[QUOTE="crucifine"]Well, Joey Jordison is not the amazing drummer his fans make him out to be. He uses 4 pedals to achieve the sound that many better drummers can achieve with 2, his rhythyms are simplistic and uninnovative, and he can't solo properly. The guitarists are not picking random notes, but their music is extremely easy to play, I've read the sheet music. And as for lyrics, anyone can write about angst. But it seems My Chemical Romance is better at it than Slipknot. On top of all that, if they were competent performers, they'd have three less members. They do not need as many people as they have to play their songs.MankAsh
How's that?
I used to be a fan, I have their Disasterpieces DVD. He frequently used a heel-toe set up on four bass pedals to make them sound fast, while guys like Derek Roddy and Lord Marco can sound faster with only two.
james malone? innovative? its not that hard to play random notes really fast. santiago dobles, that guys knows his technique, and can sweep for sure, but he's just another typical shredder. i don't see how they innovate you, but hey, if it does, be innovated.strat505
Random notes? Definitely not. Almost all of his songs are rooted in diminished thirds, which may sound random, but he writes out most of his music before entering the studio. I'll admit most of his songs don't sound organized due to heavy distortion. Listen to A Diamond For Disease if you can find it or have the time. It better exemplifies what I'm talking about.
Santiago Dobles can actually put an emotional force behind his music, something that I have yet to see from Malmsteen, Batio, Li, Turilli, Llamotainen, etc. If you're just viewing his instructional videos on youtube, it's a bit misleading. Try to find his band Aghora out there somewhere, especially their second album. He's the only virtuoso guitarist I've seen who can incorporate his music in a band that doesn't center around the guitarist.

Terrorism or an act of good will towards all humankind?Elraptor
The world will never know. I suspect it was a suicide mission. The martyr must've snuck into the studio durnig recording, done the deed, and promptly shot himself upon exit of the building.
