Slipknot and Mushroom Head

[AquaParade]

Although I'm sure a lot of you wont know what I am talking about, a fued that has going on between these bands for years caught my attention today. I'll admit, this is a biased statement, as I am a Slipknot fan, and only was into Mushroom Head for a very short period of time. Anyways, for those who followed all the statements Mushroom Head has made throughout magazines, I've gotta say....Mushroom Head is full of some pretty ignorant, and childish musicians. Throughout each interview, they ramble on about how they are hardened Clevland kids who are'nt afraid to kick ass and what not, stating that Slipknot is yet to come down to their hometown and fight them...give me a break...Band Rumble?...grow up a little. These statements make them sound like 12 year old kids trying to be hard in middle school. Really though, the statement's that bug me the most, are the ones where Mushroom Head attacks Slipknot for ripping them off and stealing their "look", when Slipknot have pretty much stated over and over again, the look isnt what they care about at all(they're even at the point where their latest masks, are only replicas of their real face) Therefor, Mushroom Head is attacking a band for ripping off their outfits, and stating all the bands that have dressed up like that before either of them, to more strongly support their statement. My conclusion to this statement: Slipknot obviously isnt as caught up in the whole image thing as Mushroom Head, who are attacking them for ripping off their look, while at the same time, naming off all the bands they have also "ripped off" alongside slipknot....to make slipknot look worse.....when Slipknot are the ones who dont care. I'll be surprised if any one single person on this board followed this post and was able to make sense of it, because This is me venting. Thank you for your time :) thoughts?

Mushroomhead just started bashing slipknot, first off this fight has always been between the fans not the bands themselves. Neither one has ever had a problem with each other until Mushroomheads newest CD savior sorrow came out. But they have had quite a few band mates leave before that came out.

If you look further into this you'll see that this feud as been between the fans for some time now, mushroomhead fans can be dicks (the ones that dont understand what its all about). The bands have been good and have both agreed that they have nothing against each other.

Mushroomhead started bashing Slipknot when a new documentary called behind the clown (I believe thats what it is called, I cant seem to find it at the moment) came out calling out Slipknot for screwing over all the other bands in Des Moines, which is a whole other story.

Mushroomhead was bashing for awhile when that came out to help get them some exposure and ride the controversy of that new movie.

But no its been the fans not the two bands that have been at each other, if a fight was mentioned between the two it was probably recent which Mushroomhead is just doing for more advertisement.

The Mushroomhead looking for publicity thing sounds pretty logical. The documentary was called "A Clown Short of Destiny", and ya, it was around this time that Mushroom head really started doing the bashing. Not to mention, the guy who directed a clown short of destiny, was the guy Mushroomhead went to, to direct their new music video...I am much too lazy/tired to piece this together right now...but that must mean something haha.

These bands are still around? Jesus I remember hearing them back awhile ago. I hadn't heard anything about either of them in ages. I had a friend who used to listen to them. Course he listened to alot of music I didn't like but he espcially talked about Slipknot alot. Just surprised their still around cause normally I see them on Ozzfest or something.

I swear metal is one of the most diverse genres. Fans of one metal band hate another, fans of one kind of metal hate another.

It's ironic, all the bands I love, like bands I hate, and all the bands I hate are influenced by bands I love.

I love all metal except power metal.. That I only like.
