SLIPKNOT TAKES HOME GRAMMY…FINALLY!

Slipknot finally won a Grammy Award after being nominated almost every year of their existence. The band took the Best Metal Performance award for “Before I Forget” from Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses).

In a ceremony not seen on broadcast TV, Slipknot accepted the award.

“Wow. This is kind of crazy. We’re a band from Des Moines, Iowa. We were nominated for, like, the sixth time and finally won one. Thank you.”

The Grammy win was especially meaningful for band founder, Clown, who lost his father a few weeks ago while on tour.

“You know, as morbid as this may sound, I always knew that I was going to lose my father while I was out on the road with my family (Slipknot). And I wouldn’t change it. I wanted to be with my family. I wouldn’t change it. I wanted to be with my (Slipknot) family, but I always knew it would happen. It was just hard to have that and t was hard to have that realization and have that sink in because there’s so much sacrifice that you do to have your dream. It never ends, it can really hurt and it can cut in deep, but this is what we do. This is what we were born to do, and my old man wouldn’t want it any other way.”

Slipknot outlasted songs from Shadows Fall, Mudvayne, Ministry and Rammstein to win their first Grammy. The band is taking a break after a solid year’s worth of touring.
