The Pulse of Radio reports: If you have missed
SLIPKNOT on this summer's Rockstar Energy Mayhem tour, don't worry — the band will return for its own trip through the U.S. starting in late January, according to HardDrive Radio. It's too early for details, but fans will probably hear a lot more of the band's new album, "All Hope Is Gone", on that trek. The group is only playing one new song on the current trip, but singer Corey Taylor told The Pulse of Radio he couldn't be happier with the response the band has received. "It's very appreciative," he said. "It's been two and a half years since we played, our first show was Seattle (on July 9) and people were just so cheesed to see us, you know what I mean? It was such a great feeling. And, you know, the feedback afterward is just so good, man. People are just celebrating you being there, and if you do well, then people are just really gonna have a good time watching you."
In addition to all-new masks and costumes, SLIPKNOT's current stage show features a lift that raises percussionist Shawn Crahan high above the stage as well as a drum platform for Joey Jordison that rotates sideways, upside down and around.
