Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about (sic). By Songfacts®.

This is a rewritten, re-recorded version of a song from Slipknot's self-released CD Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat. Slipknot drummer Chris Fehn told us: "That song was called 'Slipknot' at the beginning. It had some guitar solos in there that got X'd out and I think it was a little slower back in the day. You know, 'dun dun, dun dun dun, dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun.' And then it got sped up." (Check out our interview with Chris Fehn.)

(sic) is a literary term which stands for "said in context" and is used to represent something that an author knows is wrong, but includes it in the writing anyway. Lead singer Corey Taylor is a fan of Author Edgar Allen Poe's work, who would use the term a lot.

The sample at the start, "Here Come the Pain," was taken from the film Carlito's Way, it occurs just as Al Pacino runs into an empty room after fleeing to the toilets - the scene is actually quite uneventful.
