Slipknot: Inside the Sickness, Behind the Masks With an Intro by Ozzy Osbourne and Afterword by Gene Simmons Details
"The only plan right now is to kill everybody" Joey Jordison, drummerIgnoring every rule in the book and more besides, Slipknot are a notoriously controversial band who combine a talent for outrage with their music. Reminiscent of the outlandishness of punk, 'nu metal' has become the fastest growing area in rock, with Slipknot selling over 2 million copies of their debut album. And yet Slipknot spit, swear and risk injury night after night in their extraordinary live performances. Incredibly, their apparel of masks and boiler suits, which they refuse to remove, means that their fans still do not know what they look like. Jason Arnopp, the first British journalist to interview Slipknot face to mask, describes the transformation of the Des Moines crew into unorthodox mega stars. Featuring an introduction by the legendary Gene Simmons of Kiss, this biography will be the first published on the band either in the UK or America and will include exclusive interviews and in-depth information on the mysterious nine masked men.
Reviews
After reading this book, I found myself asking many questions about the band. That is because the Author didn't do a good enough job in his research.Slipknot, therefore, remains somewhat of a mystery. There is really not a lot known about these guys. Considering the lack of information available on this band, I guess this book is worth reading. But honestly, you might be better off waiting for a more extensive book, which hopefully, someone will write in the future.More importantly, is the fact that this book was written at a time when Iowa was being recorded. Since we're almost in the year 2013, and since Slipknot has released two more studio albums since Iowa, this book is extremely outdated.This book is definitely only worth reading if you're a hard-core Slipknot fanatic.
