Ridiculous press release of the day concerns AOL-sponsored heavy metal act...
QUOTE:
NEW SLIPKNOT IMAGES REVEALED!
Roadrunner Records partners with AOL Music’s Spinner.com for the Global Debut of New Slipknot Masks
On July 1, Slipknot, the Grammy Award winning, multi-platinum nine man hard rock enigma, will unveil its new imagery in an exclusive partnership with AOL Music, the web’s most trafficked online music destination*. This highly anticipated debut kicks-starts the launch of Slipknot’s new album, All Hope Is Gone, which is set for release on Roadrunner Records on August 25th. Masks are an integral part of the band’s identity and to reflect this point, AOL Music’s Spinner.com will host a retrospective photo gallery of Slipknot masks throughout their career, spanning all three previous albums and including the most recent controversial “Purgatory Masks.” The Slipknot mask unveiling will be featured on the main page of Spinner.com worldwide for 24 hours.
Slipknot is a groundbreaking nine-piece machine born out of Des Moines, Iowa. The band has sold over 10 million albums worldwide. Their last studio album VOL. 3: (THE SUBLIMINAL VERSES) was released in May 2004, debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart, selling over 240,000 copies its first week and 1.5 million copies in the U.S. to date. The album broke new ground for the band and spawned the hit singles “Duality,” “Vermilion” and “Before I Forget.” In November 2005 the band released SLIPKNOT 9.0: LIVE, a gold-certified double live album. December 2006 saw the release of the DVD Voliminal: Inside the 9. Certified platinum, it is a vivid, brutally honest glimpse of the world inside the band.
Now, if only we had a photo of an OTFer dressed up as one of Slipknot.

Hold on, are you saying that Samurai Jack is a OTFer? I feel you should inform the authorities of your theory, Miss Marple

Yeah, big news here. Somebody on TV gently pointed out that some mass murderers have been inclined to listen to classical music, the obvious subtext being that nobody blamed Beethoven for inspiring murderous rampages. But then, I suppose, nobody ever wore Mozart wigs to go on a killing spree.

Except Phil Spector.

The drummer has apparently broken his leg, so they've cancelled their appearances at this weekend's Reading & Leeds festival.
Couldn't they just get someone else in as they all wear masks anyway? No-one would ever know would they?

Oof. Touche!
Me and the boy SSS on NYE 2002/3. The suits were actually a lot better than this photo suggests.
A lot of funny stuff happened this night not the least of which we had a whole pub full of people watching us (there were five of us) dance to YMCA and we nearly got into a fight with a bunch of lads dressed as The Hives.

Hahaha, that would have been even funnier than the Batman vs Spiderman vs Superman punch-up that my future brother-in-law witnessed on Newcastle quayside.

It does lend itself to pretty funny situations. Batman and Superman walked round a corner straight into us. Both of them screamed and Superman said: "Jesus Christ lads - I thought I was going to have a heart attack then."
