Rolling Stone recently caught up with Slipknot percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan to discuss the band's tour plans for 2015 and their new line-up. An excerpt is available below:

Q: How did it feel to get back on the road last year with a new album?

Clown: "This business is pretty boring without us. You can look for something that's equivalent to Slipknot and you're going to fail miserably. It's emotional for us because we are still something that people require and still something that people love. When you reconnect with your fans, it helps you recall the first mission, and that is to conquer the fucking world with our disease and our art and leave everything behind."

Q: Slipknot singer Corey Taylor has said that you will be blowing stuff up on the tour. Is that literal or metaphoric?

Clown: "We blow a lot of stuff up. I wouldn't know where to begin. We're reinventing ourselves a little bit. The world of rock & roll is real safe. You watch all these bands at these festivals and the decadence and the bullshit that goes on, the belief that you're superhuman, and we're just not that way. We're just a force. We're just bored with the way things have been and how safe the industry has gotten. We've been trying to get a little bit more dangerous lately and bring some of our stuff out from the past a little more."

Q: What do you mean by getting "more dangerous"?

Clown: "The danger stems from the everyday, monotonous fucking bullshit in this industry. You pull up to these sheds and it's "left-brainer" business as usual. I want all the left-brainers to know that I exist and that my right brain will eat their left brain."
