Woman Refuses to Let Boyfriend Go to Wedding Where ‘Psychotic’ Ex Is a Bridesmaid
A woman on Reddit explained why she does not want her boyfriend to go to a wedding where his "psychotic" ex-girlfriend is a bridesmaid. "Me and my boyfriend Sam have been together for a year and a half. We broke up last summer for two months but got back together. During our break, Sam met up with his ex-girlfriend Rachel, whom he had dated for four years prior to our relationship. They only met up once, and nothing came of it; however, Rachel still has feelings for Sam and was hoping they would rekindle things.

In case you've ever wondered why there aren't any guitar solos on Slipknot's first album, Mick Thomson has explained why the band opted to cut them out. Heavy music changed in a lot of ways throughout the '90s, especially from the reign of grunge at the start of the decade to the rise of nu-metal by the end of it. Flashy guitar playing was already on its way out in the early '90s, so by the time bands like Slipknot took over, the instrument was used more to keep the rhythm of the song than anything.
