A Complete Look Inside The World Of SLIPKNOT With SLIPKNOT MUSEUM GLOBAL DIRECTOR CAELIN MEREDITH

Words by Kris Peters
Knotfest throws up so many sonic moments of metal fury each year,
but one of the lesser known - but equally as interesting - parts of
the travelling music festival is the Knotfest Museum.
Assembled from a massive collection of Slipknot memorabilia from
the entirety of the bands' history, the Knotfest Museum is a
treasure trove of goodness for the discerning Maggot, and even
those with just a passing interest in a band that has
revolutionised the world of heavy metal.
Showcasing everything from old masks to costumes to photos to
rarities (last years was Clown's solid gold mask, out of captivity
for the first time ever) to the opportunity to actually play
guitars as used on stage by Jim Root, Mick Thompson and V-Man, the
Knotfest Museum is a must-see addition to Knotfest and one which
will leave you in awe and wonderment as you marvel at Slipknot's
history.
And, of course, this year will be that little bit more special with
a specifically curated museum focussing on Slipknot's 25th
anniversary and everything it entails.
HEAVY caught up with Slipknot Museum Global Director Caelin
Meredith from the official Slipknot warehouse - for the
once-in-a-lifetime, never-before-seen secret location - to find out
more. We talk about everything from what it takes to put together
the Slipknot Museum, how much input the band has in the process,
what special items we might get, how different this years museum
will be to last year, the interactive/playable content, booking
entry, why the Slipknot Museum is a must for Knotfest attendees and
more.
