Clown Confirms Full Album Performance
In an electrifying interview with Kerrang!, Shawn “Clown” Crahan, the visionary percussionist and co-founder of Slipknot, shared thrilling details about the band’s highly anticipated 2024 tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of their groundbreaking 1999 self-titled LP. The revelation? Slipknot will unleash the full force of the album live, ensuring an unparalleled experience for their dedicated fanbase.
A Soulful Promise
Responding passionately, Clown declared, “Are you joking right now? You’re talking about the anniversary of one of the greatest metal albums ever released. I’m not going to live forever. That album is the vehicle of my soul, the memories, the heartache of lost brothers and sisters — we’re still doing it.”
Intimate Club Shows on the Horizon
Teasing with the prospect of intimate shows, Clown hinted at surprising fans with small-scale performances. “We’re going to have fun, too. So that means small shows, and you won’t know until you hear it. If you heard it, you’re already too late. So you better open up your soul, because then you’ll feel it, and you won’t have to hear it. I’m being very serious.”
The Exciting Journey Ahead
Looking ahead to 2024, Clown emphasized the unpredictability of the upcoming tour. “It’s really going to be an exciting 2024, and I think things are going to happen that you wouldn’t think ever could.”
The Everlasting Spirit of Slipknot
While acknowledging his mortality, Clown expressed his commitment to Slipknot’s enduring legacy. “Sometimes I’m scared to think that I’ll be 70, pretending to slam while playing ‘(sic).’ But the crazy thing is, you and I both know that it’s possible. We just have this thing that I’m really blessed to be a part of.”
A Journey Through Time
As Slipknot gears up for their UK/European tour in December 2024, including festival appearances in the US, fans can secure their spot for this historic celebration. The self-titled album, a defining moment in metal history, will come to life on stage, echoing the raw energy and emotion that marked its creation 25 years ago.
Unleashing 25 Years of Metal Fury
Slipknot, the masked metal juggernaut, is set to embark on a 2024 tour, commemorating the 25th anniversary of their monumental 1999 self-titled album. Recently unveiling additional UK/European dates alongside confirmed US festival appearances, the band teased the impending tour with a cryptic video, “Here Comes the Pain,” on social channels.
Unveiling the Legacy
In a Metal Hammer interview, percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan shared, “It’s been 25 years since we first played on the continent, and we’re ready to make more memories. I’m thrilled to bring our 25-year Anniversary tour to Europe and the UK. Be prepared for an energy you’ve never experienced before. It’s happening.”
The Album That Defined an Era
Slipknot’s self-titled 1999 album, their debut in essence despite 1996’s “Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.,” catapulted them to superstardom. Anthems like “Wait and Bleed,” “Surfacing,” and “Spit It Out” remain staples in their dynamic setlists.
The Slipknot Evolving Lineup
Despite recent lineup changes, with only five original members remaining, including Clown, Corey Taylor, Mick Thomson, Jim Root, and Sid Wilson, Slipknot stays true to their electrifying essence. The departure of drummer Jay Weinberg, who replaced Joey Jordison a decade ago, has left fans anticipating the unveiling of the band’s new rhythmic force. Stay tuned for an unforgettable celebration of metal history on Slipknot’s 2024 tour!
Who Will Be Playing Drums For Slipknot?
Jay Weinberg, a vital force in Slipknot since 2014, marked the end of an era with his departure. Slipknot, in a heartfelt expression, lauded Weinberg’s unwavering commitment and passion throughout his nearly decade-long journey with the band. Recognizing that no one could replicate Joey Jordison’s originality, Weinberg commendably honored his legacy, contributing significantly to the band’s last three albums.
In pursuit of evolution and artistic growth, Slipknot, with a mix of nostalgia and anticipation, announced the creative decision to part ways with Weinberg, extending warm wishes for his future endeavors. The band and fans alike cherish Weinberg’s invaluable contributions, eagerly reflecting on the memorable journey and awaiting the next chapter for both Slipknot and the talented drummer.
