are still liked by me.

Answer 12

They aren't a good band, THEY AREN'T DEATH METAL, to loser above me. They aren't dark, they aren't hardcore. Get over yourselves. OMG i wear masks that makes us br00t4l black metal. We're so blasphemous. God hates us.

That is why we hate them. They're posers.

Answer 13

They're really not that good. Not eve tolerable actually. Their music appeals to the people who have a limited understanding of music and accepts whatever is put onto MTV. People would understand this if they reasearched more about music and branched out of what the medis says is good.

Answer 14

People dont like them because they scream. Its hardcore and a lot of people just cant appreciate the loud music. THey cant even understand the words. Im sure if many of them new the words they would like them. Take my bf for example, I sang him one of their songs and he thought it was tight and asked me who they were, I told him slipknot and he got totally disgusted. Some people just dont get it.. BUt i love them =]

Answer 15

I think its their image. the costumes r a little overwhelming. and their lyrics r dark. but who actually takes them seriously? I personally think they r a good band. I just watched a debate thing on fuse where they said that a kid wearing a slipknot mask killed someone with a sword. and the public blamed slipknot for brainwashing him into doing it! the kid is just disturbed! y would u blame a band for writing their music the way they want to? art doesn't MAKE people do things. neither does death metal. so I think thats y people don't like slipknot. they r just to intense for people to handle

Answer 16

holy c**p man slipknot is beast where i live slipknot owns! which is weird because i live in Atlanta slipknot is awesome

Answer 17

Well not everyone is gonna like the same band us the other.

I for one do love Slipknot's music... most of it anyways.

Answer 18

They arent brutal, or heavy at all. Theyre posers. Its only coz of the way they look that people think theyre heavy and satanic.

Theyre almost p**s rock.

Answer 19

I don't know, but I like ém! =)
