No Picture Howwhywyz Howwh Professional Badass	#1 by Howwhywyz Howwhyam at May 10, 1972 at 7:04 AM EST
	I wasn't taking the piss, I was just stating my opinion. muchthanmore - without Slayer, there would be no Sikth. I do agree that they (Sikth) are more diverse than System of a Down, I just don't like the way they sound, they just get really boring, really quickly.

No Picture Roger Wanna Be	#2 by Roger Osinski at Dec 7, 1977 at 12:15 AM EST
	this song means nothing to me coz thankfully i dont have any problems like this - but its still a cool song!

No Picture PUNX UNITE Average	#3 by PUNX UNITE at Apr 2, 1984 at 1:55 AM EST
	And yes I do like slayer aswell (been to see them live, they were amazing), but SikThs music is better i feel, its alot harder to play, and sounds so weird that its good. Its like Pink Floyd. Such weird music, but its awesome.

No Picture Marcus Average	#4 by Marcus at Aug 19, 2006 at 2:56 PM EST
	Mikee W Goodman (the dreadlocked vocalist in SikTh) said this song is about having your girl hold your finger, and you get the same feeling you get when you're hugged. Just about wanting to feel good inside rather than having a full on sex session.

No Picture Tanner Average	#5 by Tanner Rudnick at Jan 24, 2007 at 9:42 PM EST
	these guys are way more diverse than system! Their time sigs. and general approach to song writing is so fresh and entertaining unlike (flicks through quiffporn's fave bands) Slayer who've been playing the same song for the past however many years....
