But in a very short time, Slipknot would do the unthinkable. In a strange and unexplained move, Slipknot began denying and discrediting their hometown music scene, at a time where the scene needed "The Knot" the most. These actions, amongst other truly shocking revelations revealed in A Clown Short of Destiny about Slipknot's hidden past, left friends and fellow bands confused, shocked and appalled by what they witnessed.

Left without a voice to respond to Slipknots actions and lies, the Des Moines, Iowa local music scene, in less than two years, now went from being one of the most promising young music scenes in the country, to a mere shadow of what once existed. Was this Slipknot's fault? If one platinum band can support their scene and help to create such musical movements like Seattle, WA or Athens, GA, can the most powerful, successful and popular metal band in the world shut down and kill the buzz and excitement surrounding their hometown Des Moines, IA local music scene? A Clown Short of Destiny presents you with over decade's worth of documented history inside the lives of the countless bands that made up one of the most exciting young music scenes ever birthed. Observe their interviews, listen to their comments, witness the incredible footage taken from a decade's worth of astonishing live performances, and watch this amazing story for yourself. And then you can decide whether or not the birth of Slipknot, the greatest metal band to ever live, caused the death of its own Des Moines, IA hometown music scene - a scene which was once revered by many bands, fans and music industry professionals alike, as one of the greatest local music scenes, in the most unlikely of all places...to ever form.
