SLIPKNOT 'Save Face' At GRAMMY AWARDS: Photos Available

February 9, 2006

The Associated Press is reporting that SLIPKNOT saved face at the 48th annual Grammy Awards — arriving Wednesday night in their trademark masks to accept the award for "Best Metal Performance".

"Thanks to our fans, that's really what made us get here," said bassist Paul Gray, wearing shorts, a tie over his T-shirt and a Hannibal Lecter-style mask. Check out pictures from Getty Images:

"I hope people use this (music) in a positive way to educate people who are paying attention," added his shirtless bandmate Sid Wilson, who spoke from beneath a fedora and from behind a frosted plastic mask.

Although he was dressed in a bubble-gum pink jumpsuit and clown mask, Shawn "Clown" Crahan added a moment of solemnity to the affair when he choked up as he thanked his recently deceased father.

Crahan also explained to reporters SLIPKNOT's penchant for masks: "This is our concept, our dream, our sacrifice, our religion," he said.
