The hockey band has been established for five years, and now it is their heyday. The nine members of the band all wear different masks (mainly made of rubber and metal) and name themselves with numbers from 0 to 8. Wilson No.0, drummer Joey Jordison 1 (Joey. Jordan), No.2 bassist Paul Gary (Paul. Gray), drummer Chris Fehn (Chris. Fan En), guitarist Jim Root (Jim. Lute), controller of sampler No.5, Greg Jones. Jones), drummer Shawn Crahan (Shane. Kerry Khan), guitarist Mick Thomson (Mick. Thomson), No.8 singer corey taylor (Clay. Taylor). It is said that replacing names with numbers is to reduce the influence of personality on the whole, thus highlighting the image of the team, while wearing clowns or monster masks is to scare the audience.
The music of the festival band sounds like the madness of the Ministry of Magic, the rage of Marilyn Manson or the variation of the Slayer. They were the first death metal improvisation band with electronic beats. The nine of them eagerly pushed forward the beat of death. They threw themselves into the noise selflessly. No band is so deeply involved. They broke their bones and waved dirty feces wildly. In fact, the nine members of the hockey band were originally honest boys in Idaho. They won't do anything impolite at the most exciting moment, but there is a devil in everyone's soul. The knuckle band released it. When they become upset and angry under the instigation of music, they will beat themselves or their teammates. Klahan, the No.6 drummer, said, "I hit my face, and I was badly hurt every time I performed." There are always fans who stand up and beat themselves like me. They beat their knuckles bloody and their eyes were blue. "
Their second album Slipknot stayed on the announcement album list for 45 weeks. Their lyrics are simple, straightforward and free, and there are also some fighting contents. But few of the nine members live in divorced families, and most of them live a complete American life. Let's listen to what these completely different live band members say: No.6 Klahan: I have a beautiful wife and three healthy sons. I am very happy, but when I come on stage, things will be different, and my eyes will involuntarily turn to the darkest place in my life.
Jordison: I joined this band because I hate everything in the world.
Thompson 7: Many times I stand on the stage and don't want to perform. I really want to throw away the guitar and knock people's teeth out of their mouths. Why am I angry? Because there is a lack of peace, tranquility and loyalty here.
Finn 3: Life on tour is so bad that I'm going crazy. But if there is no music, there will be more murders.
Wilson 0: Every night I go on stage like I'm in a war. I feel scared because a question always haunts me: What am I doing?
Gary II: If I don't own this band, I will become an addict, an alcoholic and do nothing like a beggar.
Jones 5: Life is boring. Everything drives me crazy. If I don't become a music thug in the band, I may go out and kill people.
Gensi: I am a melancholy person. Everyone has a difficult book to read. New troubles always arise, one after another.
Taylor 8: My brain is growling. When I put on the mask, it came out of my mouth.
Drummer Shawn Crahan is 30 years old and used to be an electric welder. 1993, he contacted the local bassist Paul Gary, and Gary called his alumnus and drummer Joey Jordison, who used to oil and dress the body in the funeral home. Graham picked up an abandoned carpet from a pet shop and hung it in his basement, thus forming a training ground with good acoustics. Everyone rehearses here for four hours every day, no matter how much animal droppings that "tapestry" leaves. When they walked out of the rehearsal place, they smelled shame for six hours. Their first album was born in this small basement. New members came and went. 1995, the band added three guitarists, Jim Root, Mick Thomson and Craig Jones (the latter later became a full-time sampler). He declared that he would not be interviewed by the media or anyone), and the addition of DJ Sid Wilson and the third drummer Chris Fehn further expanded the sound effect of the band. Chris Fehn is a football player on the university team and likes the Iron Lady. His mother is an organist in the church. Finn's father has watched three live band performances. He said, "I think this band has brought good things to children." I am 55 years old. I saw that the audience's reaction at the concert was unique and the performance was very attractive. "Finn is the only musician wearing a long nose mask. Take off the mask. He is the healthiest and most handsome one. The last person to join the live music festival band was singer corey taylor. He wrote most of the lyrics of the live music festival. " My mother often loses her job, and I never knew who my father was. I have been homeless for two weeks, "Taylor said. Taylor,/kloc-dropped out of school at the age of 0/8, once worked in a porn shop and worked as a part-time singer in a small band. Taylor said it was great to work in a porn shop, where many of his works were created. The joint band had almost no trouble from formal formation to fame. In the late 1990s, they recorded their first album in the basement of Klahan, which attracted the attention of the music industry.
Then an important performance opportunity came. They appeared in the Ozzfest tour hosted by ozzy osbourne last year. At first, they inevitably encountered some small resistance. After the performance, drummer Joey Jordison met a priest. The priest was obviously angry with the band's performance at the live music festival, and berated Jordison. Some shy fans tried to coax them out of the office. But when people found that this metal band actually had a group of drummers, two guitarists, a DJ and a sampler, they immediately felt very novel. They sacrificed their faces, wore prison clothes and burned their skin during the performance, causing red spots and blisters on their skin. No one dares to laugh at the craziest person on earth. They are not acrobats and magicians. It's true that they play with shit, drink urine, cut themselves, break their ribs and hurt their calves. People are surprised, which is what they want to see. Jordison said, "It's not that we deliberately want to achieve a certain goal, but that music has brought us to that situation."
Jordison didn't really tell the essence of the problem. It was the audience who encouraged them to do so. After the above improvisation, Articulate sold 65,438+05,000 albums in 65,438+0 weeks. The hockey team is just a dirty obituary in music style, and there are only a few more members at most. There are countless bands that are more skilled than them, but the audience prefers one of them because the live band will throw shit at the audience and add a curse: you are all shit.
The phenomenon that holiday bands are all the rage is not an isolated phenomenon. Marilyn Manson, Limp Bizkit, Eminem and Kid Rock introduced by a new generation of fans all have the characteristics of challenging humanity with the help of music. These ignorant children are putting themselves and rock music in danger.
