簡介
:這是一個老樂隊——瘋狂小丑波塞確實是很老的小丑,是在Woodstock99上看見他們的。然後看著他們一直瘋狂下去。
Insane Clown Posse的風格是說唱金屬。先說明一下,說唱金屬不是新金屬,只是很多新金屬樂隊把說唱融入音樂當中才使很多人把兩者混淆,而Insane Clown Posse不屬於新金屬。
但是,他們不認為自己屬於說唱,而是把自己歸類為juggalo。
Juggalo,本意是小丑的一種耍球雜耍,小丑們,可以輕輕鬆鬆地同時拋3個球,然後笑得滑稽而諷刺。
另類的樂隊,另類的音樂,另類的曲風,另類的歌詞,另類的表演,還有另類的愛好——喜歡摔跤運動。
一款名叫《後院摔跤》的遊戲裡面,就用了他們的歌。
他們的一首Fuck The World很特別。Hip-hop加上憤怒的金屬感,是很有意思的一首歌。

樂隊介紹:
Insane Clown Posse is a cartoonish metal/rap band with a vaunted live show that features open fires, chainsaws, liters of soda dousing the audience (Faygo being the group's favorite brand), and more emphasis on performance art than the performance of music. In the world of the late '90s, that was more than enough to get them a recording contract with a major label, though the release of their 1997 album The Great Milenko came with a bit of controversy.
Now just a duo, ICP was originally formed in 1989 as a hardcore Detroit rap group called Inner City Posse. After combusting in 1991, the only members left, Violent J. and Shaggy 2 Dope, slightly altered the name to reflect the fact that they had been visited by the Carnival Spirit, which ordered them to carry word of the impending apocalypse by touring the nation and releasing six Joker Cards (popularly known as LPs) with successive revelations of the final judgment. The first, Carnival of Carnage, appeared in 1992 on their own Psychopathic Records label. The group became notorious in Detroit's underground scene, but several tours around the region failed to ignite much more than the rage of area leaders.
After the release of 1994's The Ringmaster, ICP began to get a bit of attention as a possible follower of cartoon metal bands like GWAR, Green Jelly and White Zombie. Jive Records signed the group and released The Riddle Box in 1995, but the record bombed and ICP returned to the ranks of the indies. Just one year later, Hollywood Records gambled on the band and spent more than $1 million while ICP recorded their new album, The Great Milenko. On the day of release in 1997, however, Hollywood pulled the record, citing obscene lyrics and gruesome content — possibly a move by its owner, Disney, to deflect criticism of its practices by the Southern Baptist Federation. In a bizarre twist, yet another major label, Island Records, stepped in to release the album and capitalize on the notoriety Insane Clown Posse had garnered. The Amazing Jeckel Brothers followed in 1999.
