And after the Black Album there were a couple of good songs, but they were mixed with a lot of crap.

I don't think the amount of fans one band has over the other can be used as proof that said band are better, that would make Britney spears better than both Slipknot and Metallica.
I'm not sure how a Slipknot/Metallica comparison works? It's not really the same genre, and both bands have separate but powerful sounds. [EDIT - it's always a bad idea to say you're going to be bigger than a band that is already freakin' huge, and silly to suggest it when you don't even share the same fan base to begin with.]
That being said, Slipknot's new stuff is poor. I was a huge fan of their old, old work. I'm more into my rumbling, thundering metal than the doomy sounds of their new song (Dead memories? I may have got that wrong). Although the song 'All Hope Is Gone' is much like their old sound and I love it.
