He laughed that he was “OK” but “just hungry” and said that he needed to shave off his long hair.
He told his friends that he is“in good hands”and that he “feels fine right now,”but he is not sure if that will stay the case.
He said that the accident happened while he was working on the farm and starting a fire in a burn pile. The fire then burst.
He told them what was going on while he was in an ambulance being taken to a different hospital with a“better”burn unit.

Slipknot’s 25th Brings Back Classic Look
Slipknotis celebrating its 25thanniversaryby going back to its original look from 1999.
The members of the band have adopted their famous red jumpsuits and added parts of their old masks to their new ones.
Because four new players have joined the band since their first show, percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan said that the naming method on their coveralls would not work anymore.
It used to have a number on the left shoulder, a barcode on the back, a barcode over the heart, and a tribal “S” on the right side.
This time, though, they have added armbands with the number “25” on them to mark the occasion. The pants are made by a new company and are customized to fit you better.
Crahan said that the old coveralls were bought off the shelf and had silk-screened or screen-printed designs added to them. The new ones, on the other hand, are more custom-made.
Crahan also talked about how the band members wanted to show off their masks, and they all agreed to make newversionsthat changed the way they looked before.
He said, “I just did a version of the O.G. look,” and he added that he does not want to live in the past or act like someone he is not.
For each person, the new masks are meant to be a true reflection of their present style and art. It was fake, to begin with, and he said he does not like orange hair anymore.
At this point in his life, he wants to be true to himself. Live Nation is putting on the “Here Comes The Pain” show, which makes stops at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, the Moody Center in Austin, and more.
They get direct help fromKnocked Loose, and on some nights, Orbit Culture and Vended join in.
When Slipknot’s self-titled record came out in 1999, it went double platinum and was hailed byMetal Hammer fansas one of the best starts of the last 25 years.
Interestingly, Slipknot’s first album came out after the privately released “Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.” in 1996, which was made beforeCorey Taylorjoined the band.
The band has changed and grown, and you can see it in their newmasksand suits, which combine their old-school style with newer touches.
In 2011, Metal Hammer fans chose “Slipknot” as the best debut album of the last 25 years. It beat out albums byGuns N’ Roses, Korn, Machine Head, and Pantera.
