Is El Estepario SIberiano SLIPKNOT'S Drummer?!

[@dmwalker24]

The message from Slipknot reads like every official firing email I've ever seen. 'Creative decision', 'part ways'... It's that 'everyone loves each other' PR speak, meanwhile behind the scenes they hate each other's guts, or someone had a psychotic break, and it's time to avoid legal liability.

[@drockbrewer4326]

Yep this one

[@voyager1568]

Yeah, I’m not big on them. Never have been. And seeing stuff like this leaves me with the horrible taste left in my mouth when my “band” (I literally wrote all instruments and parts) blind sided me.

[@dmwalker24]

@@voyager1568 Yeah, like some of their songs are enjoyable, but I've never been one of the super-fans. They also have this weird habit of inserting these cliche phrases into otherwise cool sections. Everything is sounding good, and then all of a sudden there's like 2 bars from a Christian metal band. Don't know what that's about.

He’s too good for SlipKnot lmao

@@maximilianoalexander9924 he is just nice humble guy, that’s why he said it.

[@maximilianoalexander9924]

@@RigelSounds yah he is nice but he is also right, slipknot not only needs a brutaly good drummer, it needs somebody with experience on touring, with the physical capacity of playing intense 1:30 hour sets every weekend with a mask and a jumpsuit on. Its just not easy

[@SabiaCDO]

He doesn't want to. He votes for Sepultura's drummer (Eloy Casagrande) to join Slipknot.

[@JonathanSperguiro-kb9uy]

Well, he was right!

[@Seekaywastaken]

If you're interested in seeing those old Dream Theater auditions, they're up on KZbin. 3 parts, around 20 minutes each. Really cool seeing the procedure the band used to put everyone to the test. Obviously Mangini got the spot, and now years later is ready to do his own thing while the OG Portnoy comes home.

[@antoniogonzalez4252]

From what I remember Marco Minnemann's audition was also fucking stellar

[@AceJofu]

Hes 100% skilled enough to play for them, but when he says "not experienced enough" i think it refers more towards their touring life and collaborating in such a high level band.

[@shawnbruce6934]

He Needs His Time. He's a Kid. They are a Toxic Situation.

[@jasonpatton9962]

Jay Weinberg has already confirmed that this is indeed true. He received a phone call from them on November 5th stating that he was being let go from the band. He had no idea it was coming and was completely shocked by it.

[@yarbafett]

NO WAY! He needs to start his own band or keep doing what hes doing on youtube/social media and start collabing with other independent artists. All these independent artists that are leagues better than mainstream need to start pulling together. Im a RENegade and love seeing these artists making youtube and other platforms work for them and not need the labels and mainstream media. I would love to see el estapario and Ren collab on a rock song.

[@JorgeLourenco000]

Everything, it's not mainstream until they are mainstream. El estepario is mainstream on KZbin. I get your point and I feel you, but never forget that an invitation from slipknot, open many other doors and relaxed retirement.

He does have his own metal band now. They’re working on putting out a single in January

[@mathitis93]

I think El Estepario joining Slipknot would be a disservice to him. He has his own brand, his own following, and he doesn't need to join a legacy act. Edit: spelling mistakes. I was tired

[@Captainperfection]

Legacy act? Slipknot are legendary in metal music

[@mathitis93]

@shaunsowter3329 and eventually they'll be like Kiss. It's no disrespect to them. They've made their mark, but it's not something that's going to last forever. Corey is already talking about retirement.

I think it would be so cool to see him upside down on a pentagram shredding a drum solo with one arm while drinking coffee with the other! So badass!! 🤘

[@tylersays-]

Slipknot doesn't deserve him. He's an innovator.. He's the kind of guy that creates a band like Slipknot from scratch ... he should be the recruiter not the recruit.

[@woody8577]

@@INDRIDCOLD83 Evgeny’s a killer drummer, but I’d be sad to see him leave STP. They all gel so well together. I’ve heard Clown’s son Simon(drummer for Vended) could replace Jay, but that’s just hearsay.

[@patfix]

I think I understand the ‘creative decision’ actually. Maybe I’ll eat my words when the new drummer is announced. But I feel like Slipknot needs a drummer that’s little rough around the edges and Jay is just too good to be that haha. Listened to some of Joeys work again recently and that became quite apparent to me. But we’ll see!

[@muzz1105]

difference between Jay and Joey was, Joey young and creating his drum plays and hungry to make the biggest band in the world to establish, he was young, talented and angry. Jay longtime fan, and he isn't an angry person and became part of an established world renowned band

[@Amocoru]

Every band that's worked with Jay: We hated it The internet: OMG EVERYONE IS WRONG.

[@antongoatlord6860]

From Igor Cavalera to Eloy was a killer trade off In Sepultura. Luv them both

[@dealwolfstriked272]

I think he would make slipknot more mainstream. Like I love watching him play and I am not a huge metal guy(more classic with a bit of hard rock) but if he was in the band I would probably love metal.

[@miguelb.7364]

El Estepario Siberanio is an absolute beast!

[@Sirmarklee23]

Slipknot: No one can replace Joey. Also Slipknot: Let's fire Joey. Slipknot 🤡

[@maggotthemadman8142]

[@TheChepe86]

See the Estepario Siberiano🇪🇸 sitting on the slipknot drum. It would be something brutal. someday it will happen.💪

[@xstatixtribalelectronicmus2787]

When they said “creative decision”, and I’m going to be brutally honest here. I feel they were referring to the fact that, although Jay is an amazing drummer, he is more of a straightforward drummer. He is amazing and I’ve heard him live multiple times but the reality of the situation is that maybe creatively he’s not able to offer as much as another drummer who is also amazing, but has a very diverse creative pallet on the drums. Like Joey

[@davidedemurodominijanni9889]

I dunno things, of course... of course not... but... the bassist of Slipknot made a request to El Estepario about what song to "cover next" in a video and El Estepario actually did that, so we can tell for sure Slipknot well knows what he's capable of. So I dunno... time will tell. All I can tell is I wish he does what he's really happiest with.

[@vycris9455]

Sitting here listening to El Estepario talk about drumming and Slipknot and all that. I'm invested in that, yes. What I was not prepared for was him referencing Final Fantasy as I LOVE the game series and am playing FFXIV while watching this. xD

[@therealxarzy]

Hey Alex been following the channel for a while, I heard Jeremie Kling is the new potential slipknot drummer due to some posts he made on IG and subsequently took down. Hope you are doing good

[@Hawkenwhacker]

Reading the comment section is like responding to a résumé. *_"Sorry dude. We'd love to see you in_* *Slipknot,* *_but you're overqualified."_*

[@SonOfNone]

I'd love to see him guest-drumming during pre-2011. But once Paul passed, it became somewhat apparent that they'd lost the glue that kept them together.

[@Stella_Blue1972]

El Estepario is %100 right about us living in the last days. I always knew he was a smart cookie but he just leveled up in my opinion. Very few people are aware of how close we are to the rapture, despite all the signs. When i was a kid we used to say thunder was the angels playing drums. I think he'll be making the thunder during tribulation. God bless you and all who read this. Maranatha, Jesus rocks!

[@onsesejoo2605]

You need to watch the Dream Theater videos. Marco Minnemann of The Aristocrats, Mike Mangini and Peter Wildoer were on the final shortlist. Aquiles Priester and Virgil Donati auditioned. Minnemann declined because there was no room for composing. To be cynic, Slipknot is using Weinberg leaving as an excellent vehicle for publicity and it works with all the debate going. Sure it will put the new drummer in the spot. It will probably be a reason for some fans to leave it be for good or an excuse to move on in their life, leaving the teenage years behind for good.
