Moonstrider: Well, because my username is based off of a Slipknot album, I guess you know where this is going...

I really do disagree with your dislike for Slipknot and "new" metal, personally I think Slipknot carries a very unique style in that even though most of the tune to their music is absolutely incomprehensible (try listening to "Heretic Anthem", you'll know what I mean), it carries a great beat ("Surfacing") and [in their self-titled] really neat lyrics ("Sic"). Furthermore, my personal 'Knot experience is enhanced by the inability to stop listening...I don't even know why. I could understand your opinions, but i'd like to know just how much Slipknot you've heard before you make such accusations. Who know? Maybe you have listened to alot of them and are making a theory based on fact...if so, then i'll simply say "if that's the way you think" and walk away. However, you could be making assumptions based on their worst songs ("Eyeless", "Circle") or have not much experience...if that's the case i'll just shake my head and say "you're really making the wrong descision and missing out" and walk away, either way we avoid fighting. Don't you see how my method works?

To address the talk about "nu-metal"...well I don't particularly think it's metal either, but I do like it.

Never heard any black metal...but I wouldn't mind giving it a go (nor would I any other type of metal [except for glam, hate that crap!]).
