I love their albums "Slipknot" and "Iowa", after the Iowa tour they had a long hiatus and were frankly st when they got back together. When they were doing the Iowa tour, they always said that when they couldn't maintain the intensity, or even one of them didn't have their heart in it anymore, then they'd quit. I wish they had kept their word, because Vol3 and All Hope is Gone really sullied their legacy to me.

After the reformation, they just seemed to peddle Stone Sour B sides, the cuts that Corey and Jim didn't like enough for the Stone Sour albums. The intensity was gone when they got back together, the wind well and truly gone from their sails.

A Slipknot tribute band? Blimey, that's ambitious! Not a bad effort at all, though. I like that you've made the effort to try and replicate the actual guitar and drum sounds of the band too, rather than just play the songs (which is arguably difficult enough). Just tell that other geezer in the recording to shut the hell up, please.

I always wanted to play drums in a Helmet tribute band, myself.

If I could be so bold as to throw down a challenge... I'd like to hear a slightly more technical number, as Spit It Out is not the most demanding of Slipknot tracks. Not saying you couldn't pull it off - I'd just like to hear it. wink

Ambitious indeed... !!! Bleedin' good effort.

We're not a metal band at all, but for a laugh we tried to work out Duality once, just for a one off heavier gig.. could never get the half time transition bit about 2/3 through to sound right..

Good luck with the gig on 1st Sep !!

Good effort indeed, once I'd work out that the tone death bloke singing along was actually someone in the crowd being picked up by the camera!
After I'd tuned that out it sounded great.
Slipknot are easily mocked because of the masks etc, but their brutal attack is the result of some impressive musicianship and you guys have captured that.
