Quote
»
"I've wanted to be a clown because there's something nice about
me, and something pretty twisted as well. If someone stares at me
on my way to the stage, I don't get up until they look away first."
I am on a world-domination mission. Slipknot isn't just an average
band. It's not just music. It's a way of life and it's the real
way of life. When I go on-stage, the rock'n'roll cliché can
go die. There's no place for that anymore. My whole deal is, when
we've reached everyone and everyone understands, I'm gone. I'm out.
I've done it." - Shawn Crahan (Clown masked Percussionist and
founding father (#6).

The
Crow
»
Shawn found a dead crow in his driveway, and kept it in a big, commercial
pickle jar, and carried it around at shows until it turned to mush.
During shows Shawn would open the jar, this would cause him to vomit
all over the place and also cause fans to start vomiting all over
the place. It was (sic), it was kept in the jar with all the bacteria
and flesh eating creatures. It started secreting this brown liquid
and became a fine sauce. Some kids broke the jar open and played
catch with it for a while and now it's disposed. At one radio interview
Shawn took it along and freaked out the radio person who was also
afraid of clowns.

Beaver
Tail "Rumour"
»
A cop gave Shawn
a dead beavers tail because the cop didn't know how to get rid of
it. Shawn didn't know what to do with it so on stage he and corey
squeezed all the juices out of it into their faces and then they
ate it. Afterwards they were throwing up like crazy and asking each
other why the fuck they did that.

Safari
Club
»
Shawn owned the "The Safari Club" within Des Moines for
a short time (he bought it in January 1997), one of the only places
to see new rock and punk acts. As Slipknot got huge though, it became
too much to manage and had to be shut down, it later re-opened as
Hairy Mary's.

«
Runaway
Club
»
Shawn was a regular attendee to the "Runway" club for
which he paid $7 to enter each time. It was where the people who
liked proper music gathered. However within this club Shawn was
still disgraced at the number of competing cover bands that would
out shine other; more original bands. Crahan did however manage
to allow "all aged" shows to take place within the club
on Sundays. For a while Shawn's discontent was settled with such
bands as Modifidious and Body Pit, however these bands all broke
up within a very short space of each other and the metal Scene had
once again disappeared. Shawn now had to put up with cover bands
once again. At this point Shawn knew he had to do something different
and one day the concept of Slipknot came to him.
