The only Slipknot songs I like are that one they did for Resident Evil and Before I Forget, or whatever it was called. Actually, I thought their third album was taking them in the right direction, i.e. towards melody. They'll always be associated with daft ganties because they seemed to make it big on the back of an Ozzfest, though.
The most pathetic thing about Slipknot is that those fucking daft hoodies that wee ganties wear could be purchased from Marks and Spencer seconds shops a few years ago. It was quite soul-destroying because at the time (2002-ish) I was really into Testament. You'd get the occasional Slipknot fan that also 'liked' Testament - they're Mick Thompson's favourite band - and they'd try to associate with you.
