Editing Slipknot (album) (section)

==Controversy==
After the album's release, the band had to remove two tracks after allegations of [[copyright infringement]]. "[[Purity (Slipknot song)|Purity]]" and "[[Frail Limb Nursery]]" were inspired by a story, published online, about a girl named Purity Knight, who was kidnapped and buried alive.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.opiumofthepeople.net/ootp/music/purity|title=Purity|website=OpiumofthePeople.net|access-date=July 11, 2017|archive-date=August 12, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170812140921/http://www.opiumofthepeople.net/ootp/music/purity|url-status=dead}}</ref> The website, called ''[[Crime Scene (website)|Crime Scene]]'', presents fictional stories as real life crime cases.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.crimescene.com/faq|title=Crime Scene FAQ|website=Crime Scene|access-date=August 11, 2017|archive-date=August 12, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170812145918/https://www.crimescene.com/faq|url-status=dead}}</ref> Originally, the website included no disclaimer saying that it was a work of fiction. Many readers believed the story to be true, including [[Corey Taylor]]: "I still think the story's real. It fucked our whole world up when we read it. Can you imagine a girl being buried in a box and have all this lecherous bullshit drip down on her from this guy? It just hurts your head."{{sfn|Arnopp|2001|p={{page needed|date=November 2021}}}}

'Purity', said Taylor, "was originally called 'Despise' but it didn't work when we tried to put it together… Ross ''[Robinson]'' took it and helped us restructure it."<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Tom|last=Bryant|title=Hell unleashed|magazine=[[Kerrang!]] #1423|date=July 14, 2012|page=24}}</ref> In a Q&A, Taylor claimed the lyrics had been written five years prior to the song's release, that only the name had been inspired by the Purity Knight story and that inspiration came from films such as ''[[Boxing Helena]]'' and ''[[The Collector (1965 film)|The Collector]]'', and not the story.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjMPzHRbjUg | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211118/jjMPzHRbjUg| archive-date=2021-11-18 | url-status=live|title=Corey Taylor Speaks About Purity – YouTube |date=November 23, 2011 |website=[[YouTube]] |access-date=July 4, 2013}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

However, Slipknot, to prevent the entire album being pulled, removed "Purity" and "Frail Limb Nursery". Slightly [[Audio mastering|remastered]]{{citation needed|date=June 2021}} standard and [[digipak]] versions of the album were issued in December 1999, replacing both tracks with "Me Inside".{{sfn|Arnopp|2001|pp=159–161}}<ref>{{cite journal |date=November 2001 |title=Wrecking Crew |journal=Guitar}}</ref> Although "Frail Limb Nursery" was never rereleased, "Purity" was included on the DVD ''[[Disasterpieces]]'', the live ''[[9.0: Live]],'' the 'best of' ''[[Antennas to Hell]]'', and the 10th anniversary edition of ''Slipknot''.<ref name="Disasterpieces" />
