An amazing band from Des Moines, Iowa. They successfully combined rap and
metal in their first album "Slipknot", made it heavier in "Iowa", and changed it to more alternative
metal in "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)" and "All
Hope Is Gone". They each wear masks to express their personality and to show it is about the
music, not the looks. And no, they are not Satanic. They only used Satanic imagery in "Iowa" era concerts for marketing and shock value. Their bassist died back in May, so RIP. This is their lineup:
#0 Sid Wilson - turntables
#
1 Joey Jordison - drums
#2 Paul Gray - bass (RIP)
#3 Chris Fehn - custom percussion, backing vocals
#
4 Jim Root - guitar
#5 Craig "133" Jones - samples, media
#6 Shawn "Clown" Crahan - custom percussion, backing vocals
#7 Mick Thomson - guitar
#8 Corey
Taylor - vocals
