true. jess, but at least punk was something genuinely new at the time.

Not really. It had been around for quite some time. I mean, not as punk, but if you listen to some garage tunes, it sounds very similar, no? So it wasn't like it came out of the blue. Secondly I don't see *new* as an inherently good thing. Why does it have to be new to be good?

And the new masks are even better in person.

A couple of years ago when Slipknot played Roseland just before Subliminal Verses came out, I went backstage to visit Corey (vocalist). I'd interviewed him for Alternative Press and told him stories about the porn magazine I was editing at the time. So I got to the dressing room door and asked one of the guys who came out to tell him that "Phil from High Society is here." He came out a minute later laughing and said, "Dude, my wife is in there! You should have seen the look she gave me!"

I'm a total Slipknot apologist. Their lyrics and appproach are dopey dogshit, but you can't deny that they do more with "sound" than any other metal band outside of Strapping Young Lad. Christ, there's fucking NINE of them, and itdoesn't sound like a goddamn mess. Also, they bring it live.

This isn't to say that you need more than one record to get their "deal." Their new live record is pretty righteous in that you can actually hear all three drummers on it, so it's a lot heavier than their overprocessed studio albums.

Cool - maybe I'll pick it up. I no longer own Iowa, and never bought Subliminal Verses because the idea of a Slipknot power ballad made me retch. But the price is right for the double live disc - $16.99 at my local place.

"We aren't hiding behind these masks, we're actually revealing more to you than you might think. The mask I wear brings out all the shit inside me that I hate. Plus it hurts like hell, which helps my intensity." "If you feel like talking, you talk, if you don't, you don't" “So many people are like, 'Gimmick, gimmick, gimmick!', Fuck you! You don't know what we're about! Our motto has always been, 'Music First.' Even if the masks and the coveralls weren't there, the music would still be good." - Corey

Guess he died in Urbandale. My brother lives in Urbandale. Nothing really "Urban" about it.
