“Scissors” is a track off the masked metallers’ 1999 self-titled debut album, which just celebrated its 21st anniversary late last month.
“I love [‘Scissors’] because every time we would play it, the whole second half was improvised,” Taylor writes in a piece for Knotfest.com. “We played at each other, free form, free prose, everything. It was violent and gorgeous.”
“Nothing will ever replace it for me,” he continues. “When we stopped playing it live, I had a hard time enjoying our sets for a very long time.”
Slipknot released their latest album, We Are Not Your Kind, last August. Taylor and company supposed to spend this summer on the road supporting the record, but all those plans were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
