This band is falling apart fast. #5 Craig just left a few months ago & now their main drummer was just kicked out. They should've broke up when Paul Grey died in 2010.
He's a good drummer but wouldn't be anywhere without his dad, Max, who drums for Bruce Springsteen & was the band leader on the NBC Conan O'Brien show. I'm old enough to remember seeing Slipknot perform on that show back in like 2000 before they released Iowa.
Joey was good, Corey's vocals are solid but he's an arrogant fucktard. I really enjoyed listening to their music back in high school and most of college.
I kinda listen to whatever now. Heard their new album was shit, haven't listened to a single song off of it.
Was going to say I thought they sucked after Iowa. But I’m not sure I’d even like the first two now outside of nostalgia. Just caught me at the right age.
They did start sucking after Iowa because they dropped Ross Robinson as a producer for (((Rick Rubin))) on their 3rd album & he barely did shit - there's plenty of interviews with Corey complaining that Rick didn't do shit. Then they did All Hope Is Gone & that was their last good album. Everything else sucks since 2008.
I would't call that corporate professional language. "Yeah, bro, you'll never be as good as our first drummer," in a public statement isn't exactly a match with 110% let's not offend anyone ever corpo talk.

This is really all I needed to know to convince me to delete the few Slipknot songs I have on my phone.
Constantly fast forwarding wondering why I have these songs……, forgot why I liked them….., forget to remember dead drummer…

and what is with such a professional, corporate language? They're supposed to be a metal band. Go out and annoy and scare people.
Also, Corey said he's just physically exhausted and in pain all the time. I'm surprised they're still around after all this time.

What do you call those guys who follow a band around, haul a bunch of equipment, and hope to get some of the leftover pussy?
Drummers.
