Dude slipknot came out way before stone sour both are fuckin awesome slipknot are legend they are the first band to start the puke metal era and not they are jus heavy they are one of the few pure metal bands. This song is fucking amazing i wasn't expecting this by slipknot but this song is beautiful. added: 05/16/2004, 10:29 AM

I AGREE WITH BuryMeAlive. SlipkNot's new stuff is trashy, i like slipknot, but this isn't "slipknot" added: 05/16/2004, 10:40 AM

Stone Sour was Corey's old band, before Slipknot (1999). And I would not call Slipknot pure metal, even if I think it is metal and good. This is not beautiful, shit I listen to soft songs from Everlast and Filter, but Stone Sour and this song is just shite. added: 05/16/2004, 05:22 PM

the_clown_of_six

filter and everlast suck, and so do you so shut the fuck up what do you think slipknot would say to you " real slipknot fan " they would tell you to go fuck yourself because your a winey little bitch, you all fucking wanted new slipknot, they gave it to you and all you do is complain your pittiful added: 05/16/2004, 05:50 PM

MurderCapital

There is a diffrece between a 'fan' and a 'suck up follower' - I don't like everything Slipknot does just because it's Slipknot, same thing with all bands I like... Yes I wanted a new Slipknot album, but not a Stone Sour one under cover... added: 05/16/2004, 06:05 PM

the_clown_of_six

the only reason you keep saying its like Stone Sour os because corey sings more, if you listen to the actual music its the same as before, they even have some kick ass solos in some songs, big deal corey sings more in the album all i can say is if i had a voice like that hell yah i would be singing alot more often aswell, corey in my opinion os one of the best sings out there and so what if he wants to show off his talents a little bit, hes doing a good job so just let it be added: 05/16/2004, 06:57 PM

Very cool song! Appearently I love the acoustic slipknot! But like the clown says they didn't changed so fucking much as all you guys here say. Listen to songs like Tree nill and Pulse... Could be right off the album Slipknot! added: 05/20/2004, 08:24 PM

DeftonesChick

Hell fucking NO! New Slipknot fucking sux...they are a bunch of sellouts now...they better not even fucking play that shit at ozzfest...or i'll fucking kill!! added: 05/21/2004, 12:07 AM

Msi_Surreal

Well for those of you that live in a world seen from behind the mirror let me explain this. This is not a new Slipknot its just a new apporach to the same materials they covered before(anybody remeber purity?) They are giving it a more acoustic sound to accent the lyrics which makes this song and the other 2 sound damn good. I have said this before and I will again I am proud to be a fucking maggot! If you don't like the new sound I have a simple soultion take the 10-15 dollars and go get yourself a Britney Spears cd. added: 05/22/2004, 05:46 AM

MurderCapital

Sad enough, this song is just a little step up from a Britney Spears song... added: 05/22/2004, 08:37 AM

why do ppl have to bitch about them selling out..etc. they are taking an approach to make better quality music that most ppl will listen do. they r still slipknot whether they play. if u dont respect it. then dont call yourself a maggot added: 05/23/2004, 07:03 PM

4ma	at least DeftonesChick knows what shez talkin about ...... added: 05/24/2004, 12:50 PM

StigmurderCAD

They didnt sell out. They're just evolving. EVERY band has to evolve, or it just sounds boring and repetitive, if you dont understand that, then you really have no buisness talking shit. I'd rather listen to something new, and something different then listening to the same shit over and over, and I think alot of other people feel the same way too. I know people are entitled to ur own opinions, but you probably should know what the hell you're talking about first before you start saying whatever you feel like. added: 05/25/2004, 10:50 AM

Oh, and by the way, this song is pretty good. added: 05/25/2004, 10:51 AM

Slipknot is now coming around. Not that they were not good before but they are seeing more than one way (which some of you fail to) I am a fan of all music but this song alone goes into my top 5 now. I find nothing wrong with it and Slipknot, and I think they made the right move, the broadend there minds as well as their more respectful listeners. I can't wait to hear more just like this. added: 05/26/2004, 07:06 PM

Stone Sour got big, so now Corey Taylor is incorporating some of their style into Slipknot in hopes it will work again. added: 05/26/2004, 10:22 PM

Bill Dance

Poopstick, that statement is just retarded. Slipknot is way bigger than Stone Sour, so why would he incorporate Stone Sour into Slipknot? They are two different bands. Sure they can sound the same but maybe that's just because THEY HAVE THE SAME SINGER. Holy shit people, quit bitching. New Slipknot is here, as said before, all you fuckers bitched and moaned and waited for it, so here it is. Contrary to popular belief, SLIPKNOT ISN'T GOING TO PUT OUT THE SAME ALBUM 3 TIMES. Yes this is different, but it still sounds like Slipknot. OH MY GOD! an accoustic song and violins? Half of you faggots listen to Metallica S&M so shut the fuck up. This song is awesome shows you how diverse Slipknot can be. The new stuff is just as good as the old stuff, dare I even say better? And if you really care this much about how Slipknot sounds now, if you really are dissapointed after waiting for newer material; maybe you should get a life. Grow up, big deal, this song owns. added: 05/31/2004, 11:19 PM

and to Myownsummer, this may be true..and I hate to say it. but slipknot might be over..but please dont say "and its their last CD..." untill we're absoluetly positive..Corey Taylor and the rest of the band have ALLUDED to breaking up, as have many bands but please..dont go calling it their "Last Album" untill it is proven to be so.. added: 06/01/2004, 10:49 PM

damn nothing, you nailed my thoughts right on the head. this is a great song. added: 06/02/2004, 03:36 AM

Skatterbone

the only thing i disagree with is that ( i know theyre not going to do it on stage ) but if they sang this song on stage it WOULD NOT work because of their masks...i love this song but honestly cant picture 9 people is scary ass masks behind this song...but anyway yeah SLIPKNOT FUCKING RULES! added: 06/03/2004, 11:32 AM

Haha, some people should relax. By the way, the song sucks. added: 06/04/2004, 01:07 AM

First time I heard this song I was surprised it was Slipknot. You don't hear stuff like this coming from them. This is more the Stone Sour side of Taylor, but very very good none the less. added: 06/09/2004, 09:04 AM

all u fukkers that say slipknot sold out need 2 get a fukkin life!!!! they didnt sell out all theyve done is evolve!!! and the thing that pisses me off the most is if they released another album like Slipknot all u dikheads wood b complaining that its exactly the same and they need to diverse a bit!!! fuk u all! added: 06/13/2004, 10:42 PM

destroyer666

this song seriously helps me through shit...including this whole album as well...they have greatly influenced me wit this album...i love how they have changed their style a bit...still their same old approach...but also a different approach at the same time...i think the Knot has done it again and brought out a great album for all the maggots out there and if you think jus because they have done some acoustic stuff and lightened the tone that they have sold out then u seriously needta jus stop listening to music...a fan listens to the music...they don't jus liosten to a band cuz they think it is cool so if u really LISTEN to the music then u would undertsand...so to all who actually listen to the music keep on rockin...to al who think the Knot has sold out and are worthless FUCK YOU added: 06/20/2004, 01:02 PM

pulsating_heart

yeah, I agree with you destroyer. most people don't even know the definition of "sell out" to "sell out" is to change your ways cuz of what other people want/say. nobody told them to change and have acoustic stuff, they did it cuz they thought it'd be cool and it sure as hell is. added: 06/21/2004, 08:41 PM

Lithium1983

Strangely enough, this song makes me think of Lord of the Rings(no, not the movie, the books, get educated). Especially the prequel The Hobbit. That's just the music, though, not the lyrics. Anyway, I guess I'm in the minority that thinks this is one of the top three songs on the album. I was afraid that if Slipknot every did something a little soft, it'd end up sounding like Stone Sour. But the percussion section just doesn't let that happen. Tricky song to decipher too. Really well written. added: 09/23/2004, 09:28 AM

Anyone calling this a Seel out is an Un-Educated f*ck. If you dont like this song you dont like real music. The lyrics are so emotionally drivin and real it is rediculous... Ok he doesnt scream it but it hink its because he wants you to HEAR what hes saying... Its called EVOLUTION OF SOUND AND MUSIC .... NOT SELLING OUT... added: 11/13/2004, 11:04 AM

ShredForDimebag

this is for all you fuckers who think slipknot are selling out. for a band to sell out, it takes their fans to do it. By buying the album or the merchandise or the gig tickets, youre helping them to sell out. so anybody who says that slipknot are selling out can go fuck themselves because youre doing the same thing! slipknot have changed their sound. they have done what any band must do in order to keep the attention of their fans and to make sure that their music doesnt get stale and boring. its called progressing, not selling out added: 11/17/2004, 08:12 AM

ShredForDimebag

if you need more explanation into this concept, listen to Hooker With A Penis by the awesome Tool, because it explains the idea of selling out pretty well. oh and joebob youre a fucking dumbass cos your comment on HWAP contradicts what youve said about slipknot. fucking poser... added: 11/17/2004, 08:21 AM
