Who are Slipknot’s fans?
We head down to Slipknot’s Here Comes The Pain tour in Manchester to meet the Maggots that had their lives changed forever by nine masked men from the cornfields…
Slipknot's massive Knotfest Roadshow U.S. tour with Killswitch Engage, FEVER 333 and Code Orange kicked off last night – here's what they played…
Last night (September 28), Slipknot's huge Knotfest Roadshow with Killswitch Engage, FEVER 333 and Code Orange kicked off at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, Illinois.
And after a couple of massive festival dates to get them warmed up over the past few weeks, the headliners unleashed a typically stellar, career-spanning 16-song setlist to get the tour started, opening with We Are Not Your Kind's epic lead single Unsainted, and also featuring that album's tracks Nero Forte and Solway Firth, plus standalone single All Out Life.
In terms of the older stuff, Disasterpiece was aired second in the setlist (oooft!), while the ’Knot also dropped early bangers like Wait And Bleed, Spit It Out, (sic) and Surfacing, as well as other classics such as Duality, Psychosocial and People = Shit. Basically, there's literally no set lull whatsoever, or breaks to run and grab a drink…
