Biography

Slipknot is a metal band from Des Moines, Iowa, formed by vocalist [a=Anders Colsefni], percussionist [a=Shawn Crahan] and bassist [a=Paul Gray (3)] in September 1995. At first, they called themselves "The Pale Ones", then debuted as "Meld" on November 5, 1995, and finally settled on "Slipknot", a suggestion by drummer Jordison. They also performed at least two shows in June 1996 under the moniker "Pygsystem". Since their inception, the band went through various lineup changes and eventually ended up with nine members shortly before their signing to [l34268] in July 1998, to which they remained signed until April 1, 2023. Their best known lineup was completed with the addition of guitarist [a=James Root] in January 1999; it would last until the death of Gray on May 24, 2010, and Jordison's firing on December 12, 2013. Subsequently, Alessandro Venturella and Jay Weinberg were brought in as replacements on bass and drums, respectively. In early 2019, Fehn was fired and replaced by Michael Pfaff. In June 2023, the band announced their split from sampler and keyboarder Craig Jones, whose position was filled by a currently unidentified person. In October that year, they also announced their split from drummer Jay Weinberg; Eloy Casagrande was announced as the group's new drummer in May 2024. Ex-members: [a=Anders Colsefni] - vocals, percussion (September 1995–September 1997) [a=Brandon Darner] - percussion (July–August 1998) [a=Chris Fehn] - percussion (1998–March 2019) [a=Craig Jones (2)] - sampling, keyboards (March 1996–June 2023) [a=Donnie Steele] - lead and rhythm guitars (September 1995–1996), bass guitar (2011–2014) [a=Greg Welts] - percussion (September 1997–July 1998) [a=Joey Jordison] - drums (September 1995–December 2013, † July 2021) [a=Josh Brainard] - lead and rhythm guitars, backing vocals (September 1995–January 1999) [a=Kun P. Nong] - guitar (September 1995, rehearsals only) [a=Paul Gray (3)] - bass guitar (September 1995–† May 2010) [a=Jay Weinberg] - drums (2013–2023)

LYRICS

Half alive and stark raving free in the line front
Croaching on the purpose of this commercial-free interruption
Due to the prolific nature of this statement
Listener aggression is advised
It's strange, whenever I see a gun
I think about just how petty you are
And it blows my fucking mind!
Yeah, it blows my fucking mind!
These days, I never seem to get enough
I'm tired of this shit, I want to go up
Don't waste my fucking time!
Don't waste my fucking time!
Because anything exceptional
Gets crushed by governed people
With jealousy and ignorance
And all that coven equals
This one, it isn't special
Collections made of clay
I'm waiting for the punishment
I know it's on my way

(Cut- cut- cut me up and
Fuck- fuck- fuck me up)
(Cut- cut- cut me up and
Fuck- fuck- fuck me up)
(Cut- cut- cut me up and
Fuck- fuck- fuck me up)
(Cut- cut- cut me up and
Fuck- fuck- fuck me up)
(Cut- cut- cut me up and
Fuck- fuck- fuck me up)

Irreverence is my disease
It's secondhand, but you know me
The son of a bitch is on his knees
The last man standing gets no pity

Somewhere on a toilet wall
I read the words you form along
To form a life, they're for my life
And I find myself a truth
Something so profound and now it's sitting there
Surrounded by the damage of the state
Another victim of the refuse
Now I've been saying this for years
But you don't comprehend it
I fight hell and I fight fear
Because I understand it
Androgeny and insults
Your choice, don't wanna be difficult
You want to win the war?
Know what you're fighting for

(Cut- cut- cut me up and
Fuck- fuck- fuck me up)
Cut- cut- cut me up and
Fuck- fuck- fuck me up!
(Cut- cut- cut me up and
Fuck- fuck- fuck me up)
Cut- (cut) cut- (cut) cut me up and
Fuck- (fuck) fuck- (fuck) fuck me up!
Cut- (cut) cut- (cut) cut me up and
Fuck- (fuck) fuck- (fuck) fuck me up!

Irreverence is my disease
It's secondhand, but you know me
The son of a bitch is on his knees
The last man standing gets no pity
With angel eyes and demon seeds
You're missing what you really need
When all is said and done, you see
The last man standing gets no pity
(No pity)
(No pity)
(No pity)
(No pity)
(No pity)

(Cut- cut- cut me up and
Fuck- fuck- fuck me up)
(Cut- cut- cut me up and
Fuck- fuck- fuck me up)
Cut- (cut) cut- (cut) cut me up and
Fuck- (fuck) fuck- (fuck) fuck me up!
Cut- (cut) cut- (cut) cut me up and
Fuck- (fuck) fuck- (fuck) fuck me up!
Cut- cut- cut me up and
Fuck- fuck- fuck me up!
Cut- cut- cut me up and
Fuck- fuck- fuck me up!
