@theknotcult: 1999. Before the sold-out arenas. Before decades of history. Before the legacy was written. Here are some rare photos from one of the most important years in Slipknot’s history. The masks were new, the energy was unmatched, and the world had no idea what was coming. This is exactly what TheKnotCult is about—preserving the history, sharing rare moments, uncovering forgotten footage, and celebrating the legacy of Slipknot and The Nine. If you’ve never seen these before, let me know which photo is your favorite. More rare photos, interviews, live footage, and deep cuts are on the way. #slipknot #metal #rare #blowthisup #xyzbca

good bye sid wilson

obscure words :

uh. these aren't rare photos. they were from metal magazines (physical media) like Metal Blade and Hit Parader. i used to have lots of these cut out and hanging on my walls. I saw Slipknot live in 1999 when I was 17(it was a All Ages show). it was on a school night and everything. I didn't get home til 1am. my ears were ringing for a weeks. I saw them open for Coal Chamber in a venue that was only rated to hold 600 people. there was easily 1000 people there. I was so close to the stage I could smell their BO( body odor ) when they hit the stage.

you know what's the worst? that this was a peak era. when the original group of 0-9 was still in one band...and now it's nearly gone

Alex Borlase :

I love Slipknot, been watching and listening to them from the beginning

That one guy :

These guys got me through a very tough time in my life, giving me a vent for all the negative emotions. RIP Paul, Joey. Without Sid, Chris and Craig is it really Slipknot??
