Slipknot Finally Confirm Identity of “Tortilla Man”
It wasn’t exactly the best-kept secret, but Slipknot have finally officially confirmed the identity of the band member affectionately known as “Tortilla Man.” His name is Michael Pfaff, as most fans had already figured out. Slipknot revealed Pfaff’s identity with an Instagram post today (March 16th) promoting the percussionist’s “Ask Me Anything” session on Reddit.

The first single is called “Keisha.” Watch the video below. “I saw a tweet that said, ‘Black women have never seen healthy love or have been loved in a healthy way,’” Bey said in a statement. “That’s a deep wound for us.
