Shawn "Clown" Crahan Interview Unmasked

[nyanrlz]

What was Shawn thinking?

" only if I had my baseball bat" LOL

[timmymaines]

theres another vid of shawn where hes playing golf..i dont know when it was done or when this was done but he looks so different..

[timmymaines]

@timmymaines opps my bad it was chris playing golf...that explains it haha

[CANEPA13]

Camera shake. More camera shake! TOO MUCH CAMERA SHAKE!

What're you, Matt Damon? This ain't the Born Identity!

Other than the camerawork, this is an awesome interview.

[BobBigWheels]

to the cameraman, they have a new invention called a tripod

[rlepola]

Speaks from his hearth, he speaks the truth.

[taffysaur]

is jack endino asking the questions?

[DiCkRiChArDz]

@taffysaur I was just thinking the same thing. Sounds exactly like him.

[DaBEAVERstate]

Pretty cool guy. Good interview. Slipknot kicks ass!!

[NorskRobot]

The filming extremely annoying, it's like having 5 people behind curtains, flowers etc holding a phone cam, and shaking it like hell, with no idea how to control the zoom

[MAGNASWAG]

thumbs up if you're competing against me for one of those trophies.

[maraippo]

"this is his leg, this is his ears, this is his fingers, this is his beard, oh, thats the nose" the cameraman is saying...

[GibraltarDIY]

This camera style was interesting 20 years ago but now-please stop. What Shawn is saying is interesting and the video would have been more interesting seeing him in well composed frames. That being said-thx for a great interview.

[sacredpotion24]

ok whats with the camera angles here... i see hands... close up's that are.. WAYYY TOO CLOSE and a camera that's constantly JITTERING LEFT AND RIGHT... then... then there's the angle where the camera is at a 30' degree angle looking at Shawn from his left leg and lap like theres gonna be an earthquake... whats that about..?? did the camera guy have ants in his pants or what?

[soccerandrew1991]

charlie sheens camera man bumbing 7 gram rocks

[yoda2287]

Thats what Shawn looks like? Fuck!

[sacredpotion24]

@yoda2287 maybe he should keep the mask on... lol

[yoda2287]

@sacredpotion24 My thoughts exactly 

[thebobbalo1]

I heard he's a major dick as a person. :/

[ViralJuggernaut]

@thebobbalo1 I've heard that too. Although I haven't met him in person, I had the pleasure to at least speak with him through Twitter. He never sounded like a dick, he was always nice and encouraging.

[hapokas666]

es pärisee kameramiehellä ^^

[ElvisBluntman777]

the camera guy probably got overexcited and started jacking off while filming this

[BlackBerserkgasme]

Its awesome to see a guy who goes so insane on stage and give it his all! hurts himself plays full of energy, and then sit down like this and show how incredibly intelligent he is.

[vTupaczGhosTv]

These comments made me LOL

[cowdust51]

wtf is up with the camera twirl @ 3:06?

[squeaiker]

He looks a bit like Kirk Windstein.

[Chickenbreast97]

Slipknot is the most personal band i have ever come across.

[SnajjdeR]

I find this difficult to masturbate to.

[TaxWriteOff]

the cameraman should never consider shooting porn



[kraskata2012]

slipknot can do with only 3 members IMFAO

[KTM990WFO]

Not hating, but seriously what does this guy do? Every time I watch a Slipknot show on YouTube all I see him doing is jumping around on stage and banging on drums (hardly useful). He hardly contributes anything to the live performances. He may contribute to the music off stage, but if Shawn has the right to be on stage then hell why not have Mick's guitar-tech out there too?

[88dangerousdave88]

@KTM990WFO If you get chance to go and watch the band live. You'll see exactly what every band member does live. Youtube only allows for that certain camera angle at that certain time

[KazekageMaelstrom]

@KTM990WFO Joey Jordison (drum kit) does play double bass drum, but if you listen to the sound of it without Shawn or Chris, it sounds much different than you'd think it would. The custom percussionists add a driving, heavy force to the band. YouTube can't really hold in a personality, which he has. And you know, if you were a contributing member of a band, and your were told you couldn't come on stage because you just "bang on drums", similar to "pressing buttons", "moving discs", it'd suck.

[stix471]

3:06 i laughed my ass off because of the combination of all the comments and that new camera move, seriously WTF was he going for with that?

[EatMeCoconut]

@stix471 .... me too

[MoshPitPanda326]

im lmao at all the camera man comments

[Sharky1391]

o.O is his right eye gone?????????

[ilikekokokola]

@Sharky1391 no, check out 1:28, he looks to his left and you can see both eyes

[kollosno]

FUCK THE CAMERAMAN!! O.o OMG HE SUCKS!! CAN EHE HOLD THAT FREAKING CAMERA STILL FOR ONE FUCKING SECOND???!!! 

[robertkruger]

I mean hes the scaryest not that hes ugly

[robertkruger]

Wow he looks better with the mask on

[TheKingBlackFire]

Thank god Michael J Fox was there to film.

[RaisedInGilberts]

shawn dose shit all for the band anyway..........him not going on tour makes no diferance :L

[ButteryToastFilms]

@RaisedInGilberts You don't know shit! Shawn is the brains of the band. He directed them from the start and they probably wouldn't have made it as far as they did without him because of all the decisions he made. Do some research before you make yourself look like a fucking retard!

[RaisedInGilberts]

@ButteryToastFilms no mate he gets paid a shit load of money to stand on stage and hit a bin :/

[ButteryToastFilms]

@RaisedInGilberts Thats what he does on stage it's whats behind the stage that counts and he always makes the best choices. Without him they wouldn't have gotten as far as they did!!!

[RaisedInGilberts]

@ButteryToastFilms :L getting defensive ey????? i bet ur the bin hitter for your band

[ButteryToastFilms]

@RaisedInGilberts Lead guitarist actually fuckhead!

[RaisedInGilberts]

@ButteryToastFilms im sure ;)

[slash2890]

OMG,..3.07..wtf is the cameraman trying to do??

[Soleous12]

i love slipknot...but for a celebrity to talk about how diffidult life is to me, is a joke until you experience the near death of something you cant control...i only wish i get paid as much as these guys for "risking" my life.

[Soleous12]

sounds a lot like being in the military....i have missed plenty of bdays annisversaries and even funerals, because i was making those sacrifieces for something more than myself....this guy talks about leaving his family and missing this that and the other for a dream...one that he chose and is well paid for....i guess he doesnt know what its like to be told you have to go somewhere you absolutely positively dont want to go...but if you dont..you go to jail and are disgraced

[DamageIncM]

But don't keep the camera behind some object... THAT's annoying!

[doooooooooom8123]

this camerawork makes me jizz

[Taps1995]

Why is everyone commenting on the camera work? Shawn likes this camera work. It's obvious from their past dvds.

[flambeau9decoy]

its great seeing that ray charles has found work

[MoshPitPanda326]

@flambeau9decoy lmao

[ijustrule]

Keep the camera still. This is stupid.

[sasquatchcrew]

Subliminal camera work.

[SgtMcCullin]

Cameraman pisses me off.

[hampulator]

Camera mans all tizzled up

[metalworshiper123]

nice to see that everyone is talkin about how important and sad this video is, and no ones paying attention to the camera. GOOD SPIRIT GUYYSSS

[KalleBlomquist93]

that camerawork is perfect.

its on purpose man.

its art.

[xHeavyMetalDeathCutx]

lolz

[HenryKrinkleFilms]

FUCKING CAMERAMAN!

[Guitargasm17]

I can't take this seriously if the cameramen won't take this seriously. Like at 3:06 was that necessary?

[GreenFloyd12]

the cameraman has ADHD

[podfreak]

how is he keeping a straigh tface when he is surrounded by monkeys jumping all around him holding cameras???

[topgearrules100]

3:06 what the heck?

[Albert18264]

One did hear that the cameraman farted followed through and shat his pants while filming this interview .

[MeanT241985]

2:16 Lets get a quick shot of his crotch

wtf

[1978deus]

Nice to see the cameraman from NYPD Blue is still getting work

[Sudo209]

@1978deus hahahhaahah

[ElvisBluntman777]

@1978deus LOL

[brando8577]

What is this guy's purpose in the band?

[MAGGOT44441]

@brando8577 he does backing vocals and is a percussionist and does all their technical shit like putting their dvds together and directing videos =]............................­...what a cool guy

[dannycatastrophe]

lmfao! i didnt even notice the camera thing.....the hand...the foot...the flower....and the beard...amazing

[NoButtonsToday]

I'm literally LAUGHING MY ASS OFF because of all the complaints bout the cameraman lolololololololol everyones pissed

[t0psecretshit]

i'm dizzy.

[1111krol]

HEY WHAT THE MOTHERFUCK CAMERAMAN?? THIS ISNT FUCKING CLOVERFIELD WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON???

[danzig33140]

Is the cameraman f****n' drunk?

[zerologo]

wtf  a 5years old camera man LOLz

[Theshark15z]

Poor Shawn now that Paul is gone is the only founder left from the original Slipknot.

[ThaTruth223]

I think joey has been there since 95 as well

[soberek]

Shawn is the 1000 ton concrete foundation of that band, and have been ever since the very beginning. Not many people know that. Only maggots seem to know.

[RPGRuigeRupsxD]

:'(

[666DespisedIcon]

this should be on failblog lmao cameraman fail

[fmarcum01]

Jesus Christ, the camera man is so sad! I've seen special-ed children with better camera-skills then that! >.> Literally -_-

Next time, even if they're on a low-budget interview--hire some one with experience or skills instead of a heroin addict.

[jmartinezza]

i like how everyone is complaining about the cameraman

[666DespisedIcon]

the cameraman is terrible i couldn't take this serious i kept laughing

[mikej941126]

CamerMan THere is a thing called tripod, self-control, and patience

[PSYCHOSRUS]

Cameraman.. get off the drugs man D:

[jabajabajaba12345678]

the cameraman drank 10 red bulls and ate 5 sacks of sugar.

[vTupaczGhosTv]

@jabajabajaba12345678 LMFAO

[stupidjerk42094]

fuck the camera man. I hope he never films another interview again

[Karribu]

FFS cameraman!! All that's missing is trance music or some shit.

[Thuul1]

Cameraman, my foot gonna drill a hole in ur ass

[minoux02]

CameraMan picked a hell of a time to fuck around with the zoom effect.

[CheeseSlurpy]

LEGEND

[nicolhaidi]

Okay, cameraman just made me go pooing.

[surfnmusic956]

im gunna have to kick 53 asses

[Zelcibot]

Camaraman is getting a blowjob.

[lolperson117]

he kicks ass and will probly never be "that guy" agian

[z3roemachine]

Am i the only one who honestly think slipknot hasn't sold out in their last 2 albums? Yes, given they have changed their sound A LITTLE but the message is the same. They can't have every fucking song and album be the same, that would be shit.

[patient6407]

@z3roemachine I knew there was intelligent people in the world!!! I love these fuckin guys ahig isn't they're best but the good songs on it more than make up for the ones i don't care for...actually it's the first album that every song isn't awesome....in my opinion...

[z3roemachine]

@patient6407 exactly :)

[cjms1997]

@z3roemachine honestly i like the last 2 albums more than the rest

[z3roemachine]

@cjms1997 Cool. I disagree with your opinion, but I'm not gonna be a hating fucking troll.

[aijeuk]

@cjms1997 i love all of the albums, they are all different and show different skills within slipknot, the band and maskz evolve and so does the music

[cjms1997]

@aijeuk yea i agree

[742617000027JustKill]

3:06 is he rolling on the floor or something?

[DrewKF]

What a fucking incredible man... awesome.

[Pamahana97]

god i am i very hardcore slipknot fan and i will regret saying this they all look like shit unmasked and i understand why

[z3roemachine]

@Pamahana97 well they all got old, i mean shawn's like 40 now

[Metalfeak3]

He looks like he is going to kill someone. 

[JegasLLC]

Wow - Great Interview.

[TheGAMEBOY1994]

To bad Paul Gray had to be "That Guy" :'(.

R.I.P. Paul Gray

[XxSlipKnoTx4xLIF3xX]

Its a good interview but I'm dizzy as f*ck.

[thesuperfreshhh]

Great interview that. Although yeah, camera is rather ridiculous.

[413skip666]

wow the interview was good but might as well been jus audio ... this cameraman should never be allowed to hold another camera

[chickapac]

@allegedretribution,lmao....wh­at.:D

[joeycupcakes12]

By the way he looks and talks, hes the last man i would expect to play in a band like Slipknot, but he's awesome, and so is slipknot!

[rammsteinrulz16]

this is why ill either not get famous and have a family or get famous and put everything into the band. If that makes me selfish, whatever.

[jiggalude]

for having such crazy music, and crazy persona's, they all seem really down to earth.

[femoman]

@jiggalude Well, Clown is probably the deepest member of Slipknot.

[allegedretribution]

its hard to believe this guy who acts like hes 60 plays in a band with sid wilson who acts like hes got ADHD

[RandyLeeSnyderJr]

@allegedretribution He does have ADHD xD

[6filthy66]

the camera man i wee man n he keeps fallin of the step stool , LOL

[lcddg]

i'd just puke thanks cameraman thanks for making me dizzy

[vaux991]

it seems that the cameraman was getting done from behind... only possible answer for the fucking earthquake visionary!!!

[samhasissues]

hizzle wazzile my grill

[AllyKatt86]

The camera movement was done on purpose to add an artistic quality to the video. Shawn it's awesome to hear you talk about things that are so real and that effect everyone in the music industry, from the small man (like myself) to the ones on your level! Congratulations on your success and i hope for many more success with you, slipknot, dirty little rabbits, and all future endeavors!

[hoss7753]

I was on a flight about 5 yrs ago, and had no one sitting next to me right up until the time they were going to close the door before the flight. I thought I was going to be able to stretch out. This scraggly guy is last onto the plane. He comes over and plops down next to me. I get disappointed, but will live with it. He asks me what I do for a living and I tell him. Then I ask him, and he says, "I'm in a band." I asked which one, and his reply floored me...Slipknot..It was Shawn Crahan.

[JosephKuby]

@hoss7753, what did you two guys talk about?

[Wildcardbitches1]

R.I.P. paul grey

[IronMaidenMattias666]

GRAY

GREY is a colour...............

[Wildcardbitches1]

@reviewhouse rofl!

[zactodd1]

wtf is wrong with the cameraman? is he dying?

[thesuperfreshhh]

@zactodd1  LOL

[matmanqwe]

@zactodd1 lol he cant keep the camara on his face

[Drummerking158]

@zactodd1 he's on drugs

[KingOfDarkness1996]

@zactodd1 Hahaha, that made me laugh that was funny. i was thinking the same thing.

[BiggestKornFan1993]

@zactodd1 He's shaking cause Shawn is good at scaring people

[ORe316]

seems like he'd be a really nice guy, but something in his eyes scares me.

[larawora]

he looks like the last person on earth that will looks/act like the "clown" (im know hes only doing a show but every person/artist who doing art need to have marks of the same character/person.) and he not have even one mark he even not look like a rockstar he looks like a psychologist (with means in perfect for metal artist)

[braveheart792]

is the camera man dying?

[a8thebait4774]

@braveheart792 lol

[thenyappymaker]

my god, he got more scaars than wrinkels

[Zoza15]

He makes realistic specific points..

So he made his choice..

[HighCardWins]

how old is that guy? he looks 60

[MoortenJ]

@HighCardWins he's 40.

[V1c1ousWeasel]

Dude, I love Slipknot but he needs to quit bitching. You chose this path, just like I chose the military. You know your going to be gone touring all the time, I've done my time in Iraq and missed a hell of a lot of things just like you. You pay the price for fame. I bet any of us slipknot fans would give one of our nuts to be able to be part of the band and rock a crowd just once, I know I would.

It does suck you've missed out on a lot but again you chose that...so don't bitch.

[tylord97]

camera dude=retard

[pipeline3609]

Camera man is on crack.

[LagKnight1]

fail @ camera

[SirMichaelShay]

3:45 his foot isn't being inteviewed.

[fireandflames013]

@SirMichaelShay LOL

[bajspackare93]

Wow, they really tried to make it look super professional but just failed totally. What the fuck is the camera and editing guys doing?

[MoNiToRstudios1]

to every one who's calling him fat, so what he's a BIT overweight, do you make millions of dollars?

[Ichigoofficial1]

Why does the camera moves all the fucking time?

[pimpadaisy]

i think the camera man is having a seizure

[joshbobak2]

@pimpadaisy good call

[phantomwinny]

what kind of drugs the camera man takes? is it a kind of art? why the fuck he must to shake around the camera like a drunken fool? i just want to enjoy the vid, and listen what this man has to say, but i'm going weird by this shaking camera!

[therealCanablisS]

wow not wut i accepted him to look like

[ESP4thaWin]

Does he even have any skillz at all?

[SwitchedProjex]

he looks real fuckin creepy

[rossapher24]

i guess the camera man must be really scared of him.

[rodgeComAu]

he talks about some very honest stuff at 2:00 with family

[Drovedestroyer]

Can I ask a question? Why the hell is there so many people hating on Shawn? What's the deal?

From what I see, he's a cool guy.

[MattAtaka]

Is the camera man like a half-crippled retard or something? Just zoom in on his face and not his left toe.. srsly -.-

[xXXsteveXXx13]

autistic cameraman! :C

[therealCanablisS]

[maggot2391]
