Such an honor for Slipknot to have Eloy Casagrande as the band's drummer.

Mad I have to miss Slipknot as it’s my dream to see them live. My Dad is leaving the next day at 4 AM of the Mansfield concert.

Awe, Im sorry. I have seen both of them live, ( different shows,) they were both AWESOME! Hope one day you get the chance one day!

I never saw them. I had about 6 chances but life got in the way all 6 times. I even had tickets to just see Corey and it got cancelled. Now I have tickets to Knotfest Iowa. Never give up hope. The time will come.

The 90's didn't have just a couple of pits though. From what I hear, their pits were also way harder.

[@labelskater613]

I got to see slipknot at ozzfest 99. That got me hooked. My youngest son got to see slipnot when he was 7. Now hes hooked. He went to pantera last year and lost his damn mind. Now we are seeing slipknot again this year for his 10th birthday. The kid is a full metalhead and now becoming a mask collector and has all of my old original slipknot stuff. Posters, flags, jumpsuits i past all down to him. Never ending cycle

[@TheLeader664]

This was my 10th Slipknot concert and managed to get to the front of the rail and later crowd surfed. This was one of my favorite festivals that I’ve been to and got to see a lot of cool new bands as well.

[@alice__drummer]

Slaughter Prevail is the best band I’ve ever seen live. Such crazy energy and absolutely insane to see the power of the guys in the band. If you’ve seen them live and you see Viking, watching Alex scream without a mic is one of the craziest things ever

[@MattDTN]

If people dont know who Danny Elfman is you're missing out! One of the best movie composers of all time. Right up there with John Williams and Hanz Zimmer!

My wife just bought tickets for us to see KoRn, Gojira, and Spiritbox in October. Absolutely stoked!!!! I’ve been wanting to see KoRn since I discovered them in like ‘97. This will be my second time seeing Gojira and I’m just as stoked! Don’t know much about our Spiritbox but I’m down for something new. Idk about these festivals tho. I’m not in the best of health and I don’t think I could swing a full day.

The first concert I ever saw was Slipknot opening for Stone Sour in Des Moines, Iowa in 1995. Here we are, 25 years after the first album. It's time to celebrate the legacy back where it all started. I already have my ticket for Knotfest IOWA 2024! 🤘

[@jasonrandles9975]

Did the slipknot set include any kind of homage to Joey? Good to hear SOAD paying their respects and really that should come from Corey

[@chrisc4831]

It's not even a question between system of a down and sleep token. Everyone would pick system

[@mattsolegod]

that’s crazy cuz i’d pick sleep token

[@alexandrehenri-bhargava2741]

Yeah, I picked SOAD. But I was a bit sad. Wish I could have seen both

[@carlosalcaino]

I saw SOAD for like 5 songs and then I went to see Sleep Token. They sounded so good. It was worthy

[@jrayne93]

I'd pick sleep token every time. I like a few soad songs but alot of their discography is very mid to me idk I love st tho.

[@alizabelle]

It was my first festival and I enjoyed it. Was lucky to have good weather. Vans,Nike etc should do a collaboration with festivals to make festival approved shoes 😂 I’m definitely attending 2025 but they have to make it two days. One day was brutal 😩

[@BeatsAndMeats]

Danny Elfman does a lot of orchestration for bands… he’s done most of the orchestral composing for Avenged Sevenfold.

[@geoffdaupert7612]

Second year that we attended. Its a great lineup this year as well as last year. System of a Down was the draw for us last year and Danny Elfman was this year. We flew from the midwest. I hope the organizers keep this festival going. Its brings in new fans from all ages. Glad you had a good time!

[@PositivityNeutrality]

I flew 20 hours for that show, unfortunately I was super tired and didn’t show up until A Perfect Circle started. Overall it was a very impressive festival, I hope to see it again next year 🤘

[@RobertCatiller67]

I'm glad Danny Elfman is still performing and it's great that more young people are becoming aware of him. (They've been surrounded by him in various shows and movies possibly without even being aware of it.). Then there's what he did with Oingo Boingo....a living legend.

[@selw0nk]

I'm pretty sure Sick New World is the same promoter as the When We Were Young Festival and why not make it 2 days also?

I was privileged enough to see Bring Me with Spiritbox at the Side Show the night before so skipped part of BMTH set to see Static Dress (along with less than 200 people.) Haven’t seen that kind of raw energy on stage since Nirvana in 1992. Keep your eyes on these guys! Also, if you liked Slaughter, Jinjer was just as good. Both just spectacular heavy bands. All in all a great fest. Wish I had run into you!

Slipknot is one of the best bands to see live

[@BETAtheBETA]

THIS IS SO SIC!!!!^_^

[@rockermv10]

It may be time for me to buy a Slipknot album as a gateway drug. There is a song or two that I was feeling. I never gave them a chance because I thought they were not my cup of tea. I am a fan of System of the Down. I need to get more albums from them with only having two. I wish they would go on more tours and maybe come out with a new album but that might be pushing it, I don't know. It's cool they had a moment of tribute. That is awesome and I should check out the other bands mentioned.

[@yojiholmesproductions]

It sucks I missed when Slipknot came to Memphis FedEx forum because I had surgery like a few months before that and I was in casts and I was in a wheelchair so I couldn't go see it sadly

[@GuillotineKing]

Danny Elfman is why I became a musician.... Oingo Boingo is incredibly under-rated *** Edit --- Danny Elfman also has Wes Borland as one of the touring guitarists.

[@Rufio2988]

I was one of the few kids at my school in the 90s and early 2000s that liked rock. Got made fun of constantly for it. Music was my first love.😂 I thought id have seen all my fav bands by now. Life has been rough. I work 2 jobs and still am only able to afford groceries lately by using a credit card. No car. Havent been to a show since i was 22yrs old. System of a down was literally one of my favorite and most listened to bands of my childhood and adult life. Slipknot self-titled album was one of my first real cds (not burnt). I havent ever seen either band. Nine inch nails and stone temple pilots and smashing pumpkins were 3 of the best shows i ever attended and that was 18 yeara ago. I, unfortunately, dont think ill ever be lucky enough to see system of a down or slipknot live. Ive rocked out to their shows on youtube and thats probably the closest ill get. I couldnt afford it, even ifi were lucky enough to be near a show.

[@Jimbo386000]

I absolutely love sleep token, but if system was playing I'd probably choose system as well.

[@talesofanasphaltjockey]

Danny Elfman had a New Wave band called Oingo Boingo back in the 80's , Dead Man's Party was a great album with the title track & Weird Science (from the movie of the same name) being the top tracks. Yeah I'm that old ...ugh

I did SNW both last year and this year. Weather was fantastic this year. Scheduling overlaps were worse this year. It was more crowded this year. Food was equal to how bad it was last year. Prices are ...... ha ha I think you know how bad it is. Merch is way overpriced. Good selection though. The vibe was incredible both years. Everybody is super cool. Fashion was WILD! Security was good both years. Less bathrooms this year????? Why??? Anyway, I'll be there next year.
