Slipknot ~ Slayer - Unholy Alliance London 2004

Slipknot ~ Slayer - Unholy Alliance London 2004 Inevitably, it is very loud. You can hear the soupy rumble as Slayer start their set from the other side of the flyover. Inside the Hammersmith Odeon, the mosh pit thrashes, occasionally throwing a flailing body towards the stage. Thousands of young men in rude T-shirts nod in grim unison. Welcome to the Unholy Alliance tour, a neat way for veteran blasphemers Slayer to win a younger demographic, and for young megastars Slipknot to stress that their roots run through serious death metal, not girly nu-metal. Slayer have been going since the early 1980s, mixing grinding rock symphonies with assaults of thrash metal. It's not terribly subtle - there's only so many galloping guitar riffs you can listen to before you start to fancy a quiet paddock and a drink of water - but it seems popular with both the crowd and Slipknot, who do pretty much the same thing, only slightly faster and with masks on.
Visually, Slipknot's show is great. Each member has a slightly different mask (the effect can, in the right light, be rather unsettling), two percussionists are required to hit stuff with baseball bats, and lead singer Corey Taylor, who roars and shrieks but rarely really sings, marshals the audience until they are part of the spectacle, getting everyone to crouch down then leap up for Jump da Fuck Up. Still, Slipknot's wholehearted approach to entertainment could kick most indie bands into touch. The likes of The Heretic Anthem and Duality, meanwhile, have good tunes that leap from their brutal backing. For a band so infatuated with the dark side, Slipknot feel a lot like good, clean fun.

Slipknot - Bled Donington to death

Slipk003 All those who thought it couldn't get any better than Saturday at Download were in for some serious thrills on Sunday. The action was relentless, and fans barely had a chance to catch their breath as legendary set followed legendary set - each one marking the highlight so far, only to be superceded by the next band!

Slipknot literally went off with a bang - an impressive wall of pyrotechnics, later dwarfed in impact by last year's hero of Download - Joey Jordison - with his brutal, mind-blowing drum solo that will be talked about for years to come.They were their usual mischievous selves but this time they had some kind of hug fest going on with the crowd. No more talk of “maggots” doing their will but vocal hugs for support and the missing “clown” (one of the guys that belts the crap out of the drums at the side whilst running around frantically) and “family”. Sure they added a few “motherfuckers” in there but they were more Labrador than Rottweiler and amazingly when they said jump everyone still said, “yes master, how high?” They managed the same trick as last time they played Donington; they got everyone (well about 20,000) to sit down then jump up and “go fucking nuts” on queue. That is a spectacle trust me on that one.
