History

Early years (pre-1998)

Early formations of a band were beginning to form as early as 1992 with the core band members, drummer Shawn Crahan, vocalist Anders Colsefini, and bassist Paul Gray enlisting the help of guitarists Donnie Steele and Quan "Meld" Nong. Michael Shawn Crahan (born September 24, 1969) also known as Clown, or by his number #6, is an American Musician Paul Dedrick Gray (born April 8, 1972) also known by his number #2, is an American Musician known as the Bassist [5]

In September 1995, the band The Pale Ones was created comprising Crahan on drums, Gray on bass, Colsefini on vocals and guitarist Steele. [6] Joey Jordison joined the band shortly after, taking up the role of drummer and, subsequently, Crahan moved to percussion. Nathan Jonas "Joey" Jordison (born April 26, 1975) is an American musician songwriter and Record producer. [7] The band continued to develop their vision of what the band would be, deciding to add a second guitarist, recruiting Josh "Gnar" Brainard and moving Colsefini to percussion along with lead vocals. [8] The band played their first live performance under the name of Meld on December 4, 1995 at a club called Crowbar in Des Moines.

When used in conversation grotesque commonly means strange fantastic ugly or bizarre and thus is often used to describe weird shapes and distorted forms such as Halloween A mask is an artefact normally worn on the face typically for protection concealment performance or amusement [11] Up until this point, the band had remained mainly obscured due to their desire to wait until their music was fully developed.

Jungle music can mean Drum and bass - the current term used to encompass the entire musical genre of jungle and drum & bass Oldschool jungle Roni Size (born Ryan Williams, October 29, 1969 in Bristol) is a British music producer and DJ who came to prominence [82][83]

Slipknot has an extreme performance style provided by their large line-up featuring a typical heavily down-tuned guitar set-up (lead, rhythm, and bass guitars),[84] two percussionists in addition to the primary drummer, and electronics (samplers and turntables). Guitar tunings are differing pitch arrangements of open (unfretted strings used for the Guitar. Robert Cherry of Rolling Stone compared the band's sound to "a threshing machine devouring a military drum corps. "[3]

Their early work hosted a large range of vocal styles, ranging from rapping to occasional singing to growled vocals. cf Death rattle, a sound sometimes made by the dying A death growl, also known as death metal vocals, gutteral vocals [84] In more recent work, this vocal style remains present, but now includes more melodic singing. [49] The lyrics generally follow a very aggressive tone and feature themes such as darkness, nihilism, anger, disaffection, love, misanthropy and psychosis. Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing is a philosophical position that argues that Existence is without objective meaning Purpose Anger is an emotional state that may range from minor irritation to intense rage Love is any of a number of Emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong Affection. Misanthropy is a general dislike distrust or hatred of the Human species or a disposition to dislike and/or distrust other people Psychosis (from the Greek ψυχή "psyche" for mind or soul and -οσις "-osis" for abnormal condition with adjective psychotic [17][49] Rick Anderson of All Music Guide regards the group's lyrics as "not generally quotable on a family website". [31] There has been controversy surrounding Slipknot's lyrics, including a case in which a pair of young killers blamed the lyrics from the song "Disasterpiece" for their vicious crime[85] and a case in 2006 in which lyrics from the song "Surfacing" were found at the site of a grave robbing. [86] However, the band has never faced any serious allegations that their lyrics may incite violent or criminal behaviour.

Image and identities

It's our way of becoming more intimate with the music. It's a way for us to become unconscious of who we are and what we do outside of music. It's a way for us to kind of crawl inside it and be able to use it.

— Corey Taylor on the masks[87]

The band is known for its attention-grabbing image, the members wear matching uniform jumpsuits and homemade masks. Corey Todd Taylor (born December 8, 1973) also known by his number #8, is an American Musician known as the vocalist Jumpsuit originally referred to the utilitarian one-piece garments used by parachuters and skydivers, but has come to be used as a common term for any one-piece [17] In the past, their jumpsuits have featured large UPC barcodes printed on the back and sleeves, which are identical to the barcode on their album, Mate. The Universal Product Code ( UPC) is a barcode symbology (ie a specific type of Barcode) that is widely used in the United States and A bar code (also barcode) is an optical Machine-readable representation of data Feed. Kill. Repeat. [27] Aside from their real names, members of the band are referred to by numbers zero through eight. [17]

With each new album, Slipknot has attained new masks and coveralls. [88][89] The masks haven't changed dramatically with the release of their second and third albums, as the masks are more of an extension of what they previously were. Jordison addressed the issue in an interview in 2004, stating that the change in masks are to show growth and difference within age. [90] During the music video and live performances of their single "Vermilion" the band change their respective masks to death masks made from casts of their own faces. In Western cultures a death mask is a Wax or Plaster cast made of a person's face following Death. [91] Also in 2004, Gray claimed that the special effects company Screaming Mad George made their masks from their third album cycle,[92] and pictures of the band's masks from their second album cycle can be found on the SMG website. The illusions used in the Film, Television, Theater, or Entertainment industries to simulate the imagined events in a story are traditionally called [93]

The masks have been subject of much criticism, generally thought of as a gimmick to try sell their product. In marketing language a gimmick is a unique or quirky special feature that makes something "stand out" from its contemporaries [94] The band however strongly object these claims, proclaiming that the masks are used to draw the attention away from themselves and to the music. [95] Several members have said how the masks are a visual representation of how the music makes them feel and how they put the members in an animal-like mentality. [90][45] The coveralls and numbers are an extension of their anti-image concept they created with the masks. [27] The integrity of the masks is also a topic of criticism as band members have appeared outside of Slipknot without the masks. The issue has been addressed by most band members, percussionist Crahan specifically addressed the issue during an interview on The Sauce when discussing the release of their 2006 DVD Voliminal: Inside the Nine, proclaiming that the masks are always going to be part of the Slipknot show. The Sauce is a daily live interactive show on Fuse TV. "It's known for anyone whose life is rooted in (but not limited to music" [96]

The band's image has sparked controversy over the years. Some of the controversy comes from the band Mushroomhead, who, along with their fans, claim that Slipknot stole their image. Mushroomhead is a band from Cleveland, Ohio. Formed in 1993 the band’s music can be described as a Synthesis of alternative [97] In 2005, another source of controversy was the band's lawsuit against Burger King, claiming that company created the advertising based band Coq Roq to capitalize on Slipknot's image. Burger King ( often abbreviated to Coq Roq, also spelled COQ ROQ, and pronounced "Cock Rock" is an advertising program created to promote international Fast food restaurant chain [98] The band's lawyer claimed that Burger King had contacted the band's label to get Slipknot to take part in "advertising campaign designed to motivate young people to vote". [99] Burger King responded to the suit with a countersuit, and in that suit pointed out that many other bands, such as Mudvayne, Kiss, and GWAR have used masks as part of their image, although after private discussions the advertising campaign was dropped. A counterclaim is made by the Defendant to a civil proceeding, in a main action against the Plaintiff or against the plaintiff and other people Mudvayne is an American metal band from Peoria, Illinois formed in 1996 Kiss (also typeset as KISS) is an American rock band formed in New York City in December 1972 GWAR is An advertising campaign is a series of Advertisement messages that share a single idea and theme which make up an integrated marketing communication (IMC [98][99]
