And while the good news is rolling, there are two more certifications to tell - Slipknot's self-titled debut has now gone 2x platinum, and the Disasterpieces DVD 3x platinum. Congratulations to the band, and a huge thanks to all the fans. "The last six years have taken ten years off of all of our lives, but receiving these awards and feeling the response all over the world has made all of it, every sacrifice, worthwhile," told vocalist Corey Taylor during his spirited plaque-acceptance speech backstage at the band's Continental Airlines Arena show on March 6th. He concluded with a smile, "This is the ultimate middle-finger to every one of my high school teachers," as he went on his way to take the stage.
