Sorry for your loss mate.
I know what you mean with slipknot, maybe try a band called spineshank, their guitar riffs are golden. Or even a bit of rammstein?

To echo Dudeofrude's sentiments I'm sorry to hear about your mum, and the odd bit of raw guitar power does wonders to clear the mind.
I like Robin Trower, although Stevie Ray Vaughan once said he was fixated on the darker side of Hendrix. I can see where he was coming from, but I think Trower made it work for himself. Got the album of him with Jack Bruce recently - not their best work ever, but has some good points.
Me, I'm mostly listening to anything and everything by Rory Gallagher at the moment. Got myself "The Best of Taste"; the first two albums under his own name, which amazingly I hadn't heard; "Notes From San Franciso"; and "The Beat Club Sessions". I'm trying to learn to play his (electric guitar) style at the moment, including tackling slide guitar in standard tuning - he was definitely a master of this! Got the rhythm parts from about 18 tracks down, and have figured out some of his use of sliding double-stops, pinched harmonics etc. Quite obsessed with it all really.
Also picked up on two collaboration albums from Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa. She's a cracking blues singer, and Bonamassa needs no introductions.

Rory Gallagher- hell yes, he was criminally underrated. The solo in 'A Million Miles Away' just about breaks my heart.
Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.
Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl". :'(
Not through choice, obviously.
Heard a snippet of it on the radio 4 days ago and it's been stuck in my head ever since.
Always hated that foccing song.... 'she's been livin' in my downtown world.." arrgh!
Shoot me now.
Thanks
Always had a thing about the tin whistle, saw a local folk band many moons ago and this lass blew the rest of the group into the weeds with a £1.00 instrument.
