People can say what they want, but it's amazing what they've done in terms of popularity considering their earlier music and imagery. Iowa being a Platinum selling album is just crazy.

u/HadesWTF 6d ago

Especially crazy given that Iowa is a relatively pretty heavy album.

u/tequilasauer 6d ago

Yep. The album with Disasterpiece and People = Shit on it is a platinum seller.

u/BadDub 6d ago

As it should

Trent Reznor won a Grammy for a song that included the lyrics "fist fuck", so anything is possible!

Lol, that's tame as hell compared to the very first line in Disasterpiece

Yeah but "Disasterpiece" wasn't released as a single to promote the album nor was the song itself nominated for any awards. In fact the songs they did release as singles for the album were fairly melodic and had catchy clean sung choruses. And even for one of them, they still felt the need to absolutely butcher it for radio play

Trent Reznor is a musical genius...

Slipknot has a band member that bangs on trashcan lids....

u/jacknifetoaswan 5d ago

If you think Trent Reznor, in an industrial band hasn't banged on a trashcan lid for industrial sounds, I don't know what to tell you.

Fair, but I don't think trashcan lid banger is asked to breakdown his music by GQ. [Worth the watch, btw.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BqJNEV9QVE)

Dude, I was just fucking around with my original comment. Everyone takes everything so personal. Had no idea Clown #6 was such an important artist to all you people. My bad. He is in the same stratosphere as Nine Inch Nails.

I have. I see the light now. Slipknot is so much better than Trent Reznor.

Trent Reznor was inspired by Gary Numan and Throbbing Gristle. Trashcan lids are part of the legacy.

Actually, it's an aluminum baseball on a beer keg. And they have 2 members who do that. (Or had.)

Cheers, mate

u/Jazzremix 6d ago

It's such a fuckin banger from start to finish. The drums on Disasterpiece are just incredible.

u/Nathmikt 6d ago

Joey Jordison didn't mess around!

u/Juxta25 5d ago

So hard to believe it has been 4 years since he frigging died, man. Only 46. That live drum solo with the kit going upside down is just insane.

u/Forcistus 5d ago

And I would say those aren't even the heaviest. Metabolic and Iowa are such powerful endings.
