Timeline

1969

Michael Shawn Crahan (born September 24, 1969), more commonly known by his stage persona "Clown", is an American musician.

He is the co-founder and one of the percussionists for nu metal band Slipknot, in which he is designated #6.

1993

Crahan married his wife Chantel in June 1993, in Des Moines, Iowa.

1995

Crahan helped form Slipknot in 1995 alongside bassist Paul Gray and former vocalist Anders Colsefni.

Crahan is the longest-serving and only remaining original member of Slipknot, and also has extensive involvement with Slipknot's media production and music videos.

Outside Slipknot, Crahan had two side project bands called To My Surprise and Dirty Little Rabbits.

In 1995, Crahan formed a metal band known as the Pale Ones with fellow musician Paul Gray, which featured himself as the band's drummer.

Wanting to expand the band's percussion section, Crahan brought in Joey Jordison to fill in as drummer while Crahan's efforts were focused on percussion.

The lead vocalist, Anders Colsefni, played a second percussion kit, which gave the band a layered, distinctive drum sound.

1996

In 1996, they released a song known as "Slipknot", and through Joey's suggestion, the band changed their name to Slipknot and released their first official album.

This album would later become known to the band as their demo.

Crahan felt that the original vocalist for Slipknot was too guttural, and was the primary reason for Slipknot's inability to get a record deal.

He brought in Corey Taylor from another local band called Stone Sour, whose vocals were more melodic.

1999

Slipknot got a record deal a couple years later and released their first official album in 1999.

Slipknot gained major notability the same year by touring with Ozzfest.

In Slipknot's early years, Crahan brought several dead cow heads on stage.

As well as lending his percussion talents to the band, Crahan has also sung backing vocals on a number of songs Slipknot has both recorded and performed live.

He also wrote the original draft of "Tattered & Torn", which originally appeared on the band's first album, Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. which featured the original singer of Slipknot before Corey Taylor was brought in as a replacement.

A second version of "Tattered & Torn" was released on their self-titled album.

Outside Slipknot, Crahan has founded Big Orange Clown Records, a vanity label within Sanctuary Records, which has so far signed the metalcore band Gizmachi.

2005

He also acted as director for, and assembled Slipknot's 2005 DVD, Voliminal: Inside the Nine, while the band was on hiatus.

He also performed with To My Surprise, recording guitar and vocals for the band's self-titled debut album.

The band received little interest due to their album being released amidst the success of Slipknot members Corey Taylor, Jim Root and Joey Jordison's side projects, Stone Sour and the Murderdolls, respectively.

To My Surprise was later dropped by Roadrunner Records.
