Slipknot have earned a reputation for their visceral, ambitious and experimental live performances. The 16-legged chaos machine have continued to push the boundaries of live performance throughout their near 25-year career.
This is not to say that they’ve carved out such an intense, bone-crushing career without their fair-share of colossal fuck ups. Who could forget the time #3’s drums fell off and he reacted by throwing them into the crowd.
One dedicated fan had decided to spend their time documenting all the most fantastic Slipknot fails and has compiled them into one sweet video. Check it out below.

If anything, that video has made me want to see Slipknot a hundred times more. In case you missed the memo, the band will be heading to Australia later this year to celebrate the release of their forthcoming sixth record.
The band will be heading down under with metal overlords Metallica for a series of monolithic arena shows. Dubbed the WorldWired Australian tour — it’s destined to be an unmissable event. Tour dates and ticket information below.

This month has seen Slipknot embroiled in legal woes. Band member Chris Fehn, aka ‘#3’, left the band after discovering that his former bandmates were running other business entities and receiving money from the group’s activities. It has since been revealed that Fehn is suing the band for not receiving proper payment during his time in the outfit.
Fehn is lobbying for the bands finances to be audited, and payment for the “damages and profits” he claims he is owed. Read more about it now.
