Going to see Devin in Dublin in three nights time!! Im just hearing these old demos for the first time- Jesus, this stuff is awesome- brilliant. This is like a hyper hybrid of Janes Addiction - and Pantera. Fucking fantastic. Elastic,jumpin' Janes Addiction verses- with Dimebag Darrell showing up outta nowhere to tear the solo a new arsehole. Super sweeps,harmonics,and funked out riffage. Love it.
i cant believe people are actually tryin to compare slipknot with devin townsend..... blows my mind... you sick fucks.... devin blows away the competition. devin is a walking song writing machine lol. its a nobrainer who the better artist is here... because it IS about art... isnt it? not glory....... for some at least...
That's not what I said, I'll give you a few days to realize what I said.
Just because I'm comparing two artists doesn't mean I'm saying they're on the same line. All I said was that it reminded me a bit of the old Stone Sour. l2read sir.
... I disagree. Corey Taylor is not all that amazing. Slipknot was never all that great and eventually got caught up in this new wave of pop rock type music. Stone Sour is just an extension of that. Their music sounds like something Papa Roach or Mudvayne would do.
The fuck's with Gene's thumbnails at 0:55? God damn, that's disgusting...

Is that Gene Hoglan doing the Titanic thing with Devy? Because that has to be the most badass picture ever taken.

Well, he IS the godfather of the genre, but it isn't even the same as slipknot's.
Try Static-X instead if you really must compare to something newagey....
