For fans who have ever wondered what rockers Slipknot do with their used stage masks once they've been retired, here's a little bit of inside-baseball for you.
Listen to your favorite music now -- curated for fans, by fans -- on Audacy’s Slipknot Radio, Don't Metal in My Affairs, and more!
Slipknot's man behind the turntables, Sid Wilson, has put his former false fleshy bits normally relegated to a trophy shelf to very good use as an animatronic moving nightmare that sits on stage with him and sings along to the band's setlist.
Even better... Wilson, who now wears a cyborg get-up while on tour, brought his We Are Not Your Kind-era mask to life in total secret from the rest of the Slipknot crew.
Check out a clip of him singing along to "The Chappeltown Rag" below!
Singer Corey Taylor told Kerrang!, "It’s incredible. He didn’t show us until [we made] the videos,” adding, “I don’t want to give too much away, but you’ve gotta ask him about the journey it took to get that fu**ing mask together, because he’ll talk to you about it for a good 20 minutes… It’s a f**king horror story!"
