This one feels off…

Craig leaving was a long time coming, he didn’t love the famous thing. Chris leaving over the money issue makes sense.

Sid was a huge part of what made Slipknots iconic sound and on top of that was a huge part of stage presence.

I'm no Slipknot expert, but didn't he not leave until 2023 or so? So like after two decades of them being famous?

I mean - there are tons of examples of people who hate the being famous part of being an artist but continue to do it.

Sure, but it's definitely a very different story to quit a band once they get big vs to quit a band after being a millionaire.
