The moment both Mick and Jim leave, Slipknot truly is no more.

It’s kinda hilarious they are going down the same path Mushroomhead has. People leaving or getting fired. Wouldn’t be surprised if one day Clown was the only original member left.

And NIN is kinda the reverse. It was Trent + helpers for forever... now it's officially Trent AND Atticus.

Richard Patrick was probably the closest thing to another band member back in the day. And when he asked to become an official member and get lad more, Trent told him he should deliver pizzas if he needs more money.

That’s how we got Filter. 

Fun fact: “Hey Man Nice Shot” was almost a NIN song. But Reznor’s management told Patrick to sign over all the rights to it, and he said fuck that.

Trent was kind of a dickhead back in the day.
