Watch out For That Drumset, #6!

Oo that hurts!

Truly, I wish I made this up...I recieved this from a friend, I'm not sure where he got it from, but I give you my word that this isn't fabricated. I was rolling when I read this bullshit.

Slipknot member #6 (otherwise known as Shawn Crahan) split his head open for the second time this summer during the band's Ozzfest performance in Seattle on Sunday. As the show unfolded at The Gorge, the drummer (one of three percussionists the band employs) one again knocked his head against his drumkit, not surprising considering that the band consists of nine men in rubber masks who flail wildly around the stage during performances.

The percussionist, who wound up with a gash that extended from the bridge of his nose up along his forehead, managed to finish his band's set before being taken to a local hospital. Crahan, who also received a mild concussion, took home 17 stitches as a reminder of his time in Seattle.

As we first reported in June, the drummer received a handful of stitches after smashing his head into his drumkit during a performance in Holmdel, New Jersey (see "Slipknot Drummer Carries On Despite Head Wound"). Crahan managed to finish the band's set that day and even sign autographs before heading to a hospital to receive stitches for the wound.

Now there's dedication.
