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.
