Slipknot percussionist Shawn Clown Crahan revealed that he and his bandmates hated each other while making their highly anticipated sophomore album
Iowa, which turns 20 next month.
In a retrospective Metal Hammer cover story about
Iowa, Clown detailed how the success of Slipknot’s 1999 self-titled debut and the pressure to craft a formidable follow-up eroded intra-band relationships. When we did
Iowa, we hated each other, the percussionist said. We hated the world. The world hated us.
Slipknot s struggle to complete their sophomore album is a classic music industry tale of getting too much, too soon, too fast. The nine masked metallurgists were burnt out from touring relentlessly in support of their debut, having logged over 100 shows in both 1999 and 2000.
