You could not yet guess it but this is the new series of articles about Slipknot which is starting on this damn Island of Crisis! This will be about 10 articles to follow and if you listen to real music e.i Slipknot then glue your eyes here often as many things will be revealed. Welcome People!
SLIPKNOT UNLEASHED
Ever had the slight useful time to think what is the meaning behind each Slipknot mask? Instead of targeting your brain onto that sickening earphone of Panasonic(or whatever the hell you use), you better know the meanings. It means!
So you ever thought why Slipknot member wear masks? No not to show their mask of to your eyes! Neither to make you have nightmares at night (as if you still do it when watching weird masks)! Slipknot wear these masks because they do not want The People to look at the body and whatever the hell people like to look in a human. They want you to forget their real face or body to concentrate on the music. The masks…because it also help them switch to their stage personality.
Personality switching…That’s really interesting you know? You don’t? You don’t tweak yourself enough then! You should try it..it helps a damn lot!
As you already know (if you are a fan) or if you are just learning it right now, Slipknot has 9 members. They are Sid Wilson, Joey Jordison, Paul Gray, Chris Fehn, Jim Root, Craig Jones, Shawn Crahan, Mick Thomson, and Corey Taylor. More about them? Sure the articles are coming soon for each one of them! For now let us see the real meaning behind their masks. The masks have been subject to evolution over the years but at the core of them, they each have some basic meaning.
| Corey Taylor – His mask represent h@te and the pain exhibited in a dummy who could not shout it out for so much time! |
|
| Mick Thompson – His mask simply means H@te and his most recent one mean a hatred that has become more fierce! |
 |
| Shawn Crahan – The clown! His mask represent his own death! He wants it funny. |
 |
| Craig Jones – His mask mean absolute pain! |
 |
| Jim Root – His mask means the prankster! Simply his other side. |
 |
| Chris Fehn – He has about 5 different masks. He is mostly known as the long nose! The meaning? He says even he does not know about it yet! So how can I know!! |
 |
| Paul Gray – Paul’s mask represent black death and breathing problem! Why? You will see it in the coming respective post! |
 |
| Joey Jordison – Joey mask represent the emotionless! He says that once his own mother wore a mask similar to this on Haloween after being drunk! Emotionless can either really be with no emotion or even hiding real emotion! |
 |
| Sid Wilson – It is said that he is the craziest of the band! His oxygen mask supposedly show his disliking of the Oxygen element. In its absence for short time he make hallucinations. |

Man!
slipknot is just so fu*king cool!
Been really interested to know more abt the mask worn by
mike!!
like a lot his crazy picking style and yeah, his mask is very much compatible
with the IBANEZ!!!
i do really believe in this ‘personality switching’ thing! bcauz
maybe without these masks slipknot would not have been abl to
carry out such sensation they created among all youngsters around the world,
No i’m not saying that they got fame just bcauz of these masks(they r fu*king talented!), but by wearing a mask you’ll b able to push all your fu*king limit,
u’ll not remain a simple guitarist on stage, but a real lead picking monster!!!!!!!

@priscus, The mask did make the difference in their show-type. However they got real talent too. The masks are just the boost. Their talent rocks.

what really made the contrast between them and other bands,
was the way they played!
this is real BRUTAL metal!!!!!!!!!!
no other bands, at that time was as powerful as them,
i mean, the rapidity of the drums, lightning of the guitar picks
and at the same time being so fu*king melodious!!
wearing these masks was good, but what really captivated fans all these years
was their music!!!!
take me as example, i have been listening to them since about 10 yrs, and still
no 1 could compare their music to other today’s popular bands!!
they created their own genre: BRUTAL METAL!!
it’s same as Kurt Cobain with grunge!
or even Jimi Hendrix’s experimental guitar playing which inspired others!!!

Good article, but so many spelling errors it made it hard to read.
His mask represent his own death! <–represents
His mask mean absolute pain! <— means
Plenty more grammatical errors.
If you are gonna write something and put it where everyone reads it, at least proofread it or have someone else go over it. Other then the above stuff, good article very informative.
