08/20/08 - STATEMENT ISSUED BY SLIPKNOT

To Our Fans:

It is with huge regret and disappointment that we have been forced to cancel our imminent European festival appearances at Leeds, Reading, 2 Days a Week, Area 4, as well as exclusive performances for MTV Europe and Virgin TV. The other night, Joey Jordison broke his ankle and doctors have advised Joey to stay off his leg for 4-6 weeks to prevent further injury or permanent and more serious damage.

We know you will be hugely disappointed and so are we. Canceling shows is never an easy decision and we apologize to all our fans, friends and family for not being there to throw down with you. We will be back in Europe this November and can't wait to see you all then.

Stay (sic),
Slipknot

08/20/08 - Reading and Leeds: Don't bottle Slipknot...



Slipknot will be rocking the Reading and Leeds festivals this weekend.

In an exclusive interview in tomorrow's Kerrang! magazine, we asked Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor how he feels about returning to the former Carling Weekender after a six year absence, and if he is at all unnerved by the prospect of facing the infamous British bottle throwers...

"No, not at all," laughs Taylor. "Because, honestly, we're gonna step out on stage and start throwing bottles at people. Just kidding! That was a joke. Please don't kick us off the bill!

"I think we've earned the right to be on the main stage at Reading and Leeds," he adds. "And I think a lot of people will be there to see Slipknot. It's not like the first time I've had shit thrown at me, let's put it that way. The bottles are fine. The bottles of piss are fine. But when you're throwing whiskey bottles and wrenches and shit? That's a bit much. Please leave that shit at home, folks."

When asked if Metallica and Tenacious D will have a hard time following the masked men from Iowa, Taylor said:

"Yeah, but we'll take it easy on them. It's The D and it's The 'Tallica for fuck sakes! We can only be so badass, you know what I'm saying? "

For the full interview, be sure to pick up a copy of today's Kerrang! magazine.
