but, the moral of the story is, they do what they do, they must enjoy it, and with the talent they do have, they do a good job :)
Simple.

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.

The guitarists in Slipknot are actually pretty good, Id say there alot better than you in fact. Now Im not exactly a Slipknot an myself, in fact I hate them but its attitudes like yours that make me spring to their defence.

BTW, Rhapsody is awesome!! (mainly because they've got Christopher Lee narrating)

An A.C. or GG Allin fan?Originally Posted by: MoonliteShredbritney spears aint a good singer but many appreciate her music
Considering she writes none of it, doesn't perform any of the instrumental tracks on it and probably has a very minimal role in even choosing the music she "performs," how is it even really her music?
Next, pretty much everybody I know who listens to Britney Spears would listen to Dying Fetus if they were played on a Top 40 radio station... they're not appreciating the music, they're ignoring it while they work/drive/putz around the house/whatever.
