Eloy is a fucking beast. Slipknot is going in a great direction, their 8th studio record is gonna be a NUKE.

rammstein also got all their OGs still in the band. not a single member change since they started back in 1994

Cory's vocals from one of the live videos I've seen, wow. At his age and still have a guttural vocals like he was doing, sounded like iowa imo. Imo it sounded like the album, it was that good. Whole band was on fucking point.

I hope slipknot keeps this line up going as long as possible… but ya even suicide silence, there’s only Garza and Mark left from when I first saw them live but they still kill it to this day.

Sevendust did change members for a while, Sonny Mayo from Snot played with them for a few years before reuniting with the OG line up again

I agree Eloy is the perfect fit!🤘 Jim root Was saying in a recent interview how happy he is with the drumming.

I couldn't have said anything you mentioned any better. Was right on.

I went to aftershock in 2022 and they sounded great. It was unreal seeing them for the first time. I definitely was not ready for the mosh pit🤣

Saying Slipknot better without paul, joey, craige and chris is wild!. I was luckily enough to seem them 13 times as the original set line up. Teenage dreams come true

Eloy is on fire

Eloy is such a hard hitting player, That was the first thing I noticed watching their recent shows. Over everything that was happening on stage you can hear him very clearly. I'd definitely agree with you guys they seem to be in a very different head space and the energy that is Slipknot seems to be flowing back in. Jay is a very talented drummer but he seemed to be lacking in the energy and playing personality. R.I.P Joey for sure we will never have another like him, So glad I got to see them while we still had the OG lineup.

It’s a tough comparison, joey was a fair bit sloppier but had its charm.. will be interesting to see what material they make with eloy.. seems eloy can blast beat a bit better than joey as well so hope they bring that into new material. Or at least bring back a dnb-type wild kind of vibe from their self titled, cos yea.. a lot of the post stone sour stuff was rather naff ngl 😂

Definitely best era of them since Iowa or Vol 3.

Big shout to Sevendust 🔥🔥🔥

Wait to see what he brings to a record.... He's a fillin till i hear new music

Half of Slipknots band member changes happened before the first record even came out, then they had the same 9 people for 11 years, that in itself is a miracle, especially considering the amount of turmoil they’ve been through, then they absolutely had to make a change when Paul died, shit happens in every band, but the casual fans are so ignorant and only know the surface level, they only know the main lineups to a band, I mean to this day they get surprised to find out about Anders Colsefni as Slipknots original vocalist, the real surprise with bands is when they actually do have the same lineup for so long.

Parkway drive have had few member changes

Now now.... 7Dust did a guitarist swap for a few years before Clint came back.

Didnt wanna have to be the nerd, BUT; nerd here ✋️ who is Garza talking to here? Who is is guest i mean

All the fucks arguing about click BS and backtracks are likely not musicians.

when slipknot fired Jay or let him go (however you wanna phrase it) i was completely shocked because Jay was a monster........i didn't realize how insane of a drummer Eloy was until I watched his cover of Herectic Anthem.....he brings a heavier punch to the band vs Jay (more savvy, clean) which really works with this era of Slipknot....Eloy is a BEAST

Corey’s vocals sound the best they’ve ever been. Hivemind is one of the heaviest songs they ever written. Slipknot is still on top 🤘

Is that the guy that went “daddy chill” ?

Yes, it feels like vol3 never existed.

Elroy is way good in slipknot, the drums are so powerful

The only way that a band can replace an iconic drummer, is to replace them with a drummer that’s better than that original player is. The options are so fucking small, but that’s the only choice. Look at Foo Fighters. Freese was pretty much the only guy that could replace Taylor.

Eloy made slipknot 100x better

NO

Is that Raymond herrera?

Slipknot haven't released a decent album since Iowa.

Hi, just popping in to say NO they are not the best they've ever been.

Or is Eloy better than ever? Slipknots getting old and they needed someone to spruce them up so why not feed off a young outstanding machine. Kinda sad

Judges... NO!

Is slipknot that 90's/2000's band with the silly mask . Haha if so , I hope they better. Can't get much worse

Even before watching the video, the answer is a BIG HELL NO. We should all know that the ORIGINAL, is ALWAYS the best and when Paul and Chris and Joey were no longer there, it wasn’t Slipknot anymore. They really should change the name, cuz they sound nothing like the original at all anymore. Unless Eloy helps write the next Iowa, it just another ploy… especially after the last few years of nothing but selfishness from Shawn. Shawn shouldn’t even be in the band, he’s completely useless.

Nah

Please, Slipknot's a bigger joke than ever. Respect to Eloy, but he took that job because he thought it would pay more than Andreas Kisser.

These dudes put on their old masks and all these people are convinced they are the best this the best that, they are no different then the last record they did, the first album was basically nu metal with blast beats, it’s not even close to their best work, the lyrics are juvenile

Saying slipknot is better without joey and paul could get you violated. Metal card revoked. Keep trucha, ese.

Slipknot will never be as good as the original 9. That’s just the way it is 🤷‍♂️

Hot take..jordison wasn’t that great, idk why people act like he was god or something. Just an another drummer imo
