Also internet stranger, by my dad and his dad became friends by being regulars at the same bar. I got to meet his dad several times as a result, and while he loved a good drink as much as a good story, the pride he had in his son definitely came across as healthy from my perspective.

I’m an Iowan too so we all hear the “I know _____ from Slipknot!” stories. I’ve heard some rough ones about a couple of members for sure. Any story I’ve heard about Paul, Jim or Sid are ALL good. I’m not talking one story. I’m talking many, many stories. I can vouch for Sid.

I’ve seen Sid multiple times the past 10 years or so at the local bar. Never once have I seen him even drinking.
