Slipknot started in September 1995 with Anders (Colsefni) and Shawn (Crahan).Anders and Shawn hung-out all the time, they would play Werewolf: The Apocalypse (RPG) all the time (where much of the lyrics came from for MFKR).

Anders was helping Shawn with some welding in his garage one winter, and they got talking about putting together a brand new band.
