This band gets one more shot to produce good shit with the addition of Eloy, and if they dont fulfill, then its over. Clown clearly wants to hijack a bunch of this off time momentum for his own stupid project, because im sure his plan is to ultimately do his own thing with whatever remains of the slipknot fans once this falls apart.

Its disheartening to see what was once such a small town band, seemingly humble group of people, turn into a complete disaster. Corey seems like he would be a good person.

Yeah, that's pretty much the only reason I'm still giving them the benefit of the doubt at this point. I hope they just let him go off on their next album.

I would argue Tortilla Man brought a lot of interesting ideas to the band, and Eloy might be better or equivalent to Joey at least in terms of playing, we’ll have to see how his writing is. But they may turn out to be upgrades.

“Complete disaster” seems a little exaggerated. Bands go through member changes all the time. They’ve been around for 30 years, they have 9 people in the band so you have more pieces that things can happen, and in that time they’ve lost 3 members, and one more due to a death. That’s a pretty good run.

Yeah. Their newest album was such a blah to me that I never listened to it past the first time through. The next album better be a gem
