IF a member of Slipknot wore a Chicken mask, then they might have a drumstick to stand on. I think it's more of a publicity stunt than anything else. My daughter, a fan, laughed at the article and said as much, too.



Peace,

Not really ripped off. Mushroomhead was offered a deal first but, turned it down, then Slipknot was signed to a better one. They kind of had it both going on at the same time. Slipknot's "masking" was because they all had other bands at the time. Some say it's a rip off but, if you look closely at it, it seems like it was going on in 2 different areas but, I don't know the whole story...Just what I mentioned.

But anyways, this is bullshit. It's a good ad campaign and does nothing to help or hurt them so they need to STFU.
If youth knew; if age could.

Yes, Mushroomhead started in '93. Slipknot started in '95. Mushroomhead was very well known outside Cleveland by the time Slipknot started, I call that a rip-off.

Here is the COQ ROQ's website: http://www.coqroq.com/

The site makes these guys look like a real band. I don't think they look anything like slipknot .. Then I don't listen to Slipknot, so, I wouldn't know .. But, from the pic I just saw of them, I don't look anything like the dudes with chickens on their heads ..

I think someone is trying to seek publicity, and a little more marketing. It seems to be a common accurance in the entertainment business ..
Music Rocks!
