I listen to Slipknot in small doses. I couldn't handle how serious people took them in high school, so I avoided them. Unfortunately Duality came out and that little simple ass guitar riff perked my interest.

Hedrix just had such a cool style of playing. People didn't really hear shit like that IMO again, until SRV came out, and turned out to be the Caucasian embodiment of Jimmi's spirit.
