Hey Maggots, I wanna start a discussion! Of the major members of Slipknot, being everyone who was a fixture onstage from 1999-Present (2022), what do you think was each individual's best song live? I'll start us off:

#0 Sid: I honestly think that Sid is always at his best when People=Shit is on. His scratches are always on point and he's just out there having his best time ever.

#1 Joey: It feels like a copout given that it's one of the most popular clips of him, but I really think Joey was in his wheelhouse during Eyeless. One could also argue Spit It Out given the 2009 Download drum stunt, but I really think it didn't get any better than Joey blasting out Eyeless like Marlon Brando owed him serious debt.

#2 Paul: Among many things about him, another thing I miss about Paul were his improvisations for Vermilion. If you listened to the 9.0 and Download performances, you can always hear him add in something here and there that isn't on the record, and it somehow completes the song even more.

#3 Chris: Now I know people are gonna be thinking Sulfur or Custer, but there is a completely different song that I think Chris Fehn made his fucking bitch. The Nameless throughout 2004 and 2005. They didn't play it often, but when they did I think it's safe to say that Chris overshadowed the fuck out of Corey. Every scream was on point and absolutely brutal.

#4 Jim: He's got a lot of songs that he does super well, so this is a little difficult to call. However I have to say that Jim is actually at his best, in my opinion, when he's playing Dead Memories. I know this is likely gonna piss someone off, but Jim takes his improv style and seems to dial it up to eleven during Dead Memories, and it absolutely sounds beautiful.

#5 Craig: What is there to say about The Silent One? Killers are quiet? Lol, Craig is very hard to pinpoint during a show, and I think it's unfair to say that his best is Vermilion. No, instead his best is probably during the 2008 performances of Only One. Why? It's simple. If you know, you know.

#6 Clown: Clown's performance has steadily declined since Iowa. It's my opinion that his vocals have gotten very poor, especially during Disasterpiece these last few years. But where is his strength really brought out? During Psychosocial imo. There's nothing funnier to me than seeing him dancing while hitting the percussion during that song, he always seems so bouncy and happy. And unlike Duality's keg bat, it's not always something you notice.

#7 Mick: Señor Siete is a fucking beast, no way around it. He's a punisher like no other. Therefore I give Eeyore to him by virtue of the blistering speed of that song. As a guitarist myself, fuck that.

#8 The Great Big Mouth: If anybody owns Spit It Out besides Joey, it was Corey fucking Taylor. Even if the speech has gotten old, there's still never been anything more fun in my life than being in the back row of an arena and jumping the fuck up with thousands of other people. But what does Corey Taylor think?

Jay: Do you know why I feel robbed? Because if Slipknot had the fucking balls to play Red Flag then I guarantee you it would be on here. But it's not, because they've not yet played Red Flag. So instead, Jaypay has owned Vermilion during every step of the way. And I will spoil the rest of the list by saying that Vermilion will not appear again, it's just that Jay's double pedals during Vermilion, especially Day of the Gusano, are fearsome. Maybe he's just showing off or something, but it always pumps me up. Jay owns that song.

V-Man: V-Man hasn't gotten a lot of opportunity to shine. Alas, if only they played AOV more it would surely be here. But they haven't in a while, and so I can't say for sure how well Alex does with that solo with certainty. So if it's not AOV, then what? Well, if I may be a hypocrite and if I may completely disregard what I just said, The Dying Song is so far Alex's strength. It may not be the best song in the catalog, but Alex does really well with the bass run. However I will say that if Acidic gets played live, then this will change because I love Alex's bass work on that song.

Tortilla: Oh dear Pfaff, you who are so wise in the ways of batshit insanity. If The Nameless was Chris' bitch, then Nero Forte is your bitch. I honestly hope Nero Forte gets added to the setlist again, because Mike did really well with it in 2020 with his limited vocals, and it sounded really good at Knotfest LA last year. With how he still only improves his vocals, I can't wait to hear how he does it in the future.

But that's my thoughts Maggots, what say you? What songs do you think these individuals perform(ed) live the best?

What is your favourite Jim era ?

Ooough what a question! 😈

I would have to say now; WANYK/TESF. His whole look just 🤤. His hair, his mask, his outfits, all paired with the fact that he just seems so confident and just goes out there and slays. You can tell he’s doing better and that makes me so happy.

However, let me dive into the other eras because I can’t pick just one.

Self titled and Iowa were pure chaos where no one gave a fuck and it’s fun to see clips of him just going crazy on stage. I can tell he was excited to be there.

Vol 3 I know he became more involved in writing and did some exploratory things on that album and I absolutely love that album so that hold a place in my heart.

All Hope Is Gone he kind of introduced his look (almost like his current look) to us and was also involved in writing some of my other favorite songs.

Gray chapter I know he wrote A LOT on that album and put a ton of work into it and he also wrote my favorite song, The Negative One. He switched up his look a bit but he was still on fire.

All in all, I like every era of Jim. I definitely think he’s such an essential member to the band and you can tell his talent has grown over the years. But his current era is definitely my favorite.

Thank you for the ask! I love answering these! 💕
