Eugh... wusses.

[cherry popsicle]

Influencing a generation the only people in my area I ever see wear Slipknot t-shirts are suburban white trash wannabe scumbags these losers are just another bunch in a long line of rock frauds.

[PCLoadLetter]

But... In another thread Slipknot were reckoned to be better than those frauds going by the name "The Beatles"...!! :rolleyes:

[Mongrel Class]

burger king imitating a bunch of guys in masks that imitate real metal bands. sounds like a hot item on smoking gun.

they're one of those bands that sell more t-shirts to fat kids than albums.

[KneeKnee]

I should sue burger king for making me watch that HORRID commercial.

[al885]

i should sue slipknot for being in existance. they suck my asshole pipe

[Bone Dry]

It's like they have nothing better to do then bitch about a fucking commercial. Fucking faggots they should be happy that someone actually remembered who the fuck they were to satire there retarded "image."

[Papagolash]

That's retarded, the band in the commercials resemble GWAR, not Slipknot

[atxklown]

Mushroomhead by 6 yrs before Slipknot donned the masks. So who should sue who-who?

Exactly what I was thinking a few days ago when a friend and I saw those awful commercials. I said "Any day now Gwar's gonna slaughter these guys." He said "Yeah. Or Slipknot will sue. Whichever comes first."

One kingdom under chicken friiiiiiies!

The worst part? This band has four songs all devoted not to Burger King or other chicken products, just Burger King's new chicken fries. Four! Anyone thinking about heading to Burger King to do what the mutant chicken-people command shouldn't bother. The chicken fries aren't any better than anything else out there and it certainly isn't worth writing a song over, let alone four.

[LiddyRules]

What Slipknot is really mad about is that their new concept album about Turkey Onion Rings now seems like a fraud.

I know the first commercial had "CoqRoq" in neon behind the band, but I haven't noticed the name appearing in the newer commercials.

As for Slipknot....Give me a fucking break. I was wondering when Gwar was going to gut these talentless assholes....

[DoughBoy]

Can someone give me the fucking pics? I haven't seen shit.

[Dr Midnight]

Am I the only person in the world that likes the Coq Roq commercials, concept, and songs?? What a tool I am.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. I guess the PC asshats decided that name
was too offensive for tv.
