Slipknot Clown Says Mask Has Been Trying To Kill Him


. (TeamRock Radio) Slipknot percussionist Shawn 'Clown' Crahan admits he's never been happy wearing his mask on stage. And he's explained why the band have never recorded a cover version, or invited guests to appear on their albums.

Asked if he ever gets irritated by his headgear, Clown says in a Live Nation Q&A: "Every night for the last 20 years. It has always been trying to kill me." He prefers the one worn by bandmate Chris Fehn, explaining: "I made it with my wife."

Slipknot haven't yet put their latest masks on sale, but he says that will happen after a gallery exhibition once their current tour is complete. On the subject of covers, Clown says: "We've kicked the idea around - but always pride ourselves on original music."
