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

My Guilt and My Shame always sell me short - always feel the same
And My Face and My Soul always wear me thin - always under control
But the longest hours you'll have in your life
Are the ones you sit through to know if you're right
So I'll wait, but I pray that I'm wrong
Because I think I know what's going on

So Let Me Get This Straight... the only will is my own
I do whatever I want and stay alone
All my decisions make it untouchable and tainted
I'm gonna suffer for the rest of my life
But I will always find a way to survive
I'm not a failure, but I know what it's like
I can take it or leave it... or die

STAY - You don't always know where you stand
'Til you know that you won't run away
There's something inside me that feels
Like Breathing in Sulfur...

My Life is undone - and I'm a sinner to most but a sage to some
And my Gods are Untrue - I'm probably wrong, but I'm better than you
And the longest hours I've had in my life
Were the ones I went through to know I was right
So I'm safe, but I'm a little outside
I'm gonna laugh when I'm buried alive

STAY - You don't always know where you stand
'Til you know that you won't run away
There's something inside me that feels
Like Breathing in Sulfur...

LIKE BREATHING IN SULFUR

STAY - You don't always know where you stand
'Til you know that you won't run away
There's something inside me that feels
Like Breathing in Sulfur...

LIKE BREATHING IN SULFUR
