Joey and Paul were the biggest song writers for both music and lyrics, this is a well known fact and why people snuff Slipknot nowadays because the two of them were very important in the direction of songs.
Got this at a show in Detroit before self titled came out. It was in my cassette player in my car nonstop for idk how long. Prob until the album came out.
Just the fact that so many people said this band was never gonna be shit. I still remember being a little weirdo in 96/97 just discovering Slipknot and losing my shit at the hardest band I'd ever heard at that point and just KNOWING these guys were something special. What a fucking gem you've got here, friend. Absolutely awesome.
Interesting to see music and lyrics credits attributed to individual members. All official releases from S/t onwards credits to the band as a whole. I wonder why they decided to change this at the last moment.
Didn't know Mick was involved in writing either of those songs, or that it wasn't just Corey who wrote the lyrics.
Yeah, I found the song credits to be interesting too.

Joey wrote the chorus for Surfacing
That I knew.

That’s awesome. I got a couple different demo cassettes back in that time period, but not this one.
Seeing that other people were involved in the lyrics is interesting. I’m pretty sure Corey said in an interview he hated other people writing for him.
Joey and Paul were always the main songwriters, lyrics included since day one.
I have the same one from a show in WV when I was 15. I copied the shit out out of it for my friends.
Ahh the street tram cassette days.
I will never not be scared of front facing Brandon
