We consider ourselves pot connoisseurs. Which is why it bums us out to no end that we can't attend this year's Cypress Hill Smoke Out, featuring performances by SLIPKNOT, DEFTONES, CYPRESS HILL, BAD BRAINS and more. Plus, what seems like and endless amount of weed. But our loss is your gain because we are giving [...]
SLIPKNOT will be performing on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live on Friday, October 30th, the eve of the most metal holiday around, Halloween. Exciting! The band will be performing their Halloween peformance in Vegas at Fangoria's Trinity of Terrors . This is a good year for metal on TV with brodcast network appearances from MASTODON, MEGADETH [...]
Iowa metal artists Slipknot will be heading out on a short tour in October with Deftones ahead of each of their scheduled performances at this year’s Smokeout festival in San Bernadino, CA on October 24th, 2009, put on by Cypress Hill.Slipknot, who are headlining Smokeout, are also headlining the tour which starts with two make-up [...]
My first reaction when I saw the lineup for this year's Cypress Hill Smokeout was "where's my bowl?" followed by "What was I doing again, maaan??" After about 20 minutes, and a power nap I woke up and remembered Oh yea, Smokeout!! What a killer lineup. Besides having the mighty SLIPKNOT headline, CYPRESS HILL of [...]
There is much news to discuss on this week's edition of the Metal Injection Livecast. Zakk Wylde is in the hospital. Slipknot cancelled their tour, Dave Mustaine took a shot at Lars and much more. Join Rob, Noa, 3D, Sid and some special guest for another random 2 hours of fun and fart jokes. It [...]
It seems as if the release season is finally here. For the third week in a row, quality releases hit the shelves, leaving me to wonder if the record industry is truly dead afterall. Who am I kidding? Of course it is. But at least they are still trying, right?

I am not a long time Slipknot fan, but a fan of the general genere (I'm more old school like Ministry and Nine Inch Nails). However, Volume 3 is simply the best album I have heard in a long long time. It is almost perfect. I was excited about the new Skinny Puppy release, however it disappoints compared to Vol 3.If you like controlled chaos mixed with some tenderness, Vol 3 is something you ...

I was doing Heath’s little game, and one of the questions asked for my favorite lyric from one of the songs of the list…and it was so hard to choose once I saw what song it was.See, in my time on mog, I’ve seen people embrace all types of emotions – but anger isn’t usually one of them. I, on the other hand, find my greatest release in music when it’s angry. Almost every single day wh
So. You may or may not recall that, a few weeks back, for the first time ever, five females won the Completely Unreadable Band Logo contest. Dubbing them "The Slipknot Five," I wrote that "since I've never had a girlfriend who was actually into metal, I'm hoping at least one them e-mails me with a [...]
--- - |- It seemed as if Slipknot was destined for their first-ever #1 album on the U.S. Soundscan charts. Not so, thanks to hip-hop artist The Game, whose new release LAX sold 238,285 copies, a whopping 13 more than the 238,272 units shifted of Slipknot's All Hope is Gone — still an extremely respectable and awesome number.

I'm having a shit day so I'll make this fast: last week's logo belonged to a band called Innocents Massacre. Not "Innocent Massacre" or "Innocents Massacred," as many of you guessed. So Tracy Smith, Erin Harris, Mike Lang and Alex Christensen win our last (at least for now) four copies of Trivium's Shogun. You who [...]
--- - |- So remember two hours ago when we reported that Slipknot had missed the #1 Soundscan spot by a mere 13 albums to The Game? Apparently Roadrunner Records pulled an Al Gore and asked for a recount. Yup, really. And unlike the ill-fated and unfortunate display of electioneering and corruption of the year 2000, the results [...] ~~- Slipknot
