The video of the “chaotic” first concert of Corey Taylor with Slipknot comes to light

A few days ago it was the 25th anniversary of the first concert by Corey Taylor with slipknotand we would like to remember what was experienced in that concert, cataloged as chaotic. At that time, the one who would be the vocalist of the band, Taylor, was only 23 years old, and they resigned themselves to performing in clubs in Iowa until two years later, the band was able to play in the Ozfest ’99.

At that time the metal band, Des Moinesagitated his viewers so much when they went on stage that he began to gain so much popularity from the album, ‘Feed. Kill. Repeat’. To celebrate this event, a complete video of the first show that would be part of the first concert of both that would consolidate the formation of the band has been published. As a result of this, the band from Iowa would prepare their first record titled, slipknot in 1999.

But what actually happened at that concert? It was held at the Des Moines Safari Club on the night of August 24, 1997 at a benefit show. In the music video at around three and a half minutes Corey Taylor is seen officially introducing himself with Slipknot. Taylor’s outfit was quite curious and striking as he came out on stage with his hair covering his entire face and his eyes were fixed with black X’s. The singer was showing the influences of Slipknot since those gestures and the stage presence that he had at that time, which would make him one of the top metal frontman.

Slipknot is captained by Joey Jordison, Paul Gray, Shawn M. ‘Clown’ Crahan, Craig Jones Y Mike Thomson. Although we must not forget the former components who passed through there as Donnie Steele To the bass, Josh “Gnar” Brainard in charge of the guitar and Greg “Cuddles” Welts on percussion.

Also, it is necessary to point out the most peculiar things that happened in that show, such as the fact that there was a master of ceremonies that is worth it, we can say: “It is not that strange either”, he presented the show, gifts such as stuffed animals were distributed and even sparks flew throughout the scenery. There is no doubt that Slipknot guarantees you a real show in conditions.

The album released 23 years ago was released 10 months earlier with Anders Colsefni, who was the founder and lead singer of the group. Colsefni stepped back for Taylor to take his place at the microphone. Later, the 1972 artist founded another death metal band named pain face. It should be noted that the arrival of Taylor to the group was a fundamental pillar for the band to achieve a little more popularity.
