Slipknot
from Tonight's Musical Guest, Today Hosted by Tonight's Musical Guest, Today
They came from the heartland to destroy us all. More brutal death metal than nu, maggots from every corner of America rejoiced at their one-of-a-kind stage show, technical precision, and devil-fueled aggression. It's SLIPKNOT week! The guys explore the incredible backstory, lore, and turmoil of one of the most visually arresting bands the show has ever discussed. Slipknot make their UK television debut on TFI Friday, destroying cameras in the process. A 2001 Conan performance of "The Heretic Anthem" is potentially the peak of civilization. The show bends the rules in order to talk about Mistress Juliya from Uranium on Fuse TV, and it's badass. And later era clips on Kimmel show a band stretching their boundaries, for good and bad.
