As far as the band goes, it's not really the mass media coverage... When kids look at bands such as Slipknot, KoRn, Marilyn Manson, Murderdolls, Mushroomhead and the like, they're not looking for musical talent. I find that most eleven year old children who listen to this music, listen to it because they want to fit into the crowd "goths" if you will. (Please, before you flame...I know these sorry kids running around with Linkin Park hoodies and black finger nails are NOT gothic. Thank you) They believe their music makes them "freaks", and "outcasts to society". So they find a reason to be depressed, like the lead singers in their favorite bands... AND THEN they bitch about not being accepted and what not when THEY'RE the ones who segregated themselves in the first place. Humm, the kids that listen to this music listen to it because it is social propoganda that tells them "they'll never be accepted, so be a F]234]{ 4 L1F3"...

Anyways, I realize some people really listen to the Murderdolls for the music, and I respect their tastes and opinions. As for the kids that I just described....
