Listen to whatever you want, doesnt concern me, but when someone says hey what do you think of slipknot, im gonna tell them exactly what i think about them and recommend an alternative, just as i did on this thread. I wasnt "hating" on slipknot, just stating that they are a mediocre metal band with a stage gimmick that is nowhere near original.

BTW - the gwar interview that i was refering to -
darkstar: What does “Gwar” mean?
Oderus: “What does Gwar mean?”

darkstar: Yeah, because I’ve heard it stood for “God What an Awful Racket.”
Oderus: Just to let you know, it’s not an acronym for, you know, “*** Weird Anal Reprobates,” all right? It’s not that. Even though we are, ok? We’re not denying that. We’re supporting it. We’re advocating it.

darkstar: So what does it mean?
Oderus: Whoa whoa whoa! Wait a minute. You know what? A lot of people ask me this question: “What does “Gwar” mean?” I don’t know. I don’t know what the name of my own band means.

Jen: Did you make it up?
Oderus: No. No! I’m just…I am that. That’s what I am. I’m Gwar. Whatever I am is what Gwar is. So I guess that’s the struggle all people have – the quest for self identity. That’s what Gwar is, why we’re alive. Yeah, this weed in Vancouver is really good. “I’m Eddie Vedder.” [Mumbles, then sings incoherently.] Die! Just ****ing die! Die! [Sings.] “Don’t call me daughter.” What the **** does that mean? All right, next question. Sorry, I mean, I could go with this for a while, my Eddie Vedder impersonations. “Hey Eddie, Kurt Cobain just blew his head off!” [Mumbles.]

complete interview
