Slipknot facts



  • The band has several different color jumpsuits: Red, black, blue, light blue, white, green, and brown. On one sleeve is the number of the member, on the left sleeve is the tribal S, smaller barcode, or 6(sic)6 (depending on the jumpsuit).  On the front left chest is a small barcode, and on the back is a large barcode. The symbols, barcodes, and such are done in quality stitching.  If you look closely, you will see that the number in the barcode is the same as the first song on the album.  The barcode originated from MFKR. Look at the barcode on the back of the CD case, if you have an original.

  • All their masks were made originally themselves (for the most part), with the help of a man that has the AIM screen name KingVigo. And yes, the dreads on Corey's mask is partly made out of his own hair.

  • Corey has an 18 inch neck, according to Shawn.

  • The lyric "you can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes" in Eyeless actually came from a homeless person Corey and Shawn walked by after their first visit to Roadrunner's offices in NY, to try and close a deal.  The homeless person was saying the later famous lyric over and over again.

  • Slipknot1.com is maintained by Craig(#5), while Slipknot2.com is maintained by Shawn (#6) and a guitar tech for the band.

  • The self-titled debut of Slipknot on Roadrunner Records was the most successful record debut the record company has ever had.

  • Not all the members currently in the band were in the band when Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. was released. In fact, the only people that were in the band back then that are still in it today are Joey (#1), Shawn (#6), and Paul (#2). As you probably know, Shawn and Paul were the founders of Slipknot.

  • James is actually taller than Mick, contrary to what it looks like.  James is 6'6" and Mick is 6'2".
