Linkin Park is not even heavy metal, why do you bring them in this discussion. They are a hybrid genre (rap+rock).

The heavy metal of Slipknot is not true heavy metal. It's the boring, commercial music they do to get paid more. They are mainstream, appear on MTV, Guitar Hero, just to get fans. Same tactic as Tokio Hotel. Nothing special in their music.

Look at Metallica. That's true Heavy Metal. Never went mainstream, GREAT SOLOS (something heavy metal is notable of, and surprisingly Slipknot lacks solos), great instrumental songs and great live performance (they are one of the greatest live heavy metal bands ever, probably the best).

Legend Icons (Metallica) vs Mainstream temporary catchy band (Slipknot)

There's a huge line between them. Sorry, but hating Metallica, loving Slipknot and THEN claiming to love Heavy Metal is plain ridiculous.

AGAIN, it's not a matter of opinion, if you like Heavy Metal, you like Metallica, they are the main reason this genre came to our generation.

I know i was already dead, but i think you just killed me again.T_T

Because what you listen (Slipknot) isn't real heavy metal, it's mainstream music.

Slipknot could be good for whatever genre they are, but if you put them in the heavy metal genre they totally suck.

Compare them with mainstream music and they are good, much better than mainstream Linkin Park.

Show me, then!

The last album is totally NOT mainstream even thoguh they moved to a bigger record.

The Day That Never Comes - typical heavy metal ballade song, where heavy metal solos come in the second part.

Suicide and Redemption - Full instrumental heavy metal song, shows the great skills of the band.

Then Cyanide, My Apocalypse etc. music is NOT mainstream.

MTV shows mainstream crap, it never shows Metallica for some reason. Slipknot is there frequently.

I'm waiting for your argument now.
