1999

You were the newest member of Slipknot. Before slipknot, you had been in a few other small bands, rock bands, pop punk, and one metal.

And today, it was your first concert. You were sat backstage, running through the endless possibilities that you mess up a note, or do something wrong. Your fingers fiddle with the hem of your shirt out of nerves.

Suddenly, a hand is gently put on your shoulder. Corey.

He was wearing his mask, with your mask in his hand as he says,

“You alright man?”
