Shawn is like the 70 year old guy in my apartment building who ends up telling me a story about how he ended up in a random island on his boat at the age of 20 when I ask him "how is your day"
Underrated comment 😂😂😂
Lmao
And you invite him in for a seat and some cold ones as he tells it, hell yeah lol.
I love how graham is just like “…okay …alright” as he’s going on for minutes
This is exactly the way I took it, but just couldn't describe, well done. 🤣
Get Craig Jones on here and have him write on a white board.
Good idea
Nicholas Mars get him to talk
Appropriate amount of likes on this
Nicholas Mars thats the best thing ive seen 😂😂😂
Nicholas Mars yes lol
Shawn looks and sounds really happy, which is really great to see!
Lol hello 0-1-0-1-000-1-00-111-000-1 king 😂
BossProductions Bahahaha! Greetings ;)
Sovereign King He looks like Santa from hell, gosh I love him! ;))
+Sovereign King He said in the audiobiography that this was a good place to be.
Yeah he's definitely very different than he used to be. Sitting next to the flowers was probably his idea, old clown would've never done that.
This is Clown. Very legit.
I've met him before, just a little fan. And this is how he talked to me.
Yes... This is how he treats his fans.
People will always say he's arrogant, but the truth is, he's more legitimate than 99% of other band people I've met.
Clown and I talked about the Maggot Bible for about 20 minutes. And he wasn't trying to leave or get me to go away, he was actually excited to tell me about it, even thanking me.
I love Clown
people say about everyone that's in slipknot t, "that's their arrogant" and its always bs that they are
not only very talented musician, very smart, down to earth, when i met him it was only for a quick few mins, but you can tell how deeply he cares about what he does, and his fans
@JezBollah 667 I'm really interested where your facts come from ?
@JezBollah 667 Damn, if your mate decides to dwell into it, I'd like to hear it. I'm not a Slipknot fanatic, I just like backrounds! Thanks for answering.
Cowol Jar Woff I had a similar experience, we spoke for 20 minutes, about his parents, his side projects as To My Surprise was one of my favourite bands, a visit he had once in London.. it was pretty awesome and he was pleasant to talk to.
Xfiles in the background
That's motionless in white
Oshabloger No... its x files
+jonah naymik They played that before they went on stage
+ThatShittyGamer its x files
+ThatShittyGamer its x files
I would like to see this show with Sid from Slipknot
fozeman666 That would be a lot of fun. xD
Brossel i met sid randomly walking venice beach. SUCH A FUCKING KOOL DUDE!!!! he took a time out for 5 minutes to bullshit and take a pic with me. the 9 is that type of people. rockstars but humble. the way it should be
Oscar Flores Great story, sounds a lot of fun, happy for you!
Y u need to banish angels?
Spod gu wæpt
Clown is a great storyteller
yep
Almost on Phil Anselmo level lol
+VikingWarrior HU I think I should listen to Phil Anselmo talking.
Nintendonix It's relaxing lol
:3
How fucking cool is Clown!? He completely embodies the word passion. I've never seen anyone put more effort into this Fact or Fiction thing.
What u saying
What’s the fact
Imagine a audiobook by Shawn, just imagine what that would be like.
the first chapter would be 3 hours long
A gps voice
@@spasl4909 fax
I would love to hang out with Slipknot because they seem like the most chill guys.
Yeah they seem cool guys - I think when they were younger they were extreme and insane, but they seem to have calmed down a bit, and become cooler people
They're really cool and sweet guys, always have been. I met Corey around when Bother was released, during his alcohol daze and was still so nice and cool with all his fans. They've never been extreme and insane even in their early days.
@@zachscottmusician weren't we all a bit crazy when we were younger? It
@@zachscottmusician They were still just as nice and humble when they were younger though, they just had their stage personas and a load of personal shit going on
Until Craig doesn't say anything and drags you into a basement where Mick is there with a chainsaw
these metal guys are always so nice and down to earth off stage
Joey K because majority of them would give you the shirt off their back. you can't say the same about the other genres. we are a huge family.
Joey K BMTH is by far the worst band when it comes to being nice as people. But yeah I noticed that to, mega death, slayer, slipknot, all their members seem to be pretty nice.
K M yeah BMTH are pretty bad at being nice
Megadeth man damn
No he isn't.............................................
*A Standard Interview With Shawn*
Interviewer: asks simple question
Shawn: delivers half hour, nonsensical philosophy lecture
+Zeke Iddon not as bad as phil anselmo
Haha that's true enough! Though Phil's head is fucked up from substance abuse... what's the Clown's excuse?
+Zeke Iddon He's just like that, maybe because of how his life has been.
+Zeke Iddon that was such a mediocre comment, the whole point of this interview, is to know the real fucking story, he is asked about it, he can talk as much as he fucking wants!
juniorsutereo Sure thing. And I can comment on the interview as much as I want.
x files theme? The clown is illuminati confirmed
LMAO
Yooo!
You heard it too!
heard that too? where is that coming from?😂😂
Xander Kohnert Probably something about the event they were at
Oh, on.
Most interesting member of Slipknot that actually talks.
Rip craig
BossProductions Craig isn't dead, it was Paul that died.
+Decanter Paul
I don’t think he was referring to Craig being dead, just that he doesn’t talk
Um Corey?
He seems like such a nice person. "No, there's no notches, we're just here to educate." He sounds like he would be somebody's favorite school teacher lol
Paul's passing really changed these guys ..... you can just sense their love and passion for each other and music ..... it was always there before. However now it's just different ..... like they have a unity that can't be shaken, and how they not only want to continue making kick ass music in honor of Paul, but that they want to be the best men they can be while doing it. I find the song, and music video for The Devil in I to be VERY telling, and EXTREMELY symbolic in more then one way. I won't go into the detail's of those symbols because most people would think I sound crazy, but I know in my heart what their saying.
I think I understand what you're saying. I think that the video hit me deep as well. I saw the band members killing themselves as a start to a new era for themselves. That's why I saw them (except Sid and Jim) wearing their old masks when they died. It's like them saying that when Paul died, the old Slipknot died as well. Then the two new members where not shown playing in the video, just riding in those scooter things wearing straight jackets. Then they were shown playing after the other members of Slipknot brutally stabbed them to death. I thought of it as an initiation process, or something that's saying "This is how you're going to start out, and you're going to have to progress." That's what I though of the video.
+Eric Rodriguez thought*
MaidenOfDarkness well this didn't age well
@@matadeverdoemden Pay attention to Jim's head after the explosion. It has his old mask.
@@kevinstevetenempaguay2874 I’m a newer fan I would like to respectfully ask how cuz I’m lost
It's amazing how well spoken and intelligent Shawn is in comparison to Clown. It's like they're two completely different people, it's really quite fascinating.
It is very cool to see
Please do Jim Root!
YES
YES YES YES
Do Mick. I wanna hear his raspy demon voice
"Ya know" - James Root, since the dawn of time
Anthony Pena ya know
Now we need Chris, Mick Jim, Craig, and Sid to do this
Craig....? I don't think that will happen
The interview would consist of a lot of noises, with little to no words
Chris: could be
Jim: seems possible
Mick: alot of masturbation jokes, but with a bit of substance
Craig: ...
Sid: *inaudible noises*
Craig would just sit and nod laughing his ass off behind his mask lol
+Martijn Kemperman spot on
6:30 ''Randy Blythe just skateboarding by now'' is probably the greatest sentence of the last 5 years.
not really
Who’s that
@@ClassicShotMK3 dude from lamb of god
Randy Blythe skateboarding by 😂
When 😂
Sqating Squrl 6:29
K Boyd that´s really cool XD
yeah xd
+K Boyd "got the coffeezzz,time to......"
Clown - "I brought Cow heads"
Graham - "Beautiful"
Met Shawn on Slipknot's first mega tour in Toronto. I think they were *opening* for Coal Chamber. No one in "the warehouse" that night had ever seen anything like that. I don't even remember Coal Chamber's performance. And here's Shawn hanging out with his green John Deer cap on, chatting with a few fans. This dude looked like he was supposed to getting drunk on his tractor when he'd literally just changed my life and the way I viewed live music.
It was that day I truly learned to never judge a book by it's cover.
Saw that same tour. They fucking killed it. Joey was hanging out after and was extremely chill. The lineup that night was killer too amen, slipknot, machine head, coal chamber. Slipknot stole the show for sure and the club stage was tiny and the place was packed.
Motionless in white in the backround 😁 love them
joe Norks Yes!!! I just noticed when I heard Devil's Night
+joe Norks currently listening to santa's pissed oops
YES I WAS LIKE WOAH *MOSHING IN BEDROOM*
+selloutrecords Same XD
Yeah, I missed a lot of what Shawn said, because Chris was killing it on the vocals in the background 🤘
I have the utmost respect for every member of this band purely based on the way they think. It might sound cheesy or stupid to most people, but guys like Corey and Shawn are very wise people and I would love to have the opportunity to just talk to them.
I hope you all know, Shawn IS Slipknot, he is the main one that started it, he brought Joey and Paul in to help him. Every detail visually of the band is him, the attitude, him, the videos, him, all of it. Some people don't realize how big of a contributor he is to the band. They think he is just some useless or replaceable guy who plays percussion up front, not true at all. He is the leader of the band and what makes it work.
Pretty sure most die hard maggots know that
@@totterdell I would hope so, but I see too many people that don’t
Yeah. Corey may be the voice and kinda the face. But Shawn is basically what Slipknot is.
The inception if the knot is down to Shawn. When corey came on board he elevated them. Without either if them slipknot wouldn't be slipknot.
alot of ppl think that corey is the leader lmao
Shawns reputation precedes him. The interviewer is really nervous. I would be too.
I own a kick drum pedal that Clown used in studio until it broke :-) ...Thanks Shawn
Nice
How did you get it?
+Lastrevio He was selling stuff off of his website. He had symbols and drum heads and all kinds of stuff...
Mike Workman lol
when
+Lastrevio a few years back. when his book and The Black Dots of Death came out.
The fucking X Files music when he says "Some people call you Kong" still kills me
even though shawn pronounced his name clearly three or four times, the interviewer still called him crayon
he reminds me always of like, your dads friend when you were a kid thats scary but told these wild stories that never seem to end
I like this interfiewer a lot!
He never tries to be interesting and he seems like a relaxed nice dude who just wants to chill with the artists and ask them some things.
To me he is perfect for this job
I like how Shawn talks about Slipknot in third person even though he's Clown a member.
Bigots: metal is satanic and only delinquent indulge in it
Slipknot on stage: well yes
Slipknot irl: but actually no
Ok so i like metal dont get me wrong, but you cant just call someone a bigot just bc they dont like metal 🤣
@@timmlovitt6260 well i mean is some one says everyone who does this is satanic as if its a bad thing and there a bad person for liking it that does sound kinda like something a bigot would say
@@someguyinjeans5273 i have never heard someone say that so.if you provide me a link to someone calling all metalheads demonic then i will politely back down

Theres 3 videos of multiple times it happens
I stg most people throw around the word "Bigot" without even knowing what it means half the time.
"were just here to educate" I love Shawn as he always makes those around him feel accepted, not like idiots, or embarrassed. I'm glad to have met him on the antennas to hell tour :) oh it's cool to hear motionless in white in the background and Randy Blythe lol
Shawn seems like such a great guy with simple morals and so chill
Whats with the X Files theme song in the background?
+West It´s in Motionless in White´s intro, they are the ones playing in the background xD
***** they often start their sets with BTC and they "stole" the illuminati to have before they go on stage. tbh it´s kinda cool lol
Motionless in white haha.
I love how motionless in white is playing in the background lol
I remember meeting Shawn at the All Out Life video shoot. He's such a down-to-earth dude, I loved all the little moments of conversation I had with him. I'm happy to see him happy.
I love Shawn
B3NG.
Cryst 666 Set phahaha
Me too😈❤
now try to love clown
Motionless in the background while Shawn's being interviewed it just sounds nice. Love it!
This is the most sense Shawn has ever made in any video or interview ever.
love the motionless in white in the background lol, legit the last thing i would expect
clown be looking like the uncle at your dads BBQ that gets really drunk and will tell you how much of a good boy you're gonna be for like 3 hours
they should do serj tankian from system of a down
Haven't been dissapointed with any of the Slipknot interviews through Loudwire. They seem like genuine guys and intellects even, awesome work on everybody's part. Thank you.
i haven't been a true slipknot fan since Iowa...but i can never get enough of Clown or his interviews
They could sit 20cm on the right (left for them) and Grugamed would not have those leaves hugging him...
That's the only way he gets affection from something living
@@Kisetai ooooooooooooooof
I used to hate the Clown! But right here right now, i just want to be friends with those guys! All interviews i've seen with those guys i now see they are really grown and matured! Especially Corey and Shawn!
Andreas Indelicato y did u hate clown?
Me too! Back when I was a pre-teen, the impression I had of Clown was that he was like that fat guy in class who makes sure to troll and annoy everyone else lol. Once, my best friend at the time and I were looking at Slipknot onstage pictures and there was one of Clown where he (my friend) said, "this fatass thinks he's the greatest" lol. I guess his general aggressive and provoking attitude contributed to that, especially during the Self Titled era. I'm glad I grew out of that superficial impression, of course. Nowadays my only real complaint about him is that he's always full of big words when promoting new stuff (Slipknot's new albums, side ideas such as the "Maggot Bible", the "Tattered and Torn" clothing brand, "LIving Breathing Films" etc), and the real thing is almost never really all that. This aside, he's a genius and has created an experience that will be forever engraved in my memory.
@@codsby803 he always seemed so aggressive and over the top.. 🤷🏻
@@dypetrod4766 🤝🏻
Incredible interview
I just went to my first slipknot concert. Best concert ive been to.
JIM ROOT NEXT! +Loudwire
At about 0:37 I swear I heard the X-Files theme...
+Aarcaala It's X-files, wherever this was filmed Motionless in White was playing there, they played it before they came out.
Cool
Yep lol illuminati confirmed
I knew it was miw! thanks for clearing that up
no need to swear, because I can confirm that you hearf it
Man I can listen to Shawn all day..
I still remember to meet him and Paul Gray before a concert I worked on and those were some of the most chill guys I have ever met
*Rest in peace Paul Gray and Clowns daughter*
Joey too
SLIPKNOT IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE MY FAMILY... love you guys keep rockin hard and stay sic!
Baller Robinson yo is your name really Baller? If yes that's rad! MAGGOTS UNITED
yes my name is Baller...
Really grateful to have seen Slipknot live the presence of that band is unbelievable ...really blessed experience. 🤘
This was really really cool, I never seen Shawn open up like this... Great video, thanks!!
Shaun once came into the barbershop that I work at and got his head shaved. I use a straight razor and taking a razor to his head was terrifying. So many dents from, I'm assuming, slipknots shows. I remember that service, that usually takes around a half hour, took over an hour just due to having to be so careful. True story.
Lol yeah okieeee
You’re telling a lie.
@@Hellbound1234 fuck up idiot. even if he was you'd still be in the fuck up lane. how do you know this or are you just pointing the finger? Are you full of shit Tyler?
Aussie B wow, you’re equal parts angry and dumb. Take a lap and cool off, baby boy.
@@Hellbound1234 WhY? you just called out somebody for being a bullshit artist with out knowing the full story. You're still driving in the fuck up lane if you ask me. how do you know of this lie you talk of?
I give you all the love in the world Shawn, I can't imagine any of it! Although I am a stranger to you, Me and millions of other Metal Heads Give our sincerest condolences to you... We love ya my man.
Perfectly said, Shawn! Great interview!
Seems like a really chill guy. I love shawn
Ahaha Motionless In White playing a set in the background is brilliant
Did Shawn just smile?? Lol
Nothing but respect for this guy, just recently met him and chill dude. Normal human going through hard shit… slipknot gave me good memories of my loved ones stay up homie
I love this series; it's always entertaining to hear a out the true stories.
Is anyone else's mind blown by the fact that Shawn is just kind of a normal middle aged guy who loves his mom. I don't know what I expected I guess, but it's just kind of funny to me that is everyday life is so different from his stage persona.
motionless in fucking white playing in the background! fuck yesss
psycho patty fbombs to days
The acoustic environment of this interview is hecking immaculate.. well thought out clearly
I had the great pleasure of a phone call by Shawn one evening 4/5 years ago. It was great to finally speak to the one of Slipknot founders, a band I had been following since 99/00.
I picture the day they picked their numbers's meeting as that scene from Reservoir Dogs when they pick their colors and Sid probably complaining for getting the Zero.
Spooky Ghost The Zero was atcually Sid's idea...Corey said once that they don't wanted to have a number 9...and Sid said that since he's "nothing" he was gonna be the #0
@@vinnysouza2016 Exactly, he is the Filth Epitome..... number 0
Loudwire Do Chino Moreno from Deftones!
Id love to just sit down and have a conversation about pain anxiety suffering and life with Shawn he seems like such an insightful guy
Love you, Shawn! May peace and love be with you, always. Slipknot fan for life 💚
Ah ok I thought the x files theme was playing because Shawn was explaining his surname but it was really playing over the PA in the background
haha nice Polaris shirt. Pete and Pete fan I assume?
+SegaCDUniverse YES!!!!
+SegaCDUniverse I ride Polaris
+SegaCDUniverse
or Tesseract? Eh? Eh? Ok, time to receive lots of negative feedback for mentioning a band I like on the internet...
derek hey look, I was right
thought the same thing
Dude I love this guy
I can't wait for his book.
Shawn is an interesting character.He seems happy and upbeat in this but the mask goes on and its as though his repressed feelings/thoughts come out and he goes bat shit crazy especially in the old days,like his form of release.His outlook on life is quite different to everyone from Slipknot too.If he was to write a book id definitely buy it
Motionless in the background lol
Haha yeah
One of the best I've seen of his interviews was an awesome watch as a longtime Knot fan
seeing Slipknot live, was the BEST concert ever!! next up was RUSH!!
He's the guy at the pub who just won't stop talking to you.
What.....? No, he's the guy at the pub at a table by himself just reading a book, and you see him there for like two hours and you think he's weird or he doesn't like to talk or he has social anxiety or w/e, so you go say hey to him, and THEN he talks to you for an hour about cycles of death and birth and how that pertains to art
He's DEF not the loud drunk twat who just accosts you and forces himself into your conversation
Couldn't help to hear Motionless In White was playing in the background. Haha I tend to get easily distracted by background noises.
Legendary. The favorite slipsnot
Going Sunday to see them.
Sounds like Motionless In White in the background?
Pinchii Marz yes it is
Pinchii Marz Break The Cycle !
+Pinchii Marz It is. I love MIW
Pinchii Marz YEP!!
That's awesome that Motionless In White was playing in the background.
I really respect Shawn Crahan. He is an insanely intelligent and artistic guy and seems so down to earth. I could definitely listen to him tell stories all day. Great episode.
I've met some of these dudes and they are some of the most humble and down to earth rockstars in the business right now. No arrogance and always thankful to their fans.
Crayola confirmed?? 🤔🤔🤔👽👽👽 STAY WOKE
Clown smokes Parliments. The only cigarette with the recessed filter....you can do bumps with em
Love him so much🖤🤘
Just going through a playlist of fact or fiction. Never heard most of the member of slipknot talk really, this guys seems really cool. Keep being the best dude you can be my guy
Don't think it helps that you got Motionless in White going fuckin ham in the background
For those of you who don't know who Randy Blythe is (the guys who skated past them at around 6:34), he is the vocalist for Lamb Of God.
1:57 Well now we can call him Harambe Crahan.
Dicks out for Clown. ill stop
Cocks out for Clown
No
Harambe Crayon*
the video got better when i realized MiW was playing a set in the background
ABSOLUTE LEGEND
