Good Evening,

I am after two backstage passes for the upcoming Slipknot gig in Sheffield on December 12th.

I have been told by Sheffield arena rep that i need to contact either Slipknot or their management.

Money being no object when it comes to this..

can you please advise me of the best actions to take to ensure I obtain these passes before the show?

many thanks in advance for your time.

Andrew

This is Andrew Carpenter back in IT playing a joke on me, isn't it?

Just in case it isn't:

to whom this may concern:

i am writing on behalf of a couple friends and myself. recently, we all purchased the new slipknot album "all hope is gone" (cd/dvd pack). either the dvd is fine and its some weird joke or they're all defective. each one of us has put the dvd into our dvd players and it has been stuck on the title menu with no options to select. at least one of my friends and myself tried to play it on the computer, and we were unable to select any of the ten chapters listed on our side menus. the cd is awesome but without the dvd working properly it was pointless to purchase the combo. i was hoping you could either send us working dvds or some form of compensation in lieu of the dvds. i'm never one to complain but this being the album we all looked forward to this year, it was a severe let down that it doesn't work properly.


thank you for your time,

chris

I can't tell you if it's a joke on Clown's part or not, but you need to hit "enter" at the title menu, not play.

Greetings Everybody!
Some of you might have heard already, however I am very happy and excited to announce it to all my friends and family that Glenn Goelzer and I are engaged to be married in August of 2009! I couldn't be happier or more in love and I really appreciate everyone's support that has brought me to this point in life.
With Love and Excitement,

Congratulations on your nuptials! I'm not sure what support Roadrunner Records provided, but I hope you at least got a good railing to a Deicide album!

Hi,

Just picked up the new Slipknot album from Best Buy. Great! Curiously, I bought a cd that said "Parental Advisory" on it. When buying a Slipknot album, I am certainly not looking for censored music. When I put the cd in the computer, and ripped it however, I got music that says "Clean" next to all of the songs. I took a look again at the packaging and found nothing to designate this cd as being censored. Just the PA marking on the front. Did I buy an edited cd? If so, How do I distinguish the edited from the non edited?

Thanks in advance.

Steve

Hey Steve,

You did not buy an edited CD (at least as far as I can tell), but you are relying a bit too much on technology. I suspect that you put the CD in, and whatever music program you used hit up a database somewhere with incorrect information identifying the clean version as the standard version. We don't control those databases.

Of course the easiest way for you to tell is to actually listen to the album. Try listening to "Gematria" and see if there's the line "feed them shit" in it.

fuck you

Listen vadelnic_1@rambler.ru, it's funny that you have a script set up to email us "fuck you" every time we send out a Slipknot email, but could you please move the period up next to the fuck you and capitalize the F? I would greatly appreciate it!

From: Tim

hey roadrunner,

I would ask you, if you could organise a Slipknot Unplugged on MTV or something like that.
I think this would be very interesting and it proves the band a little, I mean, their songs with all the effects, unplugged? This must be possible!
;-)

I hope you are not going to ignore this mail because it's a little crackbrained. :-D

Greetings

Why don't we just get Chris, Clown, and Joey to sit down, slap the congas, and tell us how they really feel deep down inside? Then they can howl at the moon and roast marshmallows.

Hrm, Slipknot S'mores. That's not a bad idea. I'm gonna call Keebler.

Hi,

I just got an email from Eventful regarding a Slipknot concert in Iceland on Nov. 8th. Is there anyone that can verify this. I checked their website and it says that they will be playing in Finland.

If you do not have this information could you point me out to someone that does.

Reg.

Einar K. Moller

Dear Einar,

Eventful is full of shit. Sorry they got your hopes up.

thank you this album is very good!!!!!!!!!!    and good concert in
french  good luck , see you soon   christophe

Of course it is! Not only did Roadrunner put it out, but Black Stone Cherry are from the South just like me! Of course, our South is quite a bit different from Nice, but you'll definitely find gourmands there, too.

No jokes about my sister.
