Who were the original members of Slipknot?

The majority of the current Slipknot line-up were not original members – in fact, only Shawn Crahan remains from the early days. Formed in Iowa in 1995, Slipknot featured Anders Colsefni on vocals, Donnie Steel and Josh Brainard on guitar, Joey Jordison on drums, Clown on percussion and Paul Gray on bass. Mick and Craig joined a year later, Corey joined in 1997, Sid and Chris joined in 1998 and Jim Root completed the classic lineup in 1999.
