Slipknot, Jordison included.
Corey Taylor (Vocalist of Slipknot/Stone Sour) recently discussed the impact that Joey Jordison leaving the band will probably have on the new album and about rumors circulating on the web about Jordison writing all of Slipknot's material. In an interview with rockrevoltmagazine.com, Taylor stated: "Honestly, it depends on who we get (as Joey's replacement). It all comes to someone who can play the old stuff but also brings a certain creativity to it". He carried on stating "We need to stop worrying about what is gonna happen later".
Corey Taylor: "We're giving 110%".
He also talked about the rumours circulating around the web in which people claim that Jordison wrote all of Slipknot's material. Corey had this to say: "I know there's this myth out there that Joey (Jordison) wrote everything. But that's not at all true". He carries on, stating that "We all write and we all bring something to the table. Between me, Jim (Root, Guitar), Mick (Thomson, Guitar), Clown (Shawn Crahan, Percussion) and everybody else, I think we're gonna be able to put something really, really cool together". He continues, acknowledging that there will be a dynamic change but states that "We're gonna go for it 110%".
Joey Jordison: "I DID NOT QUIT SLIPKNOT".
When inquired about any ideas for a new drummer, Corey said "A few people. As soon as we know, the fans will know. And that's how we're keeping it". Just before Christmas last year, Slipknot announced that Jordison had left Slipknot, however, Jordison soon rebutted the notion that he 'quit' and that he was "shocked" by the news as much as all his fans were. He told his fans that he "DID NOT QUIT SLIPKNOT" and that band has been his life for the "last 18 years". No comments whether Jordison was sacked or if he left has been released due to legal reasons. Slipknot are currently working on new material, ready for a 2014 release.

Remember when we told you Joey left Slipknot? According to the above image, he says he was fired. What do you guys think about this?
Joey Jordison and Slipknot have parted ways. A message from the band can be seen below. I hear Dave Lombardo is sitting around...
To our Maggots and fans around the world,
It is with great pain but quiet respect, that for personal reasons Joey Jordison and Slipknot are parting ways. We all wish Joey the best in whatever his future holds. We understand that many of you will want to know how and why this has come to be, and we will do our best to respond to these questions in the near future. It is our love for all of you, as well as for the music we create, that spurs us to continue on and move forward with our plans for releasing new material in the next year. We hope that all of you will come to understand this, and we appreciate your continued support while we plan the next phase of the future of Slipknot.
Thank you,
The ‘Knot
Slipknot to enter the studio in January according to M Shawn Crahan. Read a post from his official FB below
“Went out on the lake today for awhile to try to get some negativity out of the brain. All these birds were flying off the water over my head. So peaceful and beautiful.
The new mask is coming out killer for all those who are getting one. You’ll be getting a lot of goodies.
I’m writing the best music of my life. I can’t wait to put it up on my page just so all of you can see who else I am, but as usual only if you care.
New site will be up soon.
I’m getting really excited for the up coming show in South America and the show in January in Mexico City. Both shows will be insane. I can hardly wait.
Then we’ll get settled in to a studio sometime in January or so and starting cutting out the pain.
I got an artist studio where there will be lots if photo stuff but also a very cool recording studio. I’m going through all my stuff and getting rid of some serious stuff. Check my site to see.
I have to write, record and play live with new art all around us. End of story.
Amen
