MUSHROOMHEAD Putting SLIPKNOT Feud To Rest
January 27, 2011Bryan Odell, a 20-year-old reporter from Lincoln, Nebraska, recently conducted an interview with Waylon Reavis and Jeffrey Nothing of the Cleveland, Ohio art-metal collective MUSHROOMHEAD. You can now watch the chat below.
On comparisons to SLIPKNOT:
Jeffrey Nothing: "That's something that's not even relevant. I think that's a few years past making any sense anymore.
"We've reached out to them recently because of what happened with Paul [Gray, late SLIPKNOT bassist] and we wished them the best.
"A lot of times the fans will just carry something on. [So we just] put the beef to rest and hopefully we'll get to do a show together sometime."
On the fact that MUSHROOMHEAD was around before SLIPKNOT but hasn't achieved the same kind of commercial success:
Jeffrey Nothing: "They [SLIPKNOT] got a lot of money right off the bat as far as promotion, so that's gonna thrust you into the limelight a lot faster. That, and getting Ozzfest for your first real tour, that's gonna definitely put you through the roof. We've been making the climb ourselves, pretty much, for all this time, which has been taking a little longer. Even though we were around first, but what are you gonna do?!"
MUSHROOMHEADs new album, "Beautiful Stories For Ugly Children", sold over 11,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 44 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band's previous CD, "Savior Sorrow", opened with 17,000 units back in September 2006 to land at No. 50.
