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

I push my fingers into my eyes...
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache...
But it's made of all the things I have to take...
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside...
If the pain goes on...
Aaaaaaah!

I have screamed until my veins collapsed
I've waited as my time's elapsed
Now, All I do is live with so much fate
I've wished for this, I've bitched at that
I've left behind this little fact:
You cannot kill what you did not create
I've gotta say what I've gotta say
And then I swear I'll go away
But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise
I guess I'll save the best for last
My future seems like one big past
You're left with me 'cause you left me no choice

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
If the pain goes on
I'm not gonna make it!

Put me back together
Or separate the skin from bone
Leave me all the Pieces, then you can leave me
alone
Tell me the reality is better than the dream
But I found out the hard way
Nothing is what it seems!

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on
I'm not gonna make it!

All I've got... All I've got is insane...
All I've got... All I've got is insane...
All I've got... All I've got is insane!
All I've got... All I've got is insane!

I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on
I'm not gonna make it!
