"slipknot and bands of the same genre"

what a load of twoddle

i would rather stick a drill in my eye than listen to slipnot

I'm not a fan of the music, but they have got to be pretty much the frontrunner of their genre.
It may not be what you'd traditionally call musical talent, there may be more important aspects to the 'talent' that got them where they are today than those envolving their music, but in my opinion, there's no way they got where they are on a fluke. Hence, in my opinion, they have some kind of talent.

The words Slipknot and Talent don't belong in the same sentence. Not unless it's part of the words untalented or talentless. Palm muting and drop-d tuning does not a guitar hero make.

Those guys must be loaded by now though?

I'm not suggesting they're sellouts, but i know i'd do what they're doing (if i had the tallent!) for the kind of money they're on.

Slipknot take it too far, like many other people......

I dont like Slipknot....They scare me! just kidding i like people like Pappa Roach and Linkin Park.

Nothing wrong with Slipknot as soon as you get over the fact they're a little strange in their ways.

Feeling I'm one of the few who's playlist can slide from Slipknot into Joni Mitchel...

If this is your honest opinion then it is not worth explaining. Sorry.

I admire your style, though I would have preferred that you got to your point sooner, rather than beating around the bush.

Nevertheless, allow me to retort.

"It's better than the fruity music you listen to..."


(it's a film line before you go off on one at me...:D)

But it's TRUE HA!
