Why is Joey from Slipknot so much more popular then any of the other members?

Actually he does wear a mask, it is similar to a kabuki mask, just formed to his face. He is probally the most popular because he can play his instrument better thanthe others can play theirs. Joey can play drums upside-down, spinning and 20 feet in the air due to a custom drum set eith a racing seat build in.

no. people only like him cause he killed himself, and i don't understand why. but i respect him and his work with nirvana cause they opened the door for other grunge/alternative rock bands.

well, I LOVE THEM FOR THEM AND THEIR MUSIC!!! but other people only like them cuz they're on mtv and have only heard "i write sins not tragedies". if they heard "i write sins not tragedies" and are like "oh my god, i love them!!" and then they hear another song, let's say "build god then we'll talk" and are like "what the heck is this song?! i hate it!" then they really don't like the band at all. they only like that one song. that's true through out the music world.

Because they are like a new band now, they´ve got i think either 2 or 3 new members and the lead singer isnt in the band anymore, cuz he´s got his own band called "Angels & Airwaves". They all still rock though! =)

I believe these kinds of bands, together with other artists like Steve Vai and Eric Johnson, are not so popular in the mainstream because they are a little more virtuosic, improvisational, and experimental (instead of playing what they think will sell) with their musical expression than most rock music fans are used to. Though they have a Rock sound and look to them, their approach to writing songs and performing is more like that of Jazz musicians (real Jazz, not "Smooth Jazz") so the average rock music fan can't really understand or appreciate it. That is why most of their fans are other musicians, because they understand the level of technical difficulty that goes into executing the things these artists do.

My brother is one, he prefers slipknot, he's got more posters of them and listens to more of his songs. The reason is probably he doesn't understand german

I think that Taylor has a legion of fans.  If you notice, he is the only one to have never been in the bottom 2 or 3. I personally like Chris' style of music better, but I find Taylor to be immensely entertaining.  It is going to get interesting...

His humor, passion and drive accounts for a lot of his popularity. An Everyman from Flint chasing after corporate weasels makes for a pleasing scenario to most lower and middle class viewers. People distrust corporate America, so it's easier to put that trust in a fat slob that while he has his own blazing agenda, his teddy bear facade makes him easy to like and listen to.

I concur with the inclusion of Fall Out Boy and Greenday... also agree with Franz Ferdinan, who often get overlooked in these "worst band" questions.  coheed and cambria are... eh that guy just needs a good haircut and to stop sucking helium.

Green Day will always be popular. There are some bands that never go out of style and are amazing songs tht all eras can enjoy. Bon Jovi is old but everyone still loves his music too!

Trent reznor is the sh*t. That guy is wicked! I love his music and His style. he looked good in "The perfect drug". the coolest video, even though it was a trendy song, was "Closer". NIN's Trent kiks a*s!

I liked both, they are about the only American Idol contestants I ever thought had any talent (although Anwar was ok too... Maybe it was the long-hair thing?) At first I preferred Bo but Constantine won me over with his version of Bohemian Rhapsody. He is the ONLY person other than Freddy Mercury who I've heard who has been able to sing it without completely butchering it, it was amazing. After that I have been a huge Constantine fan (I still like Bo though). I didn't get over it for ages when he got booted out in favor that no talent arsehead Scott, HOW could that have happened? It's just wrong!!

yes i do! ...know them/like them, but i don't think he's cute.  first heard them in europe when that song came out: join me in death, i bought their cd 'razorblade romance' and brought it back to the us. all my friends like him too now.

They didn't actually breakup they all have different bands and projects they are working on at the present time like Corey Taylor in Stone Sour and Joey Jordison in Murderdolls, but they all will eventually come back because they are way too popular to call it quits!
