5Q4: Slipknot

Listen to Slipknot’s album #WeAreNotYourKind now: wmcanada.lnk.t...
We sat down with Jim and Clown of #Slipknot to chat about their writing process, unique details about their stage setup, and which Keanu Reeves movie is their favourite. Watch #5Q4Slipknot now.

[@gzo313]

Clown and Jim are opposite ends of the spectrum in their personalities. You ask Jim what time it is and he tells you, Clown explains how a clock works. Both are awesome.

[@Takaichi666-]

You ask Jim what’s his favorite pizza he’ll answer the question ask clown what’s his favorite pizza hell explain how dough is created

Jim lookin like he going to prom

Long. Tan. And handsome

[@Mila-lz1ki]

He looks like a snacc

[@JPPWB]

Okay, so Jim has undoubtedly got the most handsome mask and coolest hair in the whole band.

[@Takaichi666-]

Uhhh I have to disagree MICK has the best hair in the band

[@ibnufasya6408]

Mick has the best hair jim got yhe best beard

[@gandolan1473]

Mick probably has the best hair but I think Jim has the best mask/hair combo

[@evilchuck4679]

Well, I'd agree that this band has indeed touched people's lives, yes. Like I've been to one of their shows in Phoenix and they put on one helluva show. But there's better music in my opinion.

[@TonySimons]

@@evilchuck4679 examples?

[@evilchuck4679]

@@TonySimons Well I just listen to a lot of thrash, punk rock, speed metal, and classic rock most of the time. Like I said it's personal preference. I never really got into pop or hip hop.

[@G00NIE]

@@TonySimons lol you need better examples?

[@TonySimons]

@@G00NIE negative. I was just curious as to what music Isaiah was referring to as being better than Slipknot. His answer was vague and didn't contain any examples, so the OP remains the same. Fight me if I'm wrong. 😁

[@meganlutman8585]

They are genuinely nice dudes. I met them last week and I think Clown could tell my anxiety was through the roof. He talked to me like we were friends. It just solidified them as the favorite band that will never change.

Clown is such an interesting individual, you're either gonna get a kind and intelligent individual, or an evil bastard. Totally flips on a dime. I guess it comes with the creative identity he's made for himself.

2019 has been slipknot's year I enjoy every bit of it guys

[@legatelanius9172]

I agree they made a great album and they all got along and made amazing music unlike all hope is gone great album but that band was very disconnected with each other for example Joey recorded all the drums in his own studio and sent it to the band

[@michaelmounce3402]

It's the year for metal and all of its sub genres.

[@KremIsis]

This man let me speechless. How he copes with his loss keeping on working is a complete mistery to me. If you ever lost someone dear to your heart you know what I'm talking about. Every time I ses them I wonder if it's still really him behind that mask.

[@elizabethmahaffey3543]

It's him. His daughter died a few weeks after my nine year old daughter passed away. Work is my only solace. It's the only time it's too loud to think and I can't feel the pain because my brain is occupied. Id imagine for him it's the same

[@KremIsis]

@@elizabethmahaffey3543 May God bless you with all His love. I am very sorry to hear that. I can't say I know how you feel, because nobody does. I send you my deepest respect and a hug.

They're actually really smart dude's. Pretty much all the guys in Slipknot are super with it and smart.

[@joelguzman9280]

I love the change they have gone through. Went from rude asshats in interviews to positiive mindsets. The respect given is totally 180 from previous days

[@rybo0072]

Is Jim wearing a slipknot suit!!! That's freaking dope I want one

[@Darthpandaz]

Totally agree! And Clown's new black blazer is everything🤤

[@Whatever22ification]

Interviewer: So how are you guys doing today? Jim: Okay. Clown: We're all in an ocean. This deep, dark, blue abyss that's in a constant motion. There's up's there's down's. But it never ceases to stop being dark. That place where painful thoughts are bottled up.

[@royrodriguez6401]

Am I the only one who would love to see Shawn “Clown” have a “face only” mask, grow natural dreads, and dye them orange like his original mask?

[@annetteslife]

I would that would be so cool

[@Thndrcougrfalcnbrd]

He basically did that during the AHIG era when he wore the British Female masks, just without dreads

[@brodieyake7735]

We Are Not Your Kind is the best era of Slipknot ever. The brilliance of the album speaks for itself, but everything from the masks to the outfits to the stage setup to the setlists was absolutely perfect. I can't wait to hear what the band has up their sleeve in the coming years.

Listening to the new album and listenig since album 1 thats my take on why this album is soooo fucking goood! 💯 i love you guys man, you get me through the day honestly

What's most fascinating about these two (and yes, Zodiac info is coming 😂) Clown is a Virgo/Libra cusp and Jim is a Libra, and they both have Pisces moons, but they're so different.

[@jeffb6276]

All I can ask any fan is- what don't you like about this album? Extremely easier to answer than any question in the positive regard. I can't pick a top 3 songs on the album, let alone favorite on the album! If wanyk doesn't go down in history as a masterpiece in both the appreciation for the art as well as the ability to enjoy it (entirely, may I add) then I don't know what art is. I don't shuffle the playlist, I usually don't even pick a song, and I pretty much don't know half the songs by name. I know insert coin because that's what I click on to start the album 🤣 ok I do know most of the songs but that was as of last night only because I tried to pin point 3 songs I like more than the rest. Can't do it. I tried again today, isn't possible. The last trio I came up with was Critical Darling, Orphan, and My Pain but then you've got spiders, Nero.... all of them! There isn't even a worse song. Only a hand full of elements across the board to complain about if I were to be honest, but I'm sure someone could even talk me off those ledges, as clown did when he mentioned revisiting similar elements from the past. 10/10

A lot of people forget Shawn is the leader of this band. He is the main founder of the band. Slipknot is his band. If all 9 of them were sitting in front of the camera, and asked a question, chances are Clown would be the one to speak and answer it, if not him Corey.
