Thanks to MSCHF for sponsoring this video! To download the app, click here: mschf.com/whang
After the release of Slipknot's self titled album, it was replaced with a new version that removed two of its tracks: Purity and Frail Limbs Nursery. This was due to an issue with a crime website. Here is a look at what happened.

[@hacksbeenjamin]

so these memories came rushing back because of your comment. I also had a binder in middle school that was dedicated to photos taken from kerrang, revolver and the like. The one with kud (mudvayne) with a bullet hole in his forehead got me fucked with by teachers a lot so I swapped it for a cool pic of joey (slipknot) in his iowa era mask and dark green jumpsuit.

I would've thought that the song was about Colleen Stan (a real person) who was kidnapped while hitch-hiking and keep in a box, first in a basement, then under the bed of her kidnappers (a husband and wife team).

9:15 "How do you copyright a murder?" That is the question of thousand dollars, Whang! hahahhahhaa

Purity has my favorite lyric ever..."was my tolerance a phase, empathy outta my way...I can't die!!!"

[@jakejana196]

Slipknot is my favourite band. How the he'll did I not know about this?

[@Gottico69]

Corey Tylor said that purity es based on unboxing Helena, just search Corey Tylor talks on purity.

[@t0ttsmejellin954]

I was like 12 when i got the album and 100% believed everything about the story till now and im 32 years old lol

[@dannymiller7187]

Loved slipknot when I was a kid and young teenager never knew about this. It would have probably made me even more interested in them. Well should have watched the whole video first. Can’t believe it was fake after all that I went though in 5 minutes.

[@PsychOsmosis]

*"How the he'll"* indeed.

[@siren604]

Purity has always been my favourite song off of S/T, even though i’ve heard this story dozens of times it’s always fun to recall. Fantastic vid as always!

[@Lovecrunch30]

I had no idea this happened!!! Great video. Love slipknot, they got me through being abused as a child/teen. Later I would watch an interview with Corey describing the abuse he suffered as a child/teen and it was sadly similar to what I went through. Bands like this can save lives ✌🏾

[@ImJustSaijan]

My daughter is named Purity because of this entire thing. Hell the song is my ringtone

I remember when I was around 14 I ordered a copy of the album from Amazon for five bucks. Later on, I was talking about it with a friend who is a massive Slipknot fan and when I started talking about Frail Limb, he was like "Wait, you have Frail Limb and Purity on there?" I said I did and he told me that those songs were removed on later releases and that I had one of the original copies. It goes for like $50 now.

[@HorrorUberAlles]

I had a copy like yours, purchased it in early '00s and for some stupid reason, I lent it to my younger brother's (at the time) girlfriend. You can imagine what happened a few months later -- they broke up, and I've _never_ seen that disc again. Decades later, I am still kicking myself over it. I've learned my lesson the hard way, I am never lending books or CDs ever again.

[@mynameisredundant6507]

Purity appears to be now a staple for the album as its on the 10th anniversary release but frail limb doesn't seem like it's ever seeing public light again (at least as an official track)

[@shino8854]

@@HorrorUberAlles Damn dude, you lost your CD and didn't even get some sloppy toppy, now that's a crime.

[@DarkEmissions]

Nostalgia overload on this one, man, haha. I got the digipack in high school in ‘01, but missed the initial release. I only heard the song online, and on Disasterpieces. I actually didn’t realize that it was a fake story. I didn’t follow up on it. Thanks for making the video, dude!

[@Iheartdgd]

I loved this song so much growing up (along with the entirety of the S/T album) that I was going to get the word ‘purity’ tattooed on the side of my hand but.. I figured it would’ve been misinterpreted by just about everybody beside the few who were aware lol xP I’m currently preparing to cover the whole album in one take on guitar (some day I’d like to do all the instruments plus vocals)

Frail LIMBS Nursery. 😂 I also remember when one review of the album in a music magazine at the time called it Frail Limb Misery. 😬

[@LycanWitch]

biggest plot hole in the Purity story is the kid.. yeah.. let me write a letter for this kid to deliver to someone specific who this kid doesn't know and who just happens to be carrying a piece of paper and pen in the middle of the woods. Doesn't matter how delusional or near death you are, you'll simply tell the kid to go get help. And if the kidnapper stumbled on the kid who he knows discovered Purity.. he'd either kidnap the kid too or quickly relocate Purity elsewhere.

[@Agentshadling]

Tbf the story said she told him to get the pen and paper, he didn't already have it

[@Neckboatrecords]

The UK release of the digipack had both tracks on it, I still have my copy and just checked but I do remember a lot of my friends not knowing the song Purity because their copies of the album didn't have it. It has always been my favourite song on that album.

[@bruiserbrony771]

Nothing like a nice, clean whang in front of my face. And a new Whang video is good, too.

[@kanna-san.]

I'm glad you liked it.

[@bvs56]

I remember when all this stuff was going on. I actually heard a snippet of slipknot on an mtv news story about ozzfest that year. I wrote the name down on the back of a sheet of AMD processor stickers. That day changed my life believe it or not because I went and got the cd later that day. Anyway, nice story whang. Brings back memories.

[@thejww96]

I absolutely loved Slipknot as a kid, and when I saw that you'd uploaded this video, I gasped and then told the entire "Purity Knight" story to my gf and then sat down to watch it. Thank you.

[@KXTTYYYY]

I got so excited when I saw this video pop up in my recommendations bc slipknot is a HUGE hyper fixation of mine and I love ur videos, I got so overwhelmed with excitement I couldn't finish the video 😅

[@thiniceking12]

[@fatnipples2.044]

You should do a video about the album "Neidermeyer's Mind" by Korn. Where it is and what happened to it...

[@jessehillgardner697]

I remember some of this from that time, early 00s were a weird time. Me & my brother had actually picked up Slipknot’s first album shortly after release cuz we saw it in a record store on vacation in Summer ‘99. It was pretty awesome that a few months later we seen them on that Coal Chamber tour along with Dope.

[@maddwolfco6526]

Mannn the vinyl with frail limb and purity are forever one of my prized possessions

[@sokoTV2]

The use of earthbound music kinda spoils the surprise of this story. Though I guess it is also foreshadowing a little bit.

[@secretwow3459]

i was listening to it right RIGHT before getting notification for this video god damn you whang and your mind control!!

[@BorisLev]

listening to tattered and torn + frail limb nursery + purity is awsome, they all go so well together!

[@ulookbreedablensubmissive434]

I personally felt the whole section of you mentioning Slipknot being your favorite and dubbing their self title album . It was literally the first band that made me like metal and I was just as obsessed. Dubbed tapes from the CDS for myself. Music was never the same for me after that.

[@flamejob4260]

purity is my favorite song off that album - so dark, gave us a taste of iowa

[@brianajaxwintor6023]

[@xCreepyKidsx]

This made me go dig out my original copy of the album just to listen to those songs again for the first time since high school.

[@frozenlake1215]

Great video! You should do one analyzing why the band refuses to fully talk about the MFKR era. Basically it's like they will talk about the early 90's days of the group coming together, but then skip the Anders / MFKR years. Also refusing to talk about Josh Brainard being on guitar and in jacket and promo photos for the self-titled album.
