aggression we create."

Mask: Actually, more than one mask. James was forced into
wearing a stiffling bondage hood when he joined the group to tame him. This same
exact type of hood was worn by the member he replaced, Josh. However when
Slipknot played, sweat would be trapped inside the mask so he made a Jester-
like mask to reflect on his Jester- like personality. It has a zipper for a
mouth and a spike for a chin. It is smelly and disgusting, and he claims that
everyone gets pissed at him because the mask stinks up the whole house.

station. He put the "spikes" through it himself using tape. The
