From this roster, five members are still in the band; the other four (Gray, Jordison, percussionist Chris Fehn and keyboardist/sampler Craig Jones) left in cases of dismissal or unexpected death. The band has since recruited a new bassist (Alessandro Venturella), percussionist (Michael Pfaff), and sampler (currently unknown); a new drummer (Jay Weinberg) was also recruited, but the band announced in 2023 that it would "part ways" with him.The band's sound began as a mix of normal heavy metal with shades of more extreme metal styles alongside a down-tuned guitar setup, extensive percussion and turntablism, creating darkness and intensity complemented by the band's energy and lead vocalist Corey Taylor's catchy songwriting. The band was and is routinely classified as nu metal, a label which they went on record distancing themselves from and claiming was only assigned to them as their rise was simultaneous with that of the genre. The band has dubbed their style of music "metal metal".While the band had always incorporated melodies into their music, notably through Taylor singing instead of screaming/rapping, their early style gave way to more experimentation firmly based in melody, with all of their output from their third studio album Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) onwards showing explicit influence from genres including alternative metal and rock.Slipknot is also known for their distinct image, with members wearing individual masks and matching jumpsuits, as well as all members in their most famous roster going by a number from 0 to 8. These elements were designed as a way to emphasize the importance of the band's music as opposed to their identities, and as a response to the commercial practices of the music industry at the time. The members were presented as products, with masks instead of pretty faces, coveralls instead of trendy fashion, and numbers instead of names. Ironically, these stylistic choices have gone on to become one of the band's defining traits, with a large aspect of each album era being how the mask of each member changes in appearance, reflecting their change as a person.Slipknot has become one of the most successful and popular modern bands in the metal genre, and their concerts have given them a reputation matched by few other bands as an absolute must-see live.

Slipknot (Music) / int_1da5941e	comment	The Quiet One: Jones zigzags this. While he can be chatty and usually talks to fans after concerts, he typically doesn't show up for group interviews or, if he does, usually only answers the question of what he would be doing if he weren't in a band: he would be out driving a forklift somewhere, or out killing people. It's been insinuated by the other band members that he is simply a very private person who is uncomfortable with fame and has cultivated a standoffish persona in an effort to get people to leave him alone. Thomson, while not quite as reclusive as Jones, is also known for keeping a low profile, though touring death metal acts hitting the Des Moines area can generally expect to see him pop up and say hi.

Slipknot (Music) / int_2a7e7af1	comment	Limited Wardrobe: The jumpsuits, although when All Hope Is Gone came around, each member came up with a unique costume design, as can be seen in the page image of the lineup from 2008. They now bounce back and forth between these getups and the jumpsuits. Venturella and Weinberg wore nearly-identical masks during the .5 era, as the band felt that to immediately give them the same status as their predecessors would be seen as disrespectful. Apparently, they had been given the challenge to design a mask for themselves, but after failing to produce a result of sufficient quality, the privilege was revoked. As of We Are Not Your Kind, they've both finally succeeded in impressing the others with their mask designs. Whilst promoting We Are Not Your Kind and amidst the legal conflict between Chris Fehn and the band, their official photoshoot as well as "Unsainted" featured a new percussionist in a generic-looking mask that looks more like a low-budget zombified Gregor Clegane than the burlap masks Venturella and Weinberg wore on their debut.

Not even the band seemed to hold them in high regard initially, and weren't afraid to publicly lambaste them. Taylor and Crahan, however, said that this was a method of testing them, to see if they could deal with the pressure of possibly being the permanent replacements for two longtime members. Given that they're already on their third album, it seems they'll be staying a while, until Weinberg was unexpectedly fired in late 2023.

Slipknot (Music) / int_48b9731f	comment	Paper-Thin Disguise: Jay Weinberg. Root went on record as having vowed to never reveal the drummer's identity, claiming no one was sure if he'd stick around or not; that being said, his height, hair color and length, and disclosed background elements lined up with Weinberg, and the setup that was seen at Knotfest (SJC Custom snare, toms, and kicks and Zildjian cymbals, both of which have been used extensively by Weinberg over the course of his career; additionally, SJC is a fairly small-time manufacturer, so there's less of a chance for false positives) was probably the strongest indicator that the rumors were true. Sometimes called the worst-kept secret in music of 2014; within a few months of his joining, a disgruntled former drum tech leaked an itinerary list onto Instagram that finally confirmed both him and Alessandro Venturella. Alessandro is probably even worse. Tip for you guys: want to keep your new bassist's identity a secret? Make sure his hand tattoos aren't visible. Taylor has even laughingly conceded they simply didn't think of that one.

The house belonged to a fan and needed drastic remodeling anyway, so they were allowed to be as aggressive with it as possible. They ended up doing even more damage than was expected, forcing the label to pay compensation. Although "All Out Life"'s video has shades of "Duality"'s, it averts the trope by way of not having much to trash.

Slipknot (Music) / int_5ade32d1	comment	Metal Scream: Corey Taylor uses all four types, with type 1 being the most common. Anders mostly stuck to a Type 1, though he used 2 and 3 as well - his main voice was a midrange bellow comparable to Phil Anselmo and Max Cavalera, though he also occasionally used gutturals and sludge metal howls.

He even broke both his feet by jumping from a piece of equipment, which Taylor later poked fun at by yelling "You broke your fucking feet, Sid!" while Wilson was on stage in a wheelchair.

Slipknot (Music) / int_62259825	comment	Nintendo Hard: Most of the band's songs aren't really of at least average difficulty in the rhythm games where they appeared. "Before I Forget" is one of the harder songs in Guitar Hero III and the Rock Band series, especially on Rock Band 3, where it has Pro-modenote actual strings guitar playing and two added cymbals. As of December 2012, there are only 2 of over 2100 Harmonix-charted songs that have never been full-comboed on guitar.note hitting 100% of the notes without overstrumming or mishitting "Pulse of the Maggots" is one of the two.note To be fair, this is because both of the solos are charted in an incredibly haphazard and flat-out nonsensical manner that outright does not match the actual music whatsoever. Blame Harmonix for this one.

Taylor acknowledges and confronts this in the Stone Sour song, "Freeze Dry Seal", admitting that while he may not be a flowery poet, that doesn't make his lyrics (and his beliefs) any less real.

Wilson gets close-ups of his mouth, hands, and DJ table. Jordison is only seen from behind, slightly out of focus. Gray's hands, bass, neck (with necklace) and eyes are shown in close-up. Fehn is mostly shown in the foreground, but only his hands, arms, and legs. Root and Thomson's only closeups are their hands, arms, guitars, and legs. In keeping with his reclusive nature, Jones is the only band member who is always out of focus, with just the side of his head and hands visible. Crahan is mostly seen wildly headbanging in the background, but does get close-ups of his mouth when shouting "I!" in the choruses. Taylor gets close-ups of his mouth, eyes, hand, foot, and hair.

Slipknot (Music) / int_df1793de	type	Updated Re-release
Slipknot (Music) / int_df1793de	comment	Updated Re-release: Slipknot has been released five times (six if you count the demo version). These include: The standard edition released in 1999. The Digipak special edition accompanying the standard edition (contains two bonus tracks and two demos). The hidden track "Eeyore" originally appeared after the final song "Scissors", while this version contains "Eeyore" after the final bonus track "Despise" (this version of "Scissors" is edited to include only the basic song). The reissue months later after the copyright controversy concerning the song "Purity" (the lyrics were inspired by a copyrighted story which Taylor thought was true). The Digipak special edition accompanying the reissue excludes "Purity" and the sample drama "Frail Limb Nursery" accompanying the removed track. It also includes "Get This", a faster version of "Spit It Out", and a version of "Wait and Bleed" mixed by producer Terry Date, alongside a live performance of "Surfacing" as the final track. "Eeyore" is once again moved to a different track ("Surfacing" live) in order to appear at the very end of the album (after "Porn and Weed", which itself appears after "Surfacing" Live, making for three hidden tracks in a single track). The 10th Anniversary Edition is effectively the definitive edition. It contains nearly every song mentioned above, including "Purity" ("Frail Limb Nursery" was not included because of copyright issues), and "Eeyore" is finally made into a separate track (placed between "Scissors and "Me Inside"). It also features "Snap" (a song only released on the demo version), three bonus remixes of "Wait and Bleed", "Surfacing" and "(sic)", and a live DVD. Iowa also had a 10th Anniversary Edition, which features a bonus mix of "My Plague", a second disc consisting of live audio tracks from the London 2002 concert and a DVD including rare footage, interviews and music videos. Vol. 3 had a CD-exclusive Special Edition released about a year after its standard edition, which features a second disc including two tracks that were previously cut from the standard edition, a different mix of "Vermilion", an extended version of "Danger - Keep Away", and several live tracks. All Hope Is Gone received a Special Edition with two bonus tracks and a mix of "Vermilion Pt. 2" from Vol. 3, and a 10th Anniversary Edition with a second disc containing live tracks. .5 had a Special Edition with two bonus tracks. Like in the case of "Eeyore" from Slipknot, the three hidden tracks from the album's standard edition were placed after said bonus tracks to remain as the last tracks in the release.

Slipknot (Music) / int_ea454c4a	comment	Surprisingly Gentle Song: Obsession Song or not, "Vermillion Pt. 2" is a very slow and gentle track that those more familiar with the band's nu-metal side and aggressive reputation would not have expected.note In fact, it's the song that inspired the trope. Also, "Circle" and "Snuff". Their early singles tended to be softer than the rest of the album they came from. Examples include "Wait and Bleed" and "Spit It Out" from the self-titled album, and "My Plague" and "Left Behind" from Iowa. While these tracks are still relatively heavy in their own right, especially the latter two, they feature more melody and clean vocals than the rest of those albums.

Meanwhile, its 10th Anniversary Edition uses a completely different photo for the cover, capturing the famous goat head on the cover at a different angle. The CD-exclusive Special Edition of Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) has a heavily edited photo of the band's members at the time of release as the cover art (previously used for one of the sleeves of the album's vinyl release), in contrast to the standard edition's "Maggot Mask" photo. In the CD version, the Special Edition cover takes the form of a slipcase over the standard cover. The cover art for the 10th Anniversary Edition of All Hope Is Gone is a rendition of the standard one, with the band members wearing large statue-like masks (again, these masks were featured in internal photos of the album) and a yellow sky. As well as its standard cover, The End, So Far has nine covers of each of the band members for a series of CD-exclusive limited edition releases that could only be acquired by pre-ordering them before the album's official release.

Slipknot (Music) / int_fad03174	comment	Scary Musician, Harmless Music: They could be considered a downplayed example. They wear scary costumes, and due to Public Medium Ignorance are often thought of as the poster boys for extremity outside the heavy metal community. Their music, while relatively heavy and explicit by mainstream standards, is definitely not extreme, being an accessible type of metal that can safely be played on mainstream rock radio; though they do have extreme metal influences, and admit it or not, are one of the ways for listeners to get into extreme metal. This is also probably the reason Jordison is regarded as one of the all-time greatest drummers, even though there are many extreme metal drummers who match or exceed his skill.
