 Corey is the master of the horrid vocals and lyrics in Slipknot. Before he joined the band, he worked in a porn shop to earn money. On stage he is loud, fast, and out of control. Offstage, he seems very calm and down to Earth. Quote - "We aren't hiding behind these masks, we're actually revealing more to you than you might think. The mask I wear brings out all the sh*t inside me that I hate. Plus it hurts like hell, which helps my intensity." Mask - Leatherface cover, with brown/blonde dreads. Yes, the dreads are made of his real hair. From what I hear, he used to wear them through the mask, but he cut them off due to infection. Mick Thompson - Guitar (7) Nickname - Log Mick is the lead guitarist of the band. Hes huge, as you can see. He claims to be a fan of serial killers, but yet he loves cats. Quote - If I were a famous killer, I'd take some of the finer points of quite a few of them - Albert Fish and Ed Gein spring to mind. But I'm not a violent person by nature. Don't f*ck with me, and you'll be fine." Mask - Hockey mask, made of what looks like to be metal. Shawn Crahan - Custom Percussion (6) Nickname - Kong Shawn adds an interesting sound to Slipknot. His drumset is made of titanium. He made it himself, because he has a background in welding, and hes good at it. Shawn starts a good amount of fights on stage, when hes not playing (another awesome thing about Slipknot), and has a sort of rivalry with Sid. Shawn is also one of the co-founders of Slipknot with Paul (2). Quote - "I've wanted to be a clown because theres something nice about me, and something pretty twisted as well. If someone stares at me on my way to the stage, I don't get up until the look away first." Mask - A Clown mask that he has had for quite some time. Craig Jones - Media/Samples (5) Nickname - 133mHz So you're wondering how the sound in the very beginning of the CD is made, huh? Well, thats made by Craig, the sampler. He puts some crazy twists on the CD by adding sounds from movies on such into the music. From what I hear, Craig (nicknamed 133mHz) is also the webmaster of the official Slipknot sites. I have talked to Craig, hes really cool and down to Earth. Quote - "Sometimes, when we are working our way up to the stage, we'll shove our way through the crowd. When people see me coming, they mostly get out of the way. But sometimes they don't..." Mask - He wears a "diver's" (actually a gas station helmet) with nails (spikes) coming out of the top. James Root - Guitarist(4) Nickname - The Peach James is the newest member of the band. He joined Slipknot during the recording of the CD. James is one of my favorite members of the band. Quote - "The guys chose this mask to tame me (referring to his old bondage hood). Joining this band takes a little getting used to. I was a timid guy before I joined them. Now I'm a freak! Am I as borderline psychotic as the rest? Ask me in a month!" Mask - He now wears a court jester/demon mask. In my opinion, it has got to be one of the coolest masks of the band. Chris Fehn- Custom Percussion (3) Nickname - Mr. Picklenose Chris is known as the soft spoken joker of the band. I mean, really... how could he not be with that mask? Quote - "This mask reflects my comic personality. Plus I chose it for the bondage factor. When you put it on, it takes you to another place. Its very hot, its very tight, and it hurts - that goes along with the aggresion we create." Mask - Chris wears a bondage type Pinnochio mask, with a nose about 7-8 inches long. Paul Grey- Bass (2) Paul is the co-founder of Slipknot with Shawn (6). Seems to be a friendly person, with an indulgent personality. Quote - "When we go to radio stations for interviews, we wear the masks and never fail to freak people out. Are the masks a fetish thing? I'm definately into that stuff. Des Moines definately has more than its fair share of freaks!" Mask - Paul wears a pig's face mask with its septum peirced. Joey Jordison- Drums (1) Joey is my favorite member of Slipknot. He is an UNBELIEVABLE drummer. He's talkative, diminutive, and just really down to Earth (I've talked with him before). Quote - "Ross (Robinson) is insane! Once, when we were recording here, he threw a potted plant at me. It exploded on the wall over my head and the dirt went in my mouth. It was awesome!" Mask - Joey wears an expressionless Japanese mask. Sid Wilson - Turntables (0) Nickname - Monkeyboy Sid is a sick son of a B. Hes really sarcastic, and he claims he suffers from 'organic brain syndrome'. Sid and Shawn (6) maintain a rivalry, which usually breaks out as violence on stage. Quote - "Wearing this mask prevents the oxygen from going to my skull. I get hallucinations and stuff. Half the time, I don't know whats going on around me. Its up to the clown to intimidate me and keep me in line." Mask - Sid wears a war-like gasmask. The band has 3 different color jumpsuits. Red, black, and blue. On the right sleeve is the number of the member, on the left sleeve is the tribal S, on the front left chest is a small barcode, and on the back is a large barcode. If you look closely, you will see that the number in the barcode is the same as the first song on the album. The barcode originated from MFKR. Look at the barcode on the back of the CD case, if you have an original. All their masks were made originally themselves, with the help of a man that has the AIM screen name KingVigo. And yes, the dreads on Corey's mask is partly made out of his own hair. The lyric "you can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes" in Eyeless actually came from a homeless person Corey and Shawn walked by after their first visit to Roadrunner's offices in NY, to try and close a deal. The homeless person was saying the later famous lyric over and over again. Slipknot1.com is maintained by 133mHz (#5), while Slipknot2.com is maintained by Shawn (#6) and a guitar tech for the band. If you happen to noticed on several live pictures taken of the band, underneith some of their masks (Corey and Sid especially), you see black on their skin. Before shows, some of the members of the band use black facepaint to give their actually faces a more morbid look under the masks. The self-titled debut of Slipknot on Roadrunner Records was the most successful record debut the record company has ever had. Not all the members currently in the band were in the band when Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. was released. In fact, the only people that were in the band back then that are still in it today are Joey (#1), Shawn (#6), and Paul (#2). As you probably know, Shawn and Paul were the founders of Slipknot.
