theres a VERY fine line between not soloing because you dont feel the need to try and upstage everyone else in the band, or try to force a solo in where it dosent feel right

Yeah.. it has nothing to do with the fact that Slipknot sucks. There's no place to put a solo in, because the composition of the music consists of slapping out-of-tune guitars like Animal from The Muppet Show. Only Animal kicks ass, and Slipknot does not.
