During a recent interview with Metal Hammer, Slipknot percussionist M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan offered more insight into the upcoming 25th anniversary edition of the band’s self-titled album. According to him, the expanded reissue will feature “the best of all things Slipknot.”
Clown said the following:
“I’m fully involved with putting together a reissue package, because I’m the band caretaker. I’m the one that held everything over the years: all the DAT tapes from the [sound]board from all our first shows, all the videotapes from studio sessions at SR Audio and Indigo Ranch, different test mixes that we gave to other people that we said ‘No’ to at that time and that were never released, but are amazing.
They would never have been listened to 25 years ago, but now that the golden egg has been laid, and everyone knows it, you’re not going to listen to another mix and go, ‘This is better’, you’re just gonna go, ‘Wow, this is Slipknot like this, 25 years ago.’”
He also added:
“There’s new artwork, new photos from the time, there’s so much music that’s so punk rock from board tapes, there’s video documents, there’s a lot – audio, visuals, everything. It’s the best of all things Slipknot.”
