For the knot, see Slipknot (knot)
Slipknot is a nine-piece Nu-metal group from Des Moines, Iowa. Each member has a number: Sid Wilson - 0, Joey Jordison - 1, Paul Gray - 2, Chris Fehn - 3, James Root - 4, Craig '133' Jones - 5, Shawn 'Clown' Crahan - 6, Mick Thompson -7, and Corey Taylor - 8. Using different styles throughout their career, this band has become one of the most popular Nu metal bands in the world.
The band is noted for its image: the members wear matching boiler suits, and each has an individual mask. On their first major label album, each band member was referred to by first name and number only; the band members are far from secretive about their identities, however, and their full names were present on their second major label album. Five members of the band have been photographed without masks: Vocalist Corey Taylor and guitarist Jim Root with their band Stone Sour, drummer Joey Jordison with his side-project Murderdolls, bassist Paul Gray,and DJ Shawn Crahan through mugshots leaked through thesmokinggun.com.
