I've heard of Slipknot but never heard their music... I've never heard of Mushroomhead.
Are these bands popular?
Ahhh, just checked out the mushroomhead site.
They are one of those gimmick/mask band as well, huh?

Gwar?

Yeah, that's the one.
They were fun for a little while but the life expectancy of most gimmick bands popularity is low.
Found a few samples of some Slipknot tracks and eventhough it's not my style, it's not half bad. They should probably lose the gimmick. Their music could stand on it's own merit.

i think Gwar still makes music...they're not the kind of band that will only survive if they have a hit or go platinum...there fans will keep them making music and i think they still have those too.

GWAR is fun

I see Gwar listed as playing at a couple of the bars/clubs here in Austin once in a while. I had the chance to watch them while working as a techie at one club several years back, and it was fun more than anything else.

I got a chance to spend a few hours on their tourbus a 6 or so years ago after helping break down their equip after a gig. Interesting people, that is for damn sure. 22 of them including their "slaves"--all basically living on the bus that has an I 
GWAR license plate.
Also, they are fond of Sam Adams, Meth, and Prozac.
I think I still have a tshirt stained in fake blood with a pen drawing of a penis and signed "Love Oderus" on it. I don't remember asking for an autograph, but it is pretty damn funny

Slipknot hands down.. Miir Corey Taylor (Lead singer of Slipknot) has a side project called Stone Sour. Check them out too.

Doubt I'll take you up on that suggestion.Soreali wrote:Slipknot hands down.. Miir Corey Taylor (Lead singer of Slipknot) has a side project called Stone Sour. Check them out too.
While they are pretty interesting musically, I don't care for the lyrics and vocals. I'm not into the aggresive, violent angst thing. I prefer my music a little more understated.

speaking of being able to understand the lyrics...
I actually picked up the new Marilyn Manson CD since it was only something like 8.99. It's actually much better than most of his earlier music. From what I understand, he actually wrote most of this album which he hasn't done before by himself. Most of the songs are slower, and not as "filled with noise" as previous albums.

Yea, Stonesour is pretty good too. Most people have probably only heard "Bother" and think they're like the Wallflowers or something, but actually Stonesour is a li'l harder than Slipknot I would say.
