Chris Fehn Verifies Slipknot Items on 'Pawn Stars'

Former Slipknot percussionist Chris Fehn recently appeared in an episode of the History Channel's Pawn Stars to verify the authenticity of several pieces of band memorabilia.

A seller named Spencer brought in three items: a signed guitar, a drumhead, and a signature "Liar Mask". Spencer claimed the items were acquired from a local radio DJ in Iowa around 1999, coinciding with the release of the band's self-titled debut album. He sought a total of $35,000 for the collection, asking $20,000 for the guitar and drumhead and $15,000 for the mask.

Due to the ease of replicating band masks, host Chumlee called in Chris Fehn to provide an expert opinion. Upon inspection, Fehn confirmed that the signatures on the guitar and drumhead were genuine, noting that the markings matched a specific signing event the band held at Southridge Mall early in their career.

Regarding the mask, Fehn verified that it was indeed an original piece created specifically for him. However, he revealed a surprising detail: the mask had never been worn during a live performance. Fehn explained that the mask was "too nice" to have survived the rigors of a show and noted that it simply did not fit him correctly.

While the items were confirmed as authentic pieces of rock history, the fact that they were not "stage-worn" lowered their market value in the eyes of the shop. Chumlee offered $3,000 for the autographed guitar and drumhead and $1,200 for the mask. Feeling the offer was too low for such iconic items, Spencer politely declined and left with his collection.
