Slipknot kicked off their 25th anniversary “Here Comes The Pain” tour tonight, Tuesday, August 6th, in Noblesville, Indiana at the Ruoff Music Center. As promised the band performed the entire self-titled debut album and only tracks released before 1999. Some of the tracks have not been performed in years, or in some cases, over two decades. The tour also marks the first full national tour dates with Eloy Casagrande on drums, and the unknown replacement for Craig Jones, who has retired. Vocalist Corey Taylor issued a statement prior to the show (as filmed by Joshua Toomey): “I’m going to give you a brief warning, nothing you are about to hear tonight was written before 1999.”
