Craziest Costumed Acts: No. 5

Whatever your nightmare -- killer clowns, maniacal mimes, Leatherface -- there's at least one member of Slipknot guaranteed to freak you out. Since 2005, the band has allowed the mass production of their signature, omnipresent masks, which means any 10-year-old can dress up as an authentic pinhead gimp whenever he wants. Trick or treat!

Slipknot is not music
Slipknot is a way of life

How in the hell is Mushroomhead not on here when Slipknot ripped them off? MRH has been around since 1993 damn it.

ok i listen to the majority of these bands and i dont like this list it is kinda rtarded like i think marilyn manson should be higher on the list than 20 and why are people who just wear masks so high on the list? it takes more effort to do something like marilyn than to put on a mask and why is lordi the people who wear full body suits still lower?

Slipknot did NOT rip off the mask idea from anybody. Anyway, I'm curious why they used such an old picture. They've changed maskes a few times since that photo. (And, before anybody tries to call me a 14 year old teenager, I'm older than Clown. (eek)

I shud probably read some of these before i post somthing. Anyway, i totally agree with connie Marilyn Manson shud b higher on the list. Even though i love slipknot im a much bigger Manson fan.

I will argue that slipknot is without a doubt one of the most inventive and talented metal bands since Ozzy.

i agree!!!! they are way better then most of the ppl on this list and WAY better then icp!
MaggotGeneralat 10-24-2007
i agree with rOcK, theyre so innovative thats its hard to single them down to a specific genre. i knew for a fact that they would have made this list

SlipKnot is a Mr. Bungle ripoff. Compared to Bungle, they are uninteresting and commercial. Talk about a rape scene, they knew the younger kids wouldn't remember Mike Patton or Bungle or Faith No More. Who's the dung beetle that made this list up?? No Bungle? but you guys listed at least 5 bands that also ripped them off, including ICP. Jeezus, do a little research.

Slipknot is goddamn nothing like Mr. Bungle their sound is completly different. I have all Mr Bungles albums as well as other Patton albums and nothing they do sounds even close to Slipknot. They didn't steal shit.
As for ICP they don't look a thing like them not even the same type of muisic. Also Slipknot is way more talented than ICP.
boirardcat 10-23-2008
They don't even wear costume in Mr. Bungle anymore haven't in years.
How do people come up with this shit.

Jess00at 10-29-2007
Slipknot Rules! You wouldn't how pissed I'd be if they wern't on here.
Rockers Rulesat 10-29-2007
I am so glad to see slipknot on this list but should have been #1! Alice cooper who? lmao
rcknsk8rat 10-29-2007
Actually ICP is much better.
Just different.
I just wanna know wear I could get one of those masks.
Fefeat 10-30-2007
HEllz Yeah SLIPKNOT I think they should be number one. to play the music they do while wearing hot ass maskes!! theyre gods!
levi traverat 10-31-2007
