No new Slipknot album 'til 2008
- Artists:
- Slipknot »
Popular nu-metallers - are they nu-metal? Probably not actually... - Slipknot have announced that they've no intention to release a new album until 2008.
That's literally some months away.
The band's Shawn Crahan, the one that wears a clown mask, told MTV:
"I don't think a lot of people understand this, but we're not a normal band. We are the kind of band that - because of its magnitude, it's nine people - believes in taking time off between conceptual cycles. So, we just got done with a three-and-a-half-year thing, and we played over 240 shows in 34 countries, and now, we get a break from each other - a spiritual, mental, physical break. And when we get back together, it's business, man.
"We're all alive today, so things are good. Do we want to get together and make a fourth record? Why wouldn't we?"
Why wouldn't you indeed, albeit not for a while. Still, Crahan did confirm that the band were at least working on new songs, but that they won't begin recording until the middle of 2007.

Slipknot
i've been moaning about this recently
stone sour takes precedence cos it's got more legs so they won't be back touring til summer 08
fucking annoying
Slipknot...
...are rubbish.
they aren't that bad
I always wondered why they appeal to Kiddies though.
Did they really need to announce this?
Since loads of bands do it and never make a point of mentioning it i.e Hot Hot Heat
Oh, and the All-American Rejects are taking a year out. Boo hoo.
Let's just hope
they all get kidnapped by Islamic terrorists and taken to Iraq as hostages.
I'd pay the terrorists to keep them.
They seem to
be getting better and better with each album.
Next one should be pretty good.
Having said that, I don't actually own a Slipknot album, which lessens my theory somewhat...
I'm not a fan
of the debut or Iowa, but Subliminal Verses was a damn fine record!
no...
you're wrong, come on....
Let's think about it objectively.
Just because it has melodic sections doesn't mean you should be wow-ed just because it's Slipknot doing it, the melodic sections are terrible.
DOOOOONT GO (I NEVER WANTED ANYBODY MOOOOOOORE THAN I WANTED YOU)
see what I mean?
The only good slipknot song is "me inside".
...
Nah, the theory holds... from someone who's got them all, they really are getting better with each album.
absolutely.
i think they should stick with the ace/fun insanely entertaining cartoon metal routine, their melodic sections (if that is indeed what everyone is taking to denote their improvement) are embarassing.
