I bought this shirt when Slipknot was still one of my favorites. They still kinda are but with "All Hope is Gone" they kinda dropped of my radar. The Cd is their first studio album
Fuck each and every one of you guys!
I don't like slipknot, or most bands like them...
But who are you guys to decide what should be allowed?
How about you guys upload something better or shut the fuck up!
To the original poster:
Do whatever you feel like!
Despite what these guys would lead you to believe, conformity is NOT metal!
Originally, we thought it shouldn't be here for the fact that Slipknot isn't metal.
We just simply believed Only metal should be allowed. So calm down.
I know this is a bit late for a reply, but slipknot is not too good for anyone. And you don't like thrash or black metal? Well, that's OK, but at least shirts like that belong here since they're metal, which slipknot most definitely ain't.
Surely the issue is not whether or not the 'Knot are metal, its wheteher this shirt is any good or (K)not.
And it isn't. Its a poor design. In fact I don't think I've seen a Slipknot tshirt i actually like ever, regardless of what i think of their music. They kind of remind me of WWE shirts more than metal shirts for some reason.....
I've already stated my opinion. Slipknot IS metal, their second album (which is wrongly listed as their first in the pic), is definitely nu-metal (which I consider a branch of metal anyway, but if the metal nazis want their genre aryan and pure, fine) but their last two are quite unmistakably metal.
As for the shirt itself, I also think it's very mediocre, I don't like pictures of the band much, very few of those are cool but what I really want to comment on, is that I see that most members voted on this shirt. Which is quite telling, considering that most people felt the need to vote negatively while most of the times don't bother to vote on cool shit. If it's Slipknot, great, all over it to defend metal purity. A cool Slayer shirt, why bother, right?
dungeonvic i think we were separated at birth i think the same thing. heres the whole thing in a nutshell if i hate a band i dont talk about them cause any publicity is good publicity. i would rather not talk about a band i hate and hope they fucking go away. having said that i am not a slipknot fan but their shirts deserve to be seen here just as much as any other shirts. i only really buy vintage shirts but u dont see me bashing people who buy reprints because its not my place and a lot of time reprints or bootleg shirts look better. this is a place for reprints and vintage and all forms of metal
Different age groups means different types of metal fans. Whether it's Thrash,Death Metal,Hardcore,or even nu-metal we all have or own likes and dislikes when it comes to metal. That's what I love about this site.
I don't like Slipknot at all but I don't know what you guys are on about, Slipknot definitely are metal.
They're commercial and a ton of scenesters love them, but they're still a metal band.
Saying things like "Slipknot aren't metal" just removes some of the credibility of future statements.
Why do people get mad when someone votes negative or talks shit about postings? People should be able to dislike something. Thats why people put their shit on tshirtslayer, so others can see. And if it's slipknot, then of course it will be hated. At least the owner of this entry didnt bitch about their slipknot shirt being disliked, like some of the other crybabies. Slipknot will be tolerated on tshirtslayer, but never liked, that should go without saying.
Nice shirt. Not too big of a Slipknot fan anymore though, but I consider them a metal band since I know they're miles away from Limp Bizkit or Linkin Park.
If i'm honest, Slipknot is the band that introduced me into Heavy Metal, so i can't exactly complain. But i think most people 'grow out' of that phase ;)
I stand in the same position as you, Being introduced into metal/rock the first bands i listened to were bullet for my valentine, slipknot, linkin park etc. But shorty you grow out of it and move to Thrash
There is a lot of mindless and "being cool"
hate on here.
In the end of the day Tshirt slayer is a metal website
And Slipknot are Nu-metal band.
As far as i can see,
there isn't any rules on what metal or types of metal bands you can upload on here.
In fact i've seen a lot of people uploading Jimi Hendrix merch and things like that on there,
that's not metal so what is the actual point here?
i do not know what to call "SLIPKNOT" but being a hard core "old schooler" i do not consider them metal. they just don't fit into the genre comfortably.
I've already said,
Nu-metal is what I'd originally put them in.
But they are an experimental band so things have changed since every album.
And yes i agree it is not my usual preferred tastes either,
But i did enjoy the demo they first released.
We all love Maiden and they haven't put out a good album in 28 years.The big four were "mall Metal",Priest is on American idol,etc..We all have liked some commercial shit at sometime, I don't like SK either but people hate on metal that has an American sensability and sound to it an awful lot, I think the Metal Police on here think to be a good band your time signature has to be askew from traditional rock and you have to have no back beat or song structure, and all the euro brothers on here know Metal is pretty Mainstream in your part of the world.

Clicking on Slipknot, I presumed there was going to be tee's or patched jackets with the thrash band, not the trick-or-treaters from Iowa.

I'm surprised someone here knows about that Crossover band.
so do i. never actually listened to them though.
