Ok. Let ME lay it out for you. The band has a skilled main drummer, and perhaps vocalist. a few other members of the band play actual instruments, which they are profusely bad at. the last 3 / 4 band members do little more than absolutley nothing. as someone put it in another thread "doesnt one guy just press a button and dance around the entire song"
some two other dudes fill in the excessively hollow role of "support percussionist" which requires little more skill then banging on whatever they can find in unicen. With 9 members, face masks, and arguably little skill, this is whats known as a gimmick band at their peak.

The lead singer is nothing special at all. He has no presence or even anything approaching a good or distinctive voice. He is simply shouting himself hoarse over the infernal din played out by the "guitarists" behind him. As you said the drummer is a talented guy, who really ought to be getting a decent gig with another band, and the rest of them? Meh.

I also found it amusing how they said their last album would be their final album, then said that this one would be their final album, and I'm sure they'll follow the same pattern for the next two or three.

Slipknot, i am iffy about them. Not to sure about it. I don't if i should like them or hate them. Just my opinion!

britney spears produces music. iron maiden & AC/DC produce good music. Metallica and Guns N Roses produce great music. Slipknot however don't produce music, they have no talent at all they just scream down a microphone and wear terrible masks. slipknot produce more s*it then an elephant with a bladder problem

You think that's witty? Thats nothing. Allow me to share these precious gems of pure comedic goodness with you. Elvis, don't like him. More like SMELVIS! Good Charlette? More like BAD CHAROLETTE! Stink 182 and so on. I can go on all day. Breakfast cereals include Ape Guts, Raisin Bland, Unlucky Charms and I'm working on Cheerios as we speak.
