#NikNocturnal #Slipknot #Metal
Smash like to throw block and sub for more idk random metal things
Nik's face so locked in he's afraid if he says anything wrong Shawn will fire him from slipknot
Delightful
That's fucking gold 🤣
Haha got em!
Yo for real tho lmao damn I’ve been a fan of Slipknot since 02, I have the tribal S tattooed on my arm and to see them go out sad like this just breaks my heart
😂👏
Nik just sitting there like "👤"
While it seems like Clown had the first opportunity ever to talk about his passion for video games.
And i love it
And I love it (YEA!)
And I love it
And I love it
And I love it
Bro, shawn was waiting 30 years, to be asked anything about Videogames
He became famous just to be interviewed and talk about video games
Another Billy Corgan
Nik made a huge mistake asking “how much do you play Minecraft” lol
clown always derails interviews especially when it comes to talking about the knot.
I legit cringed
It’s because Slipknot has an official Minecraft server
I think it was the whole point of this interview
I understand getting into video games to that degree.... I DO get it. Sometimes you come across a game that's much more than just a game, but my man is going a step or two beyond fandom. He's passionate and that's great, but this is a bit spooky. Hehehehe
You thought this interview with Clown from Slipknot is about Slipknot? WRONG! Minecraft it is!
NO, it's about the CULTURE(tm)
its like the jasta show with tom barber again
clown always derails interviews especially when it comes to talking about the knot.
@@demongrunt7 to quote a comment from one of those interviews "if you ask chris what time it is he'll tell you the time, if you ask shawn he'll tell you how a clock works"
Not complaining
You get one question, choose wisely.
my question: Is Eloy Casagrande the new Drummer? please say yes
@@whoisjuliano obviously -
@@whoisjuliano No
This is gonna be a core memory for Nik...He will be on his death bed still smirking in bewilderment about that time he got to interview Clown, only to end up listening to him info dump about his minecraft server for an hour 😂
Thank you for saving me an hour and a half of my life. 20 mins in I’m like “ok enough of the video game talk” didn’t realize it was the entire video lol. I saw some people saying Nick‘s gotta ask him some hard hitting questions in this interview lmaoo be the voice of the people. What a waste
@@Phattypimp83 I knew I was doing the right thing when I unsubscribed from him after he made that shitty Taylor shit (I was already on thin ice with him beforehand after he kept sucking off modern bands, that shamelessly chase trends), cover a few months ago..
@@Phattypimp83Shawn may have kept blabbing about Minecraft and gaming on purpose, to avoid any questions about anything nik was gonna ask. Idk
😂 I highly doubt that. & If he's not gonna just take over drum duties himself it'll probably be his son so...
Nik: did you go poop today?
Shawn: well, back in the 90s we had what’s called a… etc
😂😂
Back in the late 90s-early 2000s we developed a brotherhood until master drummers started intimidating my keg drumming so I had to part ways with them
"It came out back within, like my soul" 😂
The most cringe quote I’ve ever heard from him was when he said “There’s blood in the air, there’s art to be made, within the “brotherhood".
0:32 a question that will go down in infamy
😂
I actually lol’d
The best part is that you can tell Shawn is so happy to have not been asked the same 1000 Slipknot questions. Even happier to freely nerd out over something he’s passionate about, and allowed to speak as much as he likes about it. He absolutely enjoyed this interview.
Yeah, I van vouch, the last thing this dude wants to talk about is Slipknot anything. I talked to him years and years ago at a random show and he never once talked about his own band, only all the younger bands he was trying to get exposure for.
That’s what I care about the most in an interview. There’s literally THOUSANDS of interviews with slipknot members about slipknot. And the members themselves are most likely beyond sick of talking about ‘work’ for several decades, basically every day of their lives.
I love seeing the artists I like get to just enjoy themselves and talk about what they themselves love. They’ve earned it
I love how Gitty shawn gets when he talks about video games. He's as gitty as you cousin with aspergers when you ask him about his hobbies. It's oddly wholesome.
Rumour has it he’s still talking about how much minecraft he plays
Hearing him say Minecraft or World of Warcraft all I hear is MineCrap and World of Warcrap.
Not a single music topic covered is hilarious 💀
is he a musician though? hehe
@@funkbeaverHow fucking dare you. Clown is the reason why I started playing garbage can.
Refreshing TBH
😆😂🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌👌
Lowkey terrible
Clown answers about 3 questions on a 2 hr interview 😂.
Typical Clown interview lol
🤣😂🤣💀
Is it really funny? Seems like a dick move
Well it is clown and if you know anything about him, then you should expect it. Anyone who interviews him should expect a rambling, nonsensical, word salad. So yeah, it's funny that anyone should expect anything else after 25 years
@@wallymcshifty it's funny that people actually expect to be respected? He's always been a douche and some of the rest of the band members from the original group. All the good guys left.
Nik was fired shortly after this interview
This interview is hard evidence that we’re on the strangest timeline post covid
We have to destroy CERN. Seems like Clown is an ex-pro-gamer on this timeline. I want back.
@@pukelius4128 what do it mean nothing will get bettr
Post-Plandemic
Reminds me a bit of when my uncle tries to earnestly recruit me into some pyramid scheme he's just discovered
What about it, can I ask?
@@percival5697no you cannot, it is forbidden 🤦🏿♀️
I'll take 2 starter sets
no@@percival5697
Fever dream of an interview lmao
Is it that bad? I'm reading quite some negative comments
@@thomasleerling I can’t really call it bad, it’s just not related to anything important or pressing regarding the band or what fans want to hear about. Mainly just minecraft
lmao actually
Poor Nick doesn't know whether to cry or rejoice from the excitement.We love you, Nick
Clown’s gotten old, time flies! On a positive note: the older he gets, the less scary he becomes 😂 great interview Nik, I enjoyed it a lot!
He was always old
I’ve never seen his face until now but it’s not at all what I expected.
You’ve gotten older as well, that’s life.. before you know it you’ll be 50 also.
I am 51 years old and when they say "life is short" or "life goes by quickly", I know that it is not so, in my case. Live life the way you want, do what you can do today, and don't leave anything for tomorrow because often tomorrow doesn't dawn...
I heard this quote a long time ago and kept it close, "Never regret growing old, for it is a privilege denied many."
Shawn always answers questions so philosophically, no matter how basic the question. Respect on him for what’s he’s accomplished
Not really. He has no musical ability whatsoever in a band of "9" that realistically only needs to be 4. I really like Sid though so we can keep him in. Clown is really good at marketing, business, and sounding like he's philosophical. He's creative with telling stories. The most surprising thing is it sounds like he actually knows a little bit about programming. Probably hung around with enough developers and coders to be able to mirror the language, just like he's hung around enough musicians to mirror the language of a band.
@@noperception5073bruh slipknot wouldn't be slipknot without all 9. they all are songwriters and the masks and them being 9 members and their overall appearance on stage is what makes them slipknot. sure, it could sound close removing some members. but they wouldn't bring the same music and perhaps the band would've never even been made. no need to be salty and for negativity, just appreciate the band :)
I hate people that say shit like this when they don’t know that all 9 of them write and play other instruments like clown can play the actual drums he chose to be the guy that hits kegs and floor drums.
@@noperception5073 The real question here is: How do you know? You live with him or something? These kids, man. Always trying to sound like they know everything.
@@noperception5073just because he only hits a keg from time to time live, doesn't mean he doesn't have more influence while songwriting.
As unorthodox as this interview was, this is some raw real shit that you never get to see. This is some of yalls favorite artist spilling his guts about a personal passion/hobby. A rare glimpse into the every day life of a member of one of the biggest act rock ever has seen. Can kinda tell this is something he has wanted to get off his chest for a while. Either Nik was in on this and this was a planned topic, or he was a good sport who probably threw up after this and cried 🤣 Either way im glad it went down. Give us more.
He fooled you. This is a business project. He will use this to get money from fans. It's exactly like a pyramid scheme. Listen closer.
Shawn is such a cool cat. 4 minutes in and we're already talking about HTML CSS Photoshop Premier Rocket Launchers, Quake, Deathmatch CTF ... man..... Guy is still such a kid at heart still and I love to see it.
Nik regrets asking that question 😂😂😂😂
Who wouldn't?? Lol
I feel like to Clown it's more refreshing to talk about something else other than Slipknot 😆 on that note though it's funny to hear him talking about games and minecraft servers but also cool that he is passionate about this
I'm sure most of the comments are gonna be "clowning" the interview (lol), but I thought this was wholesome AF. Everyone is like "he didn't talk about music, derr" well no he talked about his passion. That is all it is. Why bash that? The dude is in Slipknot and has been doing music for a while. Maybe he's tired of the same old interviews asking "who's the new drummer" "What's Corey up to" "What's Slipknots future" just enjoy something outside of music for once 🤷🏻♂️
This!!
Seeing the psycho maniac, flaming bat keg beating horror clown talk about his love for minecraft is exactly what I needed in my life.
Okay yeah but they have a history of making big moves like firing members w out explanation.. like I get being annoyed w the same slipknot questions but fans genuinely want to know what’s going on 💀 as they rightfully should
@@Gottalocktfin and Clown is one guy. He's not at liberty to speak for an entire 9 piece band.
@@ProjectGRIDLOKT ya true, but he’s a core member and most ppl see Corey and clown as the “leaders” of slipknot so I figure he can at least say somethinggg
It’s actually really nice to see that Shawn is into the Minecraft thing because of his kids. When I was young my dad and I had this thing where he would break my slipknot CDs and then I would go buy them again.
That sounds like the least fun game ever.
Nik you’re a f****** legend for getting him on the channel holy shit. You got one of my creative idols in a long interview thank you 🙏
Crahan looks like metal Anthony Hopkins
Trying to place the familiarity.
So wholesome to see someone being this passionate about a hobby.
That was genuinely one of the best interviews I've watched! Guys like Shawn have had the same interview millions of times over and to hear one that was just him sharing a passion project with us is freaking awesome!
This is good. Because it’s just like chilling and talking about whatever.
This is an insane, absolutely mind-boggling interview that could only be possible with Shawn Crahan, and at the same time no one could expect this interview from Shawn.
Legendary interview for posterity and the culture.
Wolfenstein 🤘
Shawn explaining quake, and the rocket launchers with the power jumping, and everything of the sort is so true to my own experience. I couldn't stop laughing.
Loved this. Well done Nik.
Big love and respect Nik this, Shawn with Joey on shoulders was awesome watching icp interview other day and all the stories back in day of how it started
Did you expect Clown to drop some world shaking Slipknot news in this interview? Apparently everyone in the comments did, and its even more apparent 99% of the people here haven't spent the last 20+ years with Clown and this band. Y'all got baited into a Minecraft vlog. Hahaha. I love it. Thank you Clown for always being you🤘🤘🤘🤘
The man knows his stuff. An OG for sure. Game creation was one of my first passions. There's something incredibly deep and somehow esoteric about the interactive nature of games as a shared art medium. Eventually as I got older I decided that being stuck behind a computer wasn't for me, turned into a massive hippie... eventually turned away from that, turned to metal, doom and now, in my 40's i've come back full circle... post doom hippie... and It's still an interest to this day. I think we're only just seeing what the medium is capable of.
You are the best man!!
love to see the man. Very good conversation .
This is a truly fantastic interview.
This interview was awesome!
Omg, I didn't know Clown was so into gaming......mystery gone XD I love alcohol too....
this is fucking awesome, i am glad you guys talked about stuff other then music for awhile
This was actually awesome! I was not expecting this lol
Loved this interview. Been gaming for a 36 years and so cool to hear about this evolution in the Knotverse.
This is the Clown interview I didn't know I needed. 90 minutes of personally relatable topics and, most unexpectedly, the first NFT concept that my brain doesn't immediately reduce down into a grift.
Your brain has been washed well. There is a cure tho. Listen to slipknot selftitled-Iowa days.
Dude that question was genius, it made the interview very nice I felt he got to talk about something he enjoys
crazy dude!🤘🖤❤️
This is amazing
Slipknots 1st album was the only time I ever waited in line for a midnite release. Was a 3hr round trip for a CD but f'n worth it. I will never forget thier show @ Pops in STL opening for coal chamber in '98. I've been to 154 metal/hardcore shows & that one will always be #1. My grandkids are gonna hear about it too. Much love Shawn 🤘💀🖕
I saw that tour in Killeen, TX. Got my lip split open by the gas mask guy in the pit.
@@chriswilkes33 makes for a cool story tho. 😁 I lost my voice for 4 days & was covered in bruises
To think there was a time when Coal Chamber were bigger than Slipknot.
@@Doomchild2XL Right?! It was crazy that they didn't headline but I think that had more to do with Roadrunner records. 80% of the venue left after Slipknot.....it was impossible for any band to top that.
First album 1996 MFKR
Very cool to see a side of Clown I've never experienced before. Been a fan since Ozzfest 99. Thank you Nik
I’ve always had huge respect for Clown, I could listen to him nerd out for a whole week and not be bored 😎
This is the greatest interview i’ve ever seen😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
so excited that Shawn is actually into game development. as a guy who loves metal and does game developer at the same time, this is awesome to know
I love this! I’m 52 yrs old and have been a game nerd since pong and super break out. I broke my intelevision by taking it apart to see how it worked! My kids & I are gamers, artists, musicians and all slipknot fans! Back in about 2012 my son was like 11-12 and my daughter was like 7 and they lived to play the sims and they had a ton of the expansions and one was the ability to create your own skins and I showed them how to use the digital camera and scanner and pretty soon after they had made slipknot as their neighbors and Frankenstein and his bride , Rob Zombie, my son recreated the cabin from evil dead and Ash! There was Batman and the joker and in so much detail and the creativity and amount of work that they put in was nuts. I am sad that I didn’t understand how to preserve it and make it permanent somehow.(if that’s even possible. But it sounds like this is exactly what He’s making on a newer better platform and it’s just great to see and I am kinda reinvigorated and inspired by the way he’s so excited and making something shareable and lasting! And family is at its core. Nerdy and awesome and very human and connected with and for the best things! What a trip the way art and culture, music, and family of all kinds whether your born in or your chosen family, it all connects and when your intentional and inclusive in how your create and share, it really takes on a life of its own eventually! This was great and thanks to you both for sharing it with us.
57 years old here. I have been a huge fan for years! And after watching this interview I'm an even bigger fan of Clown! Huge gamer from the start just like him! Gaming got me into IT back in 1993 and still doing it and gaming since. While listening to the greatest music ever! You are a legend Clown and would love to meet you one day.
This was pretty cool!! It gave him another dimension other than slipknot and weird art stuff..it was cool to hear him talk about some stuff he likes and enjoys other than the same questions ole questions over and over about slipknot
Dudes true passion is video games and it’s awesome.
This is dope hearing about his passion for gaming
The next Slipknot album : "Vol. 8: (The Minecraft Verses) "
Im so happy for Shawn
one of the most surreal videos i've seen in a while tbh
The whole NTF talk just made me realize JUST how old Clown is
That was so nice to see Shawn just yapping away about something that means a lot to him.
I bet he was happy that he wasn't being asked about the " new masks" or the " new album "
What a cool guy... he's the same age as me, and totally rocks the grey look!!
Love him!!
Holy shit! My man Crahan is so extremely wholesome as fuck and I just love his whole vibe! Reminds me of me so much, just lost in the mind and rants 😂😂❤
As much as this minecraft server actually sounds like it could be really cool, as someone who's run several servers, having an infinite survival world in multiplayer for a long time is just not sustainable. Think of stuff like 2b2t. It never resets, and it's the reason a lot of people play the server, but also the reason a lot of people don't play the server. It's really hard to see it lasting a long time.
The dome thing sounds cool though. I think that could be a massive success, especially if you get kits that you get more access to as you get more kills or whatever. I'm open to paid kits as long as you can't just buy your way to the best kits.
TLDR I think the survival won't last, and the dome could be super cool and unique.
Edit: Having music discs from different bands as well as slipknot and being able to build a catalogue could be really fun.
Also I would've liked to hear a bit about the band and a little more insight into the reason Jay departed/was fired. BUT This is a Clown interview not a Slipknot interview. This interview is happening BECAUSE of the minecraft server, nothing to do with the band. The reason Slipknot is in the title is to tell people who Shaun is, because not everyone knows who he is.
Wtf😂
@@WuerthAkku1337 ?
The most words spoken without saying anything at all
I love how this was just about Clown's interests
I still use track IOWA for meditation and working.... even for relaxing before going to bed... thanks Shawn... thank you Slipknot for so much help trough the years
This interview blew my mind to the point of being surreal! hahahaha
The legend himself🤘
a minecraft slipknot concert would be an event i absolutely couldn't miss
Dude this is nuts. I know that this is just 2 humans shooting the shit, but this is also Clown from Slipknot..
Such a F****ng icon in your field.
How was this for you?? I can only imagine, this would have been surreal to say the least.
Keep it up man, you're doing sick things.
Interview after interview with these absolute legends.
this feels like a fever dream
I just got the Clown mask in Dead by Daylight for the collab they did. Love that he's a gamer too.
Mad respect for his love and knowledge of video game and video game development
Mindçraft
Nik you did it best interview please do more with clown if you can
Excited to hear Nik talking about all the weird shit he saw in "The Dome" and what he built
Man, I love people like this. I wish I met more like them. Like someone I can ask one question to and they can talk for hours and go back and forth with.
🤣
He’s a goober. He’s talking about all he knows. Music, real musicianship, is not his forte.
He’s a fraud. Trust this. He makes Gene Simmons look humble. He makes Gene look like Mozart

Best interview ever.
First time i see a music interview changed to game interview in 20sec and i'm not even mad about it HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH amazing podcast for real hjahahahahh cheers from brazil!
Hearing him talk is INSANEEEE CUZ I KNOW THAT VOICE AHHH
Heavy metal, gaming, and living life great episode!
I've never played. I love listening to passionate people about things I don't know. After a few hours of listening to this I am thinking I need to check out this Mind Craft thing.
The funniest thing is skipping randomly around this interview and waiting for a minecraft-related sentence, half of which involving "throwing block"
❤ Love it. Guy is a true performance artist.
This is actually wholesome and hilarious at the same time. Dude is way more passionate for minecraft than we thought. He even has his favorite block just right off the top of his head lol. Its cool to see that us normal people arent too different the celebrities of this world.
Nice to see the bad guy, Paul Serone, from the Anaconda movie doing so well!
I understand his passion about the games in the early 90's I wasn't alive back then but I played those games and they have this certain charm that just isn't present in the games these days.
Man, I this is insane, literally😂 The best interview ever, no jokes, I imagine how much clown is sick of interviews with the same questions for 25 years, he finally got someone to ask him about his passions
Everyone: ask him about Jay
Nik: Minecraft
Everyone: 🫠🥴
You can’t hide the adoration in your face Nick. But we get it, we really do. 🤩
Nick is taking the Shannon Sharpe approach to interviewing, just let the guest speak ! lol
never expected to be excited about a room tour of Clowns Minecraft server but here we go ♥
lmao loved hearing him talk about video games. He should make one, if anyone's got the money for a passion project game it's that guy!
I love that the most replayed is trying to see what Clown's family was doing in the background lol
I've never played Minecraft and I'm so lost but nonetheless I found this chat quite interesting. I still remember seeing Slipknot for the first time in 2000. Good times.
