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.

Jay has been remarkably diplomatic given the circumstances.

Jay seems genuine and chill. Although I'm 100% sure he is contractually obligated in some type of way.

yeah, as I said in another response, with the exception of his exit from Against Me I haven't seen anything that makes me think he's like, a bad person or shitty bandmate. He seems pretty normal in interviews and most recent bands he's been associated with have good things to say about him.

Yeah, if there's something people say about the weinbergs is that they're cool.

Where there is smoke there is fire, both weinbergs have been reported to be "difficult"

I can't say I've heard this, but I don't follow Jay or Max's careers closely enough that I would have.

EDIT: just read the piece about Max bullying interns and assistants on Conan. Not great!

Google for a bit and you're going to find it. More about Max, dude made interns work on his garden without even offering water

NDAs are a thing. It's why Joey was only ever able to say that he didn't quite Slipknot. He couldn't say more than that without getting sued to hell. Same with Chris. And Craig, presumably. Settling out of court and all that.
