lol? just because there lyrics you can understand better than most death\black metal is no reason to hate them on that, if your gonna hate them on there insturmental skills or songs themselves.
anyways yes both suck yadda yadda but slipknot is better only because they are better insturmentally and there drummer is pretty good.
The music does not sound good nor does it have a message.I honestly don't know why there are so many people bashing these two bands. Slipknot has a triple platinum album, as with more double platinums and etc, and I am not sure, but last time I checked that is not too common.
Does albums sold = music talent? Well, that is up for you to decide.
Both of the bands have a huge audience, and I know I greatly enjoy listening to them. Slipknot more or less when I am pissed off, going fast, or lifting. My bad if Dave Matthews band does not get my blood moving and get me motivated.
So yeah, it's 6:00 am when I am writing this, so it is probably not too clear or my thoughts organized, but hopefully my point got across.
There is a time and a place for just about all music, and Slipknot / Korn has theirs.

The first is Slipknot's Before I Forget, the second is Korn's Ya'll Wanna Single.
I dare anyone that likes metal to say the music does not sound good nor does it have a message.
Well, if you do not like it, then that is your opinion, and as for me, I do like it, and that is my opinion.
You don't have to say it sucks (sounds like crap), you can simply say you don't appreciate it.
No reason for flaming here.
I hate them for instrumental skills as well. I don't think you got my point. I listen to a lot of music where you can hear what they sing, but the difference is that they CAN sing unlike nu-metal acts. They all have horrible vocals.
I only like about 6 of Slipknot songs, but I like none of Korn's, so I'm going with Slipknot. And Slipknot would suck if they still had Colsefini on lead vocals; Corey Taylor is a good singer. And if you don't want to listen to Corey taylor scream then you should listen to Stone Sour, he sings for that band and they're alternative rock.
I'd say that Slipknot's best song, in my opinion, is The Blister Exists or Opium of the People, it's a hard decision.
I see. I know you mainly like death metal and the way you were sounding it sounded like you didn't like them because they werent as hard as them.
