Speaking about his schedule for 2024, Taylor said: “Right now, SLIPKNOT’s kind of wrapping up a little bit. Next year, I know we’re talking about doing a handful of shows all over the world because it’s gonna be the 25th anniversary of the first album.” But he cautioned: “Now, don’t quote me on that. Best way to make God laugh is to announce your plans out loud. But that’s what we’re hinting at; it’s what we’re talking about.”
“Slipknot” arrived in 1999 via Roadrunner Records and was eventually certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association Of America (RIAA). Although it is considered by many to be SLIPKNOT’s official debut, it was preceded by the independently released “Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.” in 1996, an effort which was recorded prior to Taylor’s addition to the band.
