While Slipknot's Clown can't seem to decide on a mask nowadays, there is one thing he's definitely certain about. He really likes his band. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Clown offers no humility when saying:
We're still well beyond everybody else. Because I know every other band and fuck them all, man. I'm in the greatest band in the world, period. End of story. We're the best.
The interview has many interesting morsels of information. For example, you know how Clown can typically be seen high up in the air on his mount bashing kegs? Well, turns out the percussionist has a fear of heights:
They go 15 feet up in the air, and they can spin around forever, because the cables are down the middle. They jerk left and right. They slam up and down. And I designed these things because I'm scared of heights. That's total Slipknot mandatory thinking: to create something I'm scared of, because it will bring something out of me. So I just get up there and fucking cross my fingers and go to a happy place and it's scary. You've got to hold on to your life sometimes. You get dizzy. Your sweat collects by your feet and you can slip. It's something you have to respect because it will shit-can you in a moment.
The full interview is worth checking out if you feel like being confused.
Previously, Clown has said he hopes for a new Slipknot record to be out in early 2017 and could see a day when the band carries on with a completely new lineup.
