I think the better question is, “Slipknot, are you ok?”
Short answer: no.
What news the last year hit you the hardest?
@@LoudwireMusic Jay randomly getting fired. But it’s sadly the same story: it’s the Clown and Corey show. They’ve fallen off so badly
@@LoudwireMusicthe band is dead bruh
Short answer: yes
@@sweetrocks610man just dig a bit more into the story, it seems that Jay was a "nepo baby", his literal drum technician said that they had to secretly use triggers because Jay couldnt play live. He rushed the songs and struggled a lot. And Jim said that he was hard to work with
Ever since Joey died I'm no ok
you could allus throw stuff at yer neighbour's window or take pictures of uranus or your neighbor throwing things....
Same here man. Same here. He had material for Slipknot that never got used and now I guess it never will see the light of day sadly
@@Thomas-gq3oc
Ever since Paul died it hadn't been the same
Same 😩 the band was never the same for me after that
as a person that has loved slipknot for almost 10 years now, (yes i listened to them when i was like 6) seeing the band in this state hurts tbh. seeing a ton of people departing from the band like craig, jay, and chris, it just sucks like hell because slipknot is starting to become a business model. if this keeps happening were probably not gonna have ANY of the original bandmates besides clown and corey. tbh its almost like they are narcissistic man, this just sucks. i hope the band gets their shit together soon before it gets real bad. and i hope this whole joey thing isn't true cause that'll just make me lose all of my respect for corey and clown.
Man just dig under what Randoms say. Joey was kicked out of the band because he was an addict. This is said by his own band members in the memorial post. Craig left by his own will due to personal issues and Chris was literally a drug addict this said by shawns daughter. Jay was confirmed by all of his ex band mates to be a nepo baby super entitled and Jim said he is hard to work with. Clown and corey aren't evil they just do what has to be done
@@maximilianoalexander9924nope you’re putting it in the bands perspective and not the peoples perspective the way we view it Corey and clown are greedy fuckheads who like money
What are the conspiracy theories about Corey and Shawn again? I need to know what not to believe, since everything said about them so far has had no real evidence behind it. Also, bands like Slipknot kinda half to become a business to survive under the capitalist economic system we have in America. Why do you think most bands sell some kind of merch?
@@maximilianoalexander9924 i didnt even know any of that, thx for the info. makes more sense now
Dad got me into them when I was 6 too but ThT means I've got 4 more years on you buddy 😎
Good question: I haven't paid too much attention for the whole side but I'm aware of what has happened. I acknowledged that Craig left the band, Jay left the band, the whole lawsuit (I'm not sure what happened), saw a meme about how Corey and Clown take leadership of the band, and etc.
Honestly, I'd rather not get into the drama side and instead listen to the music because that's what being a fan is. It's listening to the product and not worrying about people's personal lives. Believe me there are some fanatics out there and they will try to shout into the chamber, but they are coping so hard.
Jay didn't leave. He got fired, just like Joey and Chris.
"I'm not ok" - My Chemical Romance.
Neither are we
Its crazy how they talked about Joey when he passed away, knowing they had plenty of time to appreciate him when he's still alive.
The way they kicked Joey in slipknot still hurt the most.
But still hope whats for the best for the rest members of the band. Specially Jim and Sid.
Slipknot will never be the same without Paul, Joey, Chris and Craig.
And what was it that Slipknot was saying about joey? I ask this encouraging you to really think about what you have heard and where you have heard it. I think you'll be rather encouraged by the fact, most of what people think slipknot has said, is actually rumors started by "fans". Cause the record show that slipknow is rather famously silent about all these departures.
I am still so mad at them for what they did to Joey!!
what about mick? he's pretty chill as well.
i started getting into slipknot about 6 months ago, and right now it's my favorite band. i feel like i chose the worst time to become a maggot lmao.
I'm about 3 years as I've been into Korn forever so definitely late. It'd probably be better if somehow it was 1994 and all you cared about was a cassette and seeing them live and would not be aware of so much behind the scenes controversy
@@djdannycosmoyeah man, it breaks my heart to see all the stuff that's been going on with the band, but i try not to get affected by it. i feel like i can't even keep up with all that's been happening. i just try to focus on the music and hopefully see them live one day.
@sundaybroadcast they suck now. Honestly idk how anyone likes them still. I saw them live at ozzfest in 04 and liked them back in 99 but they really dropped off.
@@pat2430 i know they kinda suck now, but for people like me who were born in the mid 2000's this is all we've got lol
Never a bad time to be a maggot.. you just might not have many opportunities to see them live in the future.. let’s hope that’s not the case.
It just doesn’t seem like the brotherhood we knew before
Maybe...of all bands who have been putting out jamz over multiple albums over decades, one thing is sure...Slipknot never disappoints.
They have managed to evolve without sucking.
Self titled and iowa were the best. The mfkr era with Andy on vocals was solid too
Hands down, yeah.
💯💯💯
Mfkr is incredible. Top 3 best Slipknot albums
imma just give some credit to Vol. 3 and AHiG as well. the last albums with the Nine.
Jay getting kicked out is absolutely ridiculous.
It seems it's not. All the bands Jay had worked with said that he was a total nepo baby and had an awful personality being so entitled with everything. Also Jay's ex drum technician said that he couldn't play live bass drums and that they secretly triggered them for him. Jim said that it was very hard to work with him too so
Ironic isn’t it, how all these bands he worked with had a lot to say about Jay on how much of a shit person he was (Apparently) and his former drum technician basically said he is a shit drummer and some fans saying he is a shit drummer, but yet he was the drummer for SlipKnot for 10 years and before that was a fill in drummer for Bruce Springsteen.
So played drums for Two massive names at the time and yet what was his former bands he was in claim to fame????
Did Jim say that? His comments after seemed really vague and “it’s not for everyone” vibe. Was there something else? Just a curious fan.
@@JesCarl-bt2wl he was vague because he is in the band but by his comments you can see the attitude was a problem
@@waynesummers7384 hay isn't a shit drummer but he definitely wasn't the best to play in slipknot. And he was there for 10 years because unlike people like to think, it's bad for slipknot to kick members out. It brings a ton of backlash and adds a ton of extra work just to find a new member so yeah that's not good for the band, and we'll his father is the real drummer for Bruce Springsteen so to say that he played in that band isn't the craziest thing even worse when he is accused of being a nepo baby
I’m being completely honest here , they have never been the same since Paul and joey were gone! The magic was lost , joey and Paul were slipknot and you can hear it in the difference in material , I love the knot but there just not the same , still good but just not the same and I’m sad for that .
On one hand I agree but I also thought AHIG was missing something anyway. I know a lot of people love that album but I prefer some of the latter ones to it.
Magic was gone after IOWA. The first 2 albums were a hungry Slipknot trying to prove something. Perfect in fact
Then they said "we made it. We can just crank out generic shit now. Cool"
What does Corey Taylor think about this?

My ass
Been listening to slipknot for 20 years now and I gotta say seeing the band in this state breaks my heart
You like meth?
Donnie Steele was an og member from the 90s. And after filling in for paul a few times Donnie hated what Slipknot had become
I loved this back and forth between you two. I think added some much needed positivity to the conversation along with some what I would consider to be heavy juxtapositions that shouldn’t be ignored that I think at the moment are being over looked. I think anyone who’s been paying attention to the whole story about Jay, especially comments about his time in other bands before slipknot and what Jim Root and Jays drum tech said on Reddit can pretty much surmise what the real reason Jay was let go for. Thank you guys for putting this video out and and adding such a good lens to view this SLIPKNOT drama through lol have a great day!
What did Jim and the drum tech say? I missed all that cuz Redditors drive me nuts 😂
@@blackmesacake5361 He said that the tech said that jay rushed through a lot of stuff. Had trouble playing most of the time and used triggers a lot. Also said that footage was doctored a heavy amount as well. So to be honest I didn’t get the info from Reddit myself but this guy said he did. He also quoted Jim Roots comments on there as well stating more vaguely about how if it’s was easy to play their music then everyone would be doing it and it’s not just that it’s also sometimes comes down to interpersonal relationships as a part of the dynamic. That’s what I remember but definitely watch the video.
@@joshuathomson8980 I'll check that out, thanks! Sounds like it adds up pretty well just for what you said tbh!
you made some great points,best vid i've seen on this,great job to both of you.big love.
they instilled brotherhood into us and we are watching that brotherhood crumble, how should we feel?
Accurate
:(
Short answer: No
Long answer: Personally, I have loved Slipknot for a long time. It was a band that my dad and I bonded over, they put a voice to things that I couldn't express, they gave me an outlet both emotionally and creatively. So to witness all of this happening especially after the band seemingly coming back as strong as they possibly could when they released the Grey Chapter. From a fans perspective it's a very sad and truly heartbreaking situation. I have really mixed feelings. On one hand I really want to stay a fan and believe that those in Slipknot aren't villainous an there's a valid reason behind everything. I don't want to believe that this band that I hold in such high regard is becoming the very thing they stood against when they started. However, with the decisions that have been made like Joey's firing and Jay's firing, how Slipknot has reacted by staying silent amidst these major issues. It's difficult not to feel betrayed to a degree at least.
Even though Slipknot doesn't have to give an explanation and doesn't necessarily owe one either. I honestly feel that Slipknot owes the fans an explanation because we have supported Slipknot and believed in them for so fucking long. We've become attached to them as a whole as well as attached to specific members. It really is like a divorce or parent abandoning their kid/kids or something. As an example, my mom abandoned me as a child which caused a lot of damage that I still deal with. In those situations there comes a point where all you need to hear is the straight up honest truth behind it no matter how bad it might be. All the drama, the pointing fingers, and all the they said they said bullshit doesn't matter anymore. All you need is closure by knowing the truth which is what I feel Slipknot needs to do with the fans. Give the fans closure on these issues at least then Slipknot as an entity and the fans can both move forward together.
You have wrapped up a ton of your personality in this band... that's sad.
Been into slipknot since wait and bleed dropped. The members situation sucks but there is a reason behind it weather we know it or not.
My guess is this shit has been going on for a while but the band was locked into a 7 album contract and found it easiest to just finish it. now that its done, they're airing their shit out
Slipknot died when Joey left imo
fr
Yessss
being in a band is alot of work,i'm just going to respect the decisions made,there will always be a difference of opinion and perspective from fans and the band,peace.
This is what happens when people become emotionally invested in the musicians and not the music 🤣
The purpose of a band is to create unique music that people will listen to.
A successful band has music that is timeless.
Slipknot is both of those things.
So i will continue to enjoy their music and the artists who contributed. To say anything else would be out of my job title as a fan.
Been a fan since 99. Have all the albums and I’ve seen them live like 6 times and I’m at an age when I don’t care if they are done. 7 albums is enough. Didn’t think they’d do much after roadrunner anyway. Bye guys it was fun.
As a fan who thoroughly enjoyed MFKR I've always found it funny they went to lengths to hide that album from the public. Only reinforces their image as a business. Maybe it's legal issues with RR records or they don't see that album as Slipknot's being Anders was vocalist. Idk but maybe we need Anders back lol
I like the music. I loved the last album the end so far. I don't know the truth behind those leaving the band and probably never will as there are not 2 sides but 3, the bands, what the individual who left (was asked to leave said) and the truth. Without information, i can't formulate an opinion. I will, however, still listen to and hopefully enjoy the next album.
Corey cancelled his solo tour over backlash at the lack of a UK & European tour as they had done a full usa tour & fans like me across the pond & in Europe where not happy with the lack of a tour then all of a sudden they announced a full UK & European tour
So glad I got the opportunity to see them in the UK on the Iowa tour got to see the original line up. After Paul passed away it all changed.
I've heard fans speculating that Craig left simply because he's had enough of life as a musician, touring and all that can get old. He probably thought it's time to retire and focus on his family, if he even has one because no one really knows anything about him. As for the future, all I ask is keep making good music that I can enjoy. I enjoyed The End So Far, I know many fans didn't like it but I did. So as long as they keep making stuff like that then I'm happy. I really don't care what they do for live shows because I can't go anyway. And please no more drama.
I heard he's doing spoken word poetry
about to tear down my slipknot poster in rage fr
Nope. Been a fan since 99. Don't even recognize this band anymore.
I appreciate this so much guys 🖤 thank you 🥹🤘🏼
We deserve to hear DILUTED LIVE
i don't think they'll ever play it live, sadly. corey broke down in tears after the recording of diluted. song is just emotionally way too heavy.
@@randommetalhead7 Yeah I’ve heard that excuse before but it wasn’t the case for Metabolic which is essentially Diluted II
Dont you mean stone sour fans?
In this case: yes
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 right?
Slipknot was my favorite band since Iowa came out (almost 23 years), Ive seen them live like 7 times but Im pretty much done with them, last album was disapointing and theyre now acting like little divas. I still revisit their old records, though.
I started listening to these guys back in 1999 I was in JR High and their self-titled album was amazing. I quit following them once they released all hope is gone, I personally cannot stand Psychosocial, no offense to anyone who enjoys it. But I love Iowa and Subliminal Verses and so I still listen to these albums regularly, bands change and that’s ok, and it’s ok to still listen to their old stuff. I have checked out every new release they have put out and was never really grabbed by any of it and so I continue with the one I like. The disasterpieces DVD was pure magic to me with the multi angle views to switch from. I never got attached to Jay, was sad to about Joey cuz I was a fan of him in the Murderdolls as well and Paul of course cuz he is OG, it’s sad to see them go like that. Long story short, I’m fine lol
In all honesty it feels like the Knot started to come freyd and united when Paul passed. The album AHG was that a subliminal message to us maggots saying; all hope is gone, for Slipknot itself... Starting to feel that way. Money is the root of all evil
Slipknot was over when Paul died. AHIG is their last album as far as I’m concerned.
It’s really annoying you know when a band you love is fucking up and they ain’t sharing a damn thing about it! Like at least just tell us WHY Craig is gone? Why you fired Jay? Just explain some things instead of making bullshit excuses like cREaTiVe DeSCisIoNS’
What if Craig wants his privacy and could give less shit about what fans think? What if he just wants peace and quiet? What if band after all these years realized that they want not a great drummer, for which Jay was, but he didn’t really break new wheels as far as I am concerned, Joey did tho, and maybe they just want a more of a unique drummer? Don’t get me wrong I enjoyed Weinberg’s work in these past ten years, his masks were some of the best in Slipknot’s history imo, he played agressively, but he didn’t stand out as a drummer, he was a fan who could play drums really well, what if band really just wanted more, but couldn’t get more from Jay? They are playing together for many years and honestly they know best what works for them, no need to get too much sentimental, either what you hear you enjoy, or you don’t, no need for dumb conspiracy theories or any shit like that.
Well maybe you could fucking read what's going on lol. Answers are all around internet thanks to some insiders. Craig left to be with his family, Jay was fired due to him being very entitled being awful with others, even Jay's drum tech said publically a lot of stuff because he didn't liked him. Jay couldn't play live bass drums to they secretly triggered for him, he rushed songs all the time and couldn't keep the tempo again this said by Jay's drum technician. Just investigate before you throw shit
@@maximilianoalexander9924 Why can’t slipknot just tell the fans what’s happening instead of fans having to go around looking for inside info that is based on idk i guess trust me bro?
@@Worran I don’t care about that it’s just annoying that they don’t tell us shit
@@mozes6305 first of all the info isn't based on "trust me bro" it is based on public tweets and posts in Instagram. And I can't tell you why they don't speak more but I guess it is out of respect for their ex partners. It's not nice to say that you're expulsing a loved member because he is a spoiled kid.
no we are not okay. i am so so depressed about jay. he's my idol for drumming. but i hope he finds success in other ways, i know he will, his talent is unreal. 💕
"I'm so sad!"
When the fuck did Slipknot fans become a bunch of emo pussies?
When Joey was let go it sucked, however was always holding out for his return that unfortunately never happened. Personally was hoping at the time they would have Joey and Jay playing together. That is my hope in this situation hope they bring Jay back and perhaps adding another drum kit and drummer into the mix. How awesome this would be. Whoever they actually do bring in will be awesome, after all they have yet to fail to produce.
As someone who grew up with them since the beginning.... I can say with confidence they suck now and should've parted ways once they got rid of Joey.
There's been a lot of great stuff since then! You've gotta like at least one song after Joey, right?
They're becoming a mess and less and less slipknot
As someone who also grew up with them, I can respectfuly disagree.
@@LoudwireMusicthere's a few okay songs in TGC and WANYK but TESF is straight ass
@@LoudwireMusicNothing like Iowa or self titled. That was peak Slipknot. Even with the turmoil during Iowa
I could tell that Joey was playing Eyeless, from that like 3 second soundless clip. It was the beginning part.
Mark my words. Corey and clown are going to gift their sons Slipknot and they are taking their places in the next 5 - 6 years.
Slipknot is a Franchise now.
They did jay dirty.
No, and yes, in my opinion.
It hurts seeing Craig and Jay gone, I really was shocked when they announced Craig’s departure, as I really loved Craig’s personal of speaking nothing, but Jay? Jay man. He is such a great drummer! Filling in for Joey is no easy task, and he did an amazing job at that.
Truth be told, Slipknot was not what it used to be, The End, So Far was not that good of an album, WANYK and The Gray Chapter were really amazing.
I’m both, in denial, and in shock about this situation. No updates from the band regarding new drummer, and will they regain their past glory again? Hope so. Heck, they need to gain their glory back, cuz if they not, it’s over for the band.
Shit, their music helped me control my anger a lot, as I have an abusive family, to control my outbursts against them, and to better myself day after day, so that I can show them what gem they lost.
I hope so Slipknot recovers, but firing Jay? They dug their own grave, and recovering is not gonna be easy for them. Wishing the best for Jay, and the band.
Paul died: devastated, but determined to continue giving my diehard support.
Joey fired: devastated, unsure whether Slipknot deserved my support.
Chris fired: disappointed, pissed, wondering if collapse was imminent.
Craig fired: wtf is even going on?!
Jay fired: I can't do this anymore...
[Tortillaman's backing vocals are awful btw- watch new psychosocial live vs vol 3 era The Nameless live; Chris is clearly superior, nothing against Tortillaman, but truth is truth]
Been listening to them since the beginning, never been interested in their politics/personal lives though. Why do people feel so entitled to an explanation? If they're not happy working together for whatever reason(s) then that's up to them to deal with, not us. Even if the band broke up tomorrow we'd still have their music, that's not going anywhere. Though, obviously, I hope that doesn't happen.
The Jay Funko toy is really messed up in light of the lawsuit that Joey’s family brought against the band. Kind of hard to argue you aren’t profiting off of Joey’s image and likeness when you are very clearly trying to profit off of Jay’s.
The band owns Joey's masks, etc. No lawsuit.
No! I am not ! Anyway, I thought about the 25th first album anniversary Tour...I think they want to do that with a Joey hologram...but given that Joey's Estate is in trouble with the band since a few days...what will happen? Sure many of us think the same stuff as me....I may be wrong, of course! Because it would be the same with Paul...hologram as well!
:55 Much respect for the Suspiria '77 reference
I grew up in Iowa a huge maggot since a child. Slipknot are no longer Slipknot, the last Knot album was All Hope Is Gone. Paul and Joey not being there was enough, Fehn and Jones not being there means that Shaun is the only Original Member left, and in my eyes he doesn't do enough for the writing for them to continue to be Slipknot. Mick being there means the riffs wont fall off, but Slipknot broke up after All Hope Is Gone and they can't be the same band anymore.
As a lifelong fan heres my perspective. When everything you love and everything you stand for seemingly does a 180.. those responsible for their art, cant see the hypocrisy in the growth of a corporate monster. Shawn always said "i wanted to create something greater" his vision came life. He, will probably never have to work a 9-5 again. Sadly at the expense of being a slight parody. "Slow clap" congratulations! Bravo! 🎉 Being comfortable has affronted your credibility fully.
Ill always be a fan for what the knot has always stood for and the art created in previous years will always have its place in hostory. Sadly though, the emotion, the feeling, the tribe.. us maggots.. we no longer have the rotting flesh, the gore that made us alive. Thats what i fear. We can no longer feed.
I hope by some off chance, Those who need to see this do.
We Cared. The End So far.. til nil.
Talking of the impact of losing a band member mine was the day i found out chester bennington died that completely ripped my heart out still not recovered from that devastating day 💔
It’s sad he took his own life and abandoned his children 💔
same. also the news just give my heartbeat really fast because of that after listening their hit singles.
I'm not okay, I'm not okay, I'm not okay... You wear me out
I’ve had the darkest year but with some of the best moments ever. Weird times
Slipknot was my first metal love
And now…it’s super hard to defend or make excuses for them…
After Joey and Paul…well rest writes itself right?
Damn...
It's perfectly going as it should. Still love them and whatever they as a band chooses. I will never try to judge the band. They deserve to be left alone to decide what they all want to do.
I started mowing Jim roots house here in Jacksonville FL soon as I told him I was a fan he moved with 20 trucks kinda weird
Been part of the grumble since 05' and I'm not okay 🥲
Since Paul Gray Died, Slipknot Died too. No big news here.
Man I used to live in South Africa, when in about 2002 I lost my job, (where as a white guy, it's literally almost impossible getting ANY job anywhere as a white male)....
I was so depressed man. So frotunately my shweetheart of a woman supported me financially. So I dropped her to and from work every day, a 40 min drive one way. I listened to the 1 and 2 Slipknow albums twice a day! for a bout 11 months. But literally every single day, I thought of suicide and just to end the agony of depression, just gnawing at me, making me feel redundant, pointless, unnecessary. I come from a game design backgroud.
Those albums screamed away all my frustrations, helped me through some fo the most difficult times of my life. This is why Slipknot will always be etched into my brain and my heart.
Digging that Ungergang shirt very underrated death metal band. As a Slipknot maggot no fucking pissed off!!!
Are they still playing?
been a fan, or "maggot" since pretty much day 1. saw them for the 1st time in late 90s when nobody knew who they were as they opened for Coal Chamber. changes always happen in music, any genre, BUT, the 2 moments that really got me & still do are the passing of Paul Gray & Joey. sorry for my rambling. long live the 'knot! 🤘🤘🤘
Me too, I was in Seattle and it went dope, slipknot, coal chamber. I was blown away. Fan ever since❤
@@adamalday01 hell yeah! that tour brings back memories 🤘
I saw them opening for Coal Chamber in 99 and they were terrible! I stuck with them anyway and then we got a great concert in 05.
The Knot is fucking dead, dude. All Band Is Gone.
I’m definitely baffled by everything going on with slipknot recently.
I’ve been a maggot since 1999 and I don’t even know what to think. I’m afraid we won’t have slipknot for much longer.
I saw them for the first time in 99. They were terrible!
I saw them again in 2005 and they were amazing!
I'm not worried about Slipknot.
Been following Slipknot since Anders. And well after Craig's departure I knew it was downhill from there. I mean I will be a maggot till I die but just my opinion but I think Paul and Nathan (Joey) are trying to tell them something 🤷
Yeah I'm done too.
Met the band in 1999. Noticed over the years lots of dodgy stuff that Clown and Corey were doing, albeit GRADUALLY. Those 2 seemed to be in control from the beginning. They broke many promises over the years. But the last few years are beyond the pale. Ever since the firing of Joey...he was my favourite member. And HOW they did it. And the way they treated Chris...the manager of the band saying he was not in the band, not "a shareholder or owner", but "an employee" ... that is disgusting. And now...Craig...the always loyal silent one. Left for "personal reasons." Maybe. But Chris. Look what Chris found out! He took ages to speak out...but he eventually did last year. I hope Craig does too and gives us his perspective...but given his silent nature it may never come.
This band said from the beginning if it wasn't the original 9, it wasn't Slipknot. They obviously were lying.
I still have love for Corey for many reasons, especially after what he disclosed in the last few years (child sexual abuse, like Chester suffered). But Clown can go **** himself. He always was a business minded weirdo douche in a lot of ways. Fuck Shawn Crahan.
The mere fact that you send an e-mail to a band member saying that he is no longer in the band is enough. Hello, we are not talking about Justin Bieber, the Slipknot "Family", the least they could have done was spend that hour talking and part ways, send an email like some nasty company is complete madness. I wish Corey and Clown the worst from the bottom of my heart.
i believe it's more clown than corey but correct me if i'm wrong.
I’ll miss jay I think he grew on a lot of people
We are not alright
Been a fan since 1st album it got me though grade school. But now the hell with shitknot
What does Corey Taylor think?
I'm not doing well but I'm more concerned about Corey and his Mental and Physical Health 💯🤘🏻
Pop star threat became the pop stars!
It's sad because I was unhappy with the last album, and now it's just not a band anymore. It's all about the money. The feeling of community is gone with each fire and death.
All Hope Is Gone was the last REAL Slipknot album.
We Are Not Your Kind was their last good album.
@@randommetalhead7 I 100% agree.
I hope Slipknot can still tour in 2024 and hopefully come to Louisville's LOUDER THAN LIFE FEST in 2024!
At this point, they need to start thinking about a farewell tour. Many of the og's aren't around any more (paul, joey [rip], chris, and even craig.) It just doesn't feel the same anymore due to the joey jordison knotfest lawsuit, if you really look into it and think about it. Now, im anl relatively newer fan, but it just doesn't feel the same.
So, the short answer is: no, we're not
It has been chaotic, but that's all we know.
Been a fan since 99 since they first hit roadrunner
I've been at so many shows.... They always acknowledged Joey's loss
I wasn't ok since Joey passed, what do you mean 😂😭
We had the gray chapter, what about the joey chapter
I think we in the wrong dimension. Or maybe the denial is no more.
We have to remember they are in their 50s, they are no longer spring chickens who no longer can go the way they did when they were in their 20s. Although I am not okay with what is going on with the band I don't know what is going in their minds or behind the scenes.
The fans need to umderstand that band members are people too, they are in their right to have a private life and choose what they share and what not to.
THIS
Except kicking a band member out isn’t their private life. That affects everyone who’s close to or listens to the band. It might be tough for them to talk about but it NEEDS to be talked about. Whether they like it or not all this drama will spew out into the public eventually.
How the fuck do you think we are doing 😭😭
It's hard to keep up. Lol
Without 100% facts i can't really say I'm ok or not. Trying not to feel disappointed in the fact it seems Slip knot is graham's and Corey's now and the rest....Well we all know. But i am sad it's gone this way, but wish them well and hope they can find a good balance of money and respect.
Yes. Maybe?
Now Slipknot is not the band anymore. It's just like A COMPANY
🔥
They are saying they had to use drum triggers for jay to be on time
The last album was poor. You can tell that it was created with no heart and separate rooms.
Easy answer: Nope. Loved them for 24 years. Bad enough when Joey was kicked out. Now Joey’s passed, I have no words. 💔 Now it’s all just the worst.
When I last saw them live with cypress hill to me I can see the writing on the wall that their set is just getting weaker with each album they make. WANYK was the first indication. Had some great songs still but just the music direction they went to didn’t connect with me. Although I do appreciate of them tryin something new so it was tolerable. Then the new record came out. Felt like b sides of Vol three and even I have issues with vol three with that sound. Nothing stood out. From that point I decided to not see them anymore. Everyone seems to be fired, released or separated from slipknot. Except Corey and Shawn. Shawn who is the only OG member left now since day one is fair to still be around. But to have Corey to just come in along with his buddy Jim just taking over and now slipknot sounds like stone sour since WANYK came out. To me whatever is going on backstage, the direction slipknot is going does not look good. And with Jay being gone who brought some energy and passion on the drums without all the drugs Joey was doing from what I know Jay doesn’t do was awesome. And then just cut him out the band. That broke the camels back for me to really not see these guys no more. Stone sour took over slipknot is what I’m just seeing and hearing from the music lately.
Slipknot was one of my favorite bands ever, became a fan at 8 years old, Vol 3 was out an my first Slipknot record an I was apart of the ride ever since. That bein said I’m over it, when Paul died it really sucked cause that killed part of the magic, when they kicked Joey out that was really gross an left a bad taste, then when Chris was out that personally got me the worst cause he’s the face of Slipknot to me, an always will be. Now Craig & Jay, give me a break. What happen to the “brotherhood” they are just like KISS at this point. Just end it with a little credibility. The last album was an absolute slap in the face to the fans. Absolute trash if an album. The only Knot record I refuse to buy cause I don’t want that trash. I want them to go away with just a slight bit of class. Almost impossible at this juncture, nobody wants “new” members. We want the 9. The original 9, now obviously 7/9 is all we have living, get that back together and be Slipknot again or go away
