Slipknot

Slipknot are actually much deeper than most people assume. You have to buy and listen to the albums to get it...

Like, the suits and masks: Sure, they all dress the same, but the point they are making is that people can dress identical and still look different. It's a plea for individuality.

Yes, there are some Slipknot fans who listen to them because of the image. However, look at the CD collections of these people and you'll most likely see Korn, Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Marilyn Manson, Crazy Town and Limp Bizkit in the collection. This isn't representative of what Slipknot are about; it's representative of how shallow nu-metal(and people) are. The pussies go around listening to and 'representing' all the pop-metal bands around.

As for Paul, on the Wait and Bleed video at least, he plays a 6 string Carvin, in lefthand, finger style.

I dunno. It's all opinion. I've seen em live, and the mix is fine, nothing really gets lost, and I happen to like em. I know there's a lotta you guys that don't like them becuase their different by a quite a bit, but any jackass who calls any of this new stuff "new metal" and spells is N-U should be shot. I just happen to like them. Simple. Some people hate them with a passion. Simple. I don't like to argue about it, because nobody wins. I still like them, you still hate them. We waste time getting nowhere.

I've seen them live also and it's a great show, They get into the music, the guitar riffs are heavy and the bass drumers, the clown and long nose guy, really get into it... but i agree Brendan 100%

I read somewhere that if Slipknot has to, he'll drop trou and take a poopie right there on stage. Is that true? Whoa.
