SLIPKNOT KILLED A GUY



We've already reached our cheap-shot limit at HooM! today (thanks Tripp Eisen) and hey this is serious so let's forgo any obvious jokes about lethal Slipknot music. How big of me. From Iowa's Daily Nonpareil:
According to EMS director Rick Benson, after [Slipknot's Council Bluffs, Iowa] concert last night, Cory Nickels, 29, stated he was not feeling well. As rescue personnel assisted him, Nickels suffered cardiac arrest. Benson said CPR was performed and Nickels was transported by ambulance to Jennie Edmundson Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Though the article goes on to imply that the culprit is inherited heart trouble, I know it often feels like my chest is going to explode from crowd-crush, especially at shows with lotsa y'know young people in attendance. A good idea is to rub cocaine all over your sweaty chest during a set break. It kills the pain, chicks think it's sexy, and your heart is too fucking high to stop working. Right?
