NASHVILLE |THE INCREDIBLE 3-D SLIPKNOT: SLIPKNOT–rock’s undisputed new kings of chaos–get the full 3-D treatment as the cover subjects of the forthcoming issue (June 2000) of Guitar World. Readers can view the nine masked members ofSLIPKNOT–whose Roadrunner self-titled debut is nearing platinum–with the 3-D glasses provided by the magazine. In the accompanying story, SLIPKNOT lend some insight into what fans can expect on their next album. “If anything,” says #7 (guitarist MICK), “the album is going to be even harder, even more technical than the last. The first time, we knew that we had to win fans, to prove that we had what it takes. For this (the next) album, it’s about staying around. It’s showing that we’re no fluke.” For his part, #8 (singer COREY) says: “I want everyone who hears this new album to say to themselves, ‘Jesus Christ, that really bothers me’. I want it to be so profound and so justified that people will shut their fucking mouths forever about the sophomore jinx–to us, that’s just another sacred cow to kick in the face.” SLIPKNOT are headlining venues across America now–and this summer, they’ll heat things up even further when they’ll be featured on the “Tattoo the Earth” traveling festival tour.
