Which drummer do you prefer? Joey or Jay and why?

The saddest thing is that we’ll never see Joey playing drums for Slipknot again, it’s a real shame

RIP JOEY JORDISON.. he's the reason why I fell in love with slipknot

I went to high school with Joey, he actually graduated with my older brother. He was a good kid, and I still remember him talking in art class about how much better of a drummer he was than Lars from Metallica. Then, all those years later, he fills in for Lars on a tour in Europe for several shows. Always a great accomplishment for a kid from Waukee Iowa! Best to Joey!

Fuck man, seeing this after Joeys death really hurts..

"I'm glad they're carrying on the name, because what's important is the fans" at least Joey was never blinded by fame or money, he just cared about writing and playing great music for the fans to enjoy.

I saw Joey drum for korn. It was absolutely insane

I can’t believe Joey is gone now. This hurts so much.

I came here because I found out that Joey has just passed away. RIP Legend

The most genuine guy in Slipknot. I've always looked up to him since I was 11... The thing that most people don't realise is that he wasn't only a drummer, he was one of the main songwriters as well. The last 2 albums have been great but I can definitely sense the changes in the songwriting quality since he left. No matter how great Jay is,, Joey is the real shit.

I literally started listening to Slipknot because of Joey's drumming style.

im still at a loss that joey is gone, he was so talented and now it's only preserved through his old bands songs.

I’ll never be able to forgive Slipknot for the way they treated Joey. He was the heart & soul of that band. Rest in power king. You didn’t deserve to be treated as disposable by the people who you considered family. We love you! You will never be forgotten.

Joey is, to me, the face of Slipknot. He was T H E drummer everyone my age looked up to when I was growing up. Edit: I hate that I have to edit this... RIP Joey...

We will miss Paul, we will miss Chris, But we will definitely miss Joey...

11:52 - His quote really hits me the most. Regardless whatever shit was thrown to him (idk by the band or management or record label or what not), and the condition that he had to go through, he clearly missed the band so much and still held them dearly. He even bears no grudge to Slipknot as a whole. He is such a gem. He will forever be missed. Rest in peace, Champ.

Imagine giving your whole spirit and youth to a band throught all those years of dedication and at the final day you receieve an email saying you are out of the band ! I know joey was hurting so bad ... may he rest in peace now legend.

They haven't been the same since, his drumming was a huge part of the band's personality.

Slipknot to joey: "Sorry Joey, business is buisness." Slipknot have become that which they claim to hate.

wow, fired him by email believing his skills were hindering from drugs, instead of asking a friend are u okay, whats going on, what can we do? seriously makes me hate one of my childhood bands a little bit, RIP joey your name and talent is eternal. love u bro

Them firing him for having transverse myelitis Is even more tragic now that he's lost his life to it

Never forget meeting Slipknot. Joey was the first to approach us and say hi. Was a really cool guy and an awesome drummer. First 2 albums are the best.

Joey will always be "the one". PERIOD!!

Sacking someone by email who’s been in the band for 18 is bad news behavior ;

If no one in the band ever reached out over the years or said they were sorry or anything, they are going to be carrying a weight for the rest of their lives that will burden them without end…

I miss Joey though. I was hurt when I heard they had fired Joey and to me it was never that same without him. I have grown to like Jay but still not the same for me.

11:55 This hits so different now. That would have been crazy if a reunion actually happened. R.I.P. Joey.

Holy shit I was just watching this yesterday…only to find out today that this legend is no longer with us. Rest in power JJ.

Dude was selfless and classy , huge loss. Rip

Slipknot is a business; love the original band

You think as a founding member Joey would’ve at least deserved to mourn the loss of Paul Gray along with the rest of the band on The Gray Chapter. They really were the backbone of the band and it feels contrived without them

So to save you time, Joey had a rare neurological disorder which at the time was undiagnosed, the band assumed that he was doing drugs and fired him to I guess get him to get clean. They literally fired him over a EMAIL, which I’d imagine definitely ticked him off. Couple years later, Joey was officially diagnosed with the disorder and apparently there was only like one member (it was either Sid or Jim) who visited him in the hospital. Despite this, Joey still wished them the best. I can get what was going through there heads at the time, but the fact that they fired him over EMAIL and didn’t even give him a chance to explain himself or anything is definitely super messed up, and I expect more out of them. It was also pretty messed up that (reportably) only one member bothered to visit him (granted, apparently Corey did once say that he was planning on calling him but didn’t have the time). RIP Joey, you where a absolute legend

“Why they fired joey” “Joey was born in...” Just get to the point 🤦🏻‍♂️, I don’t need his life story to hear why he left.

If this says anything different from 'legs died' then this will be legendary

It's sad that they fired the exact man that made slipknot that big, no joke when you heared about slipknot back then everyones next thought was "joey.." he formed slipknot and the sound they had..

If only they would have reunited. Rest in Power Joey I hope Paul welcome you with open arms.

Rest in Power Joey Jordison! Heaven's got a hell of a band right now! You will be missed dearly!

"All the money in the world can't buy me" Guess they were just kidding...

It is outrageous and shameful what they did to Joey.

RIP Joey. Gone too soon but never to be forgotten .

RIP Joey the legend, the fact that kicked out the founding member over email is just sad.

What hurt me the most is back when no one knows what happen to joey (and he was starting Scar), people fking hated that shlt and bombed his career, while he was fighting the disease at the same time.

No Paul no Joey no Chris no Slipknot.

When I heard the news about Joey being fired by e-mail, I stopped listening and supporting the band. You can't just fire someone like Joey who put his heart to the group. He was not only the drummer, but also a composer, a writer and one of the funding members. He is also the person who sketched the iconic logo, the tribal S. He really believed in the project and gave 100% of his dedication to it. I still have no clue what "The Gray Chapter" or the other album I don't even know the title of sound like. I wish things went differently. Joey is no longer with us and this makes me a bit sadder every day that passes. He didn't deserve to be fired from Slipknot, he didn't deserve to die so young and with such a horrible desease. Dear Joey, the metal community is mourning your loss. We love you, may God bless your soul 🖤

This video hits different now... Rest in peace Joey

joey was the coolest member of all. I hope you guys don't tell me bad things about him.

I am so lucky to witness SlipknoT before Paul passed on. One of the most amazing experiences in my life. Joey was a part of me growing up and I will be eternally thankful for that. Love you #1!

Jay can do his thing, but he'll always be just doing his best to fill Joey's shoes. Joey was THE drummer for Slipknot. I always held out hope that he'd return to the throne onstage with the nine, but now all hope truly IS gone.

The drummer of the band that introduced me to music. RIP Joey. Heartbreaking.

it doesn't matter what anyone says Joey will always be the goat at drumming

I was surprised to learn how short Joey Jordison is, doesn't matter to me he's a cool drummer.

As a girl it wasn’t normal for some people “to listen to music like this”. Joey was the reason why I fell in love with Slipknot when I was younger and I never stopped loving them -especially this weird drummer guy. I feel so lucky that I saw him doing his magic live. I cannot believe he is gone. Rest in peace Joey. There will never EVER be no one like you.

Joey will always be my slipknot R.I.P BRO

Bring him and Fehn back for the next, final album.

Joey is the heart of slipknot without him still slipknot is nothing

Rest In Peace! What a great drummer he was. Very sad he is gone.

“Why sklipknot fired Joey” proceeds to go through the history of the band

"As soon as we can say something we will" I'm still waiting...

Didnt you forget to mention that he also was a founding member of Murderdolls?

Just got the news that Joey just died an hour agooo, i never knew this could happen, RIP Joey....

Rip Joey. I wish you could’ve played with Slipknot again 🤍

When I hear Joey’s reason is “health” but then from James Root, “someday I might be able to talk about it......”, that makes me think that something else is up.

Sad day, Rest In Peace Joey. You will always be a legend in my eyes.

I just cried seeing this. Thank you Joey....you will be missed my brother. Descansa em paz. Rest in peace my brother.

So they kicked Nathan for doing drugs yet mourn Paul grey for a drug overdose RIP Nathan Jonas "Joey" Jordison. You were and always will be a legend and loved by many, you were and still are my idol drummer. Rest easy king

They really fumbled the bag with firing Joey

After iowa slipknot was never the same for me...and plus 2 of the original musicians not being part of it even more makes it not the same..it was so amazing while it lasted

Now that Joey's gone I've grown more upset with the band as joey was without his biggest love for the rest of his life. I still love slipknot and I think they found the perfect drummer if it wasn't going to be joey. I hope they had at least talked and healed all wounds before his passing.

RIP to this absolute legend.

Joey is my all time favorite musician, he did so much more than just drumming for the band.

That was a really messed up way to fire a member they could have at least called the poor guy that really stinks.

He was so nice and humble, sad sad day

Miss the small power house that he was ! R.I.P. JOEY ! 😢

No replacement can ever compare to Joey Jordison!!!!

I have him inked on my calf for a reason... absolutely unique drummer with his own style. He’s my role model. Not just because of his drumming. He is a fighter

It’s really gross how they treated him. Just fired him assuming it was drugs instead of asking if he was okay and asking what they could do. And then firing him by email and not talking to him after that. Sadly, he’s no longer here, and they will never get the opportunity to make amends with him. I have always had a large respect for Slipknot and Corey, but yeah the way they handled the Joey situation is gross.

Rest in peace, Joey

Since Joey's departure, slipknot hasn't been the same, and imo, the even kinda lost an identity in their sound. Sad

RIP Joey you were a part of my musical inspiration and you were one of the most influential drummers out there. Damn

Anybody here after Joey's passing? This man was a complete legend in the drummer world, as an inspiration to many including myself, R.I.P

I thought this would have new information. I literally knew and heard everything in this video already. I was a HUGE Joey fan. He was my favorite member. I just want to know why. I want to hear it from Clowns mouth.

And now he's reunited with Paul Gray 😢😢😢😢

Joey Jordison was always my favorite & it broke my heart to hear of his passing. I stopped listening to Slipknot beyond All Hope Is Gone cuz I didn’t feel it was right they continued without Paul Gray. But then they kicked Joey out & I was so upset I refused to listen to any of the new material. I’ve loved Slipknot since I was a kid. So this was hard to get news of

No one will ever be as good as Joey jordison was rip Joey this hurts

It really sucks how they left him behind, still miss this guy and it's sad I'll never be able to see him playing for Slipknot live...

his remarkable effort on debut till vol 3 are unforgettable and makes slipknot stand out as a band

The reason I fell in love with Slipknot's music is because of Joey. It was my high school days when I first heard Joey's double pedal and it sounded like a effing machine gun!

Just found out he died last night, Rest easy buddy, We all loved you Joey!!!

I play Joey riffs on the kit constantly

I know a lot of people have a soft spot for Jay but they need to get Joey back provided he is healthy enough to play. It's what Paul would have wanted🤘

It was an honor to see Joey play. I was 16 years old at my first outdoor festival and this man hung upside down spinning around playing the drums so profoundly I couldn’t even head bang. I just stood in absolute awe of the talent pouring out of this small man strapped to a giant drum set, feeling the beat of every pound deep in my heart. I knew I was metal head girl from that day on. My heart goes out to all the people mourning this incredible artist. RIP #1.

I remember seeing him play for satyricon when they came to the states in 2010 , I actually got to talk to him and never knew he was in slipknot lol

His drumming was as important to Slipknot as Chris Adler's drumming was for Lamb Of God. Without the two of them, those are entirely two different versions of the band. I prefer the Coca Cola versions, not this new coke stuff.

Started listening to Slipknot due to Joey. He’s a legend and can never be disassociated from Slipknot.

00:15 This clip already bummed me out the first time I watched this video, because of Paul. But now it’s worse because they’re both gone.

as a guitarist looking for a band i wish i had a drummer like him❤❤

I was born in 2006, I’m 14 years of age, and grew up on All Hope is Gone. Joey is the reason I am a drummer, and why I still play the drums. Joey is my favorite drummer(mind you Jay is a close second) but Joey is my man if you will. He is the reason I’m still into metal the way I am

There was absolutely zero news that we haven't heard in years. None.

It makes me so heartbroken that people, such as me, were hoping that he would be able to re-join and connect with the band, again. I had a pretty similar reaction to Paul's and Joey's passing. I cried my eyes out, I know I didn't really know them, but it was like parts of my childhood were just broken, and they can't be fixed. Rest softly and peacefully, Joey and Paul 🖤❤

That last quote you had in here from him tears me up now. So very very sad and tragic. 😢
