Don't like him and I consider it blasphemy.
I'm not much into Mumford and Sons or Drake, but the rest of them are in heavy rotation in my driving playlist. And having lived in Bakersfield pretty much made Korn mandatory on my Lyft playlist, lol. But only back in their earlier days, when they were angry and screaming, and some stuff that still to this day I'm still not entirely sure what.

So to finish the story, I kind of had it all, and it just felt like I was getting somewhere. But I was also irresponsible. I started overdosing on caffeine, taking in lots and lots of it, as a means of curbing job stress and a bit of PTSD. It pretty much ruined my health based on the problems I had after that, even if people don't always enjoy even making a small connection between caffeine overdosage and these health problems randomly creeping up.
Noooooooooooo!
Aye I was listening to them in like 95. Which is only a year after their debut album. The first 2 albums Johnathan wrote about the abuse he suffered as a child, which his rage resonated with me so I understood each gutteral grunt and throat shredding scream.
I was one of the first on the east coast to blare KoRn out of a low rider s10 pickup with 18" rims and 2 12" subwoofers in the back! I was such a little wannabe.
Like 96-97. Haha right before they blew up with Follow the Leader.I like all their albums up to Follow the Leader which is when I got to meet them for the first time in Atlanta, got my CD signed and was a blubbering idgit.
I didn't like the next couple of albums by them until Pardigm Shift and The Path of Totality, they are alright. Looks like they got a new album dropping September 13th, so I'll probably check that out for some new stuff.
It's happened to the best of us. At least you are fighting back! That's admirable, don't give up kiddo!

I find my anger and rage just doesn't match up to "angry and pissed off about everything Slipknot" anymore (still not extinguished to the level of "found peace and happiness Slipknot" though), Iowa is still a great album on its own merit.

Thank you very much. I've had some tough trials.
Going back to video games though, I was going through a rough patch at age 13. My parents were considering a divorce, though it never happened. I needed to get my mind off things. I sunk 120+ hours into a Gameboy Advance game called Golden Sun over the course of some months, and it did provide me something to get my mind off things.
Vermillion is my fav SlipKnot song and of course some of Stone Sours stuff as well.
Part 2 resonates with me on a deeper level with the acoustics.

I'm surprisingly at times a Purist Puritan when it comes to music. Not always, and I can name plenty of examples where I like a change in singer/guitarist/drummer/whatever, but to me punk is pretty much dead and there is no replacing Staley. Never. Just like there is no replacing Dave Williams from Drowning Pool (Sinner). It's like post-White Zombie/post-Hellbilly Deluxe Rob Zombie being called and justified as Zombie. Or post-Cliff Burton Metallica. Or Iron Maiden without Bruce Dickinson. Slipknot was way better off with Corey Taylor, who over the other guy is a far better performer, has a far better voice, and is way hotter, but I call it post-Ozzy Black Sabbath "Dio Sabbath" and "everybody else Sabbath" for a reason. Great musicians, but without Ozzy it's not Sabbath.
I hear ya. While I'm ok with Laynes replacement I'm not ok with others.
Like when STP replaced Scott, all fails except Chester Bennington, that's only cause I liked Chester.
Van Halen is just not the same without Dave.
Even KoRn was hindered by losing Heady for a few years while he cleaned up from heroin addiction. On a side not his solo "Christian" album was actually pretty good!

I've always loved Stone Sour more than Slipknot, with it being firmly cemented after they brought back Family Values Tour, and Corey Taylor (with Stone Sour) caused the crowd to go absolute ape**** crazy. It started after Corey said something about freedom, and asked the crowd if they know what to do with "true freedom," and I think it was 30/30-150 they broke into, and in a tiny pocket of the lawn section (house right/stage left) the crowd started throwing ton of stuff in the air--a mixture of trash, shoes, miscellaneous items of various sorts and clothing types, and various sized chunks of sod ranging from golf-ball sized to large enough to require to people to swing-throw it a couple feet--and it quickly spread. Throughout the entire lawn section. It was a cloud of dirt and dust, debris was flying everywhere, people are fighting and moshing anywhere and everywhere they want, several fires are going, and it got rough enough that even security evacuated the lawn section and it was total chaos. The song Through the Glass Taylor interrupted a few times because he was laughing too hard over the sight. When he asked the crowd how were doing, in the lawn we roared. He replied "I know how you ****ers in the lawn are doing! How about you ****ers under the pavilion? You aren't being as loud as they are!" And he pointed out the "sod wars," as it came to be known, told those in the pavilion to check it out, and he laughed his *** off a bunch of times throughout their set. The song Bother, to me, it's not a calm song or even tranquil, I smile thinking about the anarchy that prompted two of the local DJs to tell the crowd to chill out and knock it off because a riot squad had been called and if don't cut the crap they are coming to break it up and arrest people. Of course it was met with roars of "boo," and various profanities, but in all reality it was bad enough you couldn't even see the sidewalks when the dust settled, and during X-Fest a week later there were still huge chunks of the lawn still missing.
Corey Taylor gained a permanent place of endearment in my heart after that. And last year, just before I left Indiana, I met a lady who was part of the crew during that show. She was practically a goddess in my eyes, because people in her position make the show possible, and that show gave anyone who went to it abit of local celebrity/legend status.

Yeah. Chester really did have an awesome voice. I have always LOVED his performance on the Queen of the Damned song System. Probably also the only person I'll ever hear do a decent cover of a Deftones song.

There existed a few days pretty long ago where people thought I might be hazardous to myself. When I was recovering from trying out various new meds, again this was long ago, I realized that the meds weren't going to help me unless I also was seeking to recover. So I started listening to Newsboys because I needed some soft music as part of recovery. This was before Newsboys released their latest stuff which I don't like as well as I did the stuff from a bit before. I was on so much medicine, I was having what amounts to vivid dreams, and even a sort of vision when I was awake. Over the years, I've gone back and forth on whether this certain vision I had meant nothing or if it meant something, like from a higher power. I'm not ready to slide off the deep end and start thinking I'm some vessel of a higher power, far from it, but there are certain things in this vision that ended up coming true in a sense. It seemed to give all kinds of clues to things like the religion I would end up following, that it would have a sort of universal sense to it, and I interpreted it as Christian Universalism. It wasn't until I discovered Baha'i that I got much closer to what this vision showed.
I do think a renewed interest in religion will help me in this increasingly-scientific world so as to not just keep falling into slumps of listening to Marilyn Manson and entertaining my lower sense or Yin of my Yin/Yang.

@Enoch07 I still can't over thinking you've been about something like 15-20 years older, at least, than you are this entire time, and it turns out you're only two years younger than my brother, lol. I thought you were somewhere about my mom or dad's age, and it turns out you're within the age range of most of my friends, lol.

Hmm best concert I've ever been too. Honestly it was at the Tabernacle in ATL. It was Staind, Powerman 5000, SevenDust. Unbelievably good sets by all!
Second best was at the International Ball Room, KoRn, Staind, and Orgy (it's a band lolz).
Worst concert was a mix bag. International Ball Room during summer it was 95° 70% humidity. A band named The Pharcyde opened, Staind followed, the Limp Bizkit. When Fred Durst came out the craziest mosh pit I've ever been in broken out. Some poor little girl that weighed maybe 100lbs got trampled, had to be carried out on by the paramedics. I just left during the second song by LB. It was just too crazy!
Well like I say I'm an old soul. Pagan girl said I was on my final life. That after this I'm done and not coming back (I can't remember her terminology, something house or something). Well I agree with it. If reincarnation is a thing I'm done, not coming back.

*is jealous*
The first time I dyed my hair blond, I did it because I wanted to look more like the lead singer.
@Enoch07 I also realized you're young enough I can call you things like bung hole, fart knocker, or dill weed in a shrill voice and obnoxious laugh and you can't get mad.
I loved Beavis and Butthead! Haha
Yes you can call me those names all day and I won't take it as derogatory!
