Q: What is the My Plague (New Abuse Mix)?

A: An edited version of the hit song off their lastest release Iowa. It was made for radio play and music video purposes. Paul(#2) said they decided just to make a re-mix version, instead of ruining the song by 'beeping' out parts of the song.

Q: Why does Slipknot have 9 members?

A: As Shawn(#6) says... it brings the music alive, and more powerful. I also agree, because with 9 guys going crazy on stage... you can't go wrong.

Q: How come Shawn(#6) and Chris(#3) don't use their percussion sets?

A: Well on Iowa they more or less jump around on their sets, and do backup vocals... opposed to playing them like they did a lot during their self-titled album.

Q: Slipknot is just mainstream metal, right?

A: Nah... mainstream metal would be Linkin Park, or Korn, who make their music more 'popish' and accessible to young people. Being popular doesn't make you mainstream.

Q: Why do people say Mick(#7) and James(#4) suck on guitar?

A: Well usually they are ignorant newbie metal heads, who still think Dimebag is the master of guitar. Also Mick has said he wrote more shredding riffs and solos for their songs, but by the time they record it they leave it out because it doesn't quite fit the songs. Mick says though that the next album should be more intense riffs and possibly solos this time.

Q: Why did Slipknot rip-off Mushroomhead?

A: Uh wrong, Slipknot in no way ripped of Shitroomhead. There are tons of bands who wear masks and jumpsuits. Infact Mushroomhead didn't even start the jumpsuit thing till like 2 or 3 years ago, AFTER Slipknot already was doing it. Mushroomhead and their fans are just whyning cause their band sucks and Slipknot dominates them. The reason Mushroomhead isn't popular is cause only people in their hometown Cleveland like them.
