Slipknot

[october_midnight]

Wow, ok so last night Slipknot played an intimate show leaning heavily on old material for 850 people with new masks (heavily influenced by their originals), and debuted Eloy from Sepultura officially as Jay's replacement.

Article with pics and info.

Love the new masks, especially Corey's. It's really good to see him back with the fake dreads.

I will say though, if I had gone to this show I would have been a bit disappointed that the setlist was your average run of the mill greatest hits set. I was under the impression this was going to be a show where they were planning on doing S/T in full.

Damn, this looks pretty great. Love the callbacks, and seeing all of them in those colored jumpsuits is a sight to see.

First time since volume 3 where Corey didn’t have the worst mask. Super tight

This was another band that growing up I could never get into (even when they were the hottest thing in junior high) and I felt only got cheesier as I got older.

Damn man I would have 1000% loaded up a credit card to see Slipknot, Knocked Loose, and Orbit Culture. Goddamn that is such a good lineup. Especially if Slipknot is playing S/T in full every night. Bummer this isn't coming to KC, although it looks like even if it did, Orbit Culture wouldn't be on our date.

I'd kill for a Vol.3 in its entirety show. Seen the knot twice, and would love to see them again, before they decide to hang it up one day.

I saw the Subliminal Verses tour 3 times and between those three shows I'm pretty sure the only songs off of Vol. 3 that wasn't played live were Vermillion 2 and Danger Keep Away. That tour was a BEAST, man. Lamb of God, Shadows Fall, and Dillinger Escape Plan on two of the shows I saw, and then the third had Unearth and Killswitch Engage.

Also saw them perform MOST of S/T in 1999 and that was absolutely insane. I'm so grateful I got to see them on their original 1999-2000 run of shows.

The most recent time I've seen them was on the Gray Chapter tour with Korn. Clown jumped down into the pit at one point and shoved me really hard which was awesome.

Got my tickets for Madison Square Garden!

Ticketmaster presale on now, code is PERFORM

I hope we get a properly mastered version of Vol. 3. Loved that album when it came out, but I can’t listen to it anymore its so damn compressed and muddy compared to every other Slipknot release

Luckyyyyy. I love when they interact with the crowd.

I saw them as well during their 1999-2000 run, and again at Mayhem Festival back in 2008. That was when Sid was in the wheelchair, and you can see his mechanical eyebrows in the sad position, it was quite funny, but I did miss his crazy presence we were all used to on stage.

Setlist for Mayhem Fest:

Tape intro mixed with Iowa/Circle/Danger-Keep Away

Surfacing
The Blister Exists
Get This
Before I Forget
Disasterpiece
Psychosocial
The Heretic Anthem
Prosthetics
Duality
People = Shit
(sic)

Danger-Keep Away is such a creepy little track, it is one of my favorites off the album.

So I was able to hear some, but I want a front to back performance . Also, just realized I started this thread back in 2012... Hot damn it has been a long time.

This is clown from Slipknot. Ask Me Anything... : r/Slipknot (reddit.com)

This is clown from Slipknot. I’ll be answering many of your questions about our 1999 album ‘Slipknot’ and more on June 27 at Noon LA / 3pm NY / 8pm UK / 9pm EU.

Interesting drummer exchange they did... this is like some elaborate NHL player trade.

Jay Weinberg: Slipknot --> Suicidal Tendencies
Greyson Nekrutman: Suicidal Tendencies --> Sepultura
Eloy Casagrande: Sepultura --> Slipknot

[gorast]

I did and still do love Jay's style, but having watched video of Slipknot with Eloy, I can't help but feel that they managed to win out here. That dude plays mad. And his technique is incredible for how hard he's playing. A third perfect fit in a row...

I wish I liked Knocked Loose, but I do not.

We got it. I was there.

[richardp]

Interesting they left Diluted out, but fuck am I jealous that this tour isn't coming to KC. What was it like listening to Mudslide with thousands of other people in a community setting? lolol

I didnt really even notice Mudslide much tbh.

Slipknot was amazing last night at Madison Square Garden! Sad I didn't get to meet @bobbie solo !

Congrats, already saw it on your Instagram. That is some nice work!

[october_midnight]

Thanks so much! Pretty surreal. Now just need another Vancouver date with the S/T setlist!

[ickyvicky]

@october_midnight How does that work, does the band reach out to you or do you reach out to their PR? Just curious from an artist standpoint.

[october_midnight]

I got a message from their PR contact via IG back in May. Was told that the band hand picked 21 artists and gave it to him to reach out to and get the ball rolling. I agreed and eSigned an NDA and got an email a few days later with all the details and assets to use if I wanted (files of the logo, 9 point star, TONS of hi-res band photos etc) And that was that lol.

[ickyvicky]

Wow, that's really interesting! Very cool, congrats again!

[october_midnight]

Stumbled onto this video which is pretty interesting. Especially the second half of backstage, etc. stuff.



Their acct actually has a ton of backstage and soundcheck vids.
