slipknot
Iowa is best known as "The middle of nowhere." Iowa has never had a singular voice to put it on the musical map since the dawning of rock' n' roll in the early 50's. However, nine young men from Des Moines, wearing industrial coveralls and surrealistic home made masks. They started their own type of music called "L.A. neo metal" also known as "ultra-violence." This type of music is composed of death metal, hip hop, and down-tuned screeching horror. Clockwork Orange is the only band to come even close to sounding like Slipknot. The band member's names are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. As normal people they are Sid Wilson, Joey Jordison, Paul Gray, Chris Fehn, James Root, Craig Jones, Shawn Crahan, Mick Thompson, and Corey Taylor. Each member chose and created their own mask. The members of the band are not defined as individual dew to their number assignments or their masks but dew to their personal instrumental talent. Their line up has changed many times since their start in early 1995. All native Iowans, their rather unassuming, un-happening locale gave the members plenty of space and time to perfect their unusual take on their bond of friendship or as "a family unit."

Craig usually leaves shows early to keep his anonymity. Paul loves to be scared and to scare people. Just as striking visually as they are musically, Slipknot stresses that the visuals do not take precedence over the music. And Mick still gives guitar lessons at Ye old guitar shop in Iowa and has done so for the last eight years. It feels really, really good when we wear our masks for an hour, and then afterwards we take it off, and the first thing we do is go, 'God, what a relief!', but we always seem to put 'em back on after a show and walk around the place. Corey is unmasked on the cover of his old band "Stone Sour", and he called himself "Faith," Faith was his first name and his last name. Only about 2000 copies of Mate Feed Kill Repeat were ever released. He worked in a pornography shop in hometown of Des Moines before joining the band. On the left sleeve is the number of the individual that the suit belongs to. So we just put it on and it started gettin' people, and it just started to turn into this big thing. I'm marketing it up a lot different so it doesn't necessarily look the same.
