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.

    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
