  Fabulous you mentioned this. I am a fan of Slipknot, truly digging their music and entire band persona. Clown is an amazing person to speak with, he has a heart of Metal gold. With that said, I’m like you… “old school” and uphold the highest Metal allegiance to Slayer. I understand why this happens… it’s based on radio (satellite or FM) airplay and promoters wanting to tap into the younger audiences. However, I’ve seen plenty of younger kids wearing Slayer tees over the past year and any generation of Metal fans should and “do know” that Slayer are F’n… the kings \m/
  
  Metal be thy name and SSSSSLLLLLAAAAAYYYYYEEEEERRRRR!!! \M/
