Guy in a creepy a clown mask: Terrified of cute koalas. They do sound scary though.

[@cowboypfpsdeadchannel9724]

To be fair, clown does the beating of ass

[@lungsmen8641]

“I do have 4 children” Rip Gabriella😭

[@TuberoseKisser]

It would be fucking amazing to see slipknot be a family band, imagine having generations of slipknot family members.

[@Cemoman17]

+MoonMoonFang Hopefully their kids can remake the craziness they had back in the early 2000's

[@StrikerUSS]

Well, they kinda did now

[@owlfly_artist]

Like Corey‘s son really could take his place later

[@jacobgoodman9392]

The band he won't say is Stone Sour. Sorry Corey.

[@vincegedeon6583]

And they are shit slipknot only

[@patrickhuntoon534]

People = shit not Stone Sour

[@IfYouAintBalsac]

If you get fired for beating up clown, why is Craig still in the band?

[@christianalmli9085]

Same reason he got to stay in the band after he got replaced as guitarist. Nobody has the balls to tell him xD

[@TheSkully343]

Lets just say if Clown knew what Craig would do to him he'd stop CLOWNING around for good.

[@IfYouAintBalsac]

***** ...I'm not sure what to think about what you just said

[@TheSkully343]

Some Maggot I just baked you a delicious cinnamon pun.

[@IfYouAintBalsac]

***** ...I just...Can't even...

[@NT.RACING]

Clown, Corey, and Paul are the most coolest dudes ever especially Paul who i respected so much and was influenced to play bass because of him, i wish Paul were still here Maggots For Life!

[@Homewardaffinity]

Clown speaks to me on a spiritual level... especially with his bat

[@18dyl]

Lmao, the koala.

[@rocksound]

As Slipknot headline the Main Stage at Download Festival 2013 we look at some lesser-known facts about the metal pioneers and Shawn 'Clown' Crahan.

[@Benthenewbie414]

-who has a fear of koalas XD

[@eviljon1234]

A diverse yet underrated musical talent right there

[@AndonisAngelos]

His mask makes him looking stoned during all the interview hahaha

[@PulseOfTheMaggie]

Now I wanna know more about his cats tbh

[@wendehoogendoorn9193]

Same!

[@phatjesus57]

I've talked to Gage and Simon Crahan they're cool laid back people

[@lilliangriffin9013]

The Clown reminds me of Cousin Dave from Epic Meal Time, Basically these guys play the unloved jerk role very well.

[@garr2991]

I find it so hard to take him seriously with a smiling clown mask hahaha xD

[@phatjesus57]

garr2991 this mask is fucking awesome I have 3 of them one regular and 2 Grammy clown masks 1 with her and 1 without

[@paused_tv]

hes wearing his old mask...i miss that mask.

[@piranhaattack4836]

His old mask is his best mask. saw slipknot live a week ago for the monster energy after shock festival and he was wearing his old mask it was pretty cool

[@paused_tv]

JPVgaming thats awesome, maybe on their next album he'll have that (or a similar) mask.

[@OfficialJaffaBair]

The old mask is a West Germany Clown. You can buy one yourself from Rudelmasken :)

[@piranhaattack4836]

+OfficialJaffaBair ok thx

[@-spiinight-4383]

its not his exact old mask its a new gen with long hair his old one had shorter curly hair

[@whokilledzekeiddon]

Enjoyed this and the one with Corey. Are you going to upload the Craig Jones one next?

[@jonvia]

"It wasnt a fetish..." Ok Shawn

[@rocksound]

dude it's hard to film and drink and mosh at the same time

[@kornrocs666]

i wish clown was my dad

[@deadroses19]

you do not.

[@Vegitobluuuuu]

It'd be Clown.Jr xD

[@Yadoking-w4m]

Is him being a jerk part of his alter ego or what

[@grannygumjob8290]

Oh yeah big time

[@Yadoking-w4m]

Oke c:

[@samjimenez8713]

+Adrian Perez he was going through a lot at that time with Paul and being stressed and the band kind if falling apart then. Nowadays he's a much happier guy

[@kathiemcnally7502]

Yadoking He’s not really a jerk, he’s a goofball

[@Grimeyhoob]

Have you seen Adam D from Killswitch live on stage? It’s a persona not real

[@yogiyahya8341]

First of all it's not pronounced Bbbbbbbb XD

[@Oviraptor-AK47]

[@noodlechan_]

[@Vegetasoul21]

Luuccky Clown's son teching for Chris

[@MrMetallidude]

Well, he seems like a nice person.

[@Jimbler69]

i love how the jaw moved left and right when he was thinking

[@nordimejia5790]

Clowns son was chris tech?.... Interesting.

[@jamespostlethwaite7799]

They were fucking insane. Best live experience I've ever had

[@manifestationsofasort]

He's scared of koalas 😂😂😂

[@yaroslavkinebas8402]

We're all too busy recovering from the hangover. I only just learned how to speak again.

[@MrRagnorrock1]

Apologies from the citizens of Britain for the lack of footage of Slipknot the morning after their performance, but I do wish to remind you that we had 2 more days of music and alcohol, which completely filled our schedules to the point where uploading videos could not be fitting in. Please be assured the videos will be posted shortly after we all recover from one of the most awesome weekends ever.

[@DeathEgg666]

are download gonna upload any 'official' videos??

[@Claudio.Brito93]

Koala > Clown

[@dean6246]

Remember when Craig beat Clowns ass

[@ekonomialublin2804]

what's the name of the music in the background????????

[@Music2Forever]

Are all of the questions in other vids asking unresearched questions??

[@shamone456]

I'm at the festival. I just thought u might want to know that we are actually not permitted to film anything. it's disappointing, I know. I was looking forward to recording some Slipknot but we weren't allowed. sorry. :(

[@remote_ctrl8672]

That's because most of them are at Download still...

[@MrBakinblak]

All of Slipknot make me proud to be from Iowa

[@Zackslicer]

Funny times. XD That Koala thou.

[@JordanCorns]

Managed to record the intro & disasterpiece, uploading right now :D

[@thedeano759]

saw him at download i was at the front slipknot played amazing fuck it was good.

[@JeroenPol]

No, his son Teched for Chris Fehn. So Clown's son is Chris Fehn's Drum Technician

[@Capricorn_Enigma]

Shawn "Clown" Crahan is soo fucking funny.

[@mattce988]

they usually don't, or it gets deleted for copyright bullshit.

[@everydarnnameistaken]

[@georgetommo]

I'm uploading now, because I have only just got home from the festival. Be patient

[@cjpowerdcfc]

[@PiscesSenpai]

That's all good and well, but.. What does Corey Taylor think about Corey Taylor thinking about Corey Taylor when Corey Taylor thinks about Corey Taylor thinking about Corey Taylor as he thinks about Corey Taylor thinking about Corey Taylor who thought about Corey Taylor thinking about Corey Taylor?

[@torben_vp]

Mousey my brain melted

[@LOLlegendGamers]

[@TLGZOID]

[@ferdilazuard841]

Koalas? I honestly did not expect that...

[@Benthenewbie414]

Me neither 0-0

[@shamone456]

We all have a lot to thank people who risk being kicked out from download with no refunds :)

[@rocksound]

[@JakBane]

Did he forget that he hired Sid #0 because he knocked clown on his ass?

[@tinnify24]

Clown is nuttier than squirrel poo, and that's just the way I love him!

[@TheAidanFitzsimons]

I'm very disappointed in our British friends that none of them has had the decency to upload anything from the concert yet :-\

[@Oviraptor-AK47]

his son..... CLOWN JR

[@x6j12]

Lil' Clown.

[@OneManInHiswaistCoat]

[@greenneverfails]

I fucking love M. Shawn Crahan

[@JBOrocksyz1]

Im glad, concerts shouldnt be about recording, so you can post on youtube so others can have a false experience. You wait your turn and have a good time with the mystery. Im so siick of seeing cameras everywhere, and moshing seems to be a thing of the past.

[@seppheinzl9378]

The music is way to loud dude...

[@TheMrObsanity]

They were probably enjoying the music like they should.

[@JuliehPeglegs]

I love Clown

[@AvengedSynyster666]

[@SoulSlave92]

[@jake-tt3ic]

[@jumbolyerjoe1776]

[@MultiFundus]

[@sammylane21]
