From left to right the members of Slipknot are, Craig Jones (Number 5), Jim Root (Number 4), Corey Taylor (Number 8), Shawn Crahan (Number 6), Mick Thomson (Number 7), Sid Wilson (Number 0), Joey Jordinson (Number 1), Chris Fehn (Number 3) and Paul Gray (Number 2). Each member is known for wearing a unique mask and matching jumpsuit. As well as being equipped with their own number from 0-8. The members of Slipknot were anonymous for a long period time. From 1999-2006, the members would leave shows with their masks on, waiting until they got home to take the masks off. They would either do interviews with censored faces or with masks on to keep their personal life away from the music. That is until their documentary video, Voliminal (Inside the 9) was released. In the video all the members had interviews taken without masks, except for Craig Jones. Whose face stayed anonymous. The members of Slipknot still were very rarely seen without masks. Not many people seeing them. Member Chris Fehn once said "Its a blessing fans don't recognize us". The members of the band stayed secret and discreet. Many people not knowing what they looked like until the death of founder and bassist Paul Gray. Where the remaining 8 Slipknot members held an unmasked press conference after the death. Letting all their identities be known for the first time.
