===Behind the Masked?===
The band's image has started controversy over the years. A portion of the controversy comes from the band [[Mushroomhead]], who, along with their fans, claim that Slipknot stole their image. In 2005, another source of controversy was the band's lawsuit against Burger King, claiming that company created the advertising based band Coq Roq to capitalize on Slipknot's image.The band's lawyer claimed that Burger King had contacted the band's label to get Slipknot to take part in an "advertising campaign designed to motivate young people to vote". Burger King responded to the suit with a countersuit, and in that suit pointed out that many other bands, such as [[Mushroomhead]], [[Mudvayne]], Kiss, Insane Clown Posse and [[Gwar]] have used masks as part of their image, although after private discussions the advertising campaign was dropped.
