      He mentioned a while back that while on tour he ate a lot of fast food which I guess made him bigger, but I see he's cut down a lot on that. I just hope he isn't sick and isn't telling anyone.

    Kinda funny I was briefly in the scene then left and moved to TN from 93-97. Missed so many good local bands in that time period including Bodypit. When I came back everyone was talking about Slipknot.. Listened to the CD MFKR.. Was like huh? This is popular? Hadn't seem them live yet. Finally did then the light went on.. Then of course after hearing their RR debut.. Just blew me away. Been a proud fan ever sense. Sadly not too many local bands have done anthing since. A few have done pretty well.. Dead Horse Trauma, Index Case, Saul, Destrophy, Widow 7, Painface.. Of course non of my bands lol.

    I believe he believes everything he is saying - but not everyone agrees. I think it has to do with age and what sounds people grew up with. Personally, I do not like active pickups and the Fishman's are no different in that regard - Just because I don't like them does not mean they aren't good - they are good. I have them in 3 guitars and I enjoy the sounds. They sound good, they perform just fine and I can use them no problem. The thing is, for me, I prefer the sound of passive pickups...and that's all there is to it....at 60 years old, I also don't like too much technology in guitar equipment or batteries in my guitar - so that's my opinion. Les Paul, Tele, Strat and a Charvel, Tube amp, passive pickups a cable and a pick. If you can't make that sound good, then the problem lies elsewhere.

      Well, it was Clown, Anders, and Paul, and everyone in Des Moines thought that Slipknot and Stone Sour were the best local bands there in battle of the bands. So the others likely saw what Clown was doing and that eventually infected them enough to join in. Pair that with the 7-8 members outside of the founders and bam you had the most iconic Slipknot lineup.
