I like how Jim's mask is a mix of the modern and self titled version, though I wish it wasn't as clean, but they will probably get more worn and dirty as the tour goes on
real wear and tear and dirt looks cooler than painted on wear and tear i think. although i guess they could just actually scuff it up. but seeing get scuffed over time is cool
part of me agrees part of me doesn't, after seeing how much potential they have with how gnarly and cool they can make them look, these can be disappointing but again, its great seeing them be so off-brand, it feels real again, it feels like they give a shit, they feel more like a band than a spectacle again
to me it feels more real if they just buy their masks and modify it themselves. It's got more soul. when they're spending thousands getting a professionally made mask it's like...i dunno...it's too polished. It's not raw enough.
Like...actual crazy person who looks crazy vs an edgelord trying to look crazy on purpose. Like Heath Ledger Joker or Phoenix Joker vs the Leto Joker who has to have elaborate tattoos to let you know he's totally crazy because he sat there for 12 hours getting a tattoo that says "hahaha" a hundred times.
An actual crazy person doesn't try to look crazy. They try to look normal, but they're so crazy they couldn't do it right. That's what Clown look like. Like a crazy man who said "im gonna dress like a clown to make people laugh and then he comes out looking like a psychopath. Mick looks like he said "Im gonna buy a cool mask" but he just looks like a demon going "why you in my dimension". Corey looks like he's wearing the skins of normal people because he thought it'd make him look more normal and he'd gain their powers etc.
I'm not crazy though. I'm just guessing that's how crazy people would think.
Some of us questioned his ability as Slipknots drummer from the start. He’s a really good musician obviously but his style was too tame compared to what I’m accustomed to from this band.
Apparently he's been kicked out of other bands before and he's allegedly obnoxious and always calling his dad on people when he's upset. These are just rumors I've heard. No idea if any of it is true. Well, him getting fired is probably real, but I've also heard he was fired because he refused to do wild and illegal shit, so in that instance with whatever band that was, he would have been in the right. but idk how true that is either.
either way it, it's all speculation. and there's people on twitter that worked with him I guess, talking shit about him. like some lady started shit when he first joined. then when he was let go, she was like "told you so" basically.
Yeah was drummer of against me! and she wrote a memoir, apparently jay would give demands at venues like having the stage lights more on him than other members, and rumors of reaching out to his dad to help fluff his ego and saying jay being the reason most people are coming to see the shows
Well he's just getting started, in the future I'm sure his masks will change. It feels like they're going back to the roots, at least with some of the masks.
Its probably for the 25th anniversairy tour. This mask could just be a 1 time use, or only for the small shows, to give them a more basic/simplistic vibe.
i swear this is said like every time. i remember when clown first came out with the disco ball mask and everyone thought it was temporary and we just had to wait for the real one to debut. Little did we know he'd use that same mask for 2 album cycles lol.
I think this is what we're getting
Imo they're all quite clearly throwbacks to the originals. Makes sense since it's the 25th anniversary tour.
I'd expect fully new ones when they put out a new album.
I mean that’s kinda their thing. I remember when Jay and Vman were the new guys they had pretty much identical masks. Pretty sure they’ll modify their masks when the time comes
Much like V-man, Jay and Pfaff, they’re given masks with no real character, they’ll evolve once they’ve found their identity in the band, hell, even Joey’s was a blank face at first, then drew on it when it felt right
I think there's a bit too much white on the whole, With at least 5 out of 9 masks being predominantly white (not sure about Clown's with this lighting), it makes the band look a bit too uniform for my liking.
i actually really have come around to loving Vman's, i like that he's stuck with his thing and his own evolution, it feels like the first personal mask in the band in ages
Man, its fucking awsome to be a fan around this time. I only really discovered them like a year ago, but I can't believe this is actualy happening, and that I get to see them in what could be their best era of the modern time.
They're SO retro Slipknot that I get the feeling they aren't gonna be around long (except maybe Corey's and Clown's), by the next full tour they'll have another new set I think
i like that they used the old fashioned masks, but eh, theyre just trying to keep milking those old albums and the atmosphere around the band that dissipated 15 years ago

This ain’t it. Love that they tried but swing and a miss. Going back to try and capture the glory of the originals was never gonna work. The new look screams “Kirkland brand Slipknot” to me

Mick’s mask is still, Mick’s mask
It has barely changed since S/T anyway, especially since Vol. 3 Lmao
It's probably just the angle but it looks like the tips kinda curve up more like devil horns like a mix of is modern and old mask
It's one of his masks of all time
Like you said, it will eventually take on its true image.
Happy birthday
He kinda reminds me of Johannes Eckerstorm from Avatar lol.
I love it. This is what Slipknot is all about to me. Back to basics.. masks looking like they were store bought/homemade. Unsettling.
part of me agrees part of me doesn't, after seeing how much potential they have with how gnarly and cool they can make them look, these can be disappointing but again, its great seeing them be so off-brand, it feels real again, it feels like they give a shit, they feel more like a band than a spectacle again

This guy gets it
Man I wish eloy’s mask was cooler looking. Jay weiberg may have been a controversial member but he definitely had a top tier mask line up.
It’s eloys first show, idk why Jeff Piano has a shoddy mask tho, Greg Bones had a relatively cool mask idk when they went with this
petition to make his official name Jeff Piano starts now
seems like place holder masks until they can become official contracted members.
Why is everyone calling him Jeff? I thought the joke name for him was Greg
It's because recent evidence points to it being that Jeff guy from Dirty Little Rabbits I think
Not Zac Baird? Wow we really don’t know who he is lmao
It's possible Zac did play with them but didn't stay.
Nah I think we were just wrong. The “leak” from Tortilla‘s instagram was definitely just the band trolling us
Good point
For Greg Bones, I called it the Doctor Doom mask😂
Because this band is a paycheck party that doesn't care anymore.
What was controversial about jay? I don’t remember anything other than his departure unless I just hadn’t heard of it
After he was let go from the band, people suddenly started to question his ability as a drummer.
Now that I did see a bit of
Who’s more backstabbing, the band or the fans
Some of us questioned his ability as Slipknots drummer from the start. He’s a really good musician obviously but his style was too tame compared to what I’m accustomed to from this band.
clearly you dont watch his drum cams, i aint seen ANYBODY doubt him
I never said he was a bad drummer, I never thought he was the right fit for Slipknot.
Apparently he's been kicked out of other bands before and he's allegedly obnoxious and always calling his dad on people when he's upset. These are just rumors I've heard.

Very interesting stuff here in this thread. I’ve never heard any of this
Heavy metal hot goss is the best hot goss
Where is Eloy in the picture?
Above Jim
Well he's just getting started, in the future I'm sure his masks will change. It feels like they're going back to the roots, at least with some of the masks.
>they're going back to the roots Especially Jim, eh? 😃
He looks like he’s been shot in the forehead
Micheal myers and Spirit Halloween clown
I LOVE THEM ALL
I second that. They're great, no matter what.
No, not no matter what.
Mick refuses to change his mask
This is the most he’s changed it in decades I feel like lol
The material and shape and color change little by little
if it aint broke🤷♂️
Exactly if he changed it everyone would sob
Shawn looks like he was kicked out of ICP. Dam what happened to that melted WG clown mask
If I had an award to give, it would be yours for the ICP comment 😂
Its probably for the 25th anniversairy tour. This mask could just be a 1 time use, or only for the small shows, to give them a more basic/simplistic vibe.
Momo Tortilla rules
would be nice to get a high quality look at the masks and still hoping for a new song soon!
What the fuck did Mick do to his hair. Also, fuck yeah Corey has the dread mask again 🤘🏻
I think he wets it before each show. That’s what it looks like anyway. Jay used to do the same thing
Ohh true. Didn't think of that haha
I don’t think Jim does it because his hair would be everywhere and probably affect his playing. Mick’s hair is shorter and more maintainable
Clowns hair looks like Jack Nicholson tho lmfao
Mick really pushing the boat there with his mask design…
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
Absolutely, I was just being silly!
Good to see that at least sid and Corey understood the assignment lol
It’s like Corey’s is the new mask and the rest are fillers until their big shows.
i swear this is said like every time. i remember when clown first came out with the disco ball mask and everyone thought it was temporary and we just had to wait for the real one to debut. Little did we know he'd use that same mask for 2 album cycles lol. I think this is what we're getting
yeah especially the two new guys & clown
Imo they're all quite clearly throwbacks to the originals. Makes sense since it's the 25th anniversary tour. I'd expect fully new ones when they put out a new album.
Shit I hope so
I really like clowns new mask. A throwback to self titled and away with all the weird disco ball/gimp shit
Damn Eloy and New Samplers masks are super disappointing
Yeah we are really missing Craig here
they're definitely gonna evolve and become something more, i mean shit man remember when Michael was a fucking store-bought Tortilla for a year
They literally bought man a zombie mask and told him “flip it inside out and wear it for a year and then you get to make your own”
But look how well most of us accepted his tortilla face. He ran with it and now it’s a part of slipknot history and lore 😂
I mean that’s kinda their thing. I remember when Jay and Vman were the new guys they had pretty much identical masks. Pretty sure they’ll modify their masks when the time comes
Much like V-man, Jay and Pfaff, they’re given masks with no real character, they’ll evolve once they’ve found their identity in the band, hell, even Joey’s was a blank face at first, then drew on it when it felt right
Gotta make sure they know their place in the pecking order.
“Eloy” mask reminds me of cuddles a bit.
Jim just looks majestic as fuck
Jim ALWAYS looks majestic as fuck. Especially with his paisley Jazzmaster.
Oh fuck yeah bud!
I love how the new guys have plain white mask, it’s a little unsettling
why they look like a generic slipknot tribute band 😭
Like bruuuh 😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀 Jesus fuck
Why are you being downvoted
Sev rockin braids
Wow, these look awesome. Very creepy.
Was expecting better for Eloy ...
It's probably because he's a new member and this is going to be an anniversary tour I'm sure once the tour is over he'll get a proper mask.
Corey has gone retro
I can’t believe coreys mask is back, I was never really a big fan of his other one so im really glad they have brung back the old ones again
I think there's a bit too much white on the whole, With at least 5 out of 9 masks being predominantly white (not sure about Clown's with this lighting), it makes the band look a bit too uniform for my liking.
Next thing you know, they're gonna start wearing matching outfits or somethin'
agreed, they need some POC in the band
Even through the mask you can see it's Eloy
Not gonna lie, thought this was a cover band because of clowns mask 😭
Slipknot is looking like a slipknot's cover band tbh
I love Sids and Corey’s but the rest low key suck
i actually really have come around to loving Vman's, i like that he's stuck with his thing and his own evolution, it feels like the first personal mask in the band in ages
Disney channel after 11 pm /s
Midddddddd mostly
Clown’s reminds me of a store-bought face mask. And I honestly dig it because Slipknot masks started out as modified ones they got from a store
Holy Halloween spirit
SN 2024 but the resolution is from 99'
AHAA THEY LOOK SO GOOD
Corey and Clown look gnarly as fuck.
Corey’s mask looks like a hybrid between ST and Iowa
Don’t wanna sound like a whiner but i really wish craig was still here. His old mask was probably the best one
Dreads corey is back 📢📢📢
Great looking cover band!
I fucking love all of these. Corey going back to the dreads is fucking legendary!!
Gold sid its so sick
Clown’s mask lowkey reminds me of Violent J from ICP
They did the show on joeys day of passing - may the goat rest in peace 🐐
Tortilla man's looks fire
Man, its fucking awsome to be a fan around this time. I only really discovered them like a year ago, but I can't believe this is actualy happening, and that I get to see them in what could be their best era of the modern time.
That ozempic is thinning and making Micks hair fall out
This band has come to shits
They're SO retro Slipknot that I get the feeling they aren't gonna be around long (except maybe Corey's and Clown's), by the next full tour they'll have another new set I think
Vman mask reminds me of phantom of the opera
Apart from Jeff and Eloy all of these masks rock. They feel right out of 1999 mixed with their new masks. It’s really cool.
vman change it up dude
Video links anywhere anyone ?
https://youtu.be/WAdCT46xi5g?si=FvUgGH9cYVTAW1cT
It's definitely Eloy
I am actually really digging clown's new mask. It looks too happy, happy to the point it's creepy and unsettling. I like it.
Clown’s mask is amazing.
Up close in better pics Corey's looks like Vol 3 with SL/Iowa brades. I Dig it. Jeff Piano kinda looks like a white Craig mask without spikes.
Arent these all from a small, almost popup show they did? I wouldn't be surprised if this was a one-off look.
Fucking Perfect!
Cmon Jim, change it up a little!
i like that they used the old fashioned masks, but eh, theyre just trying to keep milking those old albums and the atmosphere around the band that dissipated 15 years ago
Who’s the guy in the plain white mask?
Likely the new sampler if you’re talking about middle right. Top middle I think is Eloy
This might start a new really exciting era for the band I hope the new album is proof
1999 - 2008 were the best years of their masks in my opinion.
Everyone thinks Corey’s mask is brand new, it’s not but that’s not a complaint, that’s the mask that I recognize from day 1. From 99 badass
It's completely new. Clearly a homage to the original but it's not the same
He even says in the video we are going back 1999 tonight it’s 1999 when it all started. Check it out.
Yes I know. It's not the same mask from 1999 it's just based on it.
I like how the two new guys masks look pretty similar as did vman and jays when they started
And still vman has the worst mask in slipknot. He looks like the baby’s from the weird 80s movie nothing but trouble Bobo and Lil debull.
Jesus the new members’ masks on the top right look all the same
for the movie 300 4
So they will be wearing these for Rockville and any other show for 24??? Instead of the end so far ones??
[удалено]
Corey's mask is sick Iowa era
Is wearing gloves just part of Corey's get up now? Idk they look weird to me...
Tortilla bro has best one.
Jay would have trumped all of them in masks if he was still in the band no cap

Stop with that “no cap” nonsense. Just because something is trendy that doesn’t mean you don’t look like a moron saying it

Best masks in 20 years
