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

That was all I got and now you got me
All I ever really wanted was to take the blame
I will go down in History and not down in Flames
Meningitis / I will survive this / Dry Sockets and a Schizophrenic Crisis
The Time of The Nine has begun
Get out of the way or you will suffer as one

This is so TYPICAL / APOCALYPTICAL
Hanging on abysmal release / Jesus
I don't need this / Don't wanna be this
Icon in the Making / My hands are fucking shaking

WHAT IF GOD DOESN'T CARE?
WHAT IF GOD DOESN'T CARE...

Remember / Surrender / The Time is Now
Continue / We're in you... and we will BURN YOUR CITIES DOWN

AMERICA IS A KILLING NAME
IT DOESN'T FEEL OR DISCRIMINATE
LIFE IS JUST A KILLING FIELD
IT'S ALL THAT'S LEFT - NOTHING'S REAL
THROW AWAY YOUR DISPOSABLE PAST
AND FALL APART LIKE A CIGARETTE ASH
WE ARE THE FATAL AND VITAL ONES OF THE WORLD
AND WE WILL BURN YOUR CITIES DOWN

WHAT IF GOD DOESN'T CARE?
WHAT IF GOD DOESN'T CARE?

AMERICA IS A KILLING NAME
IT DOESN'T FEEL OR DISCRIMINATE
LIFE IS JUST A KILLING FIELD
IT'S ALL THAT'S LEFT - NOTHING'S REAL
THROW AWAY YOUR DISPOSABLE PAST
AND FALL APART LIKE A CIGARETTE ASH
WE ARE THE FATAL AND VITAL ONES OF THE WORLD
AND WE WILL BURN YOUR CITIES DOWN

Down...

WE WILL BURN YOUR CITIES DOWN

Feed the Hungry - Feed them shit
Feed them BONES and POLITICS
You wanna revolutionize?
Be specific and believe your eyes
Start a war in another backyard
And we'll destroy your house of cards
Give me a minute and I'll change your mind
Give me a bullet and I'll change your life

Remember / Surrender / The Time is Now
Continue / We're in you...
And we will BURN YOUR CITIES DOWN

AMERICA IS A KILLING NAME
IT DOESN'T FEEL OR DISCRIMINATE
LIFE IS JUST A KILLING FIELD
IT'S ALL THAT'S LEFT - NOTHING'S REAL
THROW AWAY YOUR DISPOSABLE PAST
AND FALL APART LIKE A CIGARETTE ASH
WE ARE THE FATAL AND VITAL ONES OF THE WORLD
AND WE WILL BURN YOUR CITIES DOWN

WE WILL BURN YOUR CITIES DOWN

America... what if God doesn't care?
