SLIPKNOT: Extended Trailer For Unauthorized 'Documentary' Available

September 27, 2006

An extended, 20-minute trailer for "A Clown Short of Destiny", the "documentary" which follows the controversial rise of SLIPKNOT from the cornfields of Des Moines, Iowa, to the horn-throwin' crowds of Ozzfest, is available for viewing at iKlipz.com. Ten years in the making, "A Clown Short of Destiny" chronicles the 'KNOT's alleged "attempts to disgrace their hometown hard-rock scene and the effect that had on dozens of local bands," according to MTV.com.

"The story isn't about SLIPKNOT's music," filmmaker Chad Calek explained to MTV.com in late February 2006. "I love it. I think they're one of the greatest metal-rock bands that ever lived. I own all of their records. And when SLIPKNOT exploded, they didn't owe anybody anything. ... But there's a difference between not supporting [a music scene] and trying to destroy [one]. That's the line you see them cross in this film."
