"YOU WON'T LET ME FUCKING STAY"

he band is known for its peculiar image. The members wear matching uniform jumpsuits, and custom-made masks inspired by facets of their respective personalities. In the past, their jumpsuits have featured large UPC barcodes printed on the back and sleeves, which are identical to the barcode on their first album, Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat.[citation needed] The members' masks are typically altered or presented in a new form with the advent of each new studio album.[citation needed] Their masks and jumpsuits are now more unique to each member and sometimes include ties.Initially, the group's members desired to preserve their secret identities, refusing to be photographed maskless, even to the point of conducting interviews or posing with fans while wearing their masks (or at least obscuring their faces in some other way) Aside from their real names, members of the band are also referred to by numbers 0 through 8. During an interview in 2000, when Corey Taylor was asked about the history behind the masks he responded with this:"During a practice before we recorded Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat, The Clown (Shawn Crahan) brought a mask with him and played wearing it and it just kind of branched out from here."[citation needed]Today most members of the band have now been openly photographed without their masks, largely as the result of their work outside of Slipknot:* Vocalist Corey Taylor and guitarist James Root appear unmasked when working with their band Stone Sour,[18] and Corey Taylor was unmasked in an appearance on the Killswitch Engage DVD. He has also appeared unmasked in the Des Moines Register.* Drummer Joey Jordison appears unmasked with his side-project the Murderdolls and Ministry.[19]* Percussionist Shawn Crahan appears unmasked with his band To My Surprise[20]* DJ Sid Wilson works unmasked when performing as DJ Starscream[21]* Guitarist Mick Thompson appeared unmasked in a Total Guitar magazine shoot.* Bassist Paul Gray's face was revealed in a police mugshot leaked through The Smoking Gun.[22]* Gray and Jordison have also appeared unmasked during various photo shoots and sessions with Roadrunner United.In the video for "Before I Forget" they performed without their masks; however, the band members' faces are shown only as brief glimpses (mainly close-up shots on their eyes and mouths), with the camera mostly focused on their hands and instruments.
