Michael Shawn Crahan (Clown)

What I would say is I looked at him and I said, does that mean like,

I'm going to change the leather jacket and the jean jacket with the patches.

I'm going to get to like motivate some stuff, you know?

And he's like, yeah, you know, yeah.

And he's like, but that stuff's still going to be around.

I'm like, hey, I'm not knocking it.

You're saying I'm going to change metal and I don't have brothers and sisters.

I'm the only child that lived in my basement.

Anything I got, I had to get myself.

There was no one helping.

So I don't know what metal is to you.

Paul Gray would watch Slayer in a parking lot in L.A.

somewhere, you know, before their big time Slayer, like in a parking lot.

He's telling me these stories, you know, East L.A.

kid, you know, or Culver City and going to these shows.

And he did really well with me and he showed me.

my path and he thought my path was crescendos and breakdowns and and big rejoices so he showed me rage against the machine he went right to the big breakdown it actually played into it played it before it so i didn't even really get to hear it go down he's like oh sorry back play it

Comes down, you know, fuck you, I won't do what you tell me.

Boom!

And I just looked at him, and he handed me the tape.
