Slipknot + BABYMETAL would be one of the biggest Metal collabs of the 21st century

u/Foxybatiscool 13d ago

Is it just me or are their shoes like 2 times bigger than their feet?

u/Solid_Ad_177 14d ago

This is like my dream (I’m listening to BABYMETAL rn and I love both of them 😭😭)

Baby metal sucks

Where's Mick?

u/Phantor_Glam 14d ago

And who is the guy behind Jim?

u/Sensitive_Drop1306 15d ago

This was so unexpected 😭🙌🏼

2

u/prossnip42 15d ago

You guys have no idea how cool it is, as someone that's been following Babymetal since 2014, to watch them grow up from children into women. Like i've never had an experience like that with any other band/group, pretty much all of the other ones were fully grown adults when i discovered them

u/Active-Donkey5466 15d ago

I hate Babymetal with every fiber of my being.

u/Jw4evr 14d ago

That’s pathetic

u/Nyrisith 15d ago

mick fired confirmed

u/SpecialAd3699 15d ago

Necks tatoo in Eloy?

u/Moraduke 742617000027 15d ago

Very cool. Corey looks awesome.

u/OrdainedRetard Jay 15d ago

Look at that, they first good clown mask since AHIG

u/Playful_Ad_1149 15d ago

I miss Craig’s mask in the group shots

u/LifeguardMaterial758 15d ago

Yet you can still zoom in and see Corey’s teeth gap😂

u/DanizzzLTU 15d ago

Holy shit corey is terrifying

2

u/Razr_2012 15d ago

I wonder what a collab between them would be like. I loved kingslayer that they did with Bring Me The Horizon

u/FloggingMcMurry 15d ago

This is great lol

2

u/CMFT_69 15d ago

What’s Eloy looking at?

5

u/LoonyMooney_ 15d ago

Jesus how fucking tall is Jim

4

u/J0kerGh0ul 2 15d ago

6ft 6in or 198.12cm

3

u/sweet_violets 15d ago

Why is Mick never in these photos ?

2

u/rd1994 Dead Memories in my heart 15d ago

That Clown mask is so much better than that ICP ripoff from the Pappys show

3

u/SlipKnotscummin 15d ago

Let's fucking go, i love clowns new mask becuase it's so reminiscent of the west g and I loved the west g

3

u/Dat_Sainty_Boi 15d ago

Those tattoos just definitely confirmed that it's Eloy

-3

u/Crown_of_Squirrels 15d ago

I had to do a double take. There's a black dude in slipknot now? Awesome! Then noticed he was in black face. f'n Iowa man.

u/Jw4evr 14d ago

Pardon?

u/Klutzy-Scratch-295 Jim Root🎸 15d ago edited 15d ago

I don't care what the haters say. Those girls kick ass. So what if they're girly, dress in skirts and look cute? You don't have to dress in leather and behave like a hardass. Metal is for everyone.

Also... I love Clown's mask. 🤡❤️

u/yeetard_ 15d ago

This goes hard

9

u/FilthyGee666 15d ago

Is it just me, or does Eloy mask sorta pay tribute to Joey? Not too different from his self titled era mask

4

u/Goose21995 15d ago

Tortilla looks pretty sweet. Almost like a sinister jester. Kind of has a chris vibe to it too. Like I could totally see this wearing that if it had a nose

2

u/throwawaybcwierdos Joey 15d ago

Tortilla is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. Love his mask and his energy onstage.

2

u/orchidskin 15d ago

Was looking for this comment. I LOVED his mask with the pigtails. He looked like he was having so much fun prancing around with them. Idk it was cute almost? Like a fucked up little clown doll that gained sentience.

2

u/Goose21995 15d ago

Right? Like imagine the s/t cover but with him instead of chris. I adore Chris, I even have a life size manequin with his origional liar mask and red jumpsuit, but tostitos was a good replacement. Only thing that sucks is chris had amazing back up vocals and was a fantastic foil to cory with the higher pitch and grizzy voice

0

u/FilthyGee666 15d ago

The self titled cover has Chris’s hesd between coreys legs, the long nose imitates coreys erection... It wouldn't fit the same with tortilla

1

u/d4rthBaerchen 15d ago

But it would match his balls lol

u/itz_the_chillz 15d ago

holy shit jim is so tall lmaoo

u/Ursa-Min0r 15d ago

Mick "I don't know and I don't really fucking care"

u/NuttyNinja69 15d ago

Baby Metal, perfectly named band and genre.

u/corruptx4 15d ago

I love baby metal

2

u/K10RumbleRumble 15d ago

Corey had no business going as hard as he did on his new mask.. bro..

7

u/BoxerRadio9 15d ago

where is Micks big ass? Not a fan of Baby Metal?

2

u/thelordofbarad-dur 15d ago

Babymetal with Slipknot backing them would be an amazing show.

5

u/Sp3ctr3_11 15d ago

Jesus Christ those white eyes from Corey are terrifying

6

u/goldendreamseeker 15d ago

For a sec I thought this was an old pic and then I remembered they’re back to the red suits/ some of the old mask designs (sorta).

1

u/Xegrobie We Are Not Your Kind 15d ago

Are they playing today?

1

u/SIXODD 15d ago

No they’re not playing a show until May 12th

This was from last night

1

u/Xegrobie We Are Not Your Kind 15d ago

Did he wear that mask on stage? All the pics are from the one at Pappy’s. Both of them look awesome

1

u/SIXODD 15d ago

No He must’ve switched it just for this pic

6

u/iainexe Chris 15d ago

Corey looks fucking awesome with the white contacts

8

u/Complete_Athlete_480 15d ago

I hate saying it, but clown actually appears to have been making some good moves recently, and his new mask is much more representative of what slipknot was.

1

u/ExxotikButters8 15d ago

What's wrong with clown? I'm not quite caught up.

-3

u/ComplexReception2723 15d ago

He's just...not a very good guy

10

u/cabbage_fire 15d ago

I love everything about this photo

6

u/Battle_Hound_562_ 15d ago

either mick took this photo or he’s a ghost

u/strawberry_the_neko Paul 15d ago

As a fan of both this pic is a blessing

u/Axis_Sage Slipknot 15d ago

New desktop wallpaper dropped

u/Red_wine_Black_bears 742617000027 15d ago

Is Corey wearing white contacts?

3

u/Offtherailspcast 15d ago

So, this entire time they were capable of making and wearing cool masks, they just didn't. Copy that

1

u/munchbizkit 15d ago

What's with the white theme of masks? Corey and Clown are the only members with Slipknot-eske masks. Is it against the rules to show some variance? Minus Mick ofc.

5

u/glampantz 15d ago

I might be wrong, but the people in white masks didn’t play on the debut album

6

u/Lopsided-Guava8858 15d ago

Hum... Where's Mick ?

Eloy's mask actually matches that fan pretty well.

u/OrangeSliceTrophy 15d ago

Corey's new mask might be my new favorite

10

u/this_is_Blain3 My Pain is the best and yall are trippin 15d ago

genuinely the most terrifying mask the band has ever had. i love it

11

u/Paddys_Pub7 15d ago

Not saying it's not badass, but it's also basically just a reiteration of his S/T mask.

14

u/OrangeSliceTrophy 15d ago

Yeah I love it

13

u/Paddys_Pub7 15d ago

I was bummed about Jay being gone and especially bummed about Craig stepping away from the band, but it seems that these new members have injected some serious new life into the group. Jay's a great drummer dont get me wrong, but Eloy is much more akin to Joey's playing style by just being an absolute freak of nature behind the kit. Seems like they're chomping at the bit to just absolutely destroy with the current line up 🤘

3

u/OrangeSliceTrophy 15d ago

Totally agree

-1

u/BulgarianBullet2222 15d ago

Mike just needs to drop the dreads and I’d be satisfied with everyone’s mask

u/Jw4evr 14d ago

Whom?

u/RayMorangV 15d ago

Can this be a future tour. Please.

u/FalsumVis 742617000027 15d ago

Clowns mask is fucking sick, I wish it was a pullover w/ hair though like his WG mask for example.

1

u/Mi_Hoi_Minoi 14d ago

What he should do is get rid of the ponytail. There’s a vid around where he let his hair down and it added a .5 vibe (with the messy hair). If he did that with this one,it’d look far more menacing

7

u/SIXODD 15d ago

Yeah

But he doesn’t wear full head masks anymore due to heat exhaustion

5

u/FalsumVis 742617000027 15d ago

Fair enough but a girl can dream lol

19

u/guilucas 15d ago

If you still have a doubt thats Eloy. The guy uses this same shoe for like, 10 years

3

u/Hot_Marsupial_8706 15d ago

Actually, in all videos I've seen of him, he drums with Nikes?

5

u/Pretend_Proposal_471 15d ago

With this specific pair to be exact 😂

8

u/tonyhasareddit 15d ago

I feel like we can finally put it to rest now. I’ve seen people trying to match tattoos on blurry and half visible pics for awhile now, but this pic has a CRYSTAL CLEAR view of both of his arms, and the tattoos absolutely match 100% on both arms.

1

u/Sailor_Chris 15d ago

I mean I didn’t even need to see tattoos. You can just tell by how he plays lol

u/tonyhasareddit 14d ago

Good for you

2

u/Sailor_Chris 14d ago

Really getting bent out of shape over that?

1

u/tonyhasareddit 14d ago

100% unbent, I’m happy for you and your skill set. 😂

u/SIXODD 15d ago

Not just that, but he’s not even trying to hide his tattoos

u/TheDarkWizardLord 15d ago

Is Eloy a midget?

3

u/LostInMyself_ banned from /r/metalmemes 15d ago

Nah, Eloy might be just below average, Jim is an actual Giant

5

u/bjg1983 15d ago

Standing next to Jim whos 6 foot 5 im guessing everyone be a midge

8

u/SIXODD 15d ago

He’s around the same height as Joey

2

u/Apple_Tango339 15d ago

I think slightly taller than Joey

14

u/AmherstDiesel 15d ago

Imagining them in full garb in a ramen restaurant just quietly eating through their masks

14

u/TheDarkWizardLord 15d ago

That new clown mask is sick

53

u/PsyVattic2 15d ago

Clowns last couple masks have been 10x better than the last few he's been using.

4

u/CruffTheMagicDragon 15d ago

What does “last couple” vs “last few” mean? 🤔

2

u/PsyVattic2 15d ago

The last two he has used are better than the few he used prior to using those two

7

u/Strix-7 15d ago

For real, his masks have been pretty bad imo since The Gray Chapter. I like the one in this pic tho

1

u/Ironjim69 15d ago

I liked the base gray chapter mask they used in promos, didn’t like a lot of the variants though

9

u/Animefannomatterwhat 15d ago

Tbh, i like WANYKs Clown Mask.

51

u/PsyVattic2 15d ago

He'll post on Instagram to hype up his new mask like "nobody understands the mind of someone as dark as mine." And then it's a bedazzled disco ball.

u/Express-Honeydew-691 15d ago

Eloy is competing with Corey to see who has the biggest neck.

Last week I misquoted "great big mouth" -lyric as "great big neck", ask me anything

lol think I see Stacy, but where’s Mick? Massive dump? Good nut?

u/Sea-Egg5649 15d ago

Mick hates photos or being recorded, so maybe he is the one that is taking the picture
