EspañolANDERS COLSEFINI
'Anders Colsefni', real name 'Andrew Rouw',(born 1972) is an American musician and singer. He was the original lead vocalist and co-founder of the nu metal group Slipknot. He was replaced by Corey Taylor after their self-released debut ''Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat''. Before Slipknot he was in 2 other bands. One being VeXX, and the other being Inveigh Catharsis. Then Anders formed Painface. After the demise of Painface he was in the band during ''On A Pale Horse'' with former bandmate Josh Brainard. Despite leaving Slipknot, he has a very close friendship with DJ Sid Wilson.
After ''MFKR'', Slipknot believed that, in order to find a major label, they needed a more radio friendly voice (they said Anders's grunts were like Max Cavalera's), so they found Corey Taylor. The band still wanted Anders to perform backing vocals and percussion, but got tired of the idea and he quit publicly before Slipknot was signed to Roadrunner Records.
Anders was in a band named Vice Grip Throttle from 2004 to 2007, and they already recorded their eponymous first album. Once they had run an Internet contest to determine a new name for the band. Visitors of their homepage submitted a band name that ''they'' came up with, and the band should use that name. The prize for the winner of the contest was a bundle of things (See website for more information). But instead of using that name, "Vice Grip Throttle" decided to stick with their temporary name, despite the "Rename VGT" contest, saying that "It just makes too much sense, considering our style and personalities."
Vice Grip Throttle has supposedly broken up as of July 18th, 2007; however, Anders has stated that he does not know if the remaining members will continue VGT.
In place of wearing a mask like most Slipknot members, Anders wore electrical tape on his face, paint on his flesh, and a fur skin skirt. The tape was inspired from Dogfish Rising, where Shawn rips tape to make a special noise. The get-up was only worn on special occasions.
This is a list of bands he has ever been in. All as the lead vocalist.
