Welcome to Version 5.1: All Hope Is Gone!

Slipknot rocker M. Shawn 'Clown' Crahan desperately wants to leave the band to spend more time with his family.

The percussionist admits he has become disillusioned with life on the road with the heavy rock group and hopes he will be able to quit or take an extended hiatus.

Crahan's wife Chantal was diagnosed with bowel condition Crohn's disease in 2001, and the star insists he would love to be at home with her and their four children.

He says, "I'm in a really weird place in my life right now. I'm at a point where I wouldn't say I'm having a mid-life crisis but... I'd love to be doing anything other than Slipknot right now.

"I've never wanted to be around my family as much as I want to be around them now. My wife is in the best health she's been in for a long while and I'm enjoying watching my kids grow up.

"I guess I don't know who I am any more and that's pretty scary."

Not Good News! We know Shawn wasn't too involved with the new album but this latest interview could mean we might not see Slipknot again after this album or certainly not for a good few years! Slipknot have always said they wont be Slipknot if all 9 of them aren't together.

Music Video Screenshots in Higher Res

Posted by Admin on 25 Jul 2008



Whilst taking screenshots of the latest "Psychosocial" video, we noticed ALL our screenshots were fucking shit quality! Like 200x150 or something shit.

So, we've just finished re-doing all the Music Video still shots from 1999's Spit It Out to 2006's Before I Forget. We are in the process of re-doing [2007] the Blister Exists and hopefully will be able to get high res shots of the new [2008] Psychosocial Video soon.We're just waiting for a high quality dvd rip quality video to appear.

The average res shot is around 700px now instead of the lame 200px it was before. So, this just means all the shots were taken from DVD shots so they are 100 times better quality. Check em out!
