Gordon Comstock Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 i dont know how many of you know/care, but slipknot had cancelled their 2 back-to-back shows in WA. recently because Joey Jordison (drums) became sick. they cancelled the rest of the aug/sept tour, and many fans became worried that joey was much sicker than originally thought, possibley due to extensive touring or drugs, but this has just been announced:********ATTENTION ALL FANS*********Dear Maggots, Let me begin by saying, We are VERY SORRY we had to cancel this leg of the tour. As you know touring is our life, Getting in front of you guys and playing keeps this band ALIVE. So it hurts us and much as you that we had to do this. There are PERSONAL issues in the band that NEED to be taken care of for us to continue touring. Let me emphasize JOEY IS NOT DEAD/DIEING, **HE IS FINE**. WE have been working hard for the last year and a half on "The All Hope Is Gone" Touring cycle and it catches up to you, as i said i said earlier but i am very sorry we had to cancel to the 2 week run but are desperately trying to make those shows up in our October tour.WE ARE NOT CANCELING OUR OCTOBER TOUR,THE BAND IS NOT BREAKING UP,WE ARE ALL ALIVE.I AM SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT, IF YOU DON'T HEAR IT FROM ONE OF US IN THIS BAND THEN IT IS BULLSHIT. WE ARE HUMAN AND SHIT HAPPENS AND THATS HOW LIFE GOES BUT WE ARE MAKING THE BEST OF IT RIGHT NOW as should YOU. We will be on the road in October and hopefully we will see you there. For everyone that has sent emails/messages thank you VERY much, They do mean a lot to us. Hang in there we will see you soon. STAY (SIC) Paul #2 & SLIPKNOTreally shitty news, especially since sept 9 was supposed to be a big day for them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Flower Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Yeah, they definitely have the second ugliest fanbase behind Metallica.Cool band, though. Like a lot of their stuff. I like the album they did with Rubin the best, but most of the hardcore "maggots" seem to think it's too mainstream and weaksauce compared to their other stuff.Still hoping Corey does a song with Slash.

As for spinning drumkits and all that, well we know where he got that idea from 20 odd years ago.but like i say man, mick taylor is a great player, though his playing gets produced out a bit on the albums, joey jordison is a great drummer and corey is a great singer and he has proved it many times. not sure about the dude that just batters a few bins for 2 hours though... I guess when they started he owned the PA so they had to let him be in the band.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
