The Downbeat Podcast - Jay Weinberg (Slipknot)

My guest this week is Jay Weinberg, drummer for Slipknot.
Coming from a musical background, (his Dad is Max Weinberg of The E Street Band) Jay is a super humble, hospitable human and phenomenal drummer. We talked about his time in Slipknot of course but also about learning 200+songs for Bruce Springsteen at 16 years old. We also chat about drums, tattoos, doom metal, and much much more.
This episode of the Downbeat is the first of a trip to Nashville, which was actually born out of Jay himself expressing an interest in doing the show.
Thanks to the patreon we were able to make it work.
Quick shout out to Juhani Vuorisalo, who offered to be the Colorist for the Nashville footage.
That's why it look like a movie! www.juhanivuorisalo.fi

What a sick looking set, surely that was a stress free process to put together

Honestly Craig is so lucky it's all on rails at this point, he can really just relax and cash in on the former grind.

Prior to the podcast he had the most relaxing week ever, he said.

I'm thankful I got to see Jay live in March at Melbourne Knotfest, I can rest easy knowing I got to see that legend live in the flesh- his precision, poise and creativity elevated The Knot more than anybody could ever hope to achieve. It's bittersweet, they booted both drummers who both ended up being generational talents for the same band- but I know Jay will be an upgrade for literally all bands he decides to play on with, he's still young in his music career and I have nothing but love for him, he got me started in drumming.

Grew up with Conan O'Brien and always gravitated towards Max. It's incredible to see Jay carrying the torch in such an epic way. Jay has had enormous shoes to fill in so many ways. It's amazing to see how down to earth he is. Would be totally understandable if he had developed an ego to go with all the success.

Now, 2h in knowing Craig was drinking this algae stuff every day out in a Nashville, plus went out every day, I can’t help what his gut is feeling right there. Interview was awesome.

I think what really makes this podcast is that Craig has a lot of experience in the subjects he talks about with his guests. He's a musician, he's toured a lot, he runs a business, he knows a lot of people in the industry so he can ask very good questions which often lead down tangents but are still so very informative and entertaining. Compare that to other interviewer/podcasts who's main experience is being a journalist you end up with questions like "who are your top 5 dictators" 😂

I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't like Slipknot (I know, I know), but this was a great episode. Jay seems like a cool dude. I don't know 300+ of any songs, and I couldn't imagine trying to learn that at 17. My ass would have had an anxiety attack just from trying to process playing for Bruce. Hell even for Slipknot! Toss in no click track, the riser, the heat, the costume. Fuuuuuck me. Leading up to this, I saw a few comments complaining about nepotism. That might have opened the door for him, but nepotism didn't learn that insane set list. Nepotism didn't land his current gig. Jay's hardwork and dedication did. People just love to hate. Especially in the metal world. Crack episode. The set looks great! Really does have a movie vibe going on. Can't wait to be drip fed the rest of the Nashville run.

@markpriss 8 ай бұрын

I don’t think it’s that uncommon to not like Slipknot these days… they have not been releasing good stuff for a minute. To many only first 2 records are considered good. For me it’s the first 3… after I have not been able to get into majority of their stuff. All in all it’s a matter of preference

Found out about Stray from the Path, and it's fucking heavy. In the heart-hitting heavy. Loved the interview with Ali, just wanted to come back to listen to the last 20mins of that interview to then see - Jay motherfucking Weinberg in my feed. On your podcast!! Craig, I'm so fucking stoked to have found out about your stuff. Much love from Switzerland, dude! Cheers and thanks for doing this.
