Metal Anarchy

Joey Jordison recently opened up about the nurological disorder, transverse myelitis, which he suffered with around the time of his departure from Slipknot. Now, he has offered more insight into the split, and a hypothetical return

He said he was fired via e-mail, but also told Metal Hammer that he was open to meeting with the group:

““Honestly, I’m not trying to be dramatic, but if that was brought up, what I’d want to do would be to get together. I’d want to see them, just hug it out and feel that energy that we had when we were fucking young and hungry and all that shit. They’re my brothers. We’d hug and talk and do shit like we used to do. We used to sit up all night along planning this shit and what we wanted to do. So that’s how I’d wanna do it. It’d have to be in person. If it happened, that would be fucking awesome, but only time will tell.”

He also added the following about Slipknot’s latest album “.5: The Gray Chapter“, which features his replacement, Jay Weinberg:

“I listened to the whole record multiple times. And I think it’s great. It’s fucking cool and I’m glad they moved on. I’m glad they’re carrying on the name, because what’s important is the fans.”

UPDATE: Metal Hammer have posted more of their cover story, including Jordison opening up about being fired via e-mail:

“No band meeting? None. Anything from management? No, nothing. All I got was a stupid fucking email saying I was out of the band that I busted my ass my whole life to fucking create. That’s exactly what happened and it was hurtful. I didn’t deserve that shit after what I’d done and everything I’d been through.”

He also added:

“They got confused about my health issues and obviously even I didn’t know what it was at first. They thought I was fucked up on drugs, which I wasn’t at all. I’ve been through so many things with those guys and I love them very much. What’s hurtful is the way it went down was not fucking right. That’s all I want to say. The way they did it was fucking cowardly. It was fucked up.”

Latley, Jordison is keeping busy with his new bands Vimic and Sinsaenum.
