The Meaning Of Every Slipknot Mask Explained

- Опубликовано: 16 май 2024
- While Slipknot may not be the first band to hide their faces on stage, they've integrated their masks into their personality and performances like few other bands. Their creepy appearance is meant to reflect the intensity of their music, while at the same time allowing their fans to pay attention to their music, rather than their celebrity.
For over 20 years, Slipknot has been performing in a variety of disguises, each with a different purpose and story for the people who wear them. Here's the meaning of every Slipknot mask explained.

Which Slipknot mask do you think is the best?
Definitely Corey's self titled mask
Joeys All Hope Is Gone Mask
Coreys Iowa, joeys Iowa, and Jim’s silver/blue jester
I think Craig Jones Self Titled Mask is the best
Mick Thomson's mask from 2004
Micks masks just fit him perfect he’s just a big tall dude very menacing looking just perfect for him the way it looks
Facts I feel like all the OG members masks suit them so well in a weird way
@@rikki.stardustt joeys was good for him and he knew how to make them cool and creepy clowns fit the clown Sid with all the gas masks
Fr he’s hella intimidating
@@osbaldohernandez9174 he also like raiders
Well....jim is way taller and bigger dude
I always loved Joey's masks. The Japanese Kabuki mask seemed to suit him fantasticly.
Rest easy Joey and Paul
Same here 😂😂😂
The crazy thing is Joey had just died 4 days before this video was posted. I think they should've waited a bit. At least a few weeks.
Joeys All hope is gone mask epitomizes his drumming skills... As a GOD.
Do you means those evil-christ mask? That was 'all hope is gone' era
RIP
RIP Joey :(
@@Ujick46 ...yeah...exactly what he said...
I really enjoyed his and Jim's during that album cycle.
Sid, over time actually seems to slowly become human. Corey's keeps becoming more human as well, with the last being a burn mask... almost close to being fully healed!
Vol.3 is the initial burn
Ahig is like a cast
And then wanyk is the burn mask
well... now how are you gonna explain his new mask he debuted at Rocklahoma not long ago? 🤔
@@TheLarryburns84 it's simple he's a baseball now
@@TheWwerocker45 I spit out my soda, thank you lol
Sid's a god damn alien.
rest in peace Joey Jordison.
My first thought
R.I.P
:(
RIP
Yes bro
Corey's "chipmunk" mask, looked like he cut up a plastic milk jug
My thoughts exactly lmao
After he fixed the cheeks it was neat
After he fixed the cheeks it was neat
Fat pufferfish
Corey once told that the idea behind the mask, was to make it look like something a serial killer could have made in his basement. So I guess that's on purpose.
Joey's masks have always been my favorites, followed by Clown's, and Micks. I loved Paul's original pig mask too. Rest in Peace, Paul and Joey, may your legacies be legendary.
Joeys is favorite I always thought other guys mask looked meh for my taste
RIP Joey. Still can’t believe it. Joey and Mick have always been my favorite masks too.
Joeys masks were always my favorite because you never knew what could happen his ahig with the spike crown was amazing
the crown
those gloves were bad-assed too.
“Pentagram” except there’s 9 points, making it a nonagram where all 9 points represent the 9 members of the band
Knotagram
Nineagram
enneagram
A gram of nine
Yeah immediately noticed he said pentagram and went to the comments to correct him xd
A couple of things. Corey's first mask was an altered, "Crash Test Dummy", not a, "bondage mask". Also, Jay's mask had a star on the forehead, with 9 points on it. A, "pentagram", is exactly what it says. Penta means five. It would be a pentagram if it were a 5 pointed star. However, it is a 9 pointed star, obviously symbolizing the number of members in the band. Other than that, this is great 😊.
If there is a heaven, I hope jesus liked joey's Crowd of thorns.
I’m sure he would be proud
Joey would like Valhalla. Fight and feast for all eternity, a warrior's afterlife
Crown•
Jesus probably has the best since of humor.
Jesus would be pissed off with him trying to be like the son off freakin GOD
Cory has such an amazing voice. I just started listening to his audiobook and his sense of humor cracks me up.
I know right haha! Could listen to him all day😂
True…Corey has a 5 Octave Vocal Range which is more than Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Prince, Chris Cornell etc..
@@vb2388 not anymore he doesn't. Even had trouble with the notes in the devil in i
@Life Is Peachy he was purely talking about his vocal range, which is true. Corey can sing and metal scream both well. Regardless of what you think that is an extremely impressive set of skills.
@Life Is Peachy who? I would love to see live examples of these kids that you talk about
The guy finally got the pronunciation of Crahan down!
Hehe shawn crayon
@Life Is Peachy waaah
but not Fehn (Fane)
sus
Corey's all hope is gone mask looks like he's wearing someone's face.
Do u mean .5?
No as much as sids last mask
The AHIG mask has always been my favorite
Corey's first mask looks like based off a child's scary drawing you just have the right drawing
You guys have colorful imagination. It looks like a simple crash dummy to me.
Mick’s mask was so legendary to me as a kid. I loved the intimidating look. It matched the music so well to me.
😔💔 Joey's last Mask Was My Favorite 🤘🏼💔
Rest easy #1
At leaste he can jam with Paul now RIP
Same. LEGEND
same [cry]
Corey's subliminal versus mask has always been my favorite. Up until now his new revealed mask for the "we are not your kind tour" also created by savini i believe i heard. That has a big alien vibe imo. Joey has always been my favorite member. His drumming blew my mind from day 1 and has been my biggest inspiration along side gene hoglan, me wanting to play the drums. Joey's final thorn mask is my favorite version.
I think I would put Corey's All Hope Is Gone mask *just* over the Sub Verses, but you're spot on about Joey's drumming. He was a modern John Bonham/Keith Moon and not really discussed as such.
From what I've seen, Corey's new mask is supposed to resemble a burn victim's mask and is supposed to symbolize healing, as he's pretty much conquered his depression
I have always loved Mick's horror style mask!! I also liked Corey's mask when
it had the dreadlocks too.
Now, when they said "Meaning", I thought they meant an actual meaning. When Iowa came out, I had friends telling me that their masks had actual meanings behind them. I honestly can't remember them all, but I was told that Corey's represented Sickness and Mick's represented something to do with dark clouds. Wish I could remember them all now.
Mick Thompson's mask was my favorite when I first heard Slipknot around the age of 7 and is still my favorite of all the masks the band has worn. Rip Paul and Joey
I just wanna say thank you to Joey for all his riffs and breakdowns all hope is gone is and always will be my favorite slipknot album it was also my Second ever cd my dad got for me. Joey we will not forget you. Blew me away when I heard the news
@@KattMurr they are. This guy don’t know what he’s talking about
@@KattMurr hahahaha
@@marvdubley3366 Actually this guy does know what he’s talking about. Joey originally intended on being a guitarist but ended up playing the drums for slipknot. He is a guitarist and drummer, and he wrote many guitar riffs for slipknot, despite being the drummer.
@@KattMurr ^
@@KattMurr he played guitar for murderdolls too
As a hip hop head these guys got me into Metal
RIP Paul and Joey
Corey's All Hope Is Gone mask is my favourite
I can tell
I can tell
I can tell.
I can tell

I hear the nails on craigs mask get longer cause thats the distance he wants between him and other people
social distance mask
“Every slipknot mask”
You missed like a ton of em.
Right? Completely skipped over Corey's Vol. 3 mask which was my favorite of his
First 2 album cycles had the best of everything: music, jumpsuits, masks, attitude. To me, thats what Slipknot is and forever will be.
ppppprety sure Corey's last mask is supposed to be a burn surviver mask or something of that sort, it actually has some meaning
People who have worn burn masks have said it looks exactly like them
Corey said it's supposed to look like a mask a serial killer made in thier basement
It has no meaning.
The House of Masks that's all I gotta say.
lol
Lmfao. You mean the jackass that will like your band as long as you have some type of gimmick that includes masks? Figures you guys would be suggesting him too bad those masks don't help them write better music.
This is a great video! Answered a lot of questions that I’ve always had . Thank you !
I think they all have badass masks, but my favourites were Mick, Jim and Joey.
Rest In Peace Joey, you will always be in our hearts🐐🤘🤘
Loved slipknot in my teen years , still do
End of my teen as was over 19 when the debut came out lol 😂
I remember as a kid putting a rose on paul greys grave living in near the cemetary i shall visit once again to do the same for joey if he is there
I love Coreys mask. It gives him an Amon-Vibe from Avatar Legend of Korra, a scarred ringleader that appeals to the masses, while still showing some of his truth trhough the transparity of his mask.
RIP JOEY 💔
I don’t know if Chris’s story is a *LIE* because Brandon Darner wore the mask before him
I think they gave it to him when he joined and he took the idea and ran with it
The whole mask story is a lie. They didn't have the look and stage performance until Roadrunner signed them. The Masks, Jumpsuits, Stage Drums, all are straight from Mushroomhead. I'd prefer the record the be set straight, but since Slipknot had a major record label and all revisionist history exists.
how about brandon urie?
@@murdocniccals3260 wtf 😂
@@justinlast2lastharder749 You can blatantly find stage drums and masks on them during 96/97 performance videos, even before Corey joined. Maybe the jumpsuits were inspired sure, but they weren’t signed until 98..
Mick’s mask is one of my favorites, fits him very well
I personally really liked volume 6 Corey mask after he fixed the cheeks with stitches (I like how he can customize it with different styles of face paint underneath a lot)
The kabuki mask is haunting. I love it. It reminds me of bucket head, in the way that it’s emotionless and never-changing. Though of course we know, BH never changes. And from what I am seeing, neither does the intensity of Slip Knot. I was never a huge fan, and considered them over rated. As I grow older, I understand.
What a great time to talk about slipknot right??
Thank you for this! I've always wondered about the masks
Do some external research, because the information in the video is not 100% correct.
My mind is more like, "How comfortable are these masks?"
I think considering they are custom made for them, probably pretty comfortable
I ALWAYS LIKED COREYS SUBLIMINAL VERSES LEATHERFACE TYPE MASK
MICKS MASKS
JOEYS MASKS
PAULS SHATTERED BLACK ALL HOPE IS GONE MASK
JIM ROOTS ALL HOPE IS GONE MASK
🤘🏻SLIPKNOT FOREVER🤘🏻
ROCK IN PEACE PAUL & JOEY
🙏🥀🥀
GONE BUT NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN...

HOW MUCH SPEED DID YOU TAKE THIS MORNING
@@MRRU-uz7ej *THEN WRITE IT IN BOLD DUDE*

My friend Tate Steinsiek worked on a mask for Sid just this past year. Got to see some of the progress.
I love how Mick's mask never really changed. It fits him perfectly. But, my favorite mask will always be Pinocchio
Also, I liked Corey's new mask, the clear-ish one. I thought it looked pretty dope. Way different than what I'd expect him with, but I still liked it.
R.I.P. Number 1 , legends live forever!
Everyone wears a mask. I'd have to shave mine off though.
Corey's "The Gray Chapter" and "The end, so far" masks are awesome!
Clown's Iowa mask was pretty cool too.
As someone who's recent got into D&D as an adult, that Werewolf game sounds intriguing lol
RIP Joey
Really the entire group looked legendary during the all hope is gone album. Psychosocial music video is hard rock and metal at its peak. Rip Paul and Joey. Music is never the same because of those brilliant minds.
My teenager son was a huge fan of Slipknot, and I remember the posters... I feared those masks so badly, lol - love the explanation, it demystifies them.
Kudos to Slipknot for never changing their image. Keep Rocking Out Guys Y’all are still as incredible as ever.
Corey latest mask sucks. His Vol 3 mask was my favorite. Joey Jordison stuck to the basics and I love it!
looks like a milk jug with holes lmao
@@iLurid_ with the make up under it, it looks like a clear plastic spoon chucky.
Rest in piece Joey Jordison. You will be greatly missed 😔🙏
Indeed
Nice explanations. Thanks for sharing.
Weekend Stuff
This is an absolutely awesome video
RIP Joey… I’m glad you didn’t have to suffer through your last moments. You are loved and will always be remembered
explained very clearly, thank you!
also rest in peace joey we miss you...
This is horrible. So many inaccuracies. If you haven't watched it all ready check out Every Slipknot Member Mask Ever videos on the House of Masks channel.
@@rabidcujocrazy7462 i know him
They did a terrible job lmao. Especially on Joey's parts.
R.I.P Joey Jordison. I honestly didn't expect his death to affect me this much but it did. I'll always love his drumming.
This is kinda more of a historical view rather than their actual meanings in my opinion.
- Craig Jones' mask means that you'll get hurt if you try to get "close" with him, so he has the needles to keep you away.
- Shawn and Jim have masks that represent their personalities of a clown and a jester (A clown is more crazy and manianical, imagine a clown with bloodshot eyes. While Jim is the one to make you laugh like a jester that has to entertain his king).
- Sids mask has something to do with breathing, maybe its a condition he has/had which is why he had a gas mask and a skull.
- Paul's AHIG mask was just supposed to represent death.
- Joey's mask was just supposed to show an empty or blank expression but the video still talked about his mask
Everyone else's masks in the video are rather spot on
To my knowledge, Tom Savini didnt help design Coreys mask. The design was Coreys idea on its own, and thats why Tom didnt understand all the hate he got. As he put it himself, he simply just made exactly what Corey wanted.
Micks mask has always been my favorite! With how big he looked among the rest of them it just fit him perfectly! Glad he never changed it
Giving a like, and subscribe, because of the comments at the end about Coreys mask!
i appreciate this video
11:15 those stars on the forehead are not pentagrams (penta =5) but nonagrams (Nona = 9, representing the nine different members of the band)
Mick looks like he would rip you apart in seconds and that's why his mask is my favorite
I remember watching their first group interview and just thinking they all looked like different types of serial killers and monsters. You had your complete psychotic, unpredictable characters like Sid and Clown, the silent killers like Mick and Craig and Paul, the expressionless intimidation of James and Joey, and the obscene looks of Chris and Corey.
I love masks, Anytime I am at a store and I see one I always put it on. It's just the feeling of being something different and looking scary it is so mesmerizing.
I'm scared already mista!
Joey Jordison was alive when Weinberg joined the band. The masks that they wore weren't bland out of respect. Clown said that the new guys tried to design masks and they didn't come up with good designs so the band just did it themselves.
I always thought Mick's mask was the scariest, just because he is a huge hulking dude and it makes him look like a slasher flick monster. Sid's new mask for The End, So Far is awesome with a disembodied head sitting on the table that moves it's face and sings and stuff. It's wicked.
Slipknot are pretty iconic, even games do take inspiration from them, those mask are pretty memorable, and the horror theme, great band...
I’m thinking I should make a reaction video to this video because WOW it’s bad
Agreed.
do it bro 😭 love your vids btw
Yes, please do AJ.
Do it
Yup
Craig's has always been my fav. It's the epitome of misanthropic introversion.
My favorite masks from the band are:
Corey's Vol 3 mask - he mentioned it was inspired by Leatherface and TCM is one of my favorite movies
Joey's AHIG mask - that thing just looked cool
Sid's WANYK and TESF masks: both of his recent ones just look great, they're creative, and he clearly puts in a lot of work and thought into each mask. Nothing against the other members, just feel like Sid's creativity shines with his masks
I really like Corey's latest mask, especially because of the negative reaction it got. He's playing a villain with it, and it's working. He did modify it so it fits better when singing, but lost some of that edge.
The silicone mask isnt is latest mask anymore. He has a new one now
I always looked at Slipknot masks like they were a mask a serial killer might wear. If you listen to the lyrics on MFKR and self titled it's very serial killer/horror vibes.
I think I read a few years ago that the zipper on Jim's older masks represents that he's quite when meeting new people. As he got more comfortable he wouldn't shut the hell up so the zipper was added to shut him up.
Whats yalls top 5 favorite masks? Comment below
Mine is :
#1 iowa corey
#2 iowa chris
#3 vol3 sid
#4 tortilla man
#5 iowa mick
Who else just loves every Corey and Mick mask?
sids creepy teeth in his mask are his real teeth 💀
Mick & Joey’s masks have always been my favorites
Great content
RIP JOEY WE’LL NEVER FORGET YOU
Jim Root had Always scared me. Hahah
I think Corey's new mask looks fine. It's more easier to change the look every performance. It's based on his face paint underneath the mask. Which is kinda cool imo.
Sick video!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼
mans didnt even mention corey's best mask? vol 3
"When Mick Thompson wore a hockey mask on the cover of their first album"
[zooms in on Joey Jordison]
Incredible - I'm amazed beyond belief!
Great video guys🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Coreys first mask wasn’t a bondage mask, it was a crash test dummy mask. He pulled his dreads through and eventually attached them to it. Proper Research should have easily shown that. Jim wore a bondage hood and pulled his purple hair through it but it did not fit in properly so he ditched it
Also it’s not a Pentagram (5 point star) it’s a Nonagram (9 point star)
Stone sour wasn't really Corey's side project, Slipknot was, as Corey had already established Stone SOur before joining Slipknot, they just hadn't made it big.
Missed out on Coreys Vol. 3 mask which was my favorite. Especially with his colorful hair.
Really informative video. Always wanted to know! Pin head mask my favorite cause the movie hellraiser. My mom and dad were going to name me Kerstin from that movie.
rest in peace Joey and Paul❤️
Mick Thomson looks like Michael Myers
