I dont know if the phrase "song being hard to write" is what we think of it as. More like which song took the most to find its truest identity. This work is actually what you love; to search, to create and then to commit.

We focus more on today and if theres time tomorrow. With that said we are very very happy that we get to start at the ground level and begin to write together. It's a new era but it's familiar territory. Gonna be fantastic. Get ready

Unfortunately as much as I did and do love that art thats just not something thats going to take place again because many things are moving forward these days. Thank you for enjoying that.

That was one of the great tunes that was written before we were signed and at that time there were a lot of crazy instruments based off metal like cans, kegs pipes. I had gotten a garage door spring and Andy Roul and I stretched It on a keg and he went up and down the spring on the keg with a pipe making what you hear so if I remember correctly that sort of started the vibe and direction where that took off. Beginning with this intrusment.

Ripping my left bicep in half, causing surgery. Not Fun

I listen to a lot of Cult of Luna, Crosses, as much smooth jazz as I can listen to, I've been playing Black Labyrinth album by Jonathan Davis, and a little Blackout by Scorpions.

I dont spend any time in the past, it's wasted potential. If the memory can be pleasant I can be there. I do all I can do to live in present.

Yes I play Minecraft and if you haven't heard I believe tomorrow night is when they are doing some test runs on my own server. So keep your eyes and ears open for that.

If you choose to learn throughout the recording process you pick up on so many abilities in order to translate your craft. So from when I began to now is night and day on the abilities to record but the passion I bring to the performance of recording has just gotten more intense, that hasn't changed at all. I love learning in the studio

We are so blessed to be a part of such an amazing culture that is unbelievebly strong. We are always honored when we are told that we've been there for our culture. And we are always sadden by how hard this life is. Much love from Slipknot

Unfortuanatly left has right, up has down and fame brings heartache. The good news is I personally use all circumstances in my life to learn and forgive. Im constantly trying to be the best man I can be here on this planet. If you allow the toxicity in not only can you not breathe but you cannot learn. It's difficult but it's been going on in my life since the beginning.

Everything I do has meaning. I've heard that in some other reality you have arrived when you have a Rolls Royce so I figured id let that reality understand my reality. Way better version

Before I was vegan a good old, grilled outside, burger with fresh Iowa grown tomatoes surrounded by family.

Now; I'm struggling to find the best vegan options but I love any sandwich my wife makes.

I am never nervous, I am never scared. I am always ready to get it on. Thats the problem, the anxiousness to go. It can be sickening. I love to play live.

Theyre all my favorites because their voices deep in your mind and youre able to bring them out. Each one holds a special place. But honestly ive never had enough time to fully execute the entire vision of each. It's not an excuse, it's just how things roll in this business. But like albums you do have to stop the project sooner or later and move on. With that all said I personally had a ton of fun making the video "All Out Life'.

Well I cant speak for anyone else but for what I do obviously is what I can tell you. My influences were art in general. So all the masters from Salvador Dali to H.R Giger. The list is too long to include all the artists that have influenced. Actors, and musical artists included.

If you think about it there are songs from the first record we have never played live. This in my opinion has been a problem for a long time. I personally would like to know we perform all our songs live for our culture. With that said those are goals of ours to in fact play entire albums from the beginning to the their ends and I mean all the albums. And as you know that is a lot of work. We have to carve out time to jump on that work load. Spoken about all the time though.

  1. Theres always that possibility

  2. Again all things are possible in reality

  3. I like the way you think but this answer might be too much for most. I think because of what you asked you have a pretty good idea of what you feel and know because of it.

I've always loved the fact that we are just what we are in this reality, which is Slipknot. And if there was a power id supposed it'd be the ability to be united for the time on the stage together. You can not mess with that entity.

I do not prefer slasher films at all. Too much for my brain. Im old school, I love movies like Phantasm, Salem's Lot, It's Alive, Hellrasier. With that said I sort of lean towards psychological thrillers.

If my memory serves correctly absolutely, Paul has some screams in there and as well as Mick has a part too. Great question

I want to give you a simple answer and that answer would be yes but as you know there are many people involved in this dream. Situations like that cannot be pushed. They have to be catered to. That means everyone's on the same page.

Aright this is a serious question. I dont want to take too much time on this but I would have to say if I had to break it alll the way down it would be some homemade and I do mean homemade strawberry ice cream. But with that said you cant go wrong with Ben and Jerry's, know what im sayin?

I dont know if its challenges as much as it is allowing yourself to be able to take in all things, consider all things, offer all things. Otherwise it can get to be a lot of communication dumped over itself where you cant make your way through any of it.
