Jazz probablyisn’t the first genre that comes to mind when we think of Slipknot, but one night during Slipknot’sEuropean tour, Sid Wilsondecided to hit up a jazz bar. He allegedly spent around 6 hours at the venue and played a few tunes himself (footage we would love to get our hands on!), then giving the pianist a giant tip!
“Sid was a real gentleman and couldn’t have been further removed from his SLIPKNOT persona. He was very appreciative of my performance and even asked me to play my choice of sentimental song as an encore. I thought a Joe Cocker song was the perfect choice, given his recent passing, and Sid listened intently throughout.
"It’s fair to say I was presented with the biggest tip I’ve ever had in my career and it couldn’t have come from a more unlikely candidate!”
