The mystery percussionist, known as Tortilla Man for Slipknot is wearing a scar on his face – due to his stage performance that got out of hand. Frontman Corey Taylor commented and said, “You have to be careful of the new guy – new guy gets crazy. The new guy almost got docked some money because he almost broke Jay Weinberg‘s drums the other night.”
Taylor wasn’t complaining, he went on to say, “Honestly, that energy is dope; it’s really, really good. He’s so into it and that it reminds me to be into it.”
According to Taylor, Tortilla Man has a giant scar right in the middle of his forehead now because he smashed his head into the drums and cut it open. He was bleeding during the show, so he had to pull the mask off during the show. He laughed when he described the scar and said, “It looks like a coin slot.”
Slipknot continues their tour with a stop in Dortmund, Germany tonight (2-18.)
