Hey guys! I received a lot of hate after i talked about who I thought would be the PERFECT fit for SLIPKNOT now that Jay is gone and Joey is no longer with us. Watch the video, hear the facts and comment your thoughts. It makes PERFECT sense to me, does it to you? I'm reading you! Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and hit that LIKE! It really helps me with my work!

This video aged very well.

Looks like you were 100% correct. He just performed yesterday here with Slipknot in Vegas yesterday.

You are so right, welcome to slipknot Eloy

The thing about Joey was his sense of composition, push and pull, his suspense and how he just mixed it up, so many break-downs and various phases, there was something so compositionally exciting about Joey that went beyond his speed and technique that made him so unique. There are 15 year olds on youtube who are faster than Joey but I dont hear many drummers do what Joey did. This is what Slipknot I believe are looking for, that sense of excitement.

"and if I am wrong, please forgive me. I am human too. I love edibles and mushrooms" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The Quote of 2024 right there 🤪

his godfather in Metal must be proud of him... God bless Andre Matos

I saw Sepultura with Eloy and was blown away. The intensity of his rimshots alone...I've never seen anything like it

Eloy, would elevate Slipknot to a level of brutality never seen before! HYPE!!!

It's either Eloy or Meg White.

As a Brazilian citizen, I'm happy to hear this. Hope Eloy to become a Slipknot member soon too

Holy shit!!! I soooo hope you are right. And cannot wait to hear the new project! Thank you for always putting out amazing content and out of all the amazing drummers out there you are by far my favorite! Keep rocking out brother. P.S can’t wit to hear your new stuff and think you could step into any bands drum kit and make them better.

I saw Eloy when he was 15…he was on a drum clinic tour in America. He wasn’t really doing metal but this kid was better than 95% of drummers hope to be in the height of their careers

Es lo más probable!

Eloy and Casa Grande are two towns just south of Phoenix. Can't wait til they come to AZ to play!

Esteparioooooo, anoche ya dió su primer concierto con Slipknot Eloy Casagrande 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Don't listen to the haters my man

I'm so FUCKING HYPED to see Eloy beating those drums on slipknot, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. it is the beginning of a new era for him and the band!!!!

Glad you gave a great shout out to Greyson . Met him at the UK drum show. What a true gent.❤

Eloy is a next level beast! I hope you are right as well... could be an epic journey for Slipknot and Eloy.🤞

Leaving sepultura like that right before a giant farewell tour has to have some giant $$ implications. Hes got to be joining huge band that is helping pay those "buy out clause". That all said; "fortune favors the brave"

Eloy is an absolute BEAST on the drums. I love the way he hits, his technique, stamina and how effortlessly he executes the parts.

I mean he's already a perfect fit for Slipknot because how he left Sepultura :D Almost exactly from Slipknot's "How to handle business" guide book

I saw the Sepultura picked up Greyson Nekrutman, he’s a beast and will do great!

Eloy is ascending, before Sepultura he played with André Matos (ex-Angra, Shaman vocals), just when was a teenager he studied with Aquiles Priester, he lived for the drums since your childhood, he deserves to keep growing more and more, probably the decision of the end of sepultura has changed so many thoughts for him, and today i think: "He maded the right decision"

Voy iniciando en esto de la batería, y me inspiras mucho man:) te mando un abrazo, eres un grande! Me hypea tu nueva banda, sé que nos sorprenderás a todos.

Eloy it's IN! Sad for that.... Sepultura it's on farewell tour.... that was a painful hit... but... I understand Eloy's motivation. Here from Brazil!

I’ve loved slipknot since the self titled. Wait and bleed blew my mind! Iowa is one of the heaviest albums ever. Haven’t bought the last album but the grey chapter was great. Top 3 favorite bands ever behind nirvana and tool…. Having said that I hope slipknot hangs it up soon before they ruin the legacy. Too easy to become old men trying not to be…. That would kinda change the legacy and vibe. Let them new kids have their day. Great video! Don’t stop 👍

on one side i‘m very excited because eloy is my favorite drummer right now but on the other hand i think that he deserves better. i‘m kinda worried because of how slipknot treats their bandmembers.

Eloy .... 😮 That really would be an awesome fit. I'm a guitarist myself and not big into the whole Slipknot style. Same with Sepultura BUT back in their early days I jammed on them often. The percussion was the main reason. That stuff hits different. I love the "tribal" influence.

Dude Greyson in Sepultura and Eloy in Slipknot omg……. To think I saw both bands live at a festival back in 2004 😂 TWENTY YEARS and suddenly all feels fresh again

And Greyson is playing with Suicida Tendencies, one of my favorite band, What amazing news for everyone. Top drumers both

Because of your video about slipknot drummer the first time was how I found Eloy . He is incredible 😊

You are amazing, Brother. Love the new single. I don't particularly care at all about the Slipknot thing. You always make my and my drives way easier. U know ur bad ass. All I'm saying is, THANK YOU. I'm that guy who can hear it but can't do it. So frustrating. I'm a baseball guy and can turn around a 90+ mph fastball but the drum kit...Ugh. I digress. Keep it up, Champ. Ur the best around. One love, Paul in Ferndale, Washington state, USA.

You're so damn right that Eloy has probably already chosen his mask by now!

Nice to see your respect for our bands and our culture, saw you guy many times on short videos, keep it up

the next drummer will be fired

Ojalá!!! Porque Eloy es una bestia y uno de mis favoritos 😱

I love the 1st Phorm rep!!!

Siendo esa banda que llevo en el corazón desde adolescente. Mientras sigan haciendo esos drum cam que se escuchan bien.

Looking forward to the "I told you so" video

Sepultura is fuckin' crazy and I love it so much, but with Eloy behind that Slipknot's kit is awesome! By the way I'm Brazilian.

I totally agree with you bro. Eloy is a heavy hitting beast on drums. Amazing live too. I'd be surprised if Slipknot don't look at him or have him on their list. He would give a clear different direction that they are looking for

Love the new song!!! When can we expect a full album? I, personally, cannot wait.

Eloy is a MONSTER! I don't know where he's going to, but I'm sure I'm following him! Dude is an outstanding drummer, to say the least.

El Brujo! You were right!🤘🏼

Pensé exactamente lo mismo que tú en todo momento, cuando echaron a Jey pensé en Eloy, pero vi el post de la última gira y lo descarté, y hoy nada mas ver el anuncio de Eloy lo tenía clarísimo

Mate, this video made me respect you alot, no ego, no hate, no nothing. You are one of the best drummers out there and you stay humble.

They should bring Cavaleras on that farewell tour...

Now we know: you were right!

Everyone should watch Eloy’s Modern Drummer video from like 2005 when he was a teen. He’s always been incredible.

Makes total sense. Hopefully it does with Slipknot. I’m going to the metal festival Rockville in Florida in May - Slipknot is headlining that Sunday. Freaking AMPED

A Sepultura farewell tour NEEDED Eloy. He became the core of the band for over a decade. He revigorized those guys. Him joining Slipknot tho... That would be massive, and I cannot imagine how sick the band is going to sound like if he enters the studio with them. Shout out to Greyson. The kid is not only a prodigy, but he performs in such a killer way.

I haven't seen Slipknot live since Joey was in the band, and I didn't really have any desire to. This however, this changes things.

I love both and nothing would make me happier! I think you are right. You would also be amazing with them!

Before he was hyped up I once saw Eloy cover Meshuggah's Marrow. And he played it with so much power. That convinced me immediately that he could play anything.

It would complete the musical chair game (drum stool edition as it were) Jay - joins Suicidal Tendencies Grayson - joins Sepultura Eloy - Joins Slipknot.

Si no eres tu, es Eloy!

It’s insane it’s been 2 years since you’ve made the first video projecting this outcome🤝🤯

It's most likely!

Eloy is amazing and would be an incredible fit. That said, after listening to both of you for years now, I still think YOU were the better fit. No one has been innovating like you have recently.

This drumming is light years ahead of me, i'm from the Woodstock era, don't know any of these bands or drummers, just wanted to post a comment in support of The Man, El Este. 😉 ✌️

Concordo com sua analise, Estepario! Acho que faz MUITO sentido.

Sepultura replacing Eloy with Greyson is like replacing God himself with an altar boy

If Eloy joins Slipknot, not only will he elevate that band, but he may be the man that raises metal back to its former glory. His attitude is amazing and his ability shows most Americans something they could have never expected. Much of the South in the US has only caught glimpses of this level. I love Sepultura, but this must happen.

100% Agree with you Brother.. I was really starting to feel it all slipping away, Untill I Heard Eloy was leaving SEPULTURA a month or so ago.. Damn I'm Feelin Good now!! How about you guys

Eloy is absolutely amazing!

I have no problem with Eloy being the drummer for Slipknot, but cmon.... he's no Joey.

Now they just gotta get rid of Corey

Well they just played a small show and the BIGHOUSE was blasting the kit.

Eloy, pelo visto voce será no novo baterista da banda Slipknot, parabens! A torcida está se manifestando. Faça um ótimo trabalho!.

Thinking you hit the nail on the head ,love your drumming yah farking legend....

I agree excellent choice 👍

fckin awesome, the best youtube drummer talkin about the brazilian proud Eloy!! cheers!!

Viva Estpario!!

You were right , Slipknot drummer Eoly, just seen the first live show , 👏👏👏👏

I was on a tour called "THRASHFEST CLASSICS" back in 2011. The lineup was Exodus, Sepultura, Destruction, Heathen and Mortal Sin (my band). It was 40 shows across Europe in 40 days. That was a very young Eloy's first tour with Sepultura and he was relatively unknown in the metal world. Even then he had old veterans like myself, Tom Hunting and Nick Barker standing behind his kit with our jaws on the floor. He was a monster even at that young age. To see him now in the juggernaut that is Slipknot is amazing to me and they could not have made a better decision. Well done Eloy. You're where you deserve to be my friend

Eloy is a beast!

Omg i cant wait its crazy .makes my head spin who woulda thougt . Cant wait

I love Sepultura. I've seen them live!!! But that was in 2006, with their old drummer

Hi Jorge, I agree with you regarding Eloy possibly joining Slipknot, this would be huge! Also Greyson is an insteresting choice for Sepultura. Keep up the good work and thanks for your videos 🤘

You are right!

I only knew Greyson from his jazz stuff, I had no idea he played metal! Sick!

The shirt! Makes me love you even more man!🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

I hope is Eloy definitely my favourite metal drummer 🔥🔥🔥

Love the song. I will be listening for sure. There are many legendary drummers out there, you are crazy awesome, and a legend in the making. I’ve performed with tons of drummers and you are uncanny. I’m the last video you mentioned drummers to check out, some of the best drummers I’ve played with or seen were Dave Cosgrove from Alien Ant Farm, I know I know, prob a weird one, but this is one of those guys that when he’s playing he’s not even there, he’s effortless. Obviously Danny Carey, Charlie Benante, and John Tempesta. I know you’ve prob heard of those guys but those are some of the drummers that are wow factor. You are wow factor. I look forward to your videos, watch at least a couple a day even if I’ve seen them before. You are awesome. Have a great rest of your day!!

Considering all the circustances, this sounds to be right. The farewell sepultura tour was the only thing that could stopping him from joining slipknot. I love your content, man. Greetings from Brazil

I think you are correct. Hope slipknot is planning to come back with a bang. But what about Corey's currently released struggle? Could delay everything?

100% agree, I thought about your first video when I saw the news about Eloy earlier. I think he is way over the current Sepultura level. He deserves better.

I've been thinking Eloy since all this came to light. Totally agree with you here!

I agree he's a total beast and as a guitar player a good drummer makes you play different,gives you a different vibe just like Jay did.

Im with you, excited to see what is going to happen after Eloy joins in!!

Ya lo habia visto por primera vez en tus videos y me parecio una maquina infernal, y ojala sea que toque con Slipknot, me haria muy feliz, crucemos los dedos.

Feels like a MAJOR sports transfer, very excited to see this band elevate!

Your new single is sick man.

You're are the best man. I hope you're right and hope Slipknot uses this opportunity to make a lot of noise to announce Eloy . . . .the perfect feet . . . .tks man . . . .stay safe and sound . .

Qué tal? Estoy completamente de acuerdo con lo que has dicho. Será interesante ver si y cómo va a aplicar sus técnicas de batería en el estilo de slipknot, a ver si se queda con el 4/4 de Slipknot o no.

The excitement coming from your eyes when you speak about this is awesome 👌

I think you're right about Eloy and he will do a masterclass on the drums in Slipknot. On the other hand, saying he is the best metaldrummer and does stuff nobody else can... I can't agree on that haha. For example I think that Kevin Paradis is probably the most allround (extreme) metaldrummer out there.

Your a badass dude! Love all your videos 😊
