Slipknot

    Slipknot are a friends group, in total are 9, from Des Moines, Iowa, who appeared in final of 90's.

    They became famous due his great musical skills and also its distinct scary masks and industrial coveralls. The members made ​​use of the coveralls and masks to remain anonymous and be only recognized by the music (unlike some artists who only sell in the media due your images). The strategy worked in part, taking into account that Slipknot has become known worldwide because their masks, at least extravagant, but not only, their music are very good too.

    Other mark of this band since the beginning, is have given the "loving" maggots nickname to his fans.

    They are also known by his energetic and chaotic live shows.

    

    Current members:

# 0 - Sid Wilson - DJ
# 1 - Jay Weinberg - drums
# 2 - Donnie Steele - Bass (substitute for Paul Gray after his death in 2010)
# 3 - Chris Fehn - Percussion and backing vocals
# 4 - James Root - Guitar
# 5 - Craig Jones - Sampler & Keyboard (music)
# 6 - Shawn Crahan - Percussion and backing vocals
# 7 - Mick Thomson - Guitar
# 8 - Corey Taylor - Vocals

    Some curiosities:

• The band has three different colors of overalls: red, black and blue. On the right sleeve of clothing has the member number, on the left side the tribal band-shaped "S". The left chest has a small bar code, on the back has an enormous.

• All masks were made by the musicians themselves.

• Before joining the band, vocalist Corey Taylor worked in a sex-shop.

• The percussionist Chris Fehn claims to have seen UFOs in Indigo Ranch.

• The video for "Duality" cost nearly half a million dollars.

• Spit It Out Music was made especially for people who worked on a radio in Des Moines who trying to keep Slipknot off schedule.

• Sid on stage is a great rival of percussionist Shawn. Despite knowing that clown always wins in fights, he has fun doing it. Says that the mask makes it, often, do not knows what is around him and so the shows become true hallucinations, especially when it comes to "fight" with Shawn.

    My favourite songs are:

- Duality

- Psychosocial

- Vermilion 

- Before I Forget

- Snuff

Pearl Jam

    

    One of my favourite bands is Pearl Jam because, I don't know, they songs are good melodies coupled a good lyrics and the voice of Eddie Vedder sounds perfectly in this kind of music style, so that have to be one of my favourite bands.
    In 1990 came the Mookie Blaylock that in November the same year became Pearl Jam, suggested by Vedder,the singer. The musician said the name was a tribute to a jelly with hallucinogenic powers that his grandmother (called Pearl) did.
    Along with Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains and Mother Love Bone, helped popularize the grunge movement, music genre with roots in independent music (indie), being a ramification of hardcore / punk, thrash metal, hard rock and alternative rock. They are considered one of most popular and influential group of 90's.


    Line-up:

    - Eddie Vedder - Vocals and guitar
    - Jef Ament - Bass
    - Matt Cameron - Drums
    - Mike McCready - Solo guitar
    - Stone Gossard - Base guitar
