    I could take it or leave it with them parting ways with Craig. But Jay has become such an essential part of their new sound, and he was the perfect successor to Joey. If it turns out that it was amicable and that Jay left on his own terms, that's fine. But he was literally just playing with them FRIDAY, and he just changed his profile after Halloween back to his Slipknot attire. It's not likely he wasn't kicked.

    Theres just no way that Jay left the band, he was definitely fired because of that Corey/Clown dictatorship within the band. Jay loved Slipknot, Jay worked so hard to be in Slipknot and did an absolutely incredible job in the band. He was so proud of his work, proud of his masks, proud of his legacy, and most importantly, he was voted best drummer 2 years in a row. I believe that he was fired to make room for other musicians that Shawn knows from previous bands or because of jealousy from Shawn. For Slipknot then to mention Joey in the statement as if Jay was only there to fill Joey's shoes and not create his own legacy, and to mention Joey as if Slipknot didn't kick him out and say bad things about him in the past before Joey died, is such a low blow to Joey's name and Jay's efforts. I know that many people love Slipknot and probably won't feel the same feeling I have about the band especially while knowing that Slipknot will continue, but if Slipknot disbanded today, I wouldn't care, and I would be absolutely fine with it. 3 firings in 4 years tells us that there is a massive problem within the band that isn't something to do with the guys that were fired. Shawn takes a lot of time off from the band and in my opinion, has a very small contribution to the band these days. I think that he knows that perfectly well and fires people to make room for his friends so that Slipknot can never fire him. They also only just finished the tour cycle for The End, So Far this past week. This was definitely orchestrated by certain other individuals. The whole thing about "creative differences" and Slipknot wanting to "evolve" is just disrespectful, Jay Weinberg is the kind of person who would have done anything for Slipknot, even if it meant changing styles, writing songs that were different from anything they've done before, and changing image, he is wholesome, he is a family man but was so dedicated to Slipknot, he is so diverse and took on every challenge handed to him. Those words alone in that statement tell me that they are replacing him with someone else and the last time Slipknot fired someone and had a replacement on hand, was the Chris Fehn/Tortilla man thing, and Tortilla man came directly from Shawns other band 🤷🏼‍♂️

Hell, at my peak when I was playing all of the time, Slipknot songs were rather easy for me to play. FUN to play, yes. But still easy. I probably would have a hard time now that I haven't played much at all in the past 4 years, but still. And these freaks of nature metal drummers make me feel like I've never played in my life LOL! Start with David Diepold or Eugene Ryabchenko. Alan Cassidy, Shannon Lucas, Alex Rudinger, Adam Bjork, 66Samus, Kevin Paradis, Dan Presland, Krimh, and the list goes on and on.

    also do "THREE NIL" probably the most underrated song from the same album one of their best and most underrated songs overall that doesn't get enough love, also they're from 2004!!! 19 years ago! Some of their earlier work, the instrumental is amazing and Corey sounds really young which I rly like, not trying to compare this "new" Slipknot from nowadays to the old Slipknot but like the old Slipknot just hits different, these 2 songs are SO headbanger!

    Corey openly said earlier this year that he probably only has 3-5 more years left in Slipknot before he retires because of his health. With half of the original band gone, I don't think they much care about cohesiveness or maintaining a vision. They've become impulsive. It's natural. When you invest everything in a vision and then something damages it or it transforms into something different, you throw your hands up in the air and cease caring about the original vision and just go with the flow regardless of where it takes you. Sad, but it is what it is. Slipknot fans shouldn't be too surprised these days.

  • @michaeltunnicliffe4935

    Wild speculation time. Slipknot were incredibly excited to get their last album out of the way because it meant ending their contract with Roadrunner Records. And they even gave their album the name The End, So Far. This was said to be a nod to the changing of direction, the end of one life as a Roadrunner Artist and the start of a new life, free to make whatever albums they want without being obliged to make them. So i suspect that this is Slipknot making some huge change. I dont know what it is, but maybe they want to go in directions they couldnt before and maybe those changes means downsizing the band and calming down, a decision that certain members (Jay) might not be down with. Or maybe they want to go this new direction with only classic memebers of the band, though with Joey no longer being with us, they need a drummer of some sort so god knows why they'd drop Jay. Its a story which i think might have many mor layers to it, yet to be revealed

    WE are LOSING our members,
    Paul, Joey, Craig, Jay, Chris.... What is this Slipknot? This isnt the Slipknot i used to like
    Edit: I know Paul and Joey passed away, I know that I'm not saying the others died, I'm just saying we are losing the band members,
    Listening to Only One when Corey Clown and Chris scream "ONLY ONE OF US WALKS AWAY" is like "no, 5 of you walked away

    I rarely comment, i recently became a massive fan of slipknot this past week. Listening to all there songs and watching there live performances. Went through the history of slipknot and learning about the passing of Joey and Paul. Learned about the departures and then boom... This happens... Bloody mental mate.

    Imagine spending that amount of time with people over the course of 10 years, touring the world with them, writing material and then one day, right after playing a festival you get a phonecall, probably from management (not the actual band,) telling you you're done, unemployed.
    One positive is that a huge amount of the drumming community has shown support for jay including zildjian, his endorsed cymbal company. New drummer rumoured to be jeramey kling

    Slipknot’s latest album name actually predicted the future, except for the end so far it’s just the end. Shawn has completely lost it at this point. Jay would never leave the band willingly, I think he’s one of the youngest in the band as well. I can’t believe what Slipknot has become over the years, and I was a new fan too. In just a few years the band will probably change the name to The Shawn Band. Since when did Shawn become the leader in the band anyways? He didn’t even start the band. Shouldn’t the band make all decisions together? This was definitely a money move made by Shawn. But who knows, hopefully I’m wrong but my point still stands, Shawn has become the bands leader and he can just pick whoever he wants out of the band. I’m not supporting the direction this band is taking, either something changes or… Well it’s the end.
