Slipknot's Clown In A Reflective Mood

(TeamRock Radio) Slipknot's Clown is in reflective mood at Download and says he's happy with his life despite the troubles faced by the band in recent years. Bassist Paul Gray died in 2010 after losing his battle with drug addiction and his loss still plays on percussionist Shawn 'Clown' Crahan's mind.

But five years on, with the band headlining the main stage at Donington this past week, he's as focused as he's ever been. He tells TeamRock Radio: "I hate people more than ever, I hate this sh*t more than ever. I'm just getting to be a grumpy old man maybe. These days I'm just trying to be the best man I can be.

"I can always be a better father, a better husband, a better friend and a better bandmate. After all these years and this dedication, losing our brother Paul and other things that have happened that have been devastating and mind-blowing to what we do, I just try to look at my hands and realise that I have a good decision to make or a bad one and I try to make the best one.

"I'm just trying to be the best I can be for the band, for the fans and for myself. I would never go back and change anything, I'm happy with where I am. I've done a lot of self reflecting on what it means to be the Clown in a band called Slipknot - a father of four, husband of 23 years, my eldest is 24 now." Read more here.
