Lamb Of God Vs. Slipknot

[Samuraid]

While I'm not a fan of the genre, Lamb of God definitely wins the contest.

How can you possibly compare anything up against BEER????

Just on those 4 tracks alone I think SlipKnot is a helluva lot better then Lamb of God.

Most people these days hate SlipKnot because it is 'cool' to hate SlipKnot when just 5 or 6 years ago the vast majority of people loved 'em.

And why do so many people make a big deal of them wearing masks anyway? They weren't the first band to do it and for their live shows the masks work brilliantly. They are just awesome live.

Too many biased opinions here. Music isn't based solely off a guy screaming into a microphone. If their music is so horrible, why don't you pick up a guitar and play like the guitarist? or how about grab some sticks and start hitting a drum like their drummer? This goes for both bands, and they're both good in their own ways. This isn't "do you like rock or do you like britney spears" its Lamb of God Vs Slipknot. I'd say, if you don't like either, don't post. That one post count won't kill you.

Well, judging from all of the music I've heard from Slipknot, and it is a lot, I can play guitar, bass, and drums better. Sure, they may be talented musicians in their own right, but their music definitely doesn't reflect it.

Does my opinion count now?

WTF? Why doesn't this post look anything like your other posts?

You know...

I am looking at it myself...

And I have no idea!

Just be happy that it's a straight up answer with no 3rd person speaking. Oh and for one of the first times ever, I agree with Devil Man.

[NorthernChaosGod]

I actually like his posts with him talking in 3rd person.

Neither, both of them give me huge smurfing headaches.

Beer does that to me too, but I love it.

As for the topic, I'd go with old school slipknot, although I haven't listened to much metal lately, but I do think LoG is more skilled.

So your telling me that you never heard a song before and thought to yourself "Wow, this is really bad"? Bull.

It doesn't matter if I can play their music or not. Why would I listen to this crap when I can listen to much better bands (and I like screaming bands).

And I never said they were talentless. I just don't like how they sound. There are many other screaming or metal bands that do what they do but 100X better.

You missed my point bud. Most of you are like "Slipknot sucks and LoG sucks." and yet they're actually quite skilled musicians. I wasn't referring to you liking them or not, that itself would be biased, which I claimed most of the people in this thread to be, so why would I do it myself.

You can't possibly say a band is complete trash when they're skilled, if anything, you simply don't like their music, but saying they completely suck is just over the edge, and quite immature, or as I put it before, biased.

To YOU there is better bands, yet to others, the better bands are LOG or slipknot, or both, but you can't force your opinion on them.

Anyone who thinks Slipknot and Lamb of God are good bands needs new musical taste.

Thats like saying whoever likes RPG's needs a new gaming genre taste from a FPS type player. Just because you don't like it, doesn't give you the right to tell others they're wrong, or they "need a new taste". Simply don't listen to it, and move on.

Or perhaps, I can try and help people listen to better music? Music DOES have the ability to be objectively judged ya know.

What bothers me about people liking these bands is that they are not even forming their own tastes truely. They are taking what the media feeds them and saying "This <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> rules, best music ever" when they could easily scratch away some dust from the surface and see the sparkles of bands such as Bolt Thrower and Overcast.

The problem is, not with the person liking the band, but the fact that they listen to the band because they don't know anything else and because that is what is popular and therefore easy to listen to.

Music is an artform that demands respect, and simply letting the money hungry radio and music television networks feed you what they want you to hear is a gross disrespect to the artform that music is.

Here's a little hint as to who I voted for:

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant; "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven." Such is the rule of HONOR.
