When I met Craig sans-mask in 2001, he spoke....I asked to sign my CD. He said, "Sure, man".

[@thedarklord6130]

Craig's spike helmet has always been my favorite. I don't know why. I think it has just the right amount of terror and humor. I like how he never talks also. It fits the character to me

I always thought the nails in the “devil in i” video looked the way they did because they were rubber, to protect the dog that jumps on him. So instead of getting impaled by real nails, they would just be rubber, or something soft, so the dog didn’t... you know... die.

[@SpidyHer0]

I was just about to say the same thing. Thats 100% why they look like that. You can even deduce they are not real nails from the way they move in the video.

[@Josh_Jackson]

There is a video of the making of that video with that scene and with no music playing and those nails sure scrape on the wall like they're real but I'm still not a 100% sure that they are

[@kylartolman7411]

@@Josh_Jackson i think they are probably just really stiff rubber nails

[@creationofseda]

[@calyrexcolress2088]

Modifious is the name of the band I believe and Joey was the drummer. Theirs an MFKR KZbin page. He has tons of old footage of the members in there older bands. There’s a cool video of Craig Joey and the other band members sitting outside talking to the camera. Such rare footage

I remember when I went to Disneyland Paris when I was a young girl, we got outside of the park to go to our hotel and there were all these paintings you could buy. One of them was a painting of a group of “things” and the name Slipknot. Out of all the masks Craig’s is the one that stood out to me, like wtf is that? So Craig’s mask will always hold a special place in my heart

[@JessicaGarcia-xf9wr]

His mask stood out the most to me! Even back in 2000 when I was a kid his mask caught my attention and it just looked creepy but yet so cool at the same time!

[@robertayala82]

Craig's rusty Iowa is bad ass.

[@TaintBrushGaming]

Call me crazy but I thought the nails in the "Devil in I" version were fake. you can see them bending in the video while his head is rubbing against the elevator wall, but I'm sure that was a bit of protection for the dog in the scene.

[@ascdrgn3481]

I love Craig's masks, but I feel like if they stuck with a more iowa-style sculpt the newer versions would look even better.

[@okalright3941]

I think they added something around AHIG too prevent lose of nails which is why the mask is more round

[@aw55550]

Fun Fact : look up slipknot members introduce themselves to hear Craig talk

[@codyhenning29]

Craig's We are not your kind mask is definitely an improvement from vol3 up to .5 it doesn't get a whole lot of credit but I like that he did something different then just put huge nails everywhere at least he made it something unique that we haven't seen before.

[@TheOneAndOnlyDJRapta]

with the end so far, i dont see much difference between the last one and this one

[@RetroDriveRadio]

I love how he uses confessions for the MFKR era, probably my favorite track from that album

[@corneliusm4673]

The new round shape from AHIG onward always bugged me too but I also noticed the spikes seemed to be more stiff they didn't flop around like vol 3. I always thought maybe there was something solid holding the spikes inside the mask which is why the bigger rounder shape came in. I dunno just a thought.

[@okalright3941]

That's actually pretty smart

[@princessparrots]

I can’t be the only one who finds his spiky masks kind of cute and loved and felt connection to his character right from the time you came across him even before finding/figuring out he never talks, right? 😂 anyway, the one that he wears in “the devil in I” is probably my favourite

[@nuxborns]

I honestly like the concept of bigger nails, especially in live shows when he's headbanging

[@liamebers6844]

My favorite is either the dynamo or early iowa. Although I kinda like how weird the grey volume 3 is.

[@buddygrimes4901]

Ide say his Iowa was my favorite it just looked so evil and his self titled being my second second favorite for its uniqueness.

[@stewarthainey3751]

Yes!!!!!!!! I immediately liked this before even starting the video.

[@rvbrules]

Someone posted live footage of killers are quiet a few hours ago, and Craig is wearing the clown mask in it! Happy to finally see some footage of it

[@okalright3941]

The self titled craig is kinda cute tbh. Like hes a small dude in a big mask and hes very quiet. In one of the signing videos during self titled he was looking around and was pretty cute tbh.

*I want to make it very clear that Craig did NOT die, he just parted ways with the band!*

[@ku7342]

Holy shit....that promo shot does look exactly like if you made a Craig cake! Frickin rolling. My favorite is later/weathered self-titled for sure. And not that y'all give a Schmidt, but one that I went through a love/hate with was the .5. At first I hated that he used different length nails, it seemed like a break in tradition and I felt betrayed, hah. But soon after, I started to dig it. I always considered it the sunburst Craig...or the explosion Craig.

[@LP004]

That last Iowa mask is just disgusting and beautiful, probably my favourite

[@poser.corpse]

I think his mask represent pain and torture, I’m not sure They all have different meanings

[@doodoodan]

Thanks for showing that picture at 2:11 I knew Craig played guitar first but I didn't know any pictures with him on guitar existed

[@LegitLeg]

I do like the late self titled mask but my personal favorite is the late Iowa mask. The tightness and the decay of the mask and the rusted nails with rust on the actual mask is so creepy but awesome at the same time. And the jumpsuits they wore just added to the overall effect of being creepy but awesome. Loved the video like always. I hate AJ Good

[@undeadchainsaw]

Back in the mid to late 90s (if I remember correctly) there was a weird artsy car commercial that had strange music and and took place in the desert. For a few seconds someone in a black bondage mask with nails was in frame. This was before IOWA. My family recorded a lot of TV on VHS. sometime after IOWA came out I went back to watch one of those tapes I came across this commercial and it blew my mind. In the age of the Internet everything is online but DAMN it is super hard to find a very specific car commercial from 25 years ago if you can’t remember the name of the car. I’m still gonna try and find it.

[@FlyboyHelosim]

Nothing was said in the video but I always assumed that in promo shots when Craig wore masks with extra long 'nails', that they were just plastic or other lightweight props. There's no way foot long nails, or even ones half that length for that matter, would stick out perfectly without drooping. They also appear 'springy' when seen moving. You can clearly tell there's some sort of difference because when he has real nails when playing live, they droop and sag all over the place plus have a real weight to them.
