Slipknot biography

Lastfm Slipknot in per. Their albums received the status of platinums, and the songs from all their albums were nominated for Grammy, in the categories of "Best Hevi-Meal-Composition" and "Best Hard Rroke-Composition". They won Grammy in the “Best Metal Equipment” nomination for the song “Before I Forget” on one of the winter days of the beginning of the year in the US de-Minen, Anders Kolzefini helped his friend Wujon Crahan in welding and, having talked, decided to form a group with him.

Sean and Anders were drummers, and they decided that their team would have a stunning sound of percussion. And according to their idea in the future group, there should be 3 drummers. A little later, the welder Sean called Los Angeles to his friend Paul Gray and the future bassist of the group and asked if he wanted to play in the group. He agreed. The minimum composition of the group was typed.

In these songs there was a great abundance of percussion, and it attracted the attention of the listener as much as the guitar of VO many other metal groups. For each song, then there were about two versions. But in the year Sean had other concerns, and they forgot about the project. In the year, Paul, Sean and Anders decided to restore their group. He took the place of solo guitar, and the rhythm of the guitar section was taken by Kwan Nong, who came from the Heads on the Wall group.

Already in February, the Kwan Nong left the team. Soon, Shonu was tired of being a leading drummer, and in May he took Joei Jordison into a group. Joei was a leading drummer in the team, and Sean decided to set various interesting sounds of percussion and crackling. He took advantage of his profession of the welder and he cooked his little drums. Also in September, the rhythm-player Josh Brainard from Modifidious joined the group.

At the very beginning of its existence, the group rehearsed in the basement of Anders Kolzefini. The musicians played their songs in the soundproof "Pet Croming Center". They contained animals with the problems of the bladder, so that everything was stinking of animal urine. The basement was very small and was not convenient for musicians. This performance took place in November.

Around the same time, the group was renamed Slipknot Rus. And then they decided to perform in masks. The group also had their own rules: 1. They played only what they wanted and only as they wanted. The group should have 3 drummer. The main goal of the group was to create such a music that no one had heard yet, such a spectacle that no one had yet seen.

In the end, they had a mission, "clear the musical industry." Slipknot did a huge job, developing music, developing the lyrics, and the concept of the group. When the music and everything else was ready, all visits to them at a rehearsal ceased. Participants even forbade their girls to come to them. This has become part of the philosophy of the team. No one had to know what is happening inside the group.

The group began to prepare material for its first demo disk and simultaneously performed in the clubs of De-Minen. Slipknot often performed in clubs, as well as in striptease bars, but many people did not like what Slipknot played and the audience was very cool towards them, often this attitude was negative. But they still continued to play their direction. In such cases, the musicians said right from the stage: “Come on.

Yes, fall to hell, ”and gradually they put their way with such pressure. By the year, the team had enough material to record a demo. The album was independently recorded at the expense of the finance of the group members and was published on Halloween on October 31 of the year limited to copies called Mate. The album came out very experimental, even one can say too experimental.

As the musicians themselves later said: "We did not play music, but a salad of music." Despite this, the album expanded the popularity of Slipknot, the group began to go to concerts out of town. By that time, Slipknot participants realized that they hastened with a demo disk record and decided to record a new CD consisting of old but converted songs and some new ones. During the preparation of the album, the group members met the vocalist of the Stone Sour Curi Taylor.

There Kory worked three years before he became a Slipknot vocalist. In May, they invited Kory to the role of the second vocalist in Slipknot, and he agreed. The group members liked the vocals of the second vocalist of Corey so much that they invited Anders to give in to the vocalist’s place, and to become in the place of the back-vocalist and the backup.

Anders was very offended, but sang several songs with Corey as a back vocalist. At one of the concerts in June, he publicly turned and left, performing the song “Heartache Pair of Scissors” in the end. The group turned out to be cornered in the fact that I had to rewrite all the old songs recorded with Anders. And if we take into account the fact that Anders had a rude voice and he constantly practiced grows, and Corey had always sang with pure vocals, then the group was very difficult.There was another problem within the team, the new vocalist of Corey Taylor was not eager to devote his time to Slipknot Bolshenitovo, since he had his own group of Stone Sour.

Then Sean, Joey and Mick threatened Corey that they would fire him from a sex shop, to the work in which they arranged him. After that, Kory had to leave the main group for him and take care of his new group seriously. Soon, the group refused to wear ordinary clothes at concerts and switched to their “uniform”. The musicians began to wear working overalls.

He replaced Anders percussion and sang a little lever instead of Anders. GREG WELTS did not stay long and left the group in June to work in his tattoo site in the state of South Dakota called “The Ultimate Prick”. He was replaced by Brandon Darner. But he also quickly left and was replaced by Chris Feng in August Crowz was supposed to be published on October 31, that is, exactly a year after the release of Mate.

But this did not happen. After many rewrites and the change of half the composition of the group, the guys decided not yet to publish a record. In October, Sid Wilson came to the group as a DJ. In the same year, the group members began to look for a producer and a recording label to record their debut album. At that time, they had many difficult times with recording labels, and the companies that came to the show were scared.

Then there was a well -known quote: “If this is the future of music, then I want to be dead” and the group answered the following words: “We are the future and go to the fuck to kill you.” The manager worked at the radio stations in De-Moin. Their manager gave her to Ross, and he liked her. The group forced Ross to rush on the coldest day of the year to look at them rehearsing in the house of Sean Crahan.

In the year, the group finally signs a contract with the sound recording company Roadrunner Records and records the debut album of the same name under the leadership of the producer Ross Robinson. The tour went through America and touched a little Canada where they played a couple of concerts. Then Slipknot conducted the World Domination Tour lasting from December to July G. Tour passed through the countries of the world.

During this time, the disc was dispersed by a circulation of more than 1 copies, the team immediately stood on a par with the most famous metallistic teams. Having played a concert tour, the group rested for two months and settled in the studio to record a second album. The recording lasted from January to March only with four free days. In April, the song “The Heretic Anthem” was played at a press conference, which reflected the change in the musical direction of the group towards Det-Metal.

In the summer of the year, the group pleased all its fans with a second studio album called IWA. The music of the group was noticeably heavier and leaned closer to Det-Metal. The disk immediately made his debut in third place in Billboard and in the first in English charts, despite its severity. In support of the album, the group arranged a world tour of Pledge of Allegiance, which lasted about 1.5 years.

In August, the group starred in the film "Rollerbol" where shows how Slipknot perform on stage with the song I Am Hated, which entered the soundtrack for this film. In November, the group released a DVD called Disasterpieces.

After the tours, the group members unexpectedly ran around the site projects. Almost every participant began to play in some other group. There was a lull, many fans did not even hope to hear Slipknot again thinking that the group had broken up. In March, Corey Taylor, who was heated by the Stone Sour site’s wealth, in his interview with the Belgian magazine AardSchok said that the meeting with Son Crahen was the worst in his life, and Slipknot is the worst thing in the history of mankind.

Also in another interview, Kory said that over the past half years, besides Jim, he spoke only to one member of the group. Corey said that Slipknot will release another album will conduct a tour and disperse. He said that the group is already inappropriate: to stay on stage after they became inappropriate? Never, I will never allow this to happen with the group, for which I was bleeding and almost blinded to one eye once the ill -wishers launched an iron bar and fell into the eye, not to mention a torn voice.

By this, he provoked many rumors regarding the collapse of the group. However, in fact, the situation turned out to be easier: the fact is that the team broke up with their managers from the production company No Name Management, and the producers did not fail to predict the project of an ambulance without their paternal supervision. However, the group believed that she was quite able to cope with the situation.

They announced that they were working on their new album, and on May 17 their European tour begins.
