    After the release of Slipknot's self titled album, it was replaced with a new version that removed two of its tracks: Purity and Frail Limbs Nursery. This was due to an issue with a crime website. Here is a look at what happened.

    Hey! At 2:23, I drew that! My drawings are a little better now, haha! Fun fact: In 2000-2001, Roadrunner UK asked me to draw a few Slipknot drawings for digital wallpaper on their site. I drew that piece and a couple others in exchange for a box of CD's and maybe $50. It was my first "paying gig" and I felt like I was on top of the world. Great video!

    That drawing of Slipknot crucifying Fred Durst was the cover of my binder in middle school. Teachers were not too fond of it and kept confiscating it. But i had lots of copies and each day I'd come back with a new one and eventually they gave up.

      so these memories came rushing back because of your comment. I also had a binder in middle school that was dedicated to photos taken from kerrang, revolver and the like. The one with kud (mudvayne) with a bullet hole in his forehead got me fucked with by teachers a lot so I swapped it for a cool pic of joey (slipknot) in his iowa era mask and dark green jumpsuit.

      Also all the people saying the name was so fake and clearly a giveaway. I knew a girl named "Tonight" and always thought that was so weird.
      There are way weirder names out there, and as another comment pointed out, people were and have named their kids Harmony and shit like that and it wasn't or isn't that unusual or exceptionally uncommon.

      If you liked MFKR, Anders' band after Slipknot, Painface is worth checking out.

    Love your use of early NES and SNES music like Deja Vu and Cyberpunk. Keep up the great stuff!

    You should do a video about the album "Neidermeyer's Mind" by Korn. Where it is and what happened to it...

    So, weirdly enough I heard about this a number of years ago from one of the website's actors. He was a teacher of mine and played Ed Pierce. Funnier than that he had only an inkling of how involved Slipknot had become.
