The communion Slipknot share with their fans, whom they call “maggots,” makes touring worth it for Crahan. “You have all these people struggling with their cultural, social themes, transgender issues, divorce, death, poverty, money, the workforce, you name it,” he says. “Everything that’s going on, we help everyone get back to work tomorrow.”
Nevertheless, opening for the Nine has been a dream come true for the band. “For me, personally, I’m a massive fan of Slipknot, so the full-circle aspect of it was crazy,” Garris says. “On top of that, they’re playing such a niche set. So to be able to like witness that is really, really exciting every day.”In flashing back at their beginnings, Slipknot’s members decided to pay tribute to their original look, wearing masks and red coveralls, but with a twist.
In addition to bringing baby Sidney on the road, Osbourne has appreciated seeing Sid on this tour playing the music he did when she first saw Slipknot. “It’s so full circle, because they’re touring the album that introduced me to them, now,” she says. “And it’s, like, the same set as 1999 all over again. It is so much fun to see them play all their old stuff again. It’s been really nostalgic, if I’m honest.
Asked if it’s true the band all said “Fuck New York” before going onstage at Madison Square Garden, Crahan didn’t hold back. “It’s ‘Fuck New York,’ it’s, ‘Fuck Madison Square Garden,’ because if we give in to , it will take from us in a way that we will not be able to provide what you need, and that’s unacceptable to us. So we can’t think about the pressure of where we are, and I’m certainly not going to compare the New York kids to the Indianapolis kids. They’re all our kids.
“I was watching a guy last night, and obviously I’m on stage and this dude’s about 12th row on the floor,” the percussionist says. “We start ‘Scissors’ and I’m watching this kid. He can’t believe we’re playing that song. In my brain, I took him as a guitar player because it felt to me the way he was reacting was just like he couldn’t believe that was the tone. The guitar tone he’s fallen in love with is now being zapped out of fucking big speakers.
