Book description
"The only plan right now is to kill everybody" Joey Jordison,
drummerIgnoring every rule in the book and more besides, Slipknot are a
notoriously controversial band who combine a talent for outrage with
their music. Reminiscent of the outlandishness of punk, 'nu metal' has
become the fastest growing area in rock, with Slipknot selling over 2
million copies of their debut album. And yet Slipknot spit, swear and
risk injury night after night in their extraordinary live performances.
Incredibly, their apparel of masks and boiler suits, which they refuse
to remove, means that their fans still do not know what they look like.
Jason Arnopp, the first British journalist to interview Slipknot face to
mask, describes the transformation of the Des Moines crew into
unorthodox mega stars. Featuring an introduction by the legendary Gene
Simmons of Kiss, this biography will be the first published on the band
either in the UK or America and will include exclusive interviews and
in-depth information on the mysterious nine masked men.
