Jay Weinberg on how he joined Slipknot: Barstool Backstage

[keyshawnestberg]

No seriously, how the hell does a band get blessed with two god tier amazing drummer

[itzjmlboi]

Keep in mind jays dad is max Weinberg who was the drummer for Conan’s show Jay ended up meeting slipknot in 2001 or 2002 the night that they perform the heretic anthem on Conan show

He fills Joey's spot well. Joey rip .

[akai_hana_]

He's the best replacement that they did. No one can be Joey, but no one can be Jay too. Talented drummers

[gunnarelisigurjonsson]

Been a blessing,
And such a brilliant drummer.

His father a beast drummer, no surprise he grew up to be a monster

[ze]

He is the son of longtime Bruce Springsteen drummer Max Weinberg so friends to friends but you have to earn that position anyway.

I'm thankful I got to see Jay live in March at Melbourne Knotfest, I can rest easy knowing I got to see that legend live in the flesh- his precision, poise and creativity elevated The Knot more than anybody could ever hope to achieve. It's bittersweet, they booted both drummers who both ended u being generational talents for the same band- but I know Jay will be an upgrade for literally all bands he decides to play on with, he's still young in his music career and I have nothing but love for him, he got me started in drumming.

An awesome guy as well as an awesome drummer. Best of luck with Suicidal Tendencies Jay.

[jaykeller]

Such a badass drummer. But I still love and miss Joey Jordison. But he's a different style of drummer and he's amazing too!!

[SuperPsychoterror]

Translation: His rich daddy introduced Jay to slipknot.

[bamiasimmons-guinn]

Love ya Jay and appreciate your talent for sure 🤟💜

[marinamarino]

Joey è il numero 1, in tutti i sensi, ma Jay è stato veramente bravo 👏🏻

[shredhead]

We’ll miss you Jay. I felt like I was seeing Joey up there drumming at times you played his parts almost to perfection while adding in your own style at the same time. Then the new material you contributed, you straight killed it. Huge loss to Slipknot. I’m over this band. Can’t wait to see what you do next. Also the fact you attended Palefest in Ohio, gets a huge praise from me.🤘💀🤘🥁

[Evipenguin]

Unpopular opinion: it was a mistake letting this dedicated dude go

[Timkast]

This makes me feel like maybe Clown’s son will get the call. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[iDeathMaximuMII]

100%
Cody needs to win
If he doesn't, it's not gonna be OVER, but his Mega Star status is done. No one's gonna look at him be like
"He's the face of the company"
This time he has to win

[upnorthvlogs]

Real answer my dad was well known and got me the job for 10 years😂😂

[proudsaiyanprince]

He worked for that brand with 2 CEOs and 7 employees right?

[beezysbeatz]

I don't care what anybody says Jay was a great replacement for Joey. He definitely doesn't deserve ANY of the hate

[justinmiller]

Best decision Slipknot ever made. Every band Jay was fired from was because of his behind the scenes entitled attitude because of Jays nepotism. I’m so excited to hear new music with Eloy! Eloy live is tiers above jay. Jay would always rush the songs. Slipknot just finally got tired of him, just like the previous bands that fired him. Mark my words, he’ll be fired again
