Why they might be annoying:

    They originally sent their tape to Fred Durst and he called them back, but took too long to get them signed.
    Stephen said he came up with a drinking game that whenever you hear 'me,' 'myself,' or 'I' in a song, you have to have a drink, because his lyrics are infested with those words.
    Their album, 'Welcome,' has just short one-word song titles.
    Stephen has tattoos along his arms.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Since it took a long time for them to get signed with Fred Durst, they dropped themselves out from his label and landed a deal with Atlantic Records.
    Fred wished them to get cursed, but they respond to his rude behavior.
    Steve and Mike were good friends in high school and have been writing music since then.
    When they attended the 'University of Michigan,' Phillip and Mike created a website to promote their shows.
    Jack Osbourne really likes them and got them on the lineup of the 2000 Ozzfest.
    Rolling Stone called them 'the next contenders for the new-metal crown.'
    Their album, 'Welcome' sold more than 195,000 copies.
    Their influences include Alice in Chains, Tool, Faith No More and Rush.
