wow, what a mature discussion. (apart from the bits about the drummer being the only one with talent, about which i completely agree)

Yeah, and I'm not talking about the two guys that bash on percussion, just the main one.

Exactly what I meant as well.

Yeah. One of the guys like bangs on an empty keg in every song. come on. HOW can you like this band.

I heard the reason there is nine guys in slipknot is so they can have massive homosexual orgies

Wouldn't surprise me....

There's only nine of them though. That would mean someone getting left out. My money's on the Clown.

Let me lay it out for you. There are 2 percussionists that support the drummer with Like toms and bass drums turned on their side, the toms are not like regular toms, these special keg tom things that Shawn (The clown) welded himself. They don't just hit beer kegs, although that is one of their pieces in their sets. Adn tehy back up Corey (The lead vocalist) with backup vocals. And also they rarely hit the beer kegs. Maybe in like 10 songs. :band: Go slipknot!

Um ew! Dude. Slipknot is not ***. They have 9 members because they have so many instruments to be played. It's like a 9 group jazz band. Only metal;

2 guitarists (1 lead 1 rythem)
1 bassist
2 custom percussionists
1 drummer
1 DJ
1 synthetics/samples dude
1 lead vocalist

comparing a 9 piece jazz band to slipknot is like comparing filet mignon to steak-ums.
