Tragic Details About Joey Jordison

[@jpnw6577]

To me the coolest thing about Joey was that even though he had become a star he was still a fan. When he played with Metallica, when he joined the Roadrunner team he always talked about how cool it was to play with musicians he looked up to. He never had a rockstar attitude, was never too good to take pictures with fans. Total badass. RIP legend.

[@lkblondie8061]

I met Joey in 2017 during his tour with VIMIC. Me and my friend drove 10 hours to see the show. He was so kind and so down to earth, He seemed interested to hear us ramble on about anything and had a real conversation with us. You could tell he genuinely loved his fans and was proud of every one of them down to the core. I was shaking a bit because of my nerves, and afterwords my friend said that Joey looked really attentive to my anxiety, which melted my heart. The second me and my friend were heading out we burst out in tears. I rarely cry from joy, but that did it. Needless to say, My heart broke when I heard he passed, and I immediately reached out to my friend to ask if he was alright. I'm so proud of Joey for pushing through all that he did, and having a place in his heart for his fans, just as we have for him. R.I.P. 1

[@sageeverett]

He overcame so much in his life with so much determination and resilience. He had so much stacked against him at various points in his life, as stated in the video, but he just let it fuel his fire even more rather than allowing it to extinguish. His passion and love for music will remain so awe-inspiring. He's such an inspiration to everyone, musicians and others suffering illness and chronic conditions and just all around. Hearing him always talk highly of everyone, regardless, says a lot of his character and how big of a heart he had. He was such a gentle, kind spirit and had a light so bright that the world just couldn't handle it anymore. His talent for all things music is unmatched and undeniable. His legacy and everything he created will live on in each of our hearts forever more. I so wish, like many others, I could've had the opportunity to meet this incredible human being and just thank him for everything...for inspiring me, for getting me out of so many holes where I felt sorry for myself and giving me that push to keep going, and for just being authentically himself all those years. We love you so much, Joey...sleep well, and I hope you're now at peace and free from pain.

[@sageeverett]

Also, remember to respect Joey and his family's privacy. Don't listen to the 9-11 call. Don't expect any sort of details on what he actually died from. Joey was an insanely private person...he kept his family out of the limelight and only came forward with his illness after he recovered...we need to continue to honor and respect that, now more than ever. Same with Slipknot. I understand we are hurt by how they treated him...trust me, I get it...but now is not the time to be divisive and hateful. We need to come together and spread love. Not hate. We're all hurting, Slipknot included, probably in ways we can't imagine due to circumstance. I'm sure Joey would much prefer people to celebrate his life and to honor him than to lament. He after all still thought so highly of every member of Slipknot and loved them dearly, even after everything and even when he had reason to do opposite. Put it on pause. Let people heal and grieve.

Use this tragedy as a catalyst for our own growth, like the ashes of a man planted with a seed will grow a tree made of him. So too we can use this as a seed to grow ourselves.

I don't think that's really how it went. Joey was having health problems and, absent another explanation, the band made the logical conclusion that he was using again.

I grew up in the 80s following drummers like Neil Peart of Rush and even Tommy Aldridge when he was with Ozzy. So when a drummer comes along years later changes the game, it motivates to entirely new levels. Joey Jordison did that for me. Drummers are a dime a dozen, but few have the qualities and balance of heart and mind like Joey, Neil, and Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan from Avenged Sevenfold, all drummers we have lost way too soon. Rest in eternal peace to all three. We who were influenced by you will continue carrying that torch.

I quit going to their concerts when Joey left and the only albums I listen to are Joey on drums.

[@BWC-ui6we]

Same man. Current slipknot has become everything they once opposed. Don’t care for anything new they release but I’ll forever love the original 9

[@firstname-to4ov]

I grew up on slipknot as a young drummer i always looked up to this guy i thought he was the coolest

[@stolenhal0]

I'm not even a drummer and started playing a few years before Slipknot came out and he was still the coolest to me too.

[@w9ill856]

I have to admit I have been crying for 2 days because of this

[@joshdraken1]

Definitely a sad moment for fans and musicians

[@frustacja2169]

A lot of us have, take care of yourself bro

[@dealtaw]

To sum up Joey: the greatest drummer ever

[@megmcguigan3857]

I've never been a fan of the band, but my husband loves them. I have MS and when I was getting diagnosed a few years ago they originally thought I had transverse myelitis. It's not as treatable as regular MS so people go downhill pretty fast. RIP, you in no way deserved to get that horrid disease.

[@dontsurroundurselfwithurself]

Meg, neither do you. God bless you and your own mettle for showing empathy to a metal legend.

[@jakobdee3274]

I loved this dude and The Rev from Aveneged Sevenfold so much. I knew he passed away a while ago, but it's something I haven't gotten over when he, they, cross my mind. Music, in terms of drumming, imo will never be the same for me without someone who comes in full packed of energy to the band. RIP Joey and The Rev

[@GigiSkye97]

The ending made me cry… OMG Joey you will be missed by so many. RIP legend

[@Jamijam7]

1 year 2 months today. Still hard to believe that he's gone. Rest in peace Joey. An incredibly talented musician, an inspiration, a humble man, a beautiful soul, a legend. One of a kind. He is our forever number 1.

[@cannibalkitty76]

Joey Jordison, I'll miss you. Rest in peace. ①🕯️

[@jakekulvinskas3076]

i thought this was gonna be the details about his death, now i am more sad

[@trfmusic902]

Same, this made me tear up. Sucks that people have to go through depression, anger, drug issues and other mental health problems. RIP Joey

[@quieres107]

Look up the 911 call his girlfriend or ex, not sure, made. He died alone in his sleep, supposedly he was already dead from around 3 days to a week. What caused her to make a call was the awful smell coming from inside. Its really sad man, RIP Joey

I love that Joey was a cat person....

I'm so thankful I had the privilege of seeing the band while both Paul and Joey were alive and with the band. Got some really good photos as well as memories of seeing the band while they were all together. Rest easy Joey. You are truly missed.

[@t0ddbr0wn731]

I wonder if the rest of the Knot have any Ill feelings for firing Joey for being f@#$ed up on drugs when it was that M.S. variant that took his legs. I lost a lot of respect for the Knot and there "brotherhood" for that. ....and now he is with Paul and nothing can be changed about it. Rest in eternal peace #1$uperball and #2 Pig. Dammit man.

[@captpootis8495]

They probably are, Ever had a friend u used to know then broke away from and then they died? Don’t blame most of the members, It was a collective thing from all of them, Not just Corey.. Not just Shawn. Plus they literally made a vow to never go back to drugs after Paul died because he oded and had heart failure (Or some sort of organ failure for that matter).. Just respect Joey. Pointing fingers now will not help.

[@captpootis8495]

It was just something they felt needed, I’d understand Joey if I was in his shoes but you can’t just hate on everyone because of this.

[@hamsablue]

He was on drugs, he did them on top of his condition. That was part of the problem

[@lukeisprvkt]

the other quiet members like mick, sid, jim are all just happy to have a gig, i dont think they would ever stand up like chris did. gotta respect chris because he stood up to clown and coreys dodgy behind closed door business dealings. people can say what they want about certain members contributions to the music writing etc but that wasnt what sold them, the kids loved their brotherhood and unity. they were all as important as each other in those kids eyes.

[@romaretaylor9953]

@@lukeisprvkt the thing is kids grow up. With your logic slipknot should’ve been laid to rest with Paul and then just end up being forgotten

[@donsferatu]

He was such an amazing human being so much more than an amazing drummer. He over came so much and has inspired me in my life personally for many years from drums to addiction and illnesses. The only other person I've cried over was dimebag. Both those guys inspired me so much. I hope there jamming together in rock n roll heaven🥁🎼🎶

[@KJGG-fw3qt]

This is a damn tragedy! You'll be missed Joey, as well as Paul and all the other greatly talented artists that were taken from us before their time! It's just not fair. What a cruel world. The pulse of the maggots will never be the same again!

[@DrewFrostbane]

I played alot of slipknot songs on the drums. when I heard the passing of Joey, It...It just hurt. He has been known as a great drummer and every time I play a slipknot song he was in(albums 1-7), It just feels so painful think about his passing and his personal issues. Rest In Peace, Joey Jordison.

[@Silent_Shadow]

Slipknot sold you out Joey. We still love and will always miss you!!! RIP to a major musical influence of mine for many many years. 😭💔

[@glenkepic3208]

Nice in a dark sorta way. Slip Knot was my kids music but dug a riff or two. No mention of Mick Thompson... Guitar World photo shoot early '00' Rattles off a line of YJM leads. 'You know this stuff ???" Mick, "Yngwies a god but theres no room for this in our music". RIP, JJ.

[@howardweingard43]

I saw Slipknot at Ozzfest 2001 when they were promoting the LP “Iowa” - Joey was amazing on the drums! Yeah, Corey’s vocals were great, too… but, Joey’s drumming was amazing!

[@RyosukeKai]

Joey deserves more. He's a legend and hero, he influenced many musicians today (and for the future generations) His dedication, passion, soul in music is really heartfelt and impressive. You will never be forgotten. The best drummer ever in the world. slipknot=shit. They don't deserve Joey/the band he created. Its so hurtful and I'm still crying for what happened to Joey. We love and missed you Joey, I'm so sorry, people treated you like that. They're so cruel and ignorant too.

[@mattonelove6731]

I was asleep when my daughter woke me to the new of joey i was like no freak way. I google it and it was true my eyes watered was hoping for a come back. Rest in peace thank you for bring the knot to the world you will be missed.

R.I.p Joey. Thank you to all my childhood favorite metal bands 🤟 Thank you Slipknot!!!!!!!

[@redneckskater1657]

I have been a slipknot fan for a long while now. I remember being 7 years old playing on my psp racing quads on atv fury blazing trails 2 and listening to duality not knowing what band or song was playing but I loved it and got older and grew to love their music. Joey is gone too soon😕 I will miss him and watching this video gives me a real eye opening inside look at what Joey jordison went through in his life. May he rest easy and peaceful.

[@novaacraane]

At least Joey and Paul can finally be together again. May his soul rest in peace. ❤

[@JC-rk9gy]

Very sad he was very talented and a amazing drummer. Hands down the best I’ve ever heard. He always stayed busy working with other bands. He put himself out there to show what he could do and he proved to everyone he was and is the best.

[@alice-cn2ll]

I’m a new fan but his death, hurts so much I didn’t know the man well, but there’s this connection in the music,I could tell there was so much love with Paul grey and Joey they loved what they did, I cried when Joey spoke after the death of Paul, I cry when I think about the fact I will never be able to hug Joey or even speak with him I’m very upset over his death may Joey and Paul Rest In Peace drumming in heaven.

joey jordison was my idol growing up, i have yearbook pictures in 5th grade with a slipknot shirt on haha, rest in peace, the best drummer ever.
