Slipknot DJ Sharing His True Identity
Slipknot's Sid Wilson has recorded under several aliases, but he's now ready to put his own name behind one of his recordings. The DJ tells Billboard.com, quote, "When I see people, whether they're strangers or fans or friends or whatever, everyone is always like, 'Sid!' There's not a lot of people going, 'Hey, DJ Starscream!' or 'Hey, #0!' Everyone is always like, 'Sid!,' at concerts, at DJ gigs, wherever. That's what I hear the public calling for, so I'm going to give that to them." In addition to recording under his own name, Wilson plans to call his solo album "Sid." The rocker says the disc, which is due this fall, is an amalgamation of his influences, with everything from b-boy beats with rock flavor a la Beastie Boys or Run-DMC to industrially-tinged music reminiscent of Skinny Puppy or Nine Inch Nails.
One of the tracks that's getting some early attention is "Flat Lace," a song Wilson penned five years ago addressing late Slipknot bassist Paul Gray's substance issues. Wilson admits it's a tough song for him to sing -- or even talk about -- but notes, quote, "It's just about his different struggles in life, and it was my way of letting him know that I was always there for him and that I was aware of the things he had to deal with." Wilson adds that there hasn't been much discussion among band members about Slipknot's future, but he expects the band will do their best to move forward with the plans they had made prior to Gray's death. |
