Antz of brokeNCYDE. He was in charge of fog and lights. He was considered an official member of the group/band even though he was basically a roadie.

The clown is a percussionist and there are many important parts of Slipknot songs that rely on him and the other percussionist.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones has one member of their band who just dances around on the stage. He doesn't even play an instrument. All he does is dance like a goon.

Now, I WOULD nominate that guy, but I did some research and, as it turns out, that guy is actually the band's manager. I guess he manages the band, but also dances around like a silly goose.

>>72729501
Just screams his name over tracks
He doesn't even do the production
He's one of those people I can't understand being famous. I know the normies loved the dumb Snapchat stuff but he's a multimillionaire somehow

>>72729520
He pulled them further down tonally with his depression stuff. And you can make the argument that New Order is the better band

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard do not need two drummers.

>>72729461
His mask sales alone justify his importance too the band.
>>72730051
Clown write lyrics sometimes.

>>72731124
Most bands don't

>>72730336
That's honestly pretty cute (I can't believe I'm saying that for them), and considering their image is way more important for them than their music, he's more or less as important as the rest of them.

>legit slipknot fan on /mu/

damn im getting too old for this shit

>>72729461
hey he does some things sometimes like keyboards and some feedback samples

don't know why sid can't do that though

>>72731211
"No"

>>72731242
Slipknot and Korn were unironically good bands and you are lying to yourself if you think otherwise, they just lost their steam and became shittier as time went on.

>>72731267
yeah Korn made a few good albums but slipknot are shit

>>72731261
Mom you were never good at arguing.

>>72731242
They were the only band I listened to in middle school. I'd come home from school and just listen to the self-titled, Vol3, Iowa, and MFKR later on repeat. I loved researching all these stupid facts about the band.

>>72731242
>>72731267
They were actually shit, but most of /mu/ were young enough to be naive when they were popular to like them so they retain the knowledge they absorbed during that time.

>>72731278
"Yes"

>>72729461

bez

is the only answer

>>72731298
spot on
>>72731285
yeah most people like shit music when they are kids

>>72731267
>>72731267
Slipknot self titled is to this day a legitimately 9.5/10 album and I've abandoned 90% of the metal shit I used to listen to.

Sid Vicious
Joel Gion

I was gonna say Richey Edwards but then I remembered how important he was for his lyrics.

>>72731394
Sid was actually a decent drummer for the Banshees.

>>72731361
You could make a religion out of this

>>72731175
Like the girl in Hawkwind who danced naked,

>>72731394
>Joel Gion
true
i think people just like him for being another strong personality that isn't anton

>>72731466
I have heard he was somewhat responsible compared to the rest of the band. I guess that's of use.

>>72729579
Hey fuck you no one else is better at screaming their own name than him

>>72730438
he got the gig by pretending to be a band member so he could get into a 21+ venue. the band thought it was hilarious and just went with it

>>72730365
Well Greg plays the sampler on the first albums.

>>72731298
Nah, Slipknot's S/T recording process was very creative, they certainly had some artistic merit, not to mention their first record was actually decent. But yeah, they're shit right now, more than ever now that their bassist died.

Now Korn was a pretty good and original band, some of their albums were well received by general audience and critics. Their audience was a generational thing tho, think about Death Grips and how will they be perceived in 10 years.

Most numetal that came after was shit, but Slipknot, Korn and Deftones do have some good albums.

Andy Morin
Why is their studio engineer onstage throwing stupid effects on everything?

>>72730051
I think Clown is the responsible for the whole "artistic" vision of the band. He's basically the guy who has the ideas that their fans like.

>>72731562
hi scaruffi

>>72731599
Nah, if you don't like them, that's fine; they play a very niche genre full of commercial bullshit; but saying that they were always shit is ignoring some decent stuff.

Everyone in Paramore except Hayley. They're all sub-par musicians that are easily replaceable, people really only care about Hayley and the band would be nothing without her.

THE FACT

>>72731637
Then why is the only highlight on the new album the instrumentation and Haley not wanting to dwelve away from mainstream poppy vocals so much is what drags it down?

>blue hair dye on ginger hair
there was this absolutely pig disgusting girl in my high school who did this. she looked horrible (although the dye job was the least of her problems tbdesu).
one day my mom picked me up and saw her walking out, and said she looked like a rusted penny.

>>72729598
the only correct answer

>>72732173
>one day my mom... said she looked like a rusted penny.

I hope you corrected her (to "oxidised penny")

>>72731562
Deftones I don't at all consider nu-metal. Great, talented band and Chino has the voice of an angel.

>>72731637

Paramore was literally concocted as a backing band for Hayley. The industry wanted her to be a pop star, but she wanted to make pop punk. SO they got her high school friends to be her backing goons while she sang and looked pretty on stage

this band has a dedicated member to act like a zombie in front of the stage

It was either Paul, Dave, Frazer or Woody out of Warlord.

>>72730336
he's also the guy who makes sure DMX doesn't lose his mind/go all out/act a fool/ lose his cool, which is a very important role in any band

>>72731350
>>72731298
>They were actually shit
let me guess the main reason you think so is because they're "cringey" or "not real metal." i've seriously never heard any actual criticisms against their first album

did the other guy in Wham! ever actually do anything?

I have a lot of respect for Slipknot only because they introduced/made me tolerate a lot of underground music

>>72731175
Lots of artists have a dance team but I've never heard of an official member of a band who only dances and nothing else.
