``Of course the look gets us noticed, but it`s not as contrived as all that. We started wearing masks and coveralls before we ever thought we`d have any success, before we were officially Slipknot. We would have worn them even if we never left our practice space.`` ``We put the masks on because we`re musicians and we play music, man. We`re kind of rebelling against [the continued commercialism of modern music; musicians doing Calvin Klein ads, etc.]. Obviously, our masks have a great look, but the reason that we started doing it in the first place was because we`d seen so many fucking bands suck the money dick and just completely cheese out to where they would get onstage and they`d be like `Hey, look! Do you like my new hairdo?` `Cool!` `D`ya like my new shirt that I bought on Santa Monica Boulevard today?` `Cool!` `Here`s my new shoes, I`m endorsed.` `Cool!` It`s like `Fuck you, man! Play your fuckin` music!` Nobody gives a shit, they want to fuckin` hear your music. And that`s why we did the masks, that`s why we did the coveralls, that`s why we did all those things. We were like `Fuck my face! Here`s my mask, this is what the music turns me into.` And `You know what? Fuck the clothing and the fuckin` fashion show that these other muthafuckers are puttin` on! Here`s my coveralls, deal with that!` And `Oh, music is product?` `No, music is expression, here`s my fuckin` barcode. There`s your product!` `Oh you want my name? You want to fuckin` be a namedropper? Here`s my number on my right arm.` `Piss off and die!` You know, we were so fuckin` tired of being let down and seeing so many other kids being let down by this shit that it was either you wait and wait and wait or you do it yourself.``
