"Ozzfest, with so many great bands. Slipknot, I think they made the best album of '04. They need to be honoured. I think the guys are up for a Grammy. Outside of that, I think they deserve Best Album of '04."
--Bill Ward (Drummer, Black Sabbath) http://www.billward.com/news.html
I hated Slipknot when I saw them in 2000 and I hated hearing them on the radio way back when I listened to radio. What can I say? It just doesn't compare to any music previously released. Bill mentions other modern bands but fails to mention Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society. I suppose my statements regarding Slipknot are pretty premature since I haven't even heard their "nu" album. *Oh, he said nu, DISS SON!"
"oh wow your a member of slipknot"
"yeah"
"well thats awesome, what do you play"
"percussion"
"oh cool, your the drummer"
"no, i bang a deerskin bass drum for the entire song, but we get to wear these super-cool masks"
...FAILS to mention the BLS, where is his taste in music, oh im sorry, their not a nu band,
What the Fuck is right
