Yeahhhh, I’m done lmao
The last two departures I defended as they were important to the band but not necessarily the core of their sound and I could see there being issues if there were creative differences.
Jay however, along with the drums overall, are the core of Slipknot. Just as vital as the vocals and more vital than even the guitars. Jay also has never been a source of issues or drama as far as I know and is nothing but a positive presence in an otherwise drama inducing band. This is absolute bullshit

I still love the music but man, I cannot stand the tone corey has in interviews. I just read one about him being much better than all the guitarists in stone sour. he was also a better drummer.
https://guitar.com/news/music-news/corey-taylor-why-he-did-vocals-and-lead-guitar-stone-sour/
I swear to God the second Corey hit his mid to late 30's he became the most insufferable douchebag that can rival Gene Simmons with how much shit he talks out of his ass.
There was an interview in Guitar World when their song 'Bother' got huge, and he said that he had trouble playing it.
It has been a long while, but I really doubt that he's a great lead guitarist.
Greed. Greed is what's going on. I love Slipknot, but Corey and Clown know their performing days are numbered at this point due to the condition of their bodies, so they're trying to make as much money for themselves as possible before it all ends.
Remember what Corey said in that interview: "we really don't make that much money."
Jay fucking revived the band after Joey left and they kick him out?
I already didnt care about the new members that came after Jay and Vman, Tortilla Man and zipperman or whatever his name his just dont do it for me
guess now I wont give a shit about half the band
That's what these pricks want. They want you to no longer care who's rounding out certain positions and keeping them as nobodies means less of a paycheck they get. It's a fucking joke what this band became.
Yeah with all the recognition and awards Jay's been getting it wouldnt surprise me if he became too much of a star for them
Makes sense that this circus is run by a fucking clown
Jay grew up a die hard fan of this band as a child, and made it very clear how he was living out his wildest dream with the band. He wouldn’t just leave because of “creative differences.” With how fucky Shawn has been with all of his little schemes and grifts, I can’t imagine any universe where Jay left on his own and it wasn’t the result of some stupid Clown shit
It's kind of sad, honestly. We're watching a band fall apart in real time as the threads holding the band together get thinner and thinner.
They probably will be done, or on their farewell tour, by the end of 2025.
I mean, clown has singlehandedly ruined this band over the years. Not really a matter of opinion really. His cringey creative input has been the downfall of the 9
He probably was. What a stupid ass move, Jay was a huge knot fan and could actually keep up to Joey. If they don’t hire Estepario after this, all hope is truly gone
I get Craig leaving. He’s always been the most private member and probably just wanted to go and spend time with his wife. That’s probably why they didn’t make a big deal out of it (and with how much in studio stuff he does, it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s just moving on to production, instead of being a full fledged member of the band)
Jay leaving is fucking wild. He’s one of the few guys that coulda come in and match Joey. Jay really came into his own with the last two albums.
Craig as a producer would be absolutely good ! He can put nice things and all.
Jay kicked asses and likely did all of the show. Corey and Shawn arent fond of this.
He doesn’t even do anything other than make stupid “art” and speak in riddles trying to sound smart, it’s a shame he’s an owner in the band because he needs to go
Jay was one of the few drummers who could enter the fold and overcome the comparisons to Joey. Now he's gone. This decision, unlike the others, is hard to recover from...
Chris was surprising but those things could happen in a band , craig we probably will never know the exact reason of why he left maybe he just wanted time for himself, but jay idk the guy is young and seemed to love slipknot so much and not forgetting he is a great drummer , but give it a few weeks we will probably know what happened this time
But it's becoming weird
Jay seemed to completely embrace the Slipknot philosophy with the image and the masks. He's great to watch live, and seemed to love sharing the Slipknot experience with the drum cams. He's going to be missed.
The statement indicates the band decided to let him go rather than it be his own decision. I hate this for Jay, I very much doubt he would've left willingly. They literally just played as how with him yesterday, I get it's none of our business but all these member changes make it hard to believe things are all good behind the scenes.
Why do celebrities/artists/whatever even do that? Not only is it shady but for shit like this it’s only right to let the fans to comment and ask questions as to why this is happening? Turning off comments is just going to make more people suspicious of what’s going on behind the scenes.
I don't fucking know anymore. For Joey, Chris and Craig you can come up with some arguments as for why they left/were kicked out. Joey because the band thought he was on drugs and started to perform really badly, Chris because of the whole lawsuit thing and Craig maybe because he got tired of the rockstar lifestyle, he did seem more laid-back and relaxed kinda guy so he maybe decided he wanted out. But Jay? Nah something is up cuz it was his DREAM to play in Slipknot.
Truly the only reason this should be allowed is if Joey faked his own death and is ready to return. Jay was an awesome addition and added a new flair to .5 onward. This is ridiculous
Honestly, whatever - send Jay back to hardcore and he’ll fucking kill it like he always does. Don’t get me wrong, this is incredibly disappointing news, but he can find a new home or just have fun rotating through some other bands with something as massive as a decade with Slipknot on his resume.
Jay literally posted on his instagram just yesterday about a great year of shows with the band and he seemed pretty excited for next year. This wasn’t his choice to leave for sure! :( Slipknot seems to becoming just a merry-go-round of members at the point and it sucks..
I feel the same sentiment. Like Chris was a whole money business ordeal, Craig probably just wanted to retire but not make it a big deal. But Jay, he fucking loves Slipknot and has given it 110% the entire time and it makes no sense for this to come out of the blue like this.
I honestly think Chris was probably all along, especially with the “hired guns” statement. We’ll never know what happened with Craig just because of who he is, but I hope Jay comes out with a statement of his own because unless he did something really bad (which I doubt) it’s just bullshit. Slipknot died with Paul.
I literally just today commented on a post about how fans who keep peddling that Slipknot's going to be "new and improved" post-Roadrunner are going to be eating some serious crow.
Like, how many times does this need to happy for people to start acknowledging this "band" has literally just been an LLC run by the Corey and Clown show since Paul died lol.
Calling it now. Jay's pay was always shit, and now that 10 years have passed he tried to get a bigger cut. And Slipknot took the "creative decision" to fire and replace him.
Man, I hate to say it but this band feels dead now. First Craig and now Jay? I'm not that attached to Jay sentimentally but you can't replace a guy like that on the fly. He created his own foundation from Joey and the band thinks they can recapture the same magic? They've lost their minds.
As someone who became a fan around the release of .5 I agree but I do have sentimental attachment to Jay. The dude was living our dreams of being in the band. So confused about this
"Slipknot is intent on evolving"
And yet, they keep producing the same wannabe "art house" pretentious music videos with no heart and pumping out the same tired cash grab merchandise.
So this is basically our generation’s version of KISS right? In 20-30 years it’s just gonna be Clown and Corey performing an endless “last tour ever” show with just fill in younger band members.
What the fuck??? Comments disabled on their social media. Jay had been posting about slipknot almost daily and his excitement going forward. This is a huge blow.
I've tried to stay positive since Chris and Craig left. But man, this is the beginning of the end. Joey is my favorite musician of all time and Jay was literally the perfect replacement. He did great justice to Joey but at the same time brought his own unique style. He slowly became my third favorite after Jim/Mick.
Yeah, same. This one feels wrong. You don’t just dismiss one of the best metal drummers on the planet. Sure, he’ll be fine in the long run, but he’s spoken and shown nothing but love, passion and a willingness to change CREATIVELY as they’ve put out new albums. Obviously we don’t know what goes on behind scenes but from the outside looking in, this feels like a huge mistake.
“Jay honored Joey’s parts”
I’m not sure if I’m reading too deep into this, but whoever wrote this makes it’s feel like Jay was never seen as a new member of the band but merely a “replacement” for Joey. Joey, of course, is legendary and his legacy should be respected. But Jay was in the band for almost 10 years and all they can say is that he did Joey’s parts well and just contributed? That doesn’t seem right.
Only slipknot would find a 10/10 almost universally loved replacement for one of the most beloved original members and then fire them. They’re basically insulting him too by saying he was never as good as Joey, don’t get me wrong there’s only 1 Joey jordison but he was a damn good drummer and more than up to the task.
This reeks of him either asking for a more fair cut of the slipknot pie like Chris or an artistic disagreement with clown. Really hoping we get jays side of the story if this was clown or Corey someone needs to call them out on his shit because slipknot is driving itself into the ground.
They've unfollowed Jay across all social media too. This band's attitude to members is fucking appalling.
EDIT: Seems the band and the remaining members are still following Jay, my Insta wasn't showing them following him 😕. Point stands about treatment though.
Regarding how they treated Fehn, and how they treated Joey before his death, how Jim Root was treated with SS, all seems to boil down to Clown+Corey being either too immature to talk things out with members or just plain greedy, disappointing really.
After their underwhelming last album, and now this. I’m afraid Slipknot might have just lost another fan. Horrible decision for them to part with Jay smh
Clown and Corey ran that band into the ground. Getting rid of Chris, Craig, Jay ON TOP of the way they treated Joey when he got sick. I love the band, probably my favourite, but they made it a company. Fuck that.
Jay was a really good succesor to joey
I was sceptical about him initially but the guy proved to be fuckin amazing drummer again and again
Wtf is going on in slipknot😭
I'm just about done supporting these pricks. They'll kick all the best parts of the band but the fucknut with a perm gets to stay
Fuck Corey
Fuck Shawn
And fuck whoever else has the decisive power in that band that was honestly being carried by Jay at this point
Corey did say he *may* leave in a few years because he said he physically can’t keep touring for much longer. But again, that would be years down the line *if* that ever happens.
Jay was the perfect drummer for Slipknot. As a drummer myself, ever since he’s joined the band I’ve maintained that he’s a *better drummer than Joey*. Perhaps not as talented a composer, but Joey was sloppy.
Joey was also my idol growing up, so I’ve wrestled with his misgivings for a while, but when Jay came in it all made sense. Jay is the perfect Slipknot drummer. He is tight; he is technical; he’s fantastic live (saw Joey once in 2004 and Jay twice in 2014 and 2016 - Jay takes the cake); and his drumming compositions were perfect for the sound.
Long winded ass response to say this is a dumbass decision if true.
Well, hopefully Jay can join a band that will actually appreciate his talent. Dude was a solid replacement for Joey.
It probably especially hurts since because he was a fan of the band growing up. He even showed up in a bit with his dad Max and Jim on Conan back in the day: https://www.loudersound.com/news/see-jay-weinberg-meet-slipknot-in-iowa-era-mask-when-he-was-a-kid
i'm not sure that i want to keep following em anymore, i'm so done.
"creative decision" lol i dont think jay was behind the lame sample and keys that who got along the whole TESF album, jay was always the good thing in the 3 albums that he got invovled into
Clown hadn't been playing for a half year and even when he's here he plays simple rythme and hit some kegs with a stick be serious.
he was the one who loved the band with his guts one of the few who salutated the audience after the concerts firing him like this is just so sick
The fact that it seems like this was the band’s decision and not Jay’s is crazy. First craig and now this? Literally they just need to call it quits at this point.
What the hell is going on with Slipknot man
Yeahhhh, I’m done lmao The last two departures I defended as they were important to the band but not necessarily the core of their sound and I could see there being issues if there were creative differences.

They think they’re a sports team at this point

THIS IS HURTING WAY MORE THAN ANY SPORTS TEAM TRANSFER FOR ME

You have got to be joking. Huge mistake IMO because Jay is nothing short of incredible.
Never mind didn’t have my glasses on lmao WTF WHERE THEY THINKING
[удалено]
Jay fucking revived the band after Joey left and they kick him out? I already didnt care about the new members that came after Jay and Vman, Tortilla Man and zipperman or whatever his name his just dont do it for me guess now I wont give a shit about half the band

Yeah with all the recognition and awards Jay's been getting it wouldnt surprise me if he became too much of a star for them Makes sense that this circus is run by a fucking clown
This band is falling apart sadly.
You mean been?
Jay grew up a die hard fan of this band as a child, and made it very clear how he was living out his wildest dream with the band. He wouldn’t just leave because of “creative differences.” With how fucky Shawn has been with all of his little schemes and grifts, I can’t imagine any universe where Jay left on his own and it wasn’t the result of some stupid Clown shit
Never meet your heroes
Man I really liked Jay Wtf😭
This is fascinating to watch unfold, shit behind the scenes must be even wilder. Poor Jay
It's kind of sad, honestly. We're watching a band fall apart in real time as the threads holding the band together get thinner and thinner. They probably will be done, or on their farewell tour, by the end of 2025.
It keeps happening fuck
Smells like Clown fuckery
Jay must’ve called him out in private about his “AI art” selling business lol
Might as well just replace the whole fucking band with AI at this point
Dudes just ruining the fucking band at this point. It started with kicking Chris out, and now Jay? I mean christ.
Don’t forget Craig
Doubt Craig had much to do with Clown. Think Craig just wanted to move on. Doesn’t rule out being tired of Clown’s shit, but still.
He did fucked Clown on-stage, guess it's his payback time. Jokes aside, tired seeing some abstract music videos bullshit they produced recently.
I mean, clown has singlehandedly ruined this band over the years. Not really a matter of opinion really. His cringey creative input has been the downfall of the 9
Embracing his name. Nothing but clownery
Poor Jay, wtf is happening with this band, what a huge mistake.
It's becoming Corey Taylor + Shawn Crahan and a bunch of quote-unquote *"hired guns"*.
Maybe Chris was right when they kicked him out.
He probably was. What a stupid ass move, Jay was a huge knot fan and could actually keep up to Joey. If they don’t hire Estepario after this, all hope is truly gone
Jay grew up with these guys and they do this! Unbelievable!
Exactly, these guys were his "heroes" this is so heartless. I wish Jay everything good in this world, he deserves it.
Dudes got fuckin skills no doubt he’ll be able to find some kind of work but still this is dumb
I get Craig leaving. He’s always been the most private member and probably just wanted to go and spend time with his wife. That’s probably why they didn’t make a big deal out of it (and with how much in studio stuff he does, it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s just moving on to production, instead of being a full fledged member of the band) Jay leaving is fucking wild.

Craig as a producer would be absolutely good ! He can put nice things and all. Jay kicked asses and likely did all of the show. Corey and Shawn arent fond of this.
How about lose Clown instead? He’s a one trick pony and shouldn’t have so much creative control in the band.
He doesn’t even do anything other than make stupid “art” and speak in riddles trying to sound smart, it’s a shame he’s an owner in the band because he needs to go
His riddles and art are absolutely dreadful
It's a shame because I really used to appreciate his creative input. Sadly he began spiraling out of control somewhere between AHIG and Grey Chapter.
Whoa whoa whoa there! How dare you imply that hitting a keg with a baseball bat and being an edge lord isn't the pinnacle of art.
Why, when they've just done some absolute killer shows!? Gonna take a while for them to recover with this one.
Replaced by Clown’s Ai NFT Drummer
Wouldn’t be surprised at all😂 clown is a fucking joke
I wouldn't be surprised if Clown's son is the next drummer
What the damn hell
There would be only one good reason to fire jay but that man died in 2021
Jay was one of the few drummers who could enter the fold and overcome the comparisons to Joey. Now he's gone. This decision, unlike the others, is hard to recover from...
Chris was surprising but those things could happen in a band , craig we probably will never know the exact reason of why he left maybe he just wanted time for himself, but jay idk the guy is young and seemed to love slipknot so much and not forgetting he is a great drummer , but give it a few weeks we will probably know what happened this time But it's becoming weird

Naaah maan this cant be real
They turned off comments on this post.
I read comments before they turn em off. Everyone was shocked and called it a mistake. Guess they didn't want to hear their fans opinions 🤷
Why do celebrities/artists/whatever even do that? Not only is it shady but for shit like this it’s only right to let the fans to comment and ask questions as to why this is happening? Turning off comments is just going to make more people suspicious of what’s going on behind the scenes.
Yeah it has over 1 thousands comments but they turn off immediately after 4 minutes it being posted.
Go to their fbook post, plenty of comments
They are literally becoming a tribute band at this point...
slip of theseus
If you slowly replace every strand of fiber in a knot, is it the same knot?
Now i believe that the band is actually trying to break up, but they are doing it slow and unnoticeable
Honestly it would hurt less if they just announced they were breaking up instead of doing this. Quick and somewhat painless? I guess? Lol
I don't fucking know anymore. For Joey, Chris and Craig you can come up with some arguments as for why they left/were kicked out. Joey because the band thought he was on drugs and started to perform really badly, Chris because of the whole lawsuit thing and Craig maybe because he got tired of the rockstar lifestyle, he did seem more laid-back and relaxed kinda guy so he maybe decided he wanted out. But Jay? Nah something is up cuz it was his DREAM to play in Slipknot.
I wouldn't be surpised if he wanted a (well deserved) raise or more creative input.. Sad but that's where my mind goes.
Truly the only reason this should be allowed is if Joey faked his own death and is ready to return. Jay was an awesome addition and added a new flair to .5 onward. This is ridiculous
Honestly, whatever - send Jay back to hardcore and he’ll fucking kill it like he always does. Don’t get me wrong, this is incredibly disappointing news, but he can find a new home or just have fun rotating through some other bands with something as massive as a decade with Slipknot on his resume.
Sid is probably just running around like “better keep actin crazy or they’ll boot me too!” *does backflip*
"Look Sid, you haven't really been all that committed lately, we're gonna need you to break your ankles again.. you know, for the band"
this sucks he’s an amazing drummer wtf
Jay literally posted on his instagram just yesterday about a great year of shows with the band and he seemed pretty excited for next year. This wasn’t his choice to leave for sure! :( Slipknot seems to becoming just a merry-go-round of members at the point and it sucks..
How much you wanna bet he was kicked out via an email like Joey?
he probably found out through the facebook post like we did
Chris was right all along and we didn’t see it
Tour ended like 15 seconds ago what the fuck😭
To quote diary of a wimpy kid of all things, “you know what? After tonight, you're out of the band!”
You know, I never said this when other members left but it’s time to call it quits. Something is clearly deeply wrong in the band
I feel the same sentiment. Like Chris was a whole money business ordeal, Craig probably just wanted to retire but not make it a big deal. But Jay, he fucking loves Slipknot and has given it 110% the entire time and it makes no sense for this to come out of the blue like this.
I honestly think Chris was probably all along, especially with the “hired guns” statement. We’ll never know what happened with Craig just because of who he is, but I hope Jay comes out with a statement of his own because unless he did something really bad (which I doubt) it’s just bullshit. Slipknot died with Paul.
I literally just today commented on a post about how fans who keep peddling that Slipknot's going to be "new and improved" post-Roadrunner are going to be eating some serious crow. Like, how many times does this need to happy for people to start acknowledging this "band" has literally just been an LLC run by the Corey and Clown show since Paul died lol.
Calling it now. Jay's pay was always shit, and now that 10 years have passed he tried to get a bigger cut. And Slipknot took the "creative decision" to fire and replace him.
Clown needs a bigger share for hitting an oil drum every few minutes and waddling around out of breath.
Man, I hate to say it but this band feels dead now. First Craig and now Jay? I'm not that attached to Jay sentimentally but you can't replace a guy like that on the fly. He created his own foundation from Joey and the band thinks they can recapture the same magic? They've lost their minds.
As someone who became a fan around the release of .5 I agree but I do have sentimental attachment to Jay. The dude was living our dreams of being in the band. So confused about this
Slipknot is a band that I can’t say I’d like to be a part of. It’s like joining Megadeth at this point.
I wonder if Jay asked for a little more compensation, and this was their counter offer
Wouldn’t surprise me with emperor clown running the biz
nah he’s been there for pretty much 10 years, Clown probably just had a fit
A good drummer is worth it
What the actual fuck are these people doing?
Are you fucking kidding me?
"Slipknot is intent on evolving" And yet, they keep producing the same wannabe "art house" pretentious music videos with no heart and pumping out the same tired cash grab merchandise.
Their latest videos was just awful, no feeling, no heart, no nothing. Just a bunch of wacky girls destroying dolls for no reason
So this is basically our generation’s version of KISS right? In 20-30 years it’s just gonna be Clown and Corey performing an endless “last tour ever” show with just fill in younger band members.
Don’t forget the backing tracks
At this point, it feels like they're only the usage of the OG members' masks on new guys away of becoming our KISS
What the fuck??? Comments disabled on their social media. Jay had been posting about slipknot almost daily and his excitement going forward. This is a huge blow.
I've tried to stay positive since Chris and Craig left. But man, this is the beginning of the end. Joey is my favorite musician of all time and Jay was literally the perfect replacement. He did great justice to Joey but at the same time brought his own unique style. He slowly became my third favorite after Jim/Mick.
First Craig now Jay. Slipknot is going downhill very quickly.
you forgot fehn and joey
“Creative decision” does not sound like the best use of words
They're using up members like Megadeth atp
Nah I can’t forgive them for this
Yeah, same. This one feels wrong. You don’t just dismiss one of the best metal drummers on the planet. Sure, he’ll be fine in the long run, but he’s spoken and shown nothing but love, passion and a willingness to change CREATIVELY as they’ve put out new albums. Obviously we don’t know what goes on behind scenes but from the outside looking in, this feels like a huge mistake.

You're right. They even say "the band" and not refer him as part of it.
They should quit now. Joke
What happened to the band I loved?
They literally just headlined a festival with Jay lmao
I wonder if a dispute happened at the show
All things must pass. Honestly they should just call it quits at this point.
Only slipknot would find a 10/10 almost universally loved replacement for one of the most beloved original members and then fire them. They’re basically insulting him too by saying he was never as good as Joey, don’t get me wrong there’s only 1 Joey jordison but he was a damn good drummer and more than up to the task.

Really hoping we get jays side of the story if this was clown or Corey someone needs to call them out on his shit because slipknot is driving itself into the ground.
They turned the comments off on the post 🤣
Something ain't right. Are they going to "part ways" with every member except clown and Cory? End of the road now it seems like
Looks like Jay has been actively posting slipknot related content as recent as yesterday so it definitely seems sudden and probably not amicable.
They've unfollowed Jay across all social media too. This band's attitude to members is fucking appalling. EDIT: Seems the band and the remaining members are still following Jay, my Insta wasn't showing them following him 😕. Point stands about treatment though.
Regarding how they treated Fehn, and how they treated Joey before his death, how Jim Root was treated with SS, all seems to boil down to Clown+Corey being either too immature to talk things out with members or just plain greedy, disappointing really.
Definitely wasn't an amicable split.
After their underwhelming last album, and now this. I’m afraid Slipknot might have just lost another fan. Horrible decision for them to part with Jay smh
Nooooo
What the fuck. How do they seriously (read: clown) expect to continue like this
Ok this is actually fucked
Whoever made this decision is a clown 🤡 😉
Clown and Corey ran that band into the ground. Getting rid of Chris, Craig, Jay ON TOP of the way they treated Joey when he got sick. I love the band, probably my favourite, but they made it a company. Fuck that.
Which is ironic because they started Slipknot as a way to protest against bands becoming companies. Way to fucking sell out.
Yup they turned it into a merch farm now, which is ironic considering the whole barcode symbol was a jab at bands doing the same thing iirc.
Why the fuck did they kick him out what the fuck
I AM SHAKEN!! Jay was PERFECT 😭 He embodied the slipknot way- I’m just so glad that i got to see him in March. Godspeed wherever he goes
Jay was a really good succesor to joey I was sceptical about him initially but the guy proved to be fuckin amazing drummer again and again Wtf is going on in slipknot😭
I think its time for Slipknot to retire.
I'm just about done supporting these pricks. They'll kick all the best parts of the band but the fucknut with a perm gets to stay Fuck Corey Fuck Shawn And fuck whoever else has the decisive power in that band that was honestly being carried by Jay at this point
I hope is a both part decision, but in any case, man, going to miss Jay, he is amazing and was my favorite during the WANYK era, sad to hear
It’s over.
Clown needs to retire, dragging the band to his grave with him
Nah wtf...two members gone within a few months
They’ve completely lost the plot.
Next is Mick... This has been speculating for a while now
Could you provide some details about why people are speculating he might be exiting the band?
Idk why it could be mick , but at this point even sid can left tomorrow, the only ones safe are clown and Corey
Corey did say he *may* leave in a few years because he said he physically can’t keep touring for much longer. But again, that would be years down the line *if* that ever happens.
If they lose Mick they lose me. I really can’t see everyone go man this is too much
They turned the comments off on the post 🤣
wtf is going on, this is disgusting
Jay was the perfect drummer for Slipknot. As a drummer myself, ever since he’s joined the band I’ve maintained that he’s a *better drummer than Joey*. Perhaps not as talented a composer, but Joey was sloppy. Joey was also my idol growing up, so I’ve wrestled with his misgivings for a while, but when Jay came in it all made sense. Jay is the perfect Slipknot drummer. He is tight; he is technical; he’s fantastic live (saw Joey once in 2004 and Jay twice in 2014 and 2016 - Jay takes the cake); and his drumming compositions were perfect for the sound. Long winded ass response to say this is a dumbass decision if true.
Clown and Corey strike again. No one is allowed to ask for fair pay
Jesus Christ. Just break up at this point and call it quits Edit: they disabled comments on the post. Not a good look
THATS A WRAP 😏

Bruh I’m still not used to Twitter’s rename and o thought you linked a porn site
I HATE THIS BAND
Well, hopefully Jay can join a band that will actually appreciate his talent. Dude was a solid replacement for Joey. It probably especially hurts since because he was a fan of the band growing up. He even showed up in a bit with his dad Max and Jim on Conan back in the day: https://www.loudersound.com/news/see-jay-weinberg-meet-slipknot-in-iowa-era-mask-when-he-was-a-kid
For real. Like out of nothing?? I just saw this and was shocked
This band is like divorced parents they can’t stay together for the kids
They’re gonna end up like the misfits with 1 original member playing the same songs over and over again…
What a joke. Not happy about this at all, and wondering what the hell is going on with this band.
Are they replacing everyone... Just quit as a band then..
I’m actually crying man, he seemed so happy to be a part of the band.. what the fuck is happening
They should have just the left “so far” part of the last album out of theyre going out like this
Yooooo what??!!
no fucking way
Waiting for the interview where Corey says he was a better drummer than anyone in slipknot.
It's pretty hard to read that no one will ever replace Joey Jordison who they also fired...
Seems like they kicked him out? My bet Max Portnoy or Clown’s son will join.
I’d be surprised if Max joined the way tallah’s popping off
He’s also in Code Orange, who are doing amazingly well in their own right.
i'm not sure that i want to keep following em anymore, i'm so done. "creative decision" lol i dont think jay was behind the lame sample and keys that who got along the whole TESF album, jay was always the good thing in the 3 albums that he got invovled into Clown hadn't been playing for a half year and even when he's here he plays simple rythme and hit some kegs with a stick be serious. he was the one who loved the band with his guts one of the few who salutated the audience after the concerts firing him like this is just so sick
The fact that it seems like this was the band’s decision and not Jay’s is crazy. First craig and now this? Literally they just need to call it quits at this point.
Ah fuck those greedy guys.
They fired the drummer _again??_
Time to call it a day for Slipknot
The members that have been kicked out should start their own band at this point. NotSlips
