Shred at the Metal Shed

Slipknot - Slipknot

Cartoonish masks, costumes, and face paint have been the initial focal point - for better or worse - for some of rock 'n' roll's most successful acts. Witness Kiss, David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, or Alice Cooper from days past.

Little does Donegan know that in a few minutes, Canadian border guards will abruptly cut our chat short. Seems a few guys on the other band's crews don't have perfect pasts, and the Mounties are going to disturb Disturbed's peace by searching their RV for contraband, of which, Donegan assures, there is none.
