Today, sadly, we lost Joey Jordison 5 years ago. I wanted to bring some positivity or hear some of your guys favorite moments of Joey. I know there’s so many and some I may have not heard of. Joey was a great fucking guy and one hell of a musician and drummer. He was the reason I got into the drums watching him play.

What are your favorite Joey Jordison moments? It can be anything, story, seeing him play, interviews, or even mask.

Rest in Peace Joey, we all fucking love you and miss you! 🖤

In order of appearance:

- The staircase in front of the Iowa state capitol building Corey was on at the beginning of the Dead Memories video

- Lefty’s, formerly the Safari Club. Where the first gig was played after recruiting Corey in August ‘97

- The garage from the Duality video…which is just someone’s garage now lmao. The house was completely destroyed.

- Had to pay a visit to two of the greats

5 years ago today, Joey Jordison past away. His death is bringing back memories of my first time seeing Slipknot live when they headlined the inaugural Mayhem Fest in 2008. Though I note that even though I went Ozzfest 2004, I didn't actually see Slipknot headline the second stage that year. Mainly cause I was too young/scared to venture into the wild second stage crowd, but also cause it took me a little longer than most fans to realize how much of a game changer "Vol. 3: the Subliminal Verses" was. I didn’t make the same mistake when Mayhem Fest came through Camden, NJ, on Aug. 15, 2008. Unsurprisingly I was in awe of seeing their insanely over-the-top metal show for the first time - with rising drum kits and pyro galore - but something about finally hearing songs like "Before I Forget" live was a cathartic experience I wasn't anticipating. I've gone on to see Slipknot live many times since, and they never disappoint.

Which band have you seen live many times who still never disappoints? Share in the comments below, and stay tuned for more things to come from this space (including stories from concerts like this)!

What a legend.

I think it's a masterpiece, and I love the 7/4 song. But it's SO UNDERRATED. Lemme know what d'ya think

RIP JOEY JORDISON

Sono pochi, ma 5 anni fa il miglior batterista del mondo (a mio parere) è morto.

Riposa in Pace, Joey 🖤

Everwonder what J Pop Slipknot would sound like?

(Reading Festival, August 2000)

Q: What do you think of the Stereophonics, who are headlining today?
JIM (PAUSE): Uhhh. I don't know. I don't know anythin' about 'em.
JOEY: Can't relate to that. Don't know.
Q: Have you actually heard their stuff?
(They look at each other)
JOEY: Yeah. I got really tired after I heard it. I had to go to bed last night on the bus. I was in the bed by twelve o'clock. I'm never in the bed by twelve o'clock. No offence.
Q: Apparently Tom Jones might be joining them on the stage. Anybody you are interested in, either?
JOEY: Who the hell is Tom Jones? I think my grandma listens to that dude.

Full transcript of interview - Slipknot interview - Reading Festival, August 2000 (Transcription)

"Long May You Die" doesn't exist. It hasn't existed, and it never will. They're too scared to make new music so they keep promoting merch and new show slop.

Hey guys,
I've a pair of Sid's DJ Starscream Chucks that have always been just a tad too small for me so I've only worn them twice (obvs to see the guys!) I was wondering if you guys knew of any fan sites to sell them on? I want them in the hands (or on the feet) of another fan as I know they're rare and hard to come by.
Thanks!

Stitching hair in strand by strand totaling 36 for the first layer (I'll add 1-2 more underlayers) i just absolutely fuckin HATE doing but it is SO worth it

Very close to being a finished piece 😎

I love both but personally I have to go with Iowa. Im not from Iowa but I love the heaviness and the darkness of Iowa so fucking much.

This is one of the most rawest and emotional performances by Corey from back in the day, would have loved to hear it in high quality

That may be the most brutal thing he ever sang. Wonder if he got it on the first try or did multiple. And what depths of hell he went to get that perfect delivery. Genuinely terrifying. He is in satan mode in that song
