I was gonna submit this but decided not to.

Remember when nobody knew what Slipknot looked like? That was fun.

The only folks I saw without masks were Corey Taylor and Joey Jordison....

Some of the new masks look kinda cool, but overall it's more funny than scary or whatever Spinner wants to suggest there with the Hannibal Lecter and Pinhead reference... :D

I wish I could care about this.
...wait, no I don't.

This whole mask gimmick is getting stupid now.

The only cool band to ever wear masks was Mr. Bungle and they're gone.

Guess this pic needs an update now:

If Danko Jones wanted make Nu-metal, that song wouldnt be far from what they might create. sucks though...

You can find videos of Slipknot without their masks on YouTube. Simply type in, ''Slipknot Unmasked''.

Everyone except for Craig has appeared without their masks.

I actually like the new look for Joey a lot. And Psychosocial is a pretty decent song. I'm actually looking forward to this album, so sue me. All Hope Is Gone shows that Slipknot can write a rhythmically challenging tune with it's weird time signatures.
I'm not completely writing this off yet...

haha i like the huge Easter Island-style masks, they should stick with those for novelty value alone

new song blows btw

The article claims the masks recall horror movies. Which horror movies, exactly? Killer Klowns from Outer Space? Horror of Party Beach? Now that I think of it, having one of those band members wearing a mask that had a mouth full of hot dogs would be grotesquely, ironically hilarious. I mean, come one! The punchline would write itself!

The new masks are pretty cool. Clowns one is awesome but coreys one kinda sucks. the single is pretty good but not as good as all hope is gone

I've seen all 9 member unmasked at one time or another, including craig, although it was only once.

Anyways, new masks are pretty much the same, corey#'s is lulzworthy though, same as the new songs.

Hey wait, they're actually quite good. Better at least..

New masks look dumb...new song is so-soThis Message Edited On 07.01.08

I love how these guys cater to 14 year old, angst ridden, faggot teenagers.

I predict that by the next album, James will have come out of the closet, and his mask will fully reflect that.

I lol'd at the huge ones

Since when have his vocals not sucked total ass?

As opposed to extreme metal, which appeals to... 16 year old, angst ridden, faggot teenagers!

Slipknot is great. Masks are cool.

Pyschosocial is actually a pretty good track, way better than All Hope is Gone. And the masks are pretty cool, gimmicky or not.

I'd like to know if they're still going to be wearing the individually numbered boiler suits. THAT was gimmicky.
I like the new masks, they're cool escalations of the past ones. Fuck me, Clown is a psychopath.

i think i may be the only one who thinks that the masks aren't entirely gimmicky. sure, they're there to attract attention, but they've been wearing the masks ever since their first album debuted almost 10 years ago. if they really were all about gimmicks or money, i think they'd try to ween the masks out of their act sooner or later (like kiss and mudvayne). it's gotta be a pain in the ass to put those masks on for every show/interview/outing that the band has.

BTW, i think the two new songs are cool, and i can't wait for this album. i personally liked corey's mask the best.

they made nothing better than IOWA. Joey is real fugly under that mask ahaha

^^^ subliminal verses would like a word with you.
