Josh Brainard

Also known as Gnar from him having a nervous habit of gnawing on his knuckles,Josh was the original rhythm guitarist of slipknot and helped write Mate Feed Kill Repeat. He used either a Jackson or Ibanez guitar, and wore an executioner mask where he cut out a place for his mouth, which later resembled Jim root’s, and he wore that on the cover of the self titled album, but later replaced it with the jester mask because of sweat getting in his ears, if you watch Corey’s first show with slipknot Gnar says something into the mic but you cannot understand. He recorded most songs on the self titled album except purity and me inside because he left around Christmas time due to personal reasons. He used a Jackson guitar. His bands in order are
VeXX 1989-1991
Inveigh catharsis 1991-1993
