Product Description
Slipknot Unmasked was the first major biography of the band, who had risen to chart prominence since the mid 1999 release of their self-titled album. Chronologically, it deals with the band s mid 1990s formation in Iowa and reveals previously unknown facts about their origins, the author having tracked down and interviewed two founder members and the producers of their first demo. They also provided exclusive pictures of the band for this book. It covers various personnel changes that have occurred over the years, their unique image (they wear masks and overalls) and their frenzied stage antics resulting in members injuring themselves. This updated edition brings the Slipknot story right up to date detailing their activities in 2001 and 2002, including the release of their platinum album Iowa which topped the charts worldwide, and produced several singles. The various members have guested on other artists records and big-selling side projects including Stone Sour and Murderdolls.

Not being much of a Slipknot fan, I wasn't expecting much from this book. Fortunately I was pleasantly surprised. It's very in-depth in regards to how this band came to be & chronicles its success quite well. It provides a look into the their personal lives as well as their public persona. A sprinkling of the McIver trademark humor is always a good thing. Even though I don't much care for the band this is indeed a good read. I'm to the point now where I look forward to reading Joels books, no matter the subject.
 good but.. July 21, 2003

this book was great, but..it didnt show their faces enough if it did at all.
if you want a movie that shows their faces through the whole movie (just about).. i know the perfect movie.
The Knot Gone Wild.
check that movie out. but anyway..
the book was great. it kept me interested throughout the whole book. from the biginning of the bands' stardom to present day.
if you're a Slipknot fan, you should definalty get this book.
