when i was 17, Joey Jordison called my house and talked to me on the phone for about an hour. he was promoting the Slipknot fan club after their first album released, and he was trying to get me to be part of the fan club team because one of my good friends was also on the team. he was soooooooo humble and down to earth and actually seemed interested in talking to me. we talked about all kinds of random shit, like 2 friends just shooting the breeze. then he sent me a huge box of Slipknot merchandise for free in the mail. i have major respect for this dude. he's truly a great guy.

RIP king

It’s weird to think he’s dead. I never got a chance to meet him but holy shit I really loved him. I hope he’s in peace

Slipknot was Joey’s baby. This hurts man. You’re always going to be in our hearts Joey.

The respect he has for slipknot even after how they fired him says a lot about Joey as a person. You will live on forever. Safe travels Joey

RIP to this Legend *He was Metallica's best drummer*

RIP Joey. You will be missed. Such a nice approachable presence.

This man inspired an entire generation and now he is gone.

I love how joey still has so much respect for Slipknot and it's members even after being fired in such a way. Amazing person.

I was waiting for joey to start singing freak on a leash with that track suit

Dude… watching him after his death is painful.

Rest easy. The drummer that needed a muscle disease to postpone his drumming.

what a humble guy. No rockstar pose, no ego. Says it like it is and gives you the correct facts straight up. Talented guy.

it’s honestly so disgusting to see so many people make an attempt to tear down this man, joey is so fucking talented and has been through so much with the way he was fired from slipknot & then having to deal with his illness to people body shaming a man who is almost in his 50s because he doesn’t look how he did almost 30 years ago. people fucking disgust me.

Anyone else sobbing over a Joey marathon? he was one of the reasons I got into metal back in his early Slipknot days.. Seeing his passing is just too much..

Joey was the reason I started listening to metal. Joey was the reason I picked up the sticks and started learning drums. Thank you for being the Drum God you are. May your soul rest in power.

You can tell he really misses Slipknot. Feel bad for him.

I wanna see this with Craig Jones

That laugh at 12:37 is so pure and genuine. Joey truly was a wonderful person.

May this Incredibly talented Drummer rest in peace. We know that he is up in heaven jamming with Paul, and all the other metal artists who had passed away Rest in peace. Joey Jordison 1975-2021

Unreal- a true loss to the community, RIP Joey and Mike Howe.

R.I.P. Joey Jordison. One of the greatest drummers in modern metal history. Condolence to his family.

Watching videos of Joey and crying. Life is unfair.

RIP Joey. What’s really heartbreaking in this interview is that you can tell that he misses Slipknot. He had such a genuine passion for the music and the fans that very few musicians have. Never forgotten

Reading a lot of hate here concerning Joey's weight, teeth, etc. all the treatments for his condition, medicines, and bed rest has taken a toll on him. Give the man a break.

I like how he didnt mention Slipknot in the start

Joey isn’t dead, he is alive in our hearts

And after all of that ,i still can't believe he is no longer with us...RIP Joey 💔🙏

I don't don't know why people give him shit, he seems like a chilled humble fella.

GUYS LISTEN UP Just because Joey grew up, grew older and had life experience, doesnt warrant you insulting him. HE LOOKS GREAT HE LOOKS HEALTHY AND HE LOOKS HAPPY AND THATS WHAT MATTERS

Crazy that he was gone just three years later. RIP legend!

I'm crying. What sweet of a Guy. Deep down he was still sad for how things turned out. Did Corey and Shawn boot him because they thought he was on drugs? Are you freaking kidding me? That's adding insult to injury. You can still tell on this interview Slipknot is still part of him. I'm deeply sad. Rest in peace brother.

Here after reading about his passing. This one's gonna be hard to process. RIP

It still breaks my heart to not hear him say he's from slipknot...

Dammit man! RIP JOEY!!! A true idol and historically talented musician! Hands down the greatest drummer of our generation!

This hurts man. Rest In Peace Joey…

People, respect that he has changed physically. He went through really hard times with his illness and gained weight. That added to his age, it makes him change. No one remains the same forever, especially when you are sick.

I think it says a lot that I've never really heard Joey, at least recently as far as I know, say anything negative about anyone or anything. Especially Slipknot. He always speaks very highly of everyone, even though he has reason to do the opposite. Says a lot about his character and just who he is in general. While I don't him personally, he seems like an incredible humble, kind, respectful person. More people need to be like that...just kind, decent human beings. If anything, he's just shy and awkward in situations like this, which to be fair...a lot of us are, and he's definitely an introvert. There's nothing wrong with that at all. It's easy to say things behind a screen about someone we don't even know. Reminder that Joey is human. He's been through a lot, just like a lot of us. He may not be at his prime anymore, but he's still kicking and honestly looking good all things concerned with medication. He seems happy. He seems at ease and at peace with what has happened. I admire and respect the absolute hell out of this dude. He could have an ego...but he doesn't. Just listen to what he says and how he says it. He's just really, really, really passionate. Above all...he loves the absolute hell out of his fans and supporters and does all he can to give back to them and is always around whenever he's touring. I've even heard of him stopping, chatting, and taking photos with fans even when he's out and about not on tour or anything to do with it. He doesn't care. He'll give you his undivided attention. He's a dope guy. He really is. That's all I'm saying. I hate reading all the negative shit about him, especially on aspects of his appearance. Just stop. There's no need for that...give the guy a break.

Such a talented musician, I truly hope he’s in a better place now, he didn’t deserve the bad things that happened to him, he’s genuinely such a nice and down to earth person, I don’t understand how anyone could not like him, amazing guy, may he rest in peace 💕

I can't believe he's not with us anymore. Rest easy, superball.

If Vinnie Paul & Jonathan Davis had a kid..

Joey is such an awesome drummer. I've seen him without his mask several times before, but there was always something about his mask that made me subconsciously think it was what he looked like. I mean out of all the members of Slipknot his mask was the most "natural" one. I'm talking ofc of the time before they revealed themselves, I must have been in Junior High back then.

Rest in peace man, you will always be remembered not only as a musician, but mostly as an amazing person. We will miss you Joey

RIP Joey… one of the best drummers and people out there

SLIPKNOT will never be the same without him.

Man I know he may look a little bigger and whatever, but Joey is just so down to earth and seems like a kick ass guy to sit down and talk to. Thanks so much Loudwire!

He was so humble and helped forge this interview . A rock star without the ego. Such a great person . I’ve never seen a more grateful human given his stature

RIP Joey. I’m still in a complete state of shock and disbelief that you’re gone.

"Very True"-Joey Jordison

Joey jordison is how I got into Slipknot, which got me into metal

I rarely get affected when a famous person dies, but Joey's passing left me genuinely heartbroken. He was a legend and came across as such a kind and genuine guy. RIP Joey, there'll be no other like you

I’m watching these videos of Joey… and it hurts, but I also get a sense of comfort seeing him talk and just be his amazing sweet self and it’s beautiful to see. I never met him, I really wanted to someday and I’m crushed that I won’t be able to, I’m still back and forth being shocked and feeling sad about him being gone. Rest In Peace angel ✨💝😇💝🌟

This may sound stupid, but when he introduced himself I actually thought he was gone say “Hey everybody, my name is Joey Jordison from the band Vimic and also the band Slipknot and you’re watching Loudwire.” You can tell he misses being in Slipknot Edit: Now that the most depressing news possible has come out, this video hits different

I love how Joey still wears the ADIDAS track suits.

Im so sad ive just been watching joey videos for like 40 minutes now. i cant get over it. rest in peace Joey

RIP 💔💔💔

he never got to play with slipknot one more time as he requested. rest in peace man we will miss you💔🕊

Joey looking like he's about to play in Korn.

i can't even wrap my head around the fact that he's really gone. it doesn't even feel real. it's only been a few days and i never even met him but i already miss him so much. rest easy, joey! ❤️

Wow. Rest In Peace Joey. I can't believe your gone. Rock on man.

Finally Joey! First time saw him laugh 12:35

I love how he gives the band credit for using the name “slipknot “ and not jus taking credit for him self for people thinking he came up with the name . Suck a loyal guy .

RIP a legend. Had such insane drumming talent and humble attitude. Rest well, Joey.

This shit hurts, man. Would loved to have seen you behind the kit of the knot again. Honoured to have been witness to your greatness, Joey. Rest in power, Brother. Thank you for everything 🤘🏼🖤

Now get: -M. Shadows -Metallica (James, Lars, or Kirk) -Iron Maiden (Bruce, Steve, Adrian, Dave, or Nicko) -Tony Iommi -Joe Elliott -Tobias Forge -Mikkey Dee -Till Lindemann -any or all members of Rush -Rudolf Schenker or Klaus Meine -Michael Schenker -Joe and/or Mario Duplantier -Marty Friedman -Mick Thomson -Jim Root

Joey was a huge influence to me. He got me into drumming, and I'm glad he was able to overcome his illness. He's been through alot physically and emotionally, not being able to do what you love must have been torture. Glad he's back and doing music again.

I'm so devastated by this news and I hope nothing but the best for his family and friends. Rest in piece Joey you were a beast.

RIP Joey. You were a true gentleman and loved your family unconditionally

Slipknot without Joey, Chris, and Paul. Isn't the same. But I will keep on listening to them make music. R.I.P Paul Gray 😭

I was working at GC Hollywood when he came in for a fan signing before a Slipknot show. I was standing near him to keep people on check along with his security guards and what I assume was a runner. I remember someone coming up to him telling him it was almost time to go because he needed to prepare for the show. He asked how many people are left, and got the answer that there's still a few people wrapped around the corner of the store. He said, once I get to every fan then we can leave. Great dude and very friendly

R.I.P Joey Jordison. You will always be remembered, we love you man. I hope your up there rocking out with Paul. Say Hi to him for us.

He didn't "look" like he'd be one of our favorite drummers. He played like a damn superhero. Seemed like such a normal, music loving guy. I'm glad he isn't sick anymore. I will miss his talents.

Killer drummer and such a sweet dude :) Cheers Joey!!

Joey being one of the most well known drummers in modern rock, he is extremely down to earth and polite. Have to respect him for staying humble.

Such a cool, laid back, dude. Rip Joey. Legend.

3:15 Joey's Mom and Stepdad are good people....his stepdad played yakkity sax for me at their kitchen table. I feel horrible for his Sisters..they all were super close. First and only time I spent getting drunk for a full week was with his Sister. Great great people. RIP Joey.

So basically Joey grew up pretty well off and very humble. I really like that about some musicians. Stay true to your roots. ✊

I just hope that Joey and Slipknot didn't end off in bad terms..Like i get that they thought he was on drugs...but i feel like now that they know about the disease that everything should be good with all the guys

RIP Joey. Say hi to Paul from all of us.

I don't comment much, but rest in peace Joey. We will always love and miss you.

We miss him in Slipknot :c Scrap that, We miss him. Fuck. Rip, Joey - The Legend #1 - Jordinson

RIP Joey. You were an inspiration to many!

Watching in 2021 - Rest In Peace to one hell of an awesome drummer.

The brightest candle Burns out faster Rest in power joey, your inspiration will always live in our hearts and mind 🙏🙏🙏

Not into Slipknot so much these days but this guy was my idol when I was a kid. His drumming blew my little mind and got me into drumming and I still play drums today so got a lot of respect for this guy. 26 now but was 8 when I first heard them. So good to watch this and see he's a real down to earth sound guy, it's a real shame he got dropped from Slipknot.

Stop commenting about his weight! So what if he's overweight? Paul (

R.I.P. my dude, I'm sure your aware of all the lives you saved with your music and how many kids you inspired to be drummers. I was that kid. You saved my life with Slipknots music and inspired me to become a drummer. You'll always be my #1

He's seriously gonna be missed man 😥 this was a good interview. Joeys a fucking LEGEND

Do sid wilson next !!!!!!!!!!

Slipknot and Joey need to come to an agreement and get together again :(

Joey Jordison is no more with us. Rest in Peace.

I'm a young and new fan and I'm discovering this whole new world everyday, I feel like when you see an enormous fest with all this scrumptious food and you don't know where to start because you're fascinated. I can't say I really know Joey since I have tons of things to learn about him. Yet, I can tell how humble, well spoken and talented this man is. Everyday he has me wondering more about the band, the songs, how he was and his story. I think I'm loving him so much and I'm extremely sad that I would never have the opportunity to see him. He came to my country a couple of times (of course I didn't know about this) and the last time he talked with the fans and offered an acustic mini concert at the hotel, he was so down to earth with them... I can tell how you will be remembered for everything you did for this word with your talent Joey, I truly admire you.

Joey didn't need to introduce himself past his name, anyone at this channel who doesn't know him doesn't deserve to be here.

RIP JOEY… One of the greatest to ever do it.

Rest in Peace, Joey ❤️🕊 Thank you for everything.

very energetic personality, full of passion for what he did.. RIP, Legend! Gone too soon

i would love to see this man in concert, either in vimic or sinsaenum. he's just so incredibly humble, honest, and talented. edit: rest in peace, joey. we love you so much.

Sounds like he really misses Slipknot. It would be awesome if he atleast got to play a tour with them again

I miss this man so much. So sweet and so kind. Such passion for music

He is so nice and seems so happy It's sad that some of us will never get chance to meet him, RIP legend
