Slipknot: Difference between revisions

'''<big>Discography</big>:'''

* 1996 - '''''Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.''''' (E.P)

** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1zCN0YhW1s Wait and Bleed]"

** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPUZwriSX4M Spit It Out]"

** Gray's later mask was styled around ''[[The Man in The Iron Mask]]''.

** Fehn's might be a reference to Alex of ''[[A Clockwork Orange (Film)|A Clockwork Orange]]'' during the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faML0QvVb2A#t=1m04s rape scene]<ref>[[Not Safe for Work|Just safe enough for work]]</ref>.

* [[Someone to Remember Him By]]: Paul Gray's wife was a few months pregnant with his child. [[Tear Jerker|You can tear up now]].

* [[Special Guest]]: They make an appearance in the 2002 remake of ''Rollerball'' and are playable characters in the [[PSP]] shooter, ''Infected''. This is a game about mowing down hordes of zombies. ''[[Rule of Cool|As Slipknot]]''.

* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: ...sort of. All of Jones' masks have had long spikes as part of their theme.

* [[Stage Names]]: Each member has several.

* [[Angrish]]: Not a completely straight example, but the sheer rage present in some of the songs can cause Taylor to mumble or become incomprehensible. Can overlap with [[Careful With That Axe]].

* [[Anti Love Song]]: "Snuff" from ''All Hope Is Gone''.

* [[Everything Is an Instrument]]: Crahan + baseball bat + beer keg = [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1mTcLTMBGg instant percussion]. Also, in one scene in the 10th anniversary DVD, Crahan is shown walking down a hallway dropping a metal pipe on the floor in a rhythmic pattern.

* [[Evil Laugh]]: ...near the end of "[sic]".

* [[Fandom Nod]]: "Pulse of the Maggots".

* [[Heavy Mithril]]: Occasionally.

{{quote| "'''I AM THE GREAT BIG MOUTH!!!'''"}}

* [[Loudness War]]: ''The Subliminal Verses''.

* [[Metal Scream]]

* [[Purple Prose]]/[[Meaningless Meaningful Words]]: Throughout the band's body of work, you'll sometimes find unusual lyrical choices placed awkwardly in the middle of a song otherwise made up of simpler language, almost as if Corey Taylor [[Author Vocabulary Calendar|skimmed through a dictionary, found a word he liked and decided to incorporate it into the song somehow]].

** Taylor acknowledges and confronts this in the Stone Sour song, "Freeze Dry Seal", admitting that while he may not be a flowery poet, that doesn't make his lyrics (and his beliefs) any less real. [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]] at its best.

* [[Spoken Word in Music]]

* [[Surprisingly Gentle Song]]: [[Obsession Song]] or not, "Vermillion Pt. 2" is a very slow and gentle track that those more familiar with the band's nu-metal side and aggressive reputation would not have expected.<ref>In fact, it's the song that inspired the trope.</ref> Also, "Circle" and "Snuff".

* [[Performance Video]]: "Wait and Bleed" (live version), "Spit It Out", "Left Behind", "Duality", "Before I Forget", "Psychosocial", "Sulfur"

* [[Shout Out]]: "Spit It Out", to ''[[The Shining]]''.
