AOL Music has recently conducted indepth interview with Slipknot Clown (M. Shawn Crahan) about upcoming DVD "Voliminal: Inside the Nine" due on December 5 via Roadrunner. Few excerpts are follow:

"I had to go through 300 videotapes. I saw a lot of me, and I'll tell you I didn't like what I saw," Clown told AOL Music . "It's going to end up changing my life."

This revelation, Crahan said, came about by revisiting internal arguments captured on film. As a result, he says he's found himself re-energized about being in the band.

"I've had a lot of learning," he noted. "I've always felt [that] for me to continue in SLIPKNOT there needs to be something that truly excites me. I want the change to be in me. I think I've always expected everybody else to change — you do this to make me happy — and now I'm starting to look around at my world and take my personal inventory."

The special double-disc package takes the viewer on a several-hour journey into the world of SLIPKNOT as the band recently circled the globe in support of the multi-platinum album "Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)" . Far from your usual tour film, "Voliminal: Inside the Nine" is more of an art piece — while fans are taken in the studio, on stage, backstage, on their tour bus and everywhere in between as they experience the energy of a band literally living, breathing and fighting for the music they created, none of it unfolds in ways you'd expect.
