Well I decided to make this cause I haven't seen one just for songs yet. Anyways, this one can have any genres therefore bringing more people in xD

Rules:

-You can only vote 1 time, and 1 time only.
-It will last 3 days before I move onto the next battle.
-Either it's a 1 vs 1 battle or 4 songs free for all.
-No spam.
-You must explain why you chose that song and any interests.
-The song can be at any time from the same band.
-Do not post the score, that is my job only, if you do your vote will be taken away and you will not be able to vote until the next round.


Time to start our first battle. Of course with my favorite band n.n

Genre: Nu-Metal

Song #1: Gematria [The Killing Name] by Slipknot Listen here.
Song #2: Duality by Slipknot Listen Here.

If you have any comments or wish that my choices are not fair, also if anything else is wrong, please leave a comment on my profile, ok thanks. ;]


Also, have fun xD Try and discuss things a bit :PP

I'll put in my first vote though..

Duality, because it's always been my first and favorite song from Slipknot, that was the time I first started listening to it therefore my favorite song n.n

Gematria is good and all, and is a very near choice for me, but Duality will always be my favorite xD

I'll vote for Duality because I can understand words in that one. For the most part I don't like Slipknot at all. Duality comes about as close to me like a song by them as I've heard. I just don't have the patience to find one I truly like by them.

Man this is one tough decision!
Both songs are AWESOME!
I think I'll vote for Gematria though, because I like the lyrics so much^^

Gematria - 1
Duality - 4

I can understand that Duality is more passive.. but guys try reading the lyrics or something.. don't rate it just for how it sounds xD Lyrics also count in music..

Yes, but this isn't battle of the lyrics. My problem is, if I don't like the music, then I don't care what the lyrics are. The other thing I have against Slipknot is I can't even understand most of the lyrics because they howl or scream or grunt or whatever they think they're doing that resembles singing.

I'll take Stone Sour anyday over Slipknot. Same singer, but it's actually singing and understandable.

Funny How I can understand them almost completely, there are only a few songs at which are hard to know what they say, people even say Slipknot is pretty soft.. xD

Battle ends Tuesday at 5pm :PP Or something like that.

Oh come on now. Maybe they're soft in the screaming genre (actually a fan of theirs I know calls it the the screaming genre), but there's no way I would even begin to associate them with the word soft. Nothing about them is soft near as I can tell.

You like them, that's fine. I don't begrudge people their own tastes in music. I just like them pretty much not at all.

What I meant was in the metal genre.. Slipknot is no where near the ''screaming'' genre.

That's fine.. I'm just trying to re-enforce my opinion xD

i agree with sourwhatsup, Slipknot are not that much of a "hard" group. Been to one of their concerts and it was amazing, and the pit was crazy^^ Slipknot is Nu-Metal, though I would kinda link it to industrial...
