About: Sid is the sarcastic one of the band. He has also got to be one the craziest ones. During concerts he likes to jump of of high things either into the crowd, or to in front of his setup. He has a rivalry with bandmate shawn, you can see them fighting at various times during shows. Sid is the youngest member of the band and can be described as a "ladies man". He claims to suffer from "organic Brain Syndrome". When sid was born he had a 6th finger on each of his hands, they were later amputated off. Sids hobbies include: Snowboarding, Sculpting with clay, and cooking. When asked who he would like to tour/do a show with, he replied "It wouldn't go in with the genre of Slipknot, but me personally, it would be the Beastie Boys. At the point where I got into DJing, break dancing and hip hop, the Beastie Boys were a big part of that . I have always listened to them."

These are sids answers when asked these questions:

Best Concert: The first time I saw Slipknot. I was going to try out for the band, so I went to a show here in Des Moines, Iowa. This was a few years ago. When I saw them, I knew I had to be in this band.

First Concert: When I was three years old, my family went to the Iowa State Fair and saw Sheena Easton.

Performance: Most recently was our last London show. They had this huge balcony twenty-five feet high. I stood on top of the railing and jumped off backwards with my body straight and my arms out to the side. The crowd caught me.

Moment in the studio: I think Purity. There was a lot of emotion, vibing up each other, and taking it to the next level. It just kind of happened.

Rumours: Sid has two nick names "ratboy(because of his ratty hair)" and "monkeyboy(because of how he acts on stage)". Sid is rumored to have masturbated in a corner of a room on the Howard Stern show.

Sid uses many tracks in songs from the UK DJ, "Tricky" (rumored).

Previous bands/side projets: Sid also works by the name of "DJ Starscream" , He had previously released "Back 2 Da Jungle", Volumes 1 to 3 and he also did some work with other DJs. Sid is currently working on a new CD, the publisher was going to be 1500 records however they have gone out of business and thus the CD has been postponed BUT WILL be released through Sound Proof Coalition in the future, he will be working on this during the Ozzfest tour 2001 of Europe and the US. There is also a rumor that Sid has been talking to "Necro" form Brooklyn NY about rapping on his solo album which is due for release towards the end of the year. There may also be a guest appearance by B-Real of Cypress Hill but as of yet this is unconfirmed; it is in the planning stages.
