Earlier this year, BBC Radio 1 filmed Slipknot during a live in-studio session where the band played six career-defining tracks at Maida Vale Studios. BBC Radio 1 then took the intimate performance in front of 120 people and added it to a produced a documentary that combines new interviews and backstage access from the group.
Until now, it was only available on Radio 1’s channel on iPlayer. The hour-long documentary that covers Slipknot’s quarter-century career is now finally on YouTube. According to BBC Radio 1’s description on YouTube:
“For those international fans, our Slipknot documentary that has been available on Radio 1’s channel on iPlayer, is now available here in full. A unique and fascinating insight into the career and controversies of one of the most successful and contentious heavy metal bands of all time: Slipknot. The six tracks, one from each of the band’s albums, transport the group, acknowledged by many as one of the most extreme live acts ever, from their usual arena-sized shows to a uniquely intimate and intense setting.
They added:
The film highlights the group’s phenomenal 25-year career, revealing how one of the most relentless and intense-sounding groups ever have struggled with drink, drugs, depression and the death of a band member, topped the charts, outsold their peers and picked up a Grammy along the way, whilst staying as bold, fearless and exhilarating as ever.”
Slipknot is scheduled be at Rock USA on July 18th. They will be the headliner for the final day of Rock USA 2020.
