Ahrue Luster (MH) Recalls Early Slipknot "Something That's Awesome and It's Going To Take Off"

- By Maxime Cherrier

Ahrue Luster joins Joshua Toomey and Ro Kohli of Nu Pod to reflect on his early tour experiences in Machine Head, sharing the stage with Coal Chamber, and a rising Slipknot.

An incident with Coal Chamber and an intrigued young fan collecting a piece of Kabuki, later revealed as Tommy Vext, adds a memorable twist. The Livin' La Vida Loco tour is revisited, emphasizing the explosive impact of Slipknot's performance and the challenge of sharing the stage with their nine members in smaller venues and the logistical complexities of multiple drum sets on stage. As Slipknot's popularity soars, Ahrue candidly acknowledges the genuine and rapid success of the band and outselling everyone on the tour.
