Thanks for checking out episode 50 with former Slipknot percussionist, Chris Fehn, #3. Please share this with any fans of Slipknot. I am truly honoured to have had this opportunity because this is Chris' very first interview since his departure from the band in 2019. He has been a part of the metal industry for over two decades and has contributed significantly to the success and evolution of Slipknot with his incredible live performances and distinctive Pinoccio inspired mask.
In this episode, we chat about his time before Slipknot and some of his career highlights, playing drums on 'These Old Boots' also featuring Mick Mars and Dee Snider, taken from my dad Phil Campbell's solo album 'Old Lions Still Roar', being blown away by Joey Jordison's drumming, playing bass guitar in the band Will Haven plus his future music plans.

Only him and the rest of slipknot know what truly happened. But Im glad Chris is doing good and just enjoying retirement. very much earned

[@trendkill3333]

@@trendkill3333 You remember that 2008 interview where he was talking about how basically he was always bullied and all that stuff but then they “apologized” and that everything was ok back then etc ?

And i know they dont have to answer anything for us but man…there sooo much shady shit everytime theres slipknot gossip lol. I do respect Chris for not using this interview to throw them under the bus. He said what he said in a respectful manner and then done with it.

[@JBrooksNYS]

I had the honor of seeing Slipknot in 2001... one month before Iowa came out. The first time I heard any Iowa songs was live. Still the best concert I've ever been to. Original line up...Joey, Paul and Chris. I loved it.

[@LogicallyKnot]

First time I seen them was around that time too. It was at a small venue on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Just before they went on the Ozzfest run that year. Linkin Park, Papa Roach and Mudvayne was there too. They played The Heretic Anthem. Corey said it was the first time anyone's ever heard it. He said they were about to "Rip our heads off and shit down our necks". And they did......They absolutely nuked the arena with that song. Tore the roof completely off. I have been to 5 more shows since then and that moment was the best. Absolutely insane. So sad to see what they've become.

[@joobakins]

Same! Saw them Ozzfest 2001 in Camden, NJ. Saw them again on the vol 3 tour in Houston. Glad we saw them in their heyday!

Saw them at Ozzfest 2001 UK at Milton Keynes Bowl. Front row, best day of my then 14 years of life. I’m 37 now… Sucks.

[@gabrielh4717]

I’ve always liked Chris. I loved how him and sid would go off stage to go walk and greet the fans. To him being one of the ones setting some of the funniest slipknot moments. Also being honest with how slipknot in the early days was just such mental abuse without being scared of like maybe i shouldn’t say this because i might get in trouble with the band, nah he would just say it. I’m so glad he talked about Joey, and how in his instagram posts he makes it clear he misses Joey and loved him. While slipknot just posted a black picture and took them a week to even say anything. He’s just great, he seems like a great person. Rest in peace Joey and Paul.

[@ladyk6095]

One of my favorite memories was seeing one of my favorite bands for the first time (Slipknot) at Ozzfest 2004, I was 14 yrs old and I was front of the stage. Chris flipped me off and threw water and a water bottle at me 😅 it was the best. Ive seen Slipknot many times after, with all the different members and I'm sad Chris is no longer there, you can tell a difference when certain members are no longer present....and now Craig 😢 i can't...my little Maggot heart 💔

True Story: I first saw Slipknot in May 2000, a few years later I found out one of my friends from Iowa was dating...CHRIS! We were actually neighbors briefly in Lake Tahoe. Chris was always a super cool dude and pretty awesome at disc golf too as my friend Damon and I can attest. Chris even went above and beyond this and got me and a couple friends backstage and on the tour bus in Sacramento on their tour with Fear Factory and Chimaira. Such a generous and kind gesture. Thanks Chris! All the best!

[@Chris_Sherwood]

To those saying he didn't contribute are ignorant and clearly missing the fact that his backing vocals live were a big factor in their live performance. Try listening to Nameless live and omit Chris's vocals . 😂

[@wardor9214]

I agree or listen to Custer live. Without Chris that song doesn't hit you the way it should live. Even hearing Sic live just this past weekend at Knotfest Iowa it isn't the same without Chris. You can tell Corey and Shawn are giving it there all. But Chris had some hate behind his vocals. The lineup of Sid Joey Paul Chris Craig Clown Mick and Corey was imo what made Slipknot who they were. Each guy gave there own energy and element to the band. Nothing against any of the replacement members but those 9 you can't top that.

its amazing to see the vibes that chris gives off compared to say...corey...ive been a maggot since they showed up in 99...i can remember down to the minute when my life changed because of slipknot, they for real were a part of what shaped my life (static x on the other side). i was always supportive of corey and his out spoken ways...ive been ride or die since day one. BUT, to see the negativity and shadiness that is just rampant from guys that i adored. you can CLEARLY see how honest and stand up Chris is...and all i hear from the other end is Corey and Shawn literaly pre-emptually setting up weasel ways out of something that they claimed to love....ive tried and tried to stay on bored, but especially now with the abrupt lose of Jay (who has clearly dedicated his career to them, life long maggot...and this is what we get? somehow we went from a legitimate movement of individuality to a fucking shell corp...that has no interest other than money. Us maggots have been shunned by the ignorance that is now mass produced from (i cant believe im saying this) a total representation of greed, monetary value related to a brand, and a TOTAL disregard for what the beginning of slipknot meant to people. Shame! i have legitimately given up on slipknot as a whole...the fact that i have totally disregarded the latest album hurt me on a cellular level. but i refuse to support any longer these sellout, greedy, selfish, ignorant individuals. R.I.P. the knot p.s. i never thought i would say this also...im now Glad that i never got a slipknot tattoo (which i have many representing things that i love)...i would be truly EMBARRASSED to have something on my body that is clearly a hollow misrepresentation of something that i can no longer associate with with a clean conscience. I believe that there are many many maggots that would agree with every single word i have just written. It truly is a sad day. p.p.s what cowards. not only did they put the message out (just like firing joey with a bullshit email)...they disabled the comments because they KNEW what would come if we the maggots could speak, AND on top of that immediately removing the post because of the intense and heavy backlash. spinless! I want so bad to have someone tell me Im wrong, the only problem is...IM not!
