Slipknot are known for wild shows. I heard that at one of your earlier gigs at Wolverhampton Civic you launched yourself from a balcony into the crowd. Someone was injured and you kindly visited them the next day in hospital to cheer them up. Is that true? And how do you feel about your early onstage antics now? citizenidiot
It’s a gag that Sid [Wilson, Slipknot’s turntablist] used to do. This is one of the reasons why he has a hard time walking now. He’d climb to the top of whatever the highest point was and just go! He’d look like a flying squirrel because his coveralls were so big. He landed on a girl and hurt her neck, and went to the hospital himself to make sure she was OK. Luckily, she was all right.
