Slipknot
A STATEMENT FROM SLIPKNOT
To Our Fans:
It is with huge regret and disappointment that we have been forced to cancel our imminent European festival appearances at Leeds, Reading, 2 Days a Week, Area 4, as well as exclusive performances for MTV Europe and Virgin TV. The other night, Joey Jordison broke his ankle and doctors have advised Joey to stay off his leg for 4-6 weeks to prevent further injury or permanent and more serious damage.
We know you will be hugely disappointed and so are we. Canceling
shows is never an easy decision and we apologize to all our fans, friends and family for not being there to throw down with you. We will be back in Europe this November and can't wait to see you all then.
Stay (sic),
Slipknot

wtf why would slipknot have anything to do with south african school killings. they are a BAND. they make MUSIC. they dont KILL. what does wearing a mask have to do with anyting, he killed the people cause they were making fun of him. quick and simple. What if i killed somebody while listen to the fucking jonas brothers, would be say their music encourages me to kill, and would you blame them? of course not, because the world loves them, so they would just say im crazy or some shit. Bands have NOTHING to do with murderers.

I agree, I listen to slipknot, Dimmu borgir, Slayer, motorhead, Amon amarth, kalmah, dark tranquility, disturbed, marilyn manson etc. (and to top it off, if I'm not busy head banging, i listen to classical music, besides metal can be summed up as classical music on steroids...) and i haven't yet killed anyone... If anyone is to get the blame, it's the children... children are demons in disguise, and don't know the full potential of their actions. Like kojimetal said,"People kill people", its unfortunate that one fan fucked up by doing this stuped shit, I'm a South-African, and for the first time in my life, I'm not proud of saying that. Slipknot, we still love you, and keep up the good work, Joey hope the leg heals.

Slipknot and Marilyn Manson kill people. George Bush, Bin Laden, TV, Highschool bullying, and abusive parents are good stuff.

You killed a pig? Well thats still has nout to do with slipknot thats just a problem you have! Fuck off blaming music. Its how the people react to the music not the music itself. Its like people who go hyper on coffee or red bull. Its not Nescafe's falt, its how people react to it. I cant tell you how annoyed i get at people who blame others for their errors. Like my fellow teens who blame the government for their street crimes. Just fuck off and admit you have a problem.

Wow so if the music u listen to causes you to kill someone you where a moron in the first place and shouldn't be on this planet if you can't think for yourself (for example republican's and overly religious people) Music is not the problem, music is the solution!!!! And just for the record Vol. 3 is in no way better than the first 2 albums.

and another thing if slipknot can be blamed for this then can I blame them for every murder or crime that has been committed where the person was wearing a mask??? (which they haven't even confirmed was a slipknot mask) Especailly since crimes like this have been going on WAY before slipknot (or rock music for that matter) and will continue to happen way after slipknot, I mean come on people quit looking for a scape goat, we live in a jacked up world and jacked up things are going to happen, not everything has a easy explanation. I mean come on I live in Colorado and not once did I blame slipknot or manson for columbine. Music, Video games and movies are not to blame!!!
