SLIPKNOT Frontman Passes Out On Stage In Dallas; 'Knotfest' Pay-Per-View Event Announced - July 11, 2012
SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor passed out at the end of the last song of the band's set last night (Tueday, July 10) at the Dallas, Texas stop of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival tour. He tweeted earlier today, "I'm fine — just overheated in Dallas last night. Ready and waiting for Houston! Thank you to everyone for your concerns!"

Fan-filmed video footage of the incident can be seen below. (Corey passes out around 1:50 mark.)

In other news, SLIPKNOT's final live performance of 2012 will be broadcast worldwide via pay per view during the group's first-ever Knotfest, an extraordinary two-date metal and hard rock festival. The "Slipknot Live At Knotfest" event from Somerset, Wisconsin is in partnership with TODOCAST and Event View Live. The official broadcast site will launch today, July 11 via www.EventViewLive.com.

"One of our long-time dreams, is finally coming to fruition with the creation of Knotfest," says M. Shawn Crahan (a.k.a. Clown) of SLIPKNOT. "Our goal was to create a festival experience which screamed our vision. It means everything for everyone to see the live spectacle we're creating in the flesh, but we understand some fans around the world can't be at the show. We've now made it possible for you to be there in spirit — so join us live on August 18th."

The "Slipknot Live At Knotfest" event can be accessed from any Internet device at $14.95 for early bird fans starting today, July 11 through August 11. The week before the event, the price will rise to $19.95. Fans who purchase early will receive full access to "Slipknot Saturdays" which begin Saturday, July 14 (and continue each Saturday until the event) and feature exclusive SLIPKNOT performances and video footage documenting the road to Knotfest.

The "Slipknot Live At Knotfest" event will include all the insanity that goes on backstage. Fans can pause it. Rewind it. Re-watch it. Day-of-show footage includes a behind-the-scenes tour of the festival grounds, pre-show interviews with Knotfest artists and Mistress Juliya, the stunning high definition main-stage performance of SLIPKNOT as well as exclusive post-show interviews with the band. The entire "Slipknot Live At Knotfest" event package is available to purchasers for on-demand viewing for 30 days following the event.

"I'm just not ready to do another Slipknot concert after what happened to me at the last one. Still too painful. But I'm totally fine to write a book, a screenplay, do a solo record and tour, and unveil my new collector's edition action figures.."

Yeah Mistress Juliya might be a poser, but she's not nearly as bad as Jose from Liquid Metal and Headbangers Ball. Holy fuck is that guy annoying.

Agreed. Jose is the most annoying douche hole on the planet. Everytime he came on the station I had to change the channel because I couldn't stand his stupid fucking 'metal voice' and all his dipshit comments. Even when he was interviewing bands, you could hear their annoyance at his dumbass questions. He's the definition of 'tryiing too hard'.

Juliya is also a waste of skin.

Here's why he passed out:

Corey Taylor ate a burrito before the show, and when he farted in his jumpsuit, it went straight to his head, like a diarrhea gunshot!

If they didn't wear those stupid jumpsuits and masks in 100 degree heat, they wouldn't have heat strokes onstage! But then again, without that, people would realize their music sucks. Heat strokes it is!

I like Corey taylor for the most part. But wtf hydrate yourself Corey. Bruce Dickenson runs around like a madman for nearly 2 hours in 100 plus degree weather and he looks great at the end of the shows.

Frail little hipster couldn't take it. I agree with the Maiden comment. Saw them in Camden NJ couple weeks ago outside 100 humid degrees. Bruce never stopped. Up the Irons! Down with poser jumpsuit a-holes

100 degree weather can really take its toll on you if your neck is 26 yards in circumference but you weigh 90 pounds. Corey's head looks like a grape on top of a soda can.

Joking aside, his neck is ridiculous. Here's an idea - hopping around in a jumpsuit and rubber mask for two hours in three figure temps isn't the smartest way to avoid collapsing. But, hey, that's rock and roll and he made it to the last song. And I agree with one of the comments that says we'll never hear the end of it.

BM headline 7/12 - Corey Taylor still doing just fine

BM headline 7/13 - Corey Taylor nervous about performing in the heat again

BM headline 7/14 - Corey Taylor: "I am a golden god and the heat can suck my balls"

BM headline 7/15 - Clown: "Corey is my bro. Fuck the sun"

BM headline 7/16 - "FREE RANDY BLYTHE!" says Mitt Romney

I took my kid, not a huge Slipknot fan personally - but to you all naysayers, Slipknot flipping killed it, really, really great live band. And yes, they were better than the bands I went to see which were Anthrax, Motorhead, and Slayer. Anthrax was pretty good but I'd rather see them inside than in a parking lot in the middle of the day in the summer in Texas, Motorhead who I have seen a few times is finally looking like they need to maybe hang it up and just had little energy, and Slayer - they were were great and sounded good. Put on a hell of a show and I thought would make Slipknot look amateur. Nope. Slipknot music is kind of meh to me but they tore it up. And the place was proably 3/4 full during Slayer, it was 100% full during Slipknot, the whole place was singing along, jumping with the band - a really charged atmosphere. So whether you BM douchebags who have to have it only brutal, like it or not - Slipknot is flipping huge, great live, and are here to stay. If more bands cared about giving their audience their money's worth, maybe the music industry wouldn't be in the toilet.
