35 inch Mudder was a popular rapcore band from Des Moines Iowa,who you probably know because the lead singer made a DVD called "A Clown Short Of Destiny" talking about how after Slipknot got big, they didn't go back to their roots and they screwed every other band in Des Moines over. Which isn't even true, they're just jealous and the reason they didn't get big is because the dude's lyrics are horrible and they sound like a carbon Limp Bizkit/Rage copy. Just posted this because I wanted to show everyone that Slipknot would've got laughed off stage if they plugged this band in.
@kuremadman NP man. And I actually remember reading an article titled "Des Moines is the next Seattle" and read about the big rivalry. It really does seem silly. It's not Slipknot's job to get you big. 35 had numerous opportunities but they never differentiated themselves from the rest.

Thanks very much for posting all of these. I was a hardcore DJ at Iowa State University when Slipknot went big. We thought we were going to be the Seattle of Hardcore. Seems silly looking back on it, but there were so many good bands. I had a lot of fun. It's too bad they couldn't put the Slipknot jealousy behind them. For awhile it was like we were all divided between Slipknot and Mudder. I always prefered Index Case.

Well you have to remember this was recorded in 1997. Back before rapcore blew up. So it was actually pretty original back then. Lyrics are a little corny.
