Slipknot

 The pics above are Gif's. That means they like move or something. Each one is a different member of Slipknot. The first is 0 and the last is 8. (They go in numeric order from 0-8). So you can look at the pics above and then look at the bottom where it tells you each member's name and the instrument that they play.

The following from VH1.com:

 This highly provocative, Des Moines, Iowa, USA-based alternative metal outfit, whose shock rock values are masked by their anonymous stage wear of matching jump suits and horror masks, was founded by Shawn Crahan (percussion) and Paul Grey (bass).

  The early line-up of Slipknot released the independently recorded and distributed Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat in 1996. Although the band was struggling to make ends meet, their big break arrived when they were signed to leading metal label Roadrunner Records. The band, comprising nine members, subsequently adopted a lucky number to wear on their jump suits. Alongside Crahan (number 6) and Grey (number 2), was number 8 Corey Taylor (vocals), number 7 Mick Thompson (guitar), number 5 Craig Jones (samples), number 4 James Root (guitar), number 3 Chris Fehn (percussion), number 1 Joey Jordison (drums), and number 0 Sid Wilson (DJ). They recorded their self-titled second album at Indigo Ranch Studios in Los Angeles, California. The production work of Ross Robinson was a marked improvement on their messy debut, but failed to disguise the sub- Korn metal of tracks such as "Eyeless" and "Wait And Bleed".

The following from rollingstone.com:

The nine-member hard-core metal outfit Slipknot formed in the self-proclaimed "middle of nowhere"-- Des Moines, Iowa -- in 1995. Asserting that they are "not about our names or our faces,"members DJ Sid Wilson, drummer Joey Jordison, bassist Paul Gray, percussionist Chris Fehn, guitarist Jim Root, sampler Craig Jones, percussionist Shawn Crahan, guitarist Mic Thompson and vocalist Corey Taylor have taken numbers 0-8 as stage names and don bizarre homemade masks during their shows.

Slipknot self-released a CD in 1996, Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat, before signing with Ross Robinson's I Am Records, an imprint of Roadrunner. Their label debut, Slipknot, was released in 1999 with their latest, Iowa, following two years later.
