It Slipknot: vs Mushroom head start a feud has completely declined in recent yearsbut as late as 1999 it was still going strong. For evidence, look no further than what has recently emerged Slipknot: the show has been filmed in Cleveland since 1999.
Mushroom head fans in the crowd began to gasp Slipknot: and throwing objects at them before the vocalist Corey Taylor finally enough was enough. Right before Slipknot: played “(sic)” Taylor shouted. “Take a step, pussy, step up, stain!” before the drums M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan dove into the crowd to fight some of the fans.
A clown pulled over by security and Taylor once again turned to the deceivers. “I knew you guys were gonna show up, man, do you guys want to see a fight or do you want to see a show, man?” said Taylor“All petty nonsense aside, are you ready to have a good time tonight? Because over my stained corpse I’ll let someone ruin this sleazy night for anyone here.”
Despite the confrontation and Taylorwords, the enmity between Mushroom head fans and Slipknot: doesn’t let up much throughout the show.
Taylor explained the enmity A 2012 Question and answer with fanssaying his problem had always been there Mushroom head the fans and not the band themselves.
“My problem was never with that band, my problem was with their fans at the time,” he said Taylor. “The first time we played Cleveland, their fans came down, mind you, we weren’t talking shit, their fans came down and threw everything but rocks at us. They hit. Paul: [Gray, bassist] with a lock the size of my fist on my face; this is when we’re on stage.”
And yes, there was an argument after the show. “When we finished playing, we took off all our stuff and went into the audience. There were many of them, but there were nine of us. Head of the carand all our friends in the band called Amen – and let’s just say we nailed it right there.”
