– Slipknot Tells Tourmates Get Out Of Our Way Its Our Show – Controversial Band Merchandise – Are They Here To Kill You?

VH1 interview
At the end they say “You can’t fight that?”
hhhmmmmmmmmmm – I agree and here is why!
I’ll be honest, I wasn’t a big fan of Slipknot until now
but at least I won’t fall asleep writing about them.

It’s another one of those eerie pics on the Slipknot site.

(Read All Slipknot Articles) – Slipknot has posted yet another bizarre image on the front of their website.

The picture once again features one of our friends with the massive head/mask, this time wearing a black shirt and trousers and standing outside a shed and what appears to be some sort of tower.

Slipknot are yet to confirm an album title or release date for their new album but they will be hitting the UK as part of this year’s Reading and Leeds festivals from August 22nd-24th of 2008.

This is for all those saying things about the band members supporting other bands or projects and not Slipknot alone…..

Speaking about Jason Newstead’s departure from Metallica:

What does this mean?

Control is always an issue. With the varied members of Slipknot free to explore other venues and outlets, free from repercussions, it makes a stronger group at the end of the day. No one is as much of an ass as Hetfield was at that time.

Slipknot’s Clown Tells Rockstar Tourmates ‘Get Out Of Our Way’; Plus Danzig, SikTh & More News That Rules, In Metal File’It’s our show, and we’re here to kill you,’ percussionist Shawn Crahan warns.

This summer, Des Moines, Iowa’s own Slipknot — along with Disturbed, Mastodon, DragonForce, Machine Head, the Red Chord, Suicide Silence and a handful of others — will be taking part in the inaugural run of Warped Tour mastermind Kevin Lyman’s Rockstar Energy Mayhem festival (otherwise known as the tour that effectively immobilized Sharon Osbourne‘s long-running Ozzfest). Clown’s band is also known for having the most controversial Slipknot band merchandise.

But Slipknot percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan doesn’t care what you call Lyman’s latest brainchild, so long as you understand that it’s not a festival at all — it’s a Slipknot tour, plain and simple.

“It’s a bunch of bands opening for Slipknot,” Crahan told Metal File last week, during a brief break from the studio, where the band is working on its fourth, still-untitled LP, which should arrive in stores by summer’s end. “We’re headlining, as it should be. Sorry — it’s a Slipknot show, kids. We’ve been gone for two years, and you’ve all had the chance to do what you’re going to do. But now we’re back; step in line. That’s what’s up. We’re the DNA that keeps whatever cell this is moving. Period.

“With me, I’ve been out with a lot of bands, and I don’t care,” he continued. “We’re back, and it just happens to be this thing called the Rockstar Energy Mayhem festival. That’s cool. But we didn’t want them, they wanted us. Everyone wants our f—ing money and our kids. We’re playing a show, and a bunch of great bands are playing too. But we’re back, so get out of our way. Call it what you will, but we’re headlining. It’s our show, and we’re here to kill you.”

And he’s not kidding. Crahan said he’s keyed up for Slipknot’s return to the stage, following two years of hibernation, and promises that this summer, the boys will preview some of the new material they’ve been working on since early February.

“We’re going to cast some magical spells, and you’re going to get more than you can choke on,” he said. “Slipknot is a philosophy, a way of life. We’re a great band, and if you don’t know that, I don’t know what you know. We’ve been doing it longer than most bands can, and no one has done it harder than us.”

According to Crahan, Slipknot brought an abundance of songs into the studio and is nearing the completion of the effort, under the direction of producer Dave Fortman (Mudvayne, Superjoint Ritual). And while he wouldn’t go into detail about the LP (frontman Corey Taylor said in a recent interview with Billboard that the album would “rip your face off”), he scoffed at the suggestion that it’s the band’s heaviest offering to date.
