* HeyItsThatGuy: Corey has appeared on several other metal bands' tracks. You can hear his distinct voice on {{Soulfly}}'s "Jumpdafuckup", Biohazard's "Domination", {{Apocalyptica}}'s "I'm Not Jesus", Damageplan's "Fuck You", and on SteelPanther's "Death to All but Metal", "Asian Hooker", and "Eyes of a Panther".
** Meanwhile, Thomson can be heard delivering a guest lead on Malevolent Creation's "Deliver My Enemy". This was primarily as a favor to [[Music/{{Suffocation}} Dave Culross]], who was in Malevolent Creation at the time and is known for being very good friends with Thomson.

* TheMerch: In perhaps one of the more ill-thought moves of their career, the band launched their own clothing line in 2008, titled ''Tattered and Torn'' after the song ([[UnfortunateNames a rather unfortunate name to be sure]]). Taking many cues from the ''Affliction'' brand, T&T doesn't explicitly specialize in ''Slipknot'' merch, but [[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=101703 many designs]]. These are sold at [=HotTopic=].

* OneOfUs: ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'' served as the basis for the lyrics of ''Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.'''' Sid Wilson is a ''huge'' fan of the Transformers(his DJ name is actually DJ Starscream), and has several Transformers tattoos(including the Autobot and Decepticon insignias on the backs of his hands). Thomson loves video games, and Taylor is a ''huge'' ''Series/DoctorWho'' fan, and was then hired to voice the screams of the Series 9 monster The Fisher King, which included getting to go to Cardiff and tour the set during filming.

* CreatorBacklash: In the band's Google Autobiography, most of the members admit that they consider ''All Hope Is Gone'' to be their worst album, citing issues with their producer at the time, feeling that that were "playing it safe" with the sound, problems with getting all nine members together to record, and even Crahan saying he felt the [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking name of the album was pretty bad]].

Taylor also isn't fond of ''Vol. 3'' for similar reasons; the recording process was unpleasant due to inter-band tensions and Rick Rubin being completely fucking useless, his attempts to expand his vocal range led to lots of results that he felt should have gone back to the drawing board, and his drinking problem at the time led to lots of bad (as far as he was concerned) vocal takes making onto the final product.

Moving Black Sheep Hit from Music to Trivia

Added DiffLines:

* BlackSheepHit: "Snuff" from All Hope Is Gone is a slow, mournful ballad that sounds very different from Slipknot's usual stuff. It went on to become Slipknot's most successful single ever, reaching number 2 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

Moving Author Existence Failure from Music to Trivia

Added DiffLines:

* AuthorExistenceFailure: In 2010, Paul Gray, #2 and bassist, died. He was one the creative brains behind the band, and in the wake of his death, the members of Slipknot questioned whether there would ever be a new album. Fortunately (for their fans, that is), in 2014, six years after their last album, Slipknot released .5: The Gray Chapter. Several songs on this album are about Paul Gray.
