Slipknot |
en | |  1) Slipknot is a nine-man nu metal band from Des Moines, Iowa (United States). Aside from their real names, members of the band are also referred to by numbers 0 through 8.(#0 Sid, #1 Joey, #2 Paul, #3 Chris, #4 James, #5 Craig, #6 Shawn, #7 Mick & #8 Corey)
Slipknot is currently one of the most popular musical bands of the contemporary music scene with violent stage performances. Their albums and home videos have achieved Platinum-sales status, with Grammy indications in the "Best Heavy Metal" and "Best Hard Rock" categories for songs from all three of their albums. They recently won the 2006 Grammy for Best Metal Performance with their song 'Before I Forget'.
The band is also known for its strange and often frightening image; the members wear matching uniform jumpsuits (most of which have UPC barcodes printed on them) and each has a unique mask which they are never seen without untill the Voliminal interviews. Each member has made a distinct change to their masks after each studio album. Several members have several masks that are interchanged during any one time period, most notably Chris (3) and Sid (0).
The band also released a DVD 'Disasterpieces' (named after the song off 'Iowa') filmed at the London Arena on Febuary 16th 2002 by over 32 cameras, including cameras fitted on each of the masks worn by the band. During this show Sid (0) went into the crowd for the song Spit it Out and someone managed to get the camera from his mask, it was returned after the show.
They have also released a new DVD called Voliminal: Inside the 9. It contains a unique look at the band and their life. It also contains music videos, live performances and interviews with the band members. (Which they appear unmasked.)
Slipknot is NOT broken up, they are simply on hiatus. They will return sometime in 2008 with a new album and touring.Links Slipknot, muslib.ru (рус.)Version Wed, 28 Feb 2007 10:28:50 +0300
