Korn with Joey Jordinson (of Slipknot)

So though Terry Bozzio laid down drums for much of the new Korn album, he sadly won't be touring with them this summer (which I really wanted to see). Joey Jordinson of Slipknot, however, will be playing the drums. This is going to be really interesting, especially as the other touring guitarist will be Clint Lowery (of Dark new Day, ex-Sevendust).

Here's a clip of Korn playing with Joey for the first time:

Yep, should be interesting. I was surprised when Clint said he was going to be touring with 'em. Still can't believe he left Sevendust. That's got to be one of the best live bands I've ever seen, the connection they all have on stage is insane.

wow, I didn't know Jordison had a face

I wouldn't have thought Joey had to go slumming with a band like Korn.

Maybe this will shut all the people up who say Joey is just about speed.

So what happened to David Silvera? I knew he had some hand/wrist trouble at one time but I thought it was temporary. He was the only thing I liked about Korn.

Maybe this will shut people up who think Joey is a good drummer.

Considering he is slow when he tries to be fast, this is pretty funny.

Korn blows.

Korn and Slipknot blow each other in a big huge pile of nu-metal no talent gayness.

maybe he'll play better without the mask!?

Thank you for your outstanding contribution to the forum. Now scamper off.

Meh. I hate JJ. I hate Korn. I hate nu-metal.

I prefer Joey's work with Metallica...

You guys are aware that Slipknot and Korn are grown men who play music made to appeal to 12 year olds because it makes them a lot of money right?

At this point it's not even a matter of taste, if you're over 12 years old and you think either band makes good music then you have incredibly {censored}ty taste in music.

And if you think Joey is the best drummer in the world or someone who is influential or someone who should be imitated it's only because you have a very narrow, limited, and {censored}ty taste in music and you just don't know better.

Facts of life.

Korn/Slipknot/any other corporate clone band: RRRR IM GOING TO KILL MYSELF SLIT MY WRIST {censored} YOU DONT EVER JUDGE ME

Kids: BUY BUY BUY

Korn: buys 3,000 more Adidas jumpsuits

The thing with Korn that I wonder about is, did they loose band members b/c they finally wised up and realized that the music really isn't that interesting? Most of it is disco, not metal.

Joey is the Kirk Hammet of drums.

I'm no Korn or slipknot fan really. But what the {censored} do you know? Fitch didn't post this so self righteous tools like you can tell people what they shouldn't listen to. If korn and slipknot sucks in your opinion,then what should 'the 12 year olds' listen to? what's your taste in music?

Wow.

I'm not sure we'll actually be able to discuss drums on this forum soon.

They even call their fans "the kids." On one of the YouTube videos they're like "oh man the kids are gonna flip when they see this!" Kids will flip for anything.

The better question is "Why do these people come out of the woodwork only to bash bands?"

In the meantime, back to the subject at hand: I'm no Slipknot fan, and after seeing Korn (for free) two years ago, I said "Wow, there's really no need to see them ever again." However, this summer, I'm really curious to see how Clint Lowery fits into the band, and it should be interesting to see a metal guy (yeah, I called him metal: I really don't give a crap what you want to classify him as, so save your breath!) like Joey go from something fast and furious like Slipknot to something heavy and grooving like Korn.

Plus Hellyeah, Trivium... I'm in for Family Values!

Wow, this shows how much you know. They don't call their fans "the kids," they call them "maggots." If you want to criticise them, at least get your facts straight.

I happen to love Slipknot, and Joey as a drummer. If you can't play as good as him, don't judge him.

I think he was referring to korn in this quote. I'm all for people giving their opinions, but not people telling other people what they should be listening to, or that they have '{censored}ty taste in music' because they listen to korn or slipknot. Taste is a personal thing. I don't like rush or dave matthews band but I don't go saying you have {censored}ty taste if you like them, or go into a rush thread and say 'rush are {censored}'.

Music, for some people is about trends. It's a fact of life. They like a band then move on to another one, depending on what's big at the time. Some people do actually love these bands though, and follow their career from start to end, and buy every release. Just the way it is. If you don't like a band and have nothing good to say about them, why bother posting in a thread about them?

It's unfortunate that toes get mashed sometimes. For all the big evil talk, the premise of a thread can be a very fragile, nebulous thing. I often jump in just to give my grammatical chops a flex.

So observers, otherwise content to sit by and be entertained, come across a band reference and now this is something they're qualified to participate in. Presto!11:love: Teh yadda yaddah :blah:. Guitar Jam!

I personally enjoy interjections like KKs. Helps to lay out the field on something I might not exactly be straight on.

And band bashing itself; one of the basic premises of learning music is to aspire, to deal with your own incompetence- to excel. Sometimes you gotta at least flap your lips about it. I for one am a hundred times harder on myself than any band or genre I've ever panned.

Perhaps the ultimate question is, "Why TF do people try and expound on a perfeclly good rhetorical comment?
