You may not LIKE Slipknot, but the fact is... they do NOT suck. They are extremely skilled musicians and are, IMO, a good metal band.

God dammit, don't make me argue with you. I actually like you.

Look, dude, even if their guitarist is technically skilled (which, I hate to say, he is). It is not really that evident in his work with Korn 2...I mean...Slipknot. Their bland, generic backings certainly don't show it, nor do their masturbatory guitar solos with almost NO direction whatsoever. I'd type more but apparently I'm supposed to go to lunch with some peeps.
