JAKARTA - In an interview with a print issue of Kerrang magazine!, Percussion player Slipknot Shawn "Clown" Crahan spoke of the possibility of his band tour at a slower pace in the future.
"The only god we've ever known is to go out on the streets, play our music and tour. I've always wanted that safety in my day. Growing up in an alcoholic family, music is a gift that helps me out," said Clown.
"But I can promise you that we won't be on tour like we used to be, because if we keep pushing like we used to, I don't think we'll be able to keep up."
Asked what it means for Slipknot, Crahan said: "I can see smaller places, with more dates. wouldn't it be great if we had seven days in New York City or London or anywhere else, in a normal-sized place, and played every album as a whole with intro, clothing, production, and everything from that time period? That could be cool," he continued.
"There are some songs we've never played live with. Places we've never visited. That's unacceptable."
Resigning to 2019, Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor hinted that physical demands to appear live with the band began to decrease.

"I mean, it crossed my mind over time," Taylor said after being asked by Metal Hammer how long he could continue his high-energy live appearance with Slipknot.
"The more difficult it is to do this. You think about when it will end. Nobody thought we would do it 20 years later," he added.
"If I can't do it again, I will quit, but that doesn't mean the band will stop. If I can't do it, then someone might be able to replace me."
"I've thought about this before: If the right people come and those people get involved, then I'll go. We can't underestimate anyone."
Meanwhile, in an interview with Barstool Backstage, drummer Jay Weinberg discussed his routine before appearing on stage with Slipknot.
Not without reason. This Iowa-based metal band is known to be energetic during concerts so that it has the potential to drain the personnel.
"We're more like an athletic team - we're more like a team than a band in a lot of ways," Weinberg opened.
"With so many people, and this and that, we have a team mentality and a sports mentality about what we do," he continued. Given that groups like Slipknot rely on physical, Weinberg has a kind of regular health check list every day.
