SLIPKNOT Drummer Is 'Really Looking Forward' To South American Tour

September 7, 2005

Launch Radio Networks reports: SLIPKNOT begins its first-ever South American tour on September 18 in Bogota, Colombia, and drummer Joey Jordison told Launch that the band can't wait to finally visit the continent. "I've heard some pretty crazy stories about being down there, and the fans, and how rabid they are," he said. "We've been trying to get down there for a while. This is our third record, so since '99, people have been trying to pull us down there. And only now have we had the chance to be able to go down there, so we're really looking forward to that, so that should be pretty intense."

SLIPKNOT's South American trip will also take the group to Brazil, Venezuela, and Argentina.

The Iowa-based group will kick off a North American tour on October 14 in Cincinnati, Ohio. This will be the band's final run in support of its 2004 release, "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)".

The band recorded its recent shows in Singapore, Las Vegas, and the Japanese cities of Tokyo and Osaka for a live CD/DVD package that's due out on November 1.
