Concept[edit]

Can someone clarify more specifically how it was written in relation to a record label not signing them? If I didn't understand, likely many others didn't as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.177.187.201 (talk) 00:05, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to redirect[edit]

I've changed this to a redirect to the album. Feel free to revert and add information about the song. — jmorgan (talk) 19:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Death Metal[edit]

The note says don't add death metal because Revolver says it's a flirtation, but Louder Sound's list of the 50 best Slipknot songs word for word says "Slipknot aren’t a satanic band, so The Heretic Anthem’s cry of ‘If you’re 555 then I’m 666!’ is very knowing. Of course, this isn’t about the devil. It’s a middle finger to the record industry, desperately clamouring for the band to produce a radio single: ‘I'm a pop star threat, and I'm not dead yet’. This is a death metal song with Corey Taylor screaming over it – the riffs, the double-bass, Paul’s puerile bass. Cry about it all you like, but The Heretic Anthem is more eye-poppingly heavy than 99% of extreme metal bands today." So we should add death metal using Louder Sound's reference.
