Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Slipknot (band)" in English language version.
Sid Wilson on whom he would like to interview: I reckon Mike Patton would be an extremely interesting person to interview. He's probably got a lot of great stories to tell. He's definitely a hero of mine. Fingers crossed!
... we're kind of looking to our influences now. 'Cause we loved everything from old-school thrash to bands like Neurosis, Nine Inch Nails, you know, and [we're] just trying to kind of take stock of wearing our influences a little more on our sleeve and seeing where that will take us.
Joey Jordison: Fantômas are the ultimate supergroup, too. When I first heard about them I was like, 'That's my dream band right there. Mike Patton, Buzz Osbourne, Trevor Dunn and Dave Lombardo; it doesn't get any better than that.' I watched them play live at The Troubadour [legendary nightclub in West Hollywood, California] when we were making the first Slipknot record, and I can't even put into words what I saw that night. It was the most insane fucking show I've ever seen; it was magic. You always see one show in your life that you think, 'I wish I could go back and relive that', and that's the show I wish I could go back and see, at The Troubadour in 1998. Of course I've seen Slayer live a bunch of times, and Slayer are one of my favourite bands of all time, but that Fantômas gig showed me that no one can touch that man. So Lombardo is my ultimate drum hero.
Corey Taylor: I know he will shrug this off, but my biggest influence to this day is still Mike Patton [of Faith No More]. He is my hero: the best singer in the game, and most creative man on the planet. Absolutely fearless in his approach to art and music, he isn't afraid to say exactly what he thinks. Plus he's cool as shit.
Question to Shawn Crahan: Whose musical career do you most admire, and why (apart from your own)?
Shawn Crahan: We like Mike Patton a lot because he is just a music genius, he is able to reach out and do a bunch of other things without worrying about the industry. He'll put out a Bungle album that will be crazy and then the next Bungle album will be like a bunch of love songs, and he does it 'cos he needs to and he'll put out an album about pasta recipes - ... Slipknot likes people who stay true to their hearts-Picasso and van Gogh and Cézanne never made any money when they were doing Impressionism. Cézanne was [not] selling still lifes for food or money, he painted because he had to paint and because he loved to paint.
Corey Taylor after being asked about Mike Patton: ... Plus the Fantômas album, it's so good, dude. It's a very acquired taste. We had the privilege of seein' them live when we recorded our album. We were just blown away. We bought the album when it came out and it was exactly like it was on stage, man. If you can, definitely check it out. And listen to it with an open fucking mind. It makes Bungle look like Lawrence Welk. It's that fucked-up.
Fans will also be happy to see that Slipknot has made good on their promise of putting out an album that ranks among their heaviest, and one that expands on their thrash metal guitar work and vocal melodies.
