| Slipknot- what words come to mind? If you know them then the words, Hard, Heavy, Crazy, and oh yes "People = Shit". Slipknot has crawled out of the corn fields of Iowa and proved to be of the heaviest bands ever. With 9 members, Slipknot hits with all the force of a Mack truck. each member has a number and wears a mask. In 1999, Slipknot began to "Spread the (SIC)ness with their self-titled album. Slipknot sold over 1,000,000 copys with almost no MTV or radio play. There out of control stage shows and word of mouth spread the Slipknot phenomenon. soon, Maggots (Slipknot's name for their fans) were popping up everywere and Slipknot was on the cover of almost every magazein on earth. In 2001, Slipknot lunched round two with there ultra-heavy follow up album "Iowa". "Iowa", was darker and better than there first album. after there second stint on Ozz-Fest, Slipknot lunched their first headlining arena tour with System of a down (which I was able to go to). can anything stop Slipknot? The world may never know. |
