Slipknot: (sic)ness

If you are fan, you already know what to expect once Slipknot hits the stage, and this well-shot concert film is filled with great footage of the madness and mayhem that the band creates in its live show. The uninitiated, however, may be lost. The songs will sound the same, the lyrics will be unintelligible and the twisted masks worn by the musicians will be downright disturbing. For them, it may be a good idea to start with the extras first. Watch a couple of the music videos and learn how diverse and lyrical the band can be when the amps aren’t cranked up to 11. Watch the making of film from director Shawn Crahan. The go back to the main menu and watch the show. Watch it all the way through without skipping songs. In the end, slipknot still may not be the band for you, but you will never forget watching them.
