Name:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Craig Jones
Nickname:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>133Mhz \u2013 he gave himself this nickname because at the time 133mhz was the fastest computer\u00a0at the time.
Born:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Des Moines, IOWA \u2013 February 11th 1972
Instrument:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Sampler\/keyboards (Joined slipknot as Guitarist)
Mask:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>His mask initially when he joined as guitarist was pantyhose over the head and he wore a SPAM t-shirt to every gig,then when he was switched to sampling he changed it to a spaceman helmet with a Sinclair bumper sticker and later he added an oxygen\/chemical aviation respirator mask to it. Eventually He painted it black, put nails through it and attached a strobelight to the top (strobelight was removed after Ozzfest 1999). This mask represents pain. Craig is known to have worn a white hairless clown mask on stage back in the Safari Club days for at least one gig, a gig which he played guitar on the ending track \u2018Killers are Quiet\u2019. Apparently he also used a wolf mask while in the studio though it was most likely just to hide his face for that one photo.<\/p>\n

Back in the MFKR days, 133MHz used to open Slipknot shows with all sorts of weird and crazy sampled intros ranging from bits from \u2018The Grinch\u2019, to \u2018Sesame Street\u2019 to Dixieland jazz.<\/p>\n

Bands:<\/strong>
Played guitar in thrash metal bands before Slipknot.
Josh\/Joey\/Craig \u2013 Modifidious: In this band he played guitar
1996 \u2013 CURRENT: Slipknot<\/p>\n

Craig didn\u2019t record MFKR, although his pic is in the inside sleeve of the album. The samples were put together by Anders and producer Sean Mcmahon after MFKR was recorded. Not many people know this but Craig actually joined the band as a guitarist to take over Donnie Steele\u2019s position. Slipknot then decided to bring in Mick Thomson from Bodypit so Craig could work on his samples and keyboarding.His sampling was integrated into the mfkr songs for example the song Gently started off with a sample from the movie \u201cFalling down\u201d featuring the conversation between \u201cd-fens\u201d and the army surplus Nazi. Craig\u2019s main hobbies include computers and more computers \u2013 he also used to run the slipknot1 website in the early years.
\u201cVery quiet, the epitome of Killers Are Quiet. I remember him going with me and some others to the 1988 And Justice for All \u2013 Metallica\/The Cult concert. My car\u2019s radiator blew on the way home.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>\u2013 Anders Colsefni<\/p>\n
