At the 03:24 - 03:36, you're probably wondering why there's no audio... Well, after a few hours of having this video live, I got a copyright claim from the band's publisher for having 12 seconds of the song playing in my video. So just to make it easy, I chose the option to mute it. But I still think you will all get the point...

[michaelmaiara]

So, essentially Sepultura, Suicidal Tendencies and Slipknot traded drummers.

[empese]

No drummer should be mad or angry about being replaced by Eloy. If it was me and I got replaced by Eloy, I'd be like "yeah, I get it".

[ashatteredsociety]

As a big Sepultura fan and with the band coming to an end soon. I am so glad Eloy found a new home and I can start following Slipknot a little more closely now

[Lipebenevolence]

As a brazilian, i'm very proud of our Casagrande (BIG HOUSE, hahaha) represeting us in one of the best metal bands in history!

[InzidenzPanik]

Not gonna make many friends saying this but Eloy is by a good margin the best drummer Slipknot had. It’s like Dirk Verbeuren in Megadeth…Yes, Joey was an icon and a pioneer and Jay is unquestionable gifted but Eloy is a phenom, won international drum contests at 14 and did pro metal gigs at 16. They were able to sign a guy that may be way above whatever the band can throw at him.

[raquellydoesntsocialize]

They sounded absolutely incredible at SNW!! They played all their old hits with the exception of Unsainted. Eloy really did Eyeless justice.

[brentenglish]

After watching the “mini show” and watching the drummer you can tell it’s Eloy by the way he moves behind the kit. He has a very distinctive head bob or head nod when he plays and you can see it plain as day..

[briansavage]

I’ve watched both recent Eloy shows and they were absolutely brutal with Eloy on drums. No more tempo rushing. More power. Absolutely dead accurate.
Crazy good.

[Cal.lm]

I’m absolutely overwhelmed by Eloys drumming !! What an incredible drummer !!🤘🏼

[captainhennahead]

Having a strong drummer like Eloy, allows the band to essentially " lay back" into the songs without any worry. Even in the videos being posted it can be felt. They seem very relaxed and comfortable in the material. The power and groove that Eloy provides just seems to wrap right around the songs. This is going to be good indeed.

[johnnypatterson]

I must say after watching their first show with Eloy I was blown away how much better he made the band sound, I'm a guitar player even but I enjoyed watching Eloy most of the time.

[evertonbrc]

What Slipknot is doing is like the traditional easter egg hunt, where the eggs are hidden... but are not really hidden.
It is just fun to see the kids looking for it.

[alvaroandrerodrigues]

First time I see an american pronounce Eloy's name correctly.
We brazilians are very proud of him.

[cliffsharp]

Corey Taylor has said in interviews before, that the band loved when their fans were obsessed with finding out who they all were and were matching tattoos with candid photos and stuff

[valdirtotal]

As a Brazilian - and an American - Sepultura became huge in 1996 with Roots, but they didn't know how to maintain its peak and was destroyed by ego, after that it went downhill and nothing relevant happened. Just look at the festivals with the name Sepultura minuscule at the bottom, and Slipknot headlining. There is no way to compare. In terms of his professional decision, Eloy did absolutely what any intelligent musician would do. Way to go!

[TheAssirra]

Going to watch my first ever Slipknot concert in December and cannot wait.

[adamsteinbacher]

I'm pretty stoked about the band now too. For their live shows, Eloy is a god-tier performer (and doesn't RUSH HIS TEMPOS, even through his fills!!!!), but also excited for the writing possibilities. Really hope they write at least 1 new album together.

[TOGade-djjh]

4:05 Eloy is a brilliant drummer, for sure. What gets under my skin is the way Slipknot tend to treat… their drummers. Joey, founding member, was fired via email and Jay via social media, to me that’s all wrong. Joey was fired since the band believed he was on drugs when he in fact was sick. Jay had his knee operation coming up and Slipknot couldn’t risk being without a drummer at this vital moment, so that’s probably why Jay was replaced. If they ever replace Eloy I do hope they treat him with a lot more respect.

[adamcogan]

The best they’ve ever looked and played. I always hated that “we don’t like clicks cuz we like it raw” because every time I saw them,
the songs and the pace all felt wrong. It also made it harder for Corey to scream when it was faster
