Rest In Peace Joey Jordison. You changed the game with Slipknot. Brought the blast beat to the mainstream! Gave kids a groove like no other. Perseverance would’ve never happened had it not been for Joey & the Slipknot camp. Condolences to his family, friends & fans. Gone too soon— Jamey Jasta (@jameyjasta) July 27, 2021

This was a true honor to stand alongside 3 people who helped form me as a musician – as a peer, for roadrunner United. pic.twitter.com/2K0NXcXFKl— Matthew kiichichaos Heafy (@matthewkheafy) July 27, 2021

46 is way to young and it feels like we missed out on a whole lot of great music from Joey.— Paolo Gregoletto (@TriviumPaolo) July 27, 2021

I don’t have words, to call him an inspiration would be an understatement. Countless hours studying every move behind the kit . I owe so much to Joey Jordison and could never imagine being where I am today without his influence. RIP pic.twitter.com/BAnLHW9Re2— Alex Bent (@AlexBentDrums) July 27, 2021

…and when I did the one-off show playing w @stonesour in Brazil (at which @slipknot also played) he always treated me like part of the family. Fuck, this one really hurts…? #RIPJoeyJordison— Mike Portnoy ? (@MikePortnoy) July 27, 2021

Fuck. Such a unique and talented human – and his heart was as massive as his band. This one stings. https://t.co/aump9ZcVtw— Mark Hunter (@chimairamark) July 27, 2021

Shocking horrible news. He was the first real extreme drumming influence on me as I’m sure he was for an entire generation. I’m sad I’ll never get to meet you and tell you how much your playing made me want to play but I’m sure you already knew what you did for so many people RIP pic.twitter.com/HII47J5TwE— Alan Cassidy (@AlanBlastidy) July 27, 2021

Absolutely gutted to hear about the passing of Joey Jordison. I was lucky to have gotten to know him through the years sharing stages and partying around the world. He was an incredible talent and an amazing person. Will miss you my brother. RIP #1— Brian Fair (@brianshadfall) July 27, 2021

Damn. RIP Joey Jordison. Absolute beast of a drummer whose playing changed metal drumming in the 21st century. I (Ben) got to see @slipknot 2x with him on drums in the early 00s and his frenetic style blew my mind. pic.twitter.com/IBgQhyZsZh— Khemmis (@khemmisdoom) July 27, 2021
