A short while back Slipknot percussionist M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan told the BBC Radio 1 that he wouldn’t be surprised if Slipknot continued on with new members. Crahan said the station as part of a documentary:
“I’m always trying to figure out how to let it be forever, kind of like a Van Gogh painting. They’re not just gonna take one of my album covers and stick it in the Louvre. But if we can keep it going, if we can keep the philosophy and the culture going, there’s no reason why kings and queens can’t take it over.
Don’t be surprised one day, you know, nobody in the band will be in the band. It’ll all just be new people. I’ll be eighty and there’ll be a whole Slipknot thing moving. I mean, we’ve got two new guys now, man. You never know — my son might take over. You never know.”
Being April 01st, the band themselves have had some fun with that, launching the Slipknot Surrogate Program. An official site was launched over at Slipknotsurrogateprogram, complete with a form to fill out to help birth the next generation of Slipknot.
