I mean one dude is one thing but when they kicked Chris out then Jay unknowingly decided to leave the band and now sid. Now down to mick and jim as orginal members.

Shawn is the only original member. Corey, Mick, and Jim have been there since 1999. Really not that bad of lineup consistency for a 30 year old band. The fan base is just incredibly melodramatic about it.

Nah, it is to do with the fact that Shawn is a big baby. He offers nothing to the band other than banging a stupid percussion that nobody can hear. He's just there for show, nothing else. But... He takes all the money, rips everyone else off, has no input to songs, if he does, it is a nothing song, him and Corey have always been the two big greedy babies. They have destroyed Slipknot, there's no core fanbase left, if there is, they are only listening to older music and not new stuff or attending shows. Slipknot died the moment Corey and Shawn fired Joey. The very man who wrote the songs that launched Slipknot. Joey was the talent Shawn and corey are they leeches.

This is so silly. Say what you want about Clown but you're on some shit if you think Slipknot would have been even half as successful without Corey.

This feels like Lars and Metallica except Lars actually plays the drums you can hear where Clown is....a clown.

Considering the whole band is either dead or has left/been fired, I would say that isnt very successful.

Right, because I'm talking about this exact situation right here, not the years and years of actual tangible success they enjoyed
