Farewell Joey Jordison

Jul 28

It is just unreal to me, how many musicians we're losing these days. Joey Jordison, founding member and drummer of Slipknot, died yesterday at 46. He had transverse myelitis, but it isn't exactly clear what caused the death. He died in his sleep.

Jordison left Slipknot in 2013. Slipknot's All Hope Is Gone is one of my favorite metal records, period. Jordison's drumming is great on the album. Slipknot is on a social media blackout in honor of Jordison.

Joey Jordison, a founding member of Slipknot, who drummed for the influential metal band in its most popular period and helped write many of its best-known songs, has died at age 46. https://t.co/Uz3j3iIiGi
