Thank you for your thought, Captain Incoherency.

I think the masks are ****ing awesome.

I remember seeing posts that The Joz made asking for face shots of Craig.I think this video shows the best shot of his yet.Check it out.Craig is the guy at 1:10.

The only reason you think that is because if anyone gives Corey Taylor a say in an interview he spouts his mouth off uncontrollably.

I should sticky a thread that just says this (I've said at least 20 times):

The reason they wear masks is because one day Shawn brought a clown mask to practice for ****s, probably to try and be funny. Shawn realized it was much easier to play behind a mask because instead of looking at Shawn and him playing, you look at a clown, and when you realize that you're a little less nervous. The other members caught on and soon they were doing shows in all sorts of costumes. They all soon picked their own masks and that's how it's been ever since.

Corey and the others stuck to the story of "emotions" and BS because it sounded a lot better than "Uh...we play better at shows with them because...**** I don't know".

[QUOTE=born_into_darkness]I think the masks are ****ing awesome.[/QUOTE]


They are incredibly original,. and do add character to the band

Didn;t they split up for a bit, and Corey went with the Murderdolls to record their new album?

corey didn't went to murderdolls.
but other members of slipknot did (witch one i don't know )
corey went to his old band named stonesour. (also an great band)

I wasn't really into Slipknot at all untill this year when i seen them at the Big Day Out (Aussie Festival) in January. The show i seen was amazing and have loved their stuff since. Self Titled Slipknot is the best in my opinion, Iowa is awsome and i reckon the stuff on Vol 3 sounds a lot less, raw...

It's a gimic buddy I dont have to wright an essay to figure it out, and you just say it isnt a gimic cause your a big fan, but its a gimic, and a real band doesn't need to atract people with masks but instead with there music.

Learn to argue.

Don't just say "Oh, I know it's a gimmick, it's obvious". Give a reason why it is. I gave the true story behind it. Prove it wrong or just admit you were quick to judge and be mature.

Most bands have gimmicks.Masks, or no masks.

Alright cause that was the first impression of the band, that they needed a catch to sell there music and attract a crowd, and Slipknots best reason for there idea according to you, sliptallica essey man, is that "duhhhh, we play better with them" I'm not saying there bad or anything but I think there image is kinda gimicy don't like loose your pants over it man just giving my opinion.

If you didn't expect someone to argue back, you shouldn't have said anything.

My point is the original idea behind the masks wasn't so people will buy there stuff. It just turned out that some idiot kids thought that they were a good reason and it turned out that way.

I have a big hunch by the next time they hit the recording studio, they wont have masks on anymore. There new style doesn't seem right with the masks. It did with the Nu-metal material though.

Whatever you say man but I think they should loose the masks, cause I band should rely on the music not the image of there band and what they look like
