Top 50 Songs Reminiscent of A Night In A Shitty Provincial Rock Club Between 1999 and 2003: Part 4 – “Negative outlook? Well that’s how I’m living”

20. Slipknot – Wait and Bleed (1999)

The only worthwhile thing that Slipknot inspired was that one Viz strip where they went back in time and stopped Queen Victoria from beating up an orphan boy by putting on an impromptu performance of “People = Shit”. Slipknot frontman Corey Pavin famously carried a dead crow in a jar with him while on tour, and would sniff the rotten roadkill before each gig. The cadaver achieved fame among Slipknot fans, but how do we know it was the same bird all along, and they didn’t pull a Blue Peter pet on us and change it without anyone knowing? Also, did anyone do the “dead bassist in a jar” gags when Paul Gray carked it or not? Just wanna know if we can do them here.
