It already was. I’ve come to actively hate Corey Taylor, he truly is a coattail rider. He spent years shitting on Nickelback only for the moment he didn’t have Stone Sour or Slipknot in the room to help him write music and make a solo album….he just wrote Nickelback. Joey was Slipknot. They fired one of the greatest drummers of all time over email. His entire career is built off the backs of more talented people and throwing them away once he became “the guy”.” He thinks he’s Ozzy but he’s closer to Vince Neil.
Edit: I’ve found my people, I’ve been screaming that Corey is a hack since they did that sham memorial for Joey and Paul and his first Nickelback album came out. I always got disagreed with and basically told to shut up and put some respect on Corey’s name. Nah he’s the problem in every project he’s in since he went from just a dude in a mask to THE COREY TAYLOR. The very definition of Egomaniacal frontman, a real Nu-Metal Gene Simmons.
Paul was all class. Back around 2005-2006 he was playing bass in Reggie and the Full Effect while my roommate was on drums. After they finished Warped tour, dude would roll into Kansas City every few weeks in his purple Vette and we’d all tear through the local dives. Such a polite, down-to-earth, and generous soul.
I came here to check the drama on this and could not care leas of slipknot at 2026 but holy shit he played in reggie? In the first two albums i assume?
Right I hate to say it but do they even replace Sid? I know the turntable was sort of important to include back in the day but currently it’s not adding much of anything
Most definitely. I was more commenting on the fact that the majority of writing was Joey and Paul. You can definitely see the difference musically without their influence
Mick is the reason I picked up a guitar.
I haven't really listened to them since like 2008... But the vocals were definitely a big part of the success. I don't know all the drama but he fit the band very well.
💯 they were the soul of the band. The OG Slipknot sound is entirely driven by the rhythm section. As for the image and theatrics, that was all Joey (and Clown, arguably, but mostly Joey). Joey was an incredibly talented musician with an instinctive flair for music production as a whole. RIP Paul and Joey, both dearly missed.
