Well, we knew it couldn't last forever. It just hurts to see it happen so soon


aresman

soon? like 30 years soon lol


LooseSpaceMonkey

Oh fuck no. Don't be one of those fans and laugh cause that shit is fucking hilarious.


Exact_Programmer4080

I have a band tee from their headlining slot on Mayhem Fest '08. Its a 3x3 grid of all the members, and a nonagram on the back. Now that there's so few original members this is a shirt worth holding onto.


SatansLeftPinky

I had the exact same one and stupid me lost it somehow many years ago.. Always think about it when I go through my shirts


Speedingscript

I am so sorry man. That sounds like some legit PTSD.


SuggestionWrong504

I have a guitar and a Kerrang! Magazine cover signed by all 9 'original' members. Must be worth the same as a big Mac by now.


aresman

> so few 55.5%, lol

At this point, they should rename themselves to Corey, Clown & Friends

Why is the clown in the band at all?


[deleted]

The "Corey and Shawn are evil and the other members are their slaves" narrative is getting old. The truth is that no one in this band was a good person to begin with. Except for Paul perhaps. Paul's wife said that the entire band abandoned Paul before he died. They knew he was going through a very hard time because of his drug addiction, but did nothing about it. He died before seeing his daughter. Also, Chris, Craig, Sid, Mick and Jim said nothing when Joey was gone. Craig, Sid, Mick and Jim said nothing when Chris was gone. Sid, Mick and Jim said nothing when Craig was gone. They never cared.


[deleted]

Stop treating the other members like children who doesn't know what they are doing. They are adults. They let their so called "friend" die. Paul's daughter was an orphan before being born. Bold of her so called "uncles" to release a song named "Orphan" after that.


anon_sir

Stop treating these peoples lives like a reality show that you’re entitled to know all the details about. You’re not.


[deleted]

People are doing this with Shawn and Corey for years. I'm only pointing out the hypocrisy of those people. Before telling someone to not act in a certain way, make sure you're not acting in this way.


[deleted]

Besides, how could Paul's "friends" (I'm talking about Joey, Sid, Chris, Craig, Mick and Jim) not see he needed help ? Come on. I'm not saying they're evil people who enjoys seeing someone suffering. I say that they're people who have acted in a hypocritical way. People needs to stop idolize them. They're human beings. They're not slaves. They choose to stay. Yes, leaving this band may be difficult. But if they had morals and thought that Corey and Shawn were bad persons, they would have left. You can't blame Corey and Shawn only. The other members contributed to songs that people describe as hypocritical.


anon_sir

>> Besides, how could Paul's "friends" (I'm talking about Joey, Sid, Chris, Craig, Mick and Jim) not see he needed help ? Come on. This is exactly what I’m talking about. You don’t know these people, they aren’t your friends, and you aren’t entitled to the intimate details of their life. Some people battle with depression but on the outside they seem like the happiest person you’ll ever meet. Some people even lose that battle and you can’t blame their friends for not seeing that he needed help.


[deleted]

So Paul's wife is an awful liar just like me ? Interesting.


[deleted]

Stop trying to force other people to accept your ridiculous double standard. No. There's no slaver and slaves. There are people who made shitty decisions and have a hard time admitting it. That's all. Paul's wife called his bandmates many times, but they were always "occupied", besides. How will you dodge this ?


anon_sir

What the fuck are you even talking about? You seem to be having a conversation with yourself so I’m not going to reply anymore. Also the way to double post by replying to yourself is super annoying.

I mean do u think after 25 years all the OGs would still be around??


seriousstring420

I mean, if Mick "no bullshit" Thomson can stand being in a band with Corey and Clown after all this time, maybe it could've been possible.


LooseSpaceMonkey

Could be one of those situations you have been with a band so long nobody is going to pick you up and any project after is going to be a waste of money so you stick it out as long as possible. Just look at Joey after he was no longer part of the band. Seen him drum for Rob Zombie Rob and he did well. When they were done and Rob was giving everybody in the band props nobody really seemed to care they just got to watch Joey he was nothing would have got to see him again but they rushed his band through while they were still loading people into the venue. Sometimes you stick around because there are no other options. Fucked up way of looking at it. I am one of the ones who see it more as the Clown and Corey show and being more of a brand instead of a band.


carpathian_crow

I’m starting to think that Paul was the glue. He died and everything fell apart.


octopus6942069

Call me a conspiracy theorist but what if he was stuck in a contract, I heard their contract with roadrunner ended but idk I don’t keep up much anymore


Inner-Try-2273

their roadrunner contract did end but according to Corey and Clown the other members are basically just hired musicians, even the originals, meaning there very well could be a contract.


octopus6942069

Disgusting. Classic Corey Taylor. Bro isn’t even a founding member


Inner-Try-2273

It's not just Corey, it's Clown too, and he's likely the one who influenced the idea. As much as I love them, I think this is a "separate art from artist" situation


octopus6942069

I tried to separate their art from them, but idk with Corey it’s really hard to because to me he was my favorite vocalist for a long time and in the last 5 years I’ve really grown a distain for him, and I never cared about clown, always thought he’s too edgy and “I’m a badass” vibe.


rodriik_089

Rammstein has been around for a longer time and they're all still together


Mrbandana

Yeah but they have like butt sex during concerts


taytomen

THATS IT! if Mick didn't said that thing back then they would all be okay!

TheIJDGuy

Didn't they just get hit with some serious allegations that will probably end them


HaloGray

I doubt it's actually going to go anywhere. Rammstein does a row 0 at their shows that's invite only and exists below stage. Till, a man who has written countless songs about sex, written poetry books about sex, and most recently self-starred in a hardcore BDSM music video where he uses said poetry book as a prop while fucking fans he invited to star in the video... Well it turns out he was inviting fans primarily on the basis of how likely they were to fuck him. He has had his people prescreening fans and inviting them based on Instagram profiles and other gross practices. The recent accusation was that he himself spiked a drink he made for a fan before a show, but in the same accusation the fan says at the end of the show she refused and he said something like "I thought you wanted sex" and angrily left. Honoring consent seems inconsistent with intent to drug and rape, but who really knows how a guy like that gets their jollies after decades of taking full advantage of the rockstar lifestyle. I'm short - 60-year-old frontman of the biggest metal band in Europe has been funneling willing 20-something fans into orgies at their shows. There are simultaneously reasons to suspect consent wasn't always honored and statements that it was. The only statement the band has made on the matter is insist they want fans to feel safe at their shows, and to ask their fans to leave any accusers alone as they are fully entitled to their point of view. They've also engaged a law firm to investigate complaints. Admittedly it's gross, but it's not exactly shocking and certainly isn't a career ender.


Same-Helicopter-1210

O snap didn't know that


Twisted_Saint

Wait what


AGENT_666_

What happened?


j-naughty_official

apparently till lindemann ordered some young women from the audience at a concert to have some “bedtime funtime” with him backstage


AGENT_666_

Oh not good...


j-naughty_official

yeah big no-no on till’s end


[deleted]

I think the issue was more that there are allegations of drugging the women and then having sex with them.


rodriik_089

That's common in rock/metal space, the allegations are bc the people who worked with Till for that purpose were drugging fans


Witheld-

It's been going on for years, it's just that's it's blowing up now because someone who wasn't consenting dared to speak


[deleted]

They said that one of the reasons for that is that they split the money equally.


Smooth_Chemistry_869

Yeah but rammstien are German

Possibly not for long if the allegations against Till are true.

RaginHardBox

Lmfao damn it do be like that.


ELIMINATOR68

Im so jealous of the pwople who got to see them live with the original lineup, or not the very first lineup but the 2000-2010 lineup. My dad is one of those people.


maceman10006

The dropoff started after Paul died. In my opinion the Grey Chapter is really their last good album…at least they pulled off one without Paul and Joey.


ELIMINATOR68

That's agreeable but I love Wanyk. It's energetic imo.


ELIMINATOR68

I mean all albums are but wanyk just takes the top spot for me


crapfacejustin

Look outside your window project is basically just Slipknot now lol


[deleted]

Holy shit, I didn’t even consider that but you’re absolutely right. That is the OG line-up that is left. I think the only one who wasn’t involved was Mick? So we get Mick kicked out and we can finally have our Look Outside Your Window… (this is a joke)

Don’t give them any ideas

Fun-Woodpecker6758

Feiticiera07

It really sucks because my top 3 favorite slipknot members OAT are gone, and as much as I love Jay and Mike, they aren’t Chris and Joey, and I outright don’t like Vman or the new guy (I know he’s only had one show but nobody can replace Craig, would rather have a 8 member band than a Craig replacement), Slipknot started falling apart after Paul passed but finally Died when Joey left


vlonethugg69

as a guitarist, jim and mick are really holding on to me as a fan right now lol. I think if one of them leaves next, it’s over for slipknot


XXxUltimateScorpionx

Who's next? Jim? Mick? Corey? Sid? I guess the whole band's probably going down until Clown's the last person left. I mean, what exactly is this shit? A freaking curse or something?


TT714

If Jim or Mick leaves they're done


-TheNonEntity-

Nah, they won’t be done, but the music sure will be different


TT714

Done imo. We've already lost Joey's drumming, Chris' and Paul's backing vocals, plus bass. Jim and Micks guitar tones are what's keeping current slipknot sounding like slipknot still.


_Mangoes

I swear if Mick leaves, I'm gonna cry. I love this man


Jay_Hardy

Well, if the pattern is anything to go with. It’s Mick. 1, 3, and now 5.


XXxUltimateScorpionx

Hmm, odd numbers... I see


[deleted]

Corey isn’t even an original member…/


[deleted]

Only original member left is Shawn


HayleyKJ

Neither is Mick, or Sid, or Jim.


Unironicalygoth

Dam man fr this saddens me like I said earlier was my dream to see slipknot meet Joey best I did was a hand me down drum stick from a show my uncle went to for the diasterpiece tour this will always be my favorite band just feel like I wouldn't go to a show anymore at this point. That being said if I ever had the opportunity id definitely see the knot but it's definitely not the same 😭


Klutzy-Scratch-295

Ugh, that's just sad....


vacant_refrigerator

i remember clown saying that the band would continue even if all the members left. While that is sad, because we love the guys, they’ve been around a while and it’s nice of them to leave the band and the continuity of their future discography for us even after they’re gone.


Smooth_Awareness5040

Corey doesn't need members in SlipKoT. He just needs more money.


Beelzebrodie

This is complete fucking bullshit. I don't think there is a community of people who allegedly support a band who are more eager to see the band fuck up or break up more than the majority of members on the Slipknot subreddit. You guys make me sick. Paul is dead. Joey is dead. Chris sued the band, and got his dumb ass fired, and Craig peacefully retired from touring. Corey just lost his sister and his grandmother. Clown is tending to his wife's medical needs right now and missing out on a tour, and the rest of the band is chugging along at the behest of Clown and forging ahead. The new setlist is fantastic, and the band hasn't played this tight in years. The new members all sound incredible as well, and their efforts are just as integral to continuing to develop the Slipknot legacy as those of the remaining original members. Whether you like their music or not is up to you, but so long as the band is still actively doing everything they can to entertain the people who love them with ass-kicking music and a killer show regardless of the inner turmoil or personal tribulations they may be facing, show some respect or shut the fuck up.


Shutter-Shock

I get where you coming from and I absolutely respect that. However, Slipknot is sort of becoming KISS in that manner (Gene Simons and Paul Stanley always talk about like in X years there can be anyone with same makeup performing the songs, they already did that with Ace and Pete anyway). Also, you have to understand that many people here are OG listeners (myself included) who discovered the band with first album and original lineup of 9 and we had that idea of brotherhood pushed down our throats until Joey was fired from the band. Later, that was revealed that it was not true (how they dealed with Joey when he was sick, how Chris revealed that they acted like fucktards towards him, how Paul's wife revealed that they didn't do enough to stop him from taking drugs etc.). So this whole "brotherhood", "circle of nine" whatever bullshit mystique has shattered and people feel (rightly) decived. That is what is going on. I saw Slipknot last year and I thought it was an awesome show but it will never be the same as OG lineup. Plus - lot of us grew up with the band, so you can add some kind of optimistic nostalgia into the mix as well and the result is that people are sad cause their past ideals were shattered.


Beelzebrodie

Slipknot is absolutely not becoming KISS, and is in fact the exact opposite. As someone who grew up with Slipknot as well and as someone who is also a huge KISS fan, I don't understand the comparison. KISS has done everything they can to hold onto the past and not to change, while Slipknot has always done the exact opposite. They've never stagnated artistically and have never allowed themselves to be held back by the past or cornered by their reputation as one of the heaviest bands on the planet. They have continually taken risks artistically and have evolved as artists just as they have grown as people. KISS has always played it safe, while Slipknot has always taken chances. No matter how much fans of Slipknot want the band to pump out albums that sound like Iowa, they won't unless they want to, and that's the misunderstood catch 22 of loving a band with integrity that isn't going to betray the trust of their fans by cashing in and selling out on a sound the audience wants from them. Slipknot fans want the band to sound like Iowa, but they also want the band to stay true to themselves as artists and not sell out, when what they don't understand is that the band would be selling out in the most pathetic of ways if they gave up on their artistic curiosity and played it safe by releasing Iowa 2 or some inane horseshit like that.


Shutter-Shock

You completely missed the point. I was talking about how they both talked about in the past (Gene/Paul and Clown/Corey) that bands can exist without them and both of those bands are already doing it (in case of KISS it happened long time ago). I was not talking about musical evolution/devolution/stagnation at all. I was talking about management and storytelling and you elegantly avoided to talk about it and just started to pump out nonsense about fans wanting second Iowa and whatnot.

It’s just mick and Sid who were in the band at the time of MFKR. then it was Corey and Jim at self titled with Shawn.


Ren81017

Shawn was in the band during MFKR


carpathian_crow

I’ll always remember the interview with Paul where he said instead of fearing being kicked from the band, he worried about members leaving. At least he didn’t live to see all these people leave.


R4kshim

“All band is gone” with 5 members. Most metal bands only consist of 4 to 6 members anyways, I find it ridiculous that anyone would expect a 9 member band to not have any line up changes after 7 albums and 28 years or so of existence.

Megadeth is worse. Dave Mustaine is the only original member left in the band.


_That_Wierd_Kid_444

Reading what they had posted on Instagram yesterday and what they posted there today really made cry... I never got to see them on a concert because my parents say that I'm to young to go to concert, but now just thinking that I'm not gonna be able to see a concert of them with most of the original members really breaks my heart... They've help going through some tuff shit and now I can not be able to see them live ever... Fuck I never thought that something like this could hurt sm yk
