In 2011, a Facebook page was launched petitioning 'Saturday Night Live' to bring in Slipknot as a musical guest. It's hard to believe that the metal phenoms have never graced the 'SNL' stage, as they've brought the hate to 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno' in the past, along with multiple appearances on 'Conan' and 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'
Slipknot may be on a break, but percussionist M. Shawn Crahan (aka Clown) is making the most of his time. Late last year, he stepped behind the lens to direct the 'We Are' video for Hollywood Undead and now he's adding to his resume by overseeing a new clip for Motionless in White.
Just because you're in a seriously pissed off metal band with songs that contain lyrics such as "I want to slit your throat and f--- the wound" doesn't necessarily mean you don't have a soft side. Slipknot percussionist / backup vocalist Shawn 'Clown' Crahan has a son who is also in a band, and as Clown witnessed his spawn record vocals, the mad carnival villain couldn't help but shed a prideful tear.
After releasing the Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan-directed video for 'We Are' a couple weeks back, Hollywood Undead have now unveiled a behind-the-scenes clip chronicling the making of the video.
Hollywood Undead have unleashed the music video for the track 'We Are,' the first single from their upcoming 2013 album, 'Notes From the Underground,' due Jan. 8. The video was directed by Slipknot percussionist Shawn 'Clown' Crahan and is available below for your eyeballs to experience.
Hollywood Undead are gearing up to release their third studio album, 'Notes From the Underground' in 2013. With another year coming our way, rock and metal acts from around the world will attempt to create the biggest buzz of the year, capturing the spotlight for themselves and their music. To give Hollywood Undead a little extra boost for the new single 'We Are,' the band has recruited Slipknot's Shawn 'Clown' Crahan to direct the song's music video.
Slipknot percussionist and backup vocalist Shawn “Clown” Crahan already plays the part of a psychotic circus freak onstage, but now he’s taking his intensity to the silver screen. Crahan is set to make his acting debut in the upcoming film, ‘The Devil’s Carnival.’
