| | MTV News | Hard Times Spawn Slipknot's 'Disasterpieces' DVD |
 | | Although the band's third album, Iowa, dropped in late August, prompting maggots everywhere to rejoice, tragedy struck the World Trade Center and the Pentagon a couple of weeks later, temporarily curbing fans' elation and fostering an environment in which songs such as "Everything Ends" and "I Am Hated" weren't among the most welcome. |
 | | Factor in the bad news that percussionist Clown's wife had taken ill, and that the band was touring in the midst of a slumping economy, and the bulb-nosed performer wasn't the happiest of harlequins. |
 | | Clown, therefore, thought it essential to create "Disasterpieces," Slipknot's first official home video, to share what it's like to be a member of one of the most animated and unruly mobs in rock. |
