History
Slick Idiot was formed by former KMFDM members Günter Schulz and En Esch , following the 1999 breakup of KMFDM. Before taking on the name Slick Idiot, En Esch and Günter Schulz contributed a cover of Nine Inch Nails ' "Terrible Lie" to Cleopatra Records ' Covered In Nails 2: A Tribute To Nine Inch Nails . After releasing DickNity for purchase online, Slick Idiot, with core live members Mel Fuher & drummer/programmer Michael J. Carrasquillo , embarked on the "High Life for Low Lives" US Tour in 2002. Cleopatra Records then re-released DickNity with a bonus remix by Christoph Schneider of Rammstein . In late 2003, Esch and Schulz joined as members of Pigface for the "United II" tour. In October 2004 Screwtinized was released online via their website and garnered rave reviews.
