You could say similar things about Kreator, Faith No More, Bad Brains, The Mighty, Mighty Bosstones and a multitude of other acts.


And as much as I dispise Slipknot, I can't stand on the sidewalk in Randolph for more than five minutes without some acne infested kid in a beat up Honda CRX with bad exhaust and a park bench mounted on the back of it driving past blarring their stuff. A lot of the guys in the band have made names for themselves, Cory already has a new band that's doing well and everybody else seems to have endorsement deals.

Good, bad or indifferent, they're going to be with us for a while, too.

but just because they're around doesnt mean they're gonna stay AROUND if you see what i mean ( :confused: )... just because they're still hanging about doesnt mean that they're musically any good (apologies for the bitchiness sounding of that statement but i cant think of any other way to get the point across). it doesnt mean that future guitarists/musicians are going to go "my god! they were the biggest influence on my life" like a lot of people say about the guys they've been slagging off.
that's what i meant when i said noone will have heard of them in a few years time...
but anyway i dont want to argue (peace is the only way forward :D )with anyone, i was just giving my opinion... i'll probably be wrong anyway, maybe they will be around forever and change the face of music as we know it... (*chuckle*)


again, dont want to argue! :p
