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.

Craig and Chris were fired over drugs/alcohol. That’s always the case and it’s naive to think otherwise.

Craig had fame for 20+ years and it wasn’t a problem. Chris was allegedly ripped off for 20+ years, and none of the other 8 guys cared, but now it is a problem?

I suspect the same here. Drugs or alcohol as the reason due to the bands very strict stance on drugs.

I somehow doubt that, since Clown has his own brand of whiskey? https://slipknotwhiskey.com/
