I am not a fan at all (not because of what they are seen to represent BTW) but I do think that 'Spit It Out' is a phenomenal track. Very successful Metal bands that have a predominantly young teen audience are frowned upon by an older generation who just were'nt a part of that. Not all of course but some bands get a bad wrap because of this. Many people who grew up on Slipknot may well diversify and be into less mainstream music now that they are older and that can only be a good thing.

I've got to go with Serj Tankian/SOAD, simply because they were the first rock/metal (whatever you want to call them) band that I ever liked, and they're truly the reason that I'm into metal today.

Wow, I was finally going to post in this thread and you had to have the same band. ****.

I heard Toxicity and got into metal. The rest is history.

I saw them at Mayhem with DragonForce and Disturbed, and their fanbase is so...bad. I can't exactly explain it, but the vast majority of people there shop at Hot Topic for everything, drink till they puke on their shirts, and mosh like complete a-holes. The performance was good, but the whole crowd experience was horrible.

Setting that aside, my most influential person is actually Weird Al. Yeah I know....I heard like every song when I was in 4th grade then started listening to the bands he parodied. He is very talented.

Agreed. I actually found a lot of music via Weird Al.

I'm going to say two artists.
The first is Mozart. As a pianist, learning his classical works influenced me as a musician.
The second would have to be Tool. Don't hate me, I'm not a crazy fangirl who thinks they are the gods of music or whatever, they just quite simply influenced me in terms of getting more seriously into music. They are also the reason I found my current bandmates. And boyfriend.

but yeah. the blanket hate that slipknot receive is unrelated to the album music, which most people who talk bad of them have never even listened to so much as a second of.

but then, slipknot's image is so repulsively detestable and abhorrent and their fanbase is so unbelievably sad-a$s that it almost justifies hating the band and their music...just 'cause.
In my case the dislike is justified. A lot of my friends in high school were Slipknot 'maggots'. They didn't just listen to the music... they would also etch the lyrics in desks and walk around in those stupid Slipknot shoes.

I'll concede that Joey Jordison is a competent drummer (though quite overrated) and Corey Taylor isn't a bad vocalist. Stone Sour - Bother is a good track.
