Slipknot is a nu-metal band, which is closer to rock then metal.

And I personally have a strong dislike for them.

Nu Metal is derived more from rock elements than metal elements, so I'd say it's closer to rock than metal, even though a lot of it is also influenced by heavy metal.

Some of their songs are good enough to listen to, some of their songs are really bad IMO, it just depends. But Before I Forget is one of their better songs.

Nu-metal isn't influenced by metal at all. It just wishes it was "harder", so they up their image to be "dark" and add unnecessary distortion that makes the entire thing pretty sickening.

Heavier than rock, but not quite metal.

I listen to a few of their songs here or there.

stop f*cking arguing over their genre. slipknot is slipknot. you can't group them with other bands. they're their own genre.

i love all slipknot songs

Sorry for the delay folks.
This band is more rock than heavy metal so this thread is being moved to the rock sub-forum.
Thanks.

I agree. They are of their own class.

And may Paul rest in piece... He is surly going to be missed.

Saying they're have their own genre is just ignorant. Not to be rude or anything, but they clearly fall into the genre nu-metal.
