Slipknot - 10 Year Anniversary

[Slipknot 10 Year Anniversary]

10 years ago the debut album from the 9 piece band from Des Moines had its premiere. Slipknot went on their first real tour. They went on OzzFest and blew everyone away.

10 years ago the self-titled Slipknot album was something probably no body expected to hear, and Slipknot at that time was probably a band no body expected to see. Many people made fun of the band, of the way they looked, with all these masks and jumpsuits.
But Slipknot never cared. They said "Fuck You" and stayed true to themselves, stayed true to the music. Many things were against them. They were (and still are) a nine piece band from Des Moines, IA, with masks, playing brutal music. There were many people who said that the band won't survive, but after 10 years Slipknot is as strong, if not stronger, as they were back in '99.

June 29, 1999... That was the day that changed the music world. Well, actually the world was never the same after Slipknot's first show at OzzFest in West Palm Beach. People could witness the energy and complete insanity when Slipknot performed live. A month after Slipknot's first OzzFest show the self-titled album, a 15 song disasterpiece, had its premiere.

During these 10 years Slipknot infected many people, who changed into maggots. The real maggots are still with the band, and Slipknot continues their plan. And the plan is to infect as many people as possible. Infect them with the sickness. That's Slipknot.

10 years ago Slipknot changed everything. After that nothing was the same. And still nothing is the same. And nothing will ever be the same again.

Nothing...
