Slipknot : Inside the Sickness, Behind the Masks
Slipknot - Book - by Jason Arnopp
(2001)
"The
only plan right now is to kill everybody" Joey Jordison, drummer
Ignoring every rule in the book and more besides, Slipknot are a
notoriously controversial band who combine a talent for outrage with
their music. Reminiscent of the outlandishness of punk, 'nu metal' has
become the fastest growing area in rock, with Slipknot selling over 2
million copies of their debut album. And yet Slipknot spit, swear and
risk injury night after night in their extraordinary live performances.
Incredibly,
their apparel of masks and boiler suits, which they refuse to remove,
means that their fans still do not know what they look like. Jason
Arnopp, the first British journalist to interview Slipknot face to mask,
describes the transformation of the Des Moines crew into unorthodox
mega stars. Featuring an introduction by the legendary Gene Simmons of
Kiss, this biography will be the first published on the band either in
the UK or America and will include exclusive interviews and in-depth
information on the mysterious nine masked men.
