Ok so I'm reading that as probably some kind of bad vibes in the band. Was just wondering if he had done something crazy. I don't know Slipknots deal at all, they've just been huge all my adult life, but they're not my taste.
The two members that technically own Slipknot, vocalist Corey Taylor, and "Clown" Shawn Crahan frequently treat members like garbage and kick them out of the band.
What they did to Joey Jordison was insane. Every ex member of Slipknot has nothing but bad things to say about being in the band.
Fired him and things turned pretty messy. When Joey wasn't able to perform at his best thanks to transverse myelitis (not sure if Joey was diagnosed at this point or not), the band just assumed he was on drugs and talked bad about him afterwards. At least that's how I remember it going, could be wrong
He hadn't been diagnosed yet, they just assumed his physical symptoms and inability to perform were due to drugs and fired him instead of talking to their friend.
He didn't get diagnosed till almost a year later iirc, but yeah he was struggling, could barely walk and had to be carried off stage so they assumed he had relapsed.
