Slipknot Celebrates Album Anniversary with “Here Comes the Pain” Tour
Its been a quarter of a century since Slipknot released their self-titled debut album, which catapulted them into the spotlight in 1999. Now the nine-piece band is celebrating with the “Here Comes the Pain” tour that will take them across the entire country and ending up in their hometown of Des Moines, Iowa for Knotfest.
“We loved what we did with the first record but we didn’t even know if there was gonna be anything after that,” recalls guitarist Jim Root. “We just wanted people to hear it. Selling out of records and shows, having successful tours– those are goals for any band. But the dream scenario in some ways, came true for us.”
2024 marks another anniversary, as shared by bassist Alessandro “V-Man” Venturella. “”LADS!!!” 25th Anniversary marks 10 Years for me with Slipknot,” he shared on Instagram.
V-Man joined the fold in 2014 following Donnie Steele, who acted as a touring member following founding bassist Paul Gray’s death. See some of Venutrella’s top moments in this compilation by Loudwire:
