You really are rather arrogant, if you think that your music taste is better than others.

I never said my music taste was any better.
'Making it' has nothing to do with talent, it's 100% marketing. Why do you think American Idol etc winners get a #1 song? Marketing.

I said that every human being has talent. As someone who has spent a large amount of time in conservatoriums etc I can honestly say that there are a LOT of normal people out there with more talent, skill and musicianship than slipknot.

More to the point, I'd say 'screaming'. Slipknot wouldn't be the same if they just stopped with that vocal sound. If you don't like it, go for Stone Sour, the band Corey started with.
If there is no talent to market, no producer would produce the music for the band.

EDIT: NinjaFee strikes again.

I couldn't give a shit about Dragonforce, this thread is about Slipknot.
