“I keep telling Clown that I’m just gonna throw it up on Youtube”: Slipknot guitarist Jim Root often threatens to leak long-delayed album Look Outside Your Window

Slipknot guitarist Jim Root has joined the chorus of people impatient for the band to release Look Outside Your Window.

Percussionist Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan announced six years ago that, during the sessions for 2008’s All Hope Is Gone, several of the nu metal nine-piece’s members recorded another album on the side. In interviews since, he’s repeatedly offered up release windows that came and went without anything happening, causing some fatigue among fans.
