Before Slipknot wore identical coveralls, Corey
wore a priest costume. This earned him the nickname ?Faith?, which
he still hates to this day.
At 6?6?, Jim Root is the tallest band
member.
Contrary to popular belief, James is taller than
Mick.
The picture on the cover of Slipknot was taken in
Shawn?s parents? garage. It shows the band members with all their
original masks.
The sample in the beginning of the song (sic), when

Spit It Out video.

blue.
After Corey was asked to be in the band, he didn?t
tell the band he was going to join until a week later.
Corey originally wanted to play drums in the band.
Craig?s first ?mask? was actually an old racing
helmet.
Originally, Craig joined Slipknot as a

Kong.

a teenager.
Craig has had whiplash from headbanging too
hard.
Mick is a ?night person? and loves cats.
Jim paints his fingernails black.
Spit It Out is the first song that Corey and
Slipknot put together from scratch as a whole band. All the other
songs were already written or they just re-did them.
The word ?hate? is written on all Mick?s
guitars.
Paul lived in Los Angeles before moving to Des
Moines.
Back in the early Slipknot days, Sid would set his
records and himself on fire during shows. He only stopped because
the fire marshal said he would be arrested for attempted
suicide.
Sid?s family is from England.
Paul is half black.
The term ?maggots? used to describe Slipknot fans
was first used by Joey. He said that when he looked out onto the
crowd during a concert, to him it seemed that the fans were ?feeding

wear a mask.
The album Iowa was released in 2001, as a tribute
to the bands home town of Des Moines, Iowa, USA.
