Slipknot acoustics?

[apsham]

I was just wondering if they have any songs on acoustic other than Vermillion Pt. 2, because I think Corey has a rather good voice when he's not yelling his lungs out.

[Summers]

Check out some Stone Sour - specifically Bother (although it's a solo effort, really) as it really shows off his voice.

[apsham]

I remember Bother, I downloaded it a few minutes ago... but thanks for reminding me about Stone Sour.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

Circle is also acoustic and is off Vol 3. Apart from that all I can say is also check out Stone Sour, especially Orchids, Inhale and Bother as he really uses his voice well in those tracks.

EDIT: TAFKA knew it.

Going to be insanely difficult to find it, but Corey did an awesome version of Bother a few years ago at Birmingham Academy. It was great because about halfway through he went into Metallica's "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)." Like I said though, you'd be hard-pressed to find it online.

[Summers]

I was upset I missed that, my friend told me about it.

[apsham]

I am downloading a version live on Leno, we'll see how that goes.

Getting stuff at Subculture is hard, let alone at gigs at the academy. Some kid stole a shirt right out my hand at Subs once. It was free, and I got it first. Elviss ALWAYS suck dick. Murderdolls were good when I saw them. Never managed to catch Stone Sour, though.

[apsham]

The video of him on Leno is under 50 megs, so I think we all know where the video will be going in a little bit. Then y'all can tell me if it's as good as this one you're talking about.

[Summers]

I think my sig knows.

[apsham]

Get it while it's hot.

I went to see Stone Sour with i-def-i and Saliva in Birmingham, and his version of Bother fucking rocked. Mainly because he kept stopping to chuckle, which was quite endeering.

[ravenjuice]

Yeah he did that at Rock City too, was undoubtedly the best song of the night, some of the other stuff on Vol 3 has better voice work on, namely Vermillion part 1, but the whole albums a lot more melodic in terms of Coreys voice.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

I went to the same gig Dragsy, I missed out on part of Murderdolls though and met Josh Rand in McDonalds instead. Awesome gig, and yeah Corey going into Sanitarium was awesome. Elviss did suck dick.

[apsham]

So I just saw the video for Vermillion Pt. 2.

What. the. hell.

[damhausen]

This isn't really related, but since the topic is about Slipknot I figure I'd post it here.

My school has this yearly Literary Art magazine where people submit pictures and poetry to have them published. Well this one kid submitted 3 different poems, I forget the names of the first two poems I saw in it, but the third stuck out at me a little. It was titled "Vermillion". I assumed just a coincidence, but then upon further examination I saw this:

She is everything to me

The unrequieted dream

the song that no one sings

The unattainable.

Now, I haven't really listened to Slipknot in years, and since this was off their newest album if I recall I hadn't really heard it. However, I knew I heard those words somewhere in a song, then I remembered Slipknot's "Vermillion" was one of their more famous songs and so I got on the internet and looked up lyrics. Other people noticed too and noticed his other 2 poems were also songs. They had to recall the books a few days later after realizing that he had, in fact, plagiarized.

And to help with your question, my friend Kevin is the world's biggest Stone Sour fan and "Bother" is practically his favorite song. I know it's been mentioned, but check that song out live as there are some great performances of it.

[apsham]

While this is open, I might as well ask why Slipknot has changed to the fake face stuff instead of their masks.

[Summers]

They still wear the masks.

[apsham]

Oh? I saw them perform Vermillion live and they were all wearing this... grey stuff on their faces.

[Summers]

Yeah, I know. I think they do something similar for Before I Forget, I'm unsure. But I know that they still wear the masks, seeing that I saw them at Download in June.

[ravenjuice]

Probable answer is that theyre maturing as people, hence not liking the masks, playing without them for vermillion live, and not wearing them at all in the before i forget vid.

At download they had the masks for Before i Forget, but had the greed out faces for vermillion.

[Summers]

They were mature before, they're not exactly a bunch of young bucks. Corey and Jim have been maskless on stage/in videos etc many times now, same as Joey. People know what they look like, so it's no longer much of a mystery.
