That’s a strange error message. Jimmy Kimmel is a late night TV show on ABC. I hope you can see some video of Slipknot. They are quite scary in performance.

I was pretty scared and intrigued by the group at the same time, but when I tried listening the song I got a weird message:
“This video contains content from Jimmy Kimmel Live, who has decided to block it in your country.”
???
I managed to listen the song somehow, the lyrics are absolutely genius.

Here’s the new Buckethead guitar from Gibson:

I thought Buckethead started his fad because he was protesting against KFC and that’s why he wore their bucket ‘o chicken on his head?
I agree that masks are much more scary and foreboding than face paint. A mask hides the skin and all you can see for visual clues above the torso — for danger and emotion — are maybe the eyes and the throat.

It’s strange — masks mean so many things. The guitarist “Buckethead” plays with a bucket on his head because he wants people to focus on his guitar playing, not on who he really is. (Come to think of it, most masked bands are like that.) I am intrigued by the idea of masks — even the painted on ones that Kiss wore for so many years.
