The Tragic Real-Life Story Of Slipknot

The metal band Slipknot is just as well-known for their unique costumes and masks as they are for their music, but sadly they have also become well-known for the many tragedies that have affected the band members over the years. One member found himself in a dangerous fight with his brother, another died of an overdose after years of struggling, and one faced unspeakable tragedy when his daughter died in 2019. In spite of this, the band has managed to work through the losses they’ve suffered and continued to record. Let’s take a look at the tragic real-life story of Slipknot.

Imagine thinking your friend died of overdose, dumping him in a trashcan and seeing him become the singer
of one of the best metal bands in the world

when i was about 6 years old, me and my dad ran into cory taylor. the only thing i can remember from it was him giving me a high five :, )

[greenghoul]

I wish there wasn't a stigma against metalheads as being violent and satanic, it's always been my go to music genre and I'd never hurt a soul

[miktee]

I'm a 60 year old and loved metal my whole life and I'd much prefer to die in a moshpit than spend my last 10 years in a nursing home being spoon-fed. Power to you bro RIP

[Arothgar]

the track (515) is Sid crying. He wasnt suppose to be in the studio that day as his Grandfather had died the night previous. He came into the studio to vent the pain.

Once, Slipknot hurt themselves.

Now, they hurt others with their headbangers. RIP all necks.

I was in the pit during that show at Tinley Park IL earlier this year. I remember seeing the older man being carried out. I never knew that he passed away, I remember seeing him before and during the show. RIP

[ebkjer]

he don’t care that he got left in a trash can by his bros?

[jeppeniller]

Saddly the tragic story didnt end there.

Thank you Joey

[taxevader]

Their music is hella dark, but if you actually go into extremely deep into the band. It's quite wholesome how much they care about each other and their fans.

Love how Craig's the only one without a story, he's just there admist all the chaos

[nathanmcdonough]

i thought this was gonna be about some horror movie

[andreascollet]

Cory Taylor’s son, Griffin, goes to the same high school as I do. He screams music in the hall and brings 2-liters of Coke to the class we have together. Weirdest kid I’ve ever met.

[DrummerJake-cmir]

So ridiculous how they blame music on things people do, does a spoon make you fat?

"the clown lived to rock another day"


, ,, me.

Is Everyone gonna ignore the 62 yr old who was in the mosh pit and died after taking a hit

[JuanTwoThreeeeeee]

The Iowa album intro (515) was only Sid, it was his live reaction to his grandfather passing away.

[almostpainful]

The guy that died in 2019 was in the grass seats, not down in the pit. He did fall down, but it is unclear wether he “took a hit” from someone or not. Took security/medical help 35 minutes to get to him. I was at the concert.

[nine-toedsloth]

Is everybody gonna ignore all the comments from people who have never heard of Slipknot?

[DoctorPotassium]

Rest in Peace Joey. You massive legend. Never Forgotten.
