When Slipknot still had the original lineup with Anders Colselfini as vocalist, one idea of a name was MATE. FEED. KILL. REPEAT. which eventually became the name of Slipknot's first demo album.

Slipknot's former name was The Pale Ones, with Paul Gray on bass, Shawn Crahan on drums, Anders Colsefni on vocals and guitarist Donnie Steele.
This is an ongoing debate. Slipknot defend themselves with the reasons behind each members on masks. However, the gimmick of wearing macks was originally taken by a progressive metal band known as Mushroomhead who were to be singed by Roadrunner records yet instead Slipknot were singed. Coincidence?
