How did Sid Wilson get into Slipknot?

Wilson found a unique – albeit violent – way to get the attention of Slipknot. According to his interview with Revolver, the DJ said he had headbutted founding percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan a few times during one of their earlier shows – as a way of convincing them that he had what it took to do the gig.

“I was already practising with the band and coming up with parts and everything,” Wilson told the publication. “But before making the commitment, I needed to see the band live. They kept telling me, ‘We’re crazy, we’re crazy. We wear masks, we’re crazy.’ I’m like, Got it. Check. Crazy. I’m like, ‘I’m crazy. Trust me.’”

He said he started running towards Crahan and was “leapfrogging people” before grabbing him and “headbutt[ing] him six times” – which apparently worked. “And he goes, ‘I don’t give a sh** what anybody says – that guy’s in the band,’” explained Wilson.
