cerberus21 Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Metalheads have always been cursed. Our music comes from Hell (according to Tenacious D), so we have to suffer some sort of reprecussion, I guess. That said, I don't really like Slipknot at all. Dio's death affected me a lot more than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonStar Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Metalheads have to die because EVERYONE has to die. Or do you think some people are immune against death?And meh, Slipknot don't really count for Metal to me and I don't know much about the band, not even the names of the members.

Lord Metallium Posted May 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 All im saying is that the current deaths belongs to wrong artist i mean why just why i understand that people hate us just because they think that we are satanists and you know there wrong not all of us are like that SO ITS JUST UNFAIR that these news comes very often, then what happens next another one could HIM Or one of hammerfall or even your favorite band one menber could die next THAT MEANS SOMEONE OR SOMETHING SPIRITUALLY WANTS US DEAD so WTF is going on that pisses me of. We metalheads are alone from society so why we pay the price ALL OF YOU KNOW very well the ones that should DIE are the gansters and criminals. GODDAMMIT those this mean we could be facing extinction. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmc1234 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 You beat me to the thread. I love slipknot and have for a long time and for this to happen really sucks. Metal is losing some people. Dio and now Paul. :(. Slipknot was a good band and a great metal band. if you liked slipknot or not they were a successful metal band and losing their bassist is sad for the band, their fans and really for metal. Even if my thoughts are stupid to some, death is something thats sad and when it happens to a band that you like and influences you or a genre its especially sad. EDIT:i think he died of a drug overdose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baragon Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Just as many "regular" artists and band members die every year, if not more, then "metal artists". Stop trying to put your moral sense of justice into something simple and factual. No one spiritually wants them dead, Dio had cancer from smoking too many damn joints when he was younger, it's his own fault. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this guy probably did some stupid stuff as well. If my a member in my "favorite band" died, they would seperate and do something different in honor of his memory, which I hope Slipknot will do, both because it's the "honorable" thing to do, and because I don't wanna hear any more sh1t about them (hopefully, this doesn't evolve into a "THE REEEEEV" type deal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thesius Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I honestly don't care. Slipknot is a horrible band and Paul Gray has done nothing for Metal. :/ Slipknot is an alright band IMO.

Death Metal Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I hope Chester Bennington is next. xD No offense to the Linkin Park fans out there (honestly) but I hate his voice that much. But seriously, I liked their first album. I can't lie about that, but after they became another mediocre 'metal' band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baragon Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 When some obscure band's accordian player dies, I'll be sure to write a 9 paragraph, heartfelt thread speaking of his immeasurable contributions to the world of folk metal. Also, I liked a bit of their first album, but skipping the last 15 seconds of every song isn't cool, bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 man... this sucks....Dio and Gray.... I think a little piece of me died just now.... oh well...If Ozzy goes next, I will go to heaven and kick God's arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Wait, so Slipknot are crediable and [despite mainstream] Avenged Sevenfold aren't? I don't really care if you don't like them, you can't deny that they are one of the main bands in the NWOAHM and at the very least, Jimmy was good before he died. But Slipknot... eh, I like two of their songs lol. I was never a huge fan of their music, but their bass wasn't half bad. Why couldn't Clown have died instead? He sucked.

EliminateHRN Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 I like a few of Slipknot's songs (probably three at the maximum), but I hate seeing someone die so early in life. So RIP anyway. I agree with almost everything Brushfire said about Avenged Sevenfold. RIP The Rev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiAM Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 This thread annoys me. 3 people from Metal bands died so far. A lot of other people die. And a lot from other genres of music. There is no curse on metal, death is a natural effect of having life. Also because of the lifestyle, there's a lot more drug consumption involved, that may be a factor. So yeah, it's terrible that he died, as well as other great musicians, but that doesn't mean there is a 'curse' or link between the deaths and some godly potent force.

Enrise Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 In the past, people would conjure up spirits or demons and send them to do harm to their enemies or people that they despise. Whether or not they worked is unsure.Just putting that out there. But I hated Slipknot. Never liked their music.So, I only will give the fact that his death was possible from drugs or something relevant, and I respect him, not for that reason. But still.

2sick4u Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 So that's like, one down, 8 more to go? It's not a drastic impact on anything. Musically, fundamentally, socially. My only sympathy is that he has a pregnant wife. Which is unfortunate in any circumstance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tefached Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 I was rather upset when No.2 diedI was upset when dio diedI was upset when the rev died. but people die everyday...the only difference is how many people know about the death and when a celebrity dies, people panic. Paul will be missed, but more than likely the band and the world will continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
