In a brand new interview with RollingStone.com, SLIPKNOT percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan was asked about his recent comment that he could see the band going forward with a whole new lineup.
"What I've been saying is that only my mind — this is all from me, this isn't from anybody else — I look at it as I'm not going to be able to do this forever," he explained. "I'm 45 years old. Hopefully I can do it until I can't walk. Sometimes I think to myself, because I have new guys and they're so young; the drummer [Jay Weinberg], I could be his dad. He's 24 years old and my daughter is 24 years old. So I look at him and think, 'Fuck, man, I could pound him into shape for the next 20 years and he'd still be fucking young.' And if I wanted to continue to do other things, I could step aside. And what better way to have the young'uns come in and learn the way? And what if SLIPKNOT could be this recycled thought process that is completely on point and just keeps going for life? That would have to be up to all of us, of course, but if people had to step aside and could bust in someone new and it was all there, that would be this band. This band could be something that's never been in this life before."
