Why slipknot fans called maggots

We just went out and ate everything around us. So now the great thing about Slipknot is that we're a resource for kids like us to take solace in. They can tell that we know exactly what the hell they're feeling - that reality can be a serious kick in the crotch. For all of Corey's clumsy yet heartfelt lyrics of adolescent angst, it's likely that Slipknot would have remained one more hackneyed thrash metal band were it not for the input of Clown.

He rapidly came to realise that Slipknot could develop an attention-grabbing visual element that mirrored the angst-ridden, everyman sentiments of the music.

What have our clothes got to do with anything? So we got the masks and the overalls and we set about developing the most insane live shows that anyone has ever seen.

This was the time when Clown began his dead crow-sniffing routine, in order to projectile-vomit through his mask. The rest of Slipknot happily entered into the spirit of things by frequently urinating and defecating on stage and, as Corey laconically reflects, "tossing turds" at each other and the newly enthralled audience. Bassist Paul Gray became prone to masturbating inside his overalls between songs.

Slipknot's primal-angst rock rapidly morphed into a freak show, and trailer-park America lapped it up. My dreadlocks just lash into it when I'm head-banging. We have insane amounts of energy at our gigs, so we get damaged. On the last tour, between us, we had 45 broken ribs and stitches. That's the ritual - the kids come to our show, go crazy with us, and then when they walk out, they're cleansed of all the bad shit that has built up in them.

That's what Slipknot do. We give those kids closure. It appears the majority of the maggots who spent the afternoon swarming around the Virgin Megastore have walked the short distance across town to the SECC as soon as the signing finished, giving them a mere five hours to wait until their idols reappear. One twitchy, skinny lad in a homemade Dicknose mask and boiler suit regards Slipknot's merchandise stall, hand in hand with his tiara-sporting Valentine's date.

The 7,capacity SECC is filling up, but there are still three hours until show time. Backstage, Clown is becoming restless. In the band's empty massage room, he outlines to me the singular world-view he perceives lurking behind Slipknot's gargantuan riffs.

Even compared to his demeanour at the earlier in-store event, Clown now seems twitchy and agitated. The proof of the world! Example one: the fact we have all been sentenced to death. I may have won the only important lotto ever, which is life, but I am still going to die. We all are.

We're all living out a jail sentence. Outside the room, the support bands begin to ladle out their thunderous, rudimentary riffs as Clown stares about him with baleful, barely concealed disgust.

Individual," he enunciates. Right now, we're dreading having to play. But when we go up there, the monster takes over. The other night on stage, I freaked out, grabbed our drummer Chris, threw him down and broke two of his fucking fingers.

You tell me. I was bored, and that's the only god I've got. That 60 minutes we spend on stage each night is God. There is a very adolescent element to Slipknot's disgust with the world, I venture. This doesn't go down well with Clown, who by now is raging at what he perceives as my failure to recognise the depths of his band's work. Their lyrics are misunderstood too They're pure Sic metal! Slipknot most recently is.

Wherein Lies Continue? Pulse of the Maggots? There has always been a rivalry due to the fact that mushroomhead fans have accused Slipknot of stealing their masked look, and vice-versa. Slip meant to slip away from heven and not meant to not go no where so slipknot means devil not. Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit said that all Slipknot fans are fat ugly kids, which pissed off Corey Taylor and the rest of Slipknot and a feud was born!

It's like a term of endearment for me. A lot of girls call themselves Barbies. Nicki Minaj did not invent that. People always add something to their Barbie name and because I love the Harajuku culture I made my Barbie the Harajuku Barbie, I thought it was unique and no one has ever said that kind of Barbie before. The girls ran with it, they gave it a life of its own.

I never set out to be on no Barbie Movement. My Barbies made the barbie movement. Phans - fans of Phish. Fans of Phantom of the Opera on Broadway are also known as Phans. Wayniacs - fans of Lil' Wayne… and also Wayne Newton. I'm guessing it's OK if they share a nickname since there's probably not much overlap in fan base.

Taylors or Taylor Gang - fans of Wiz Khalifa. The rapper is obsessed with his Chuck Taylor shoes, and fans took note. No doubt I'm missing many - let me know if your favorite band has a particularly interesting or pun-ny nickname for fans.

Black Stars - fans of Avril Lavigne. Avril uses this term to refer to her fans and her perfume. This is a band that demands full-on fandom; even obsession.

The Maggots know their favourite band inside out.
