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 I cannot believe this news today, Rest In Peace #1 @slipknot ?— Charlie Benante (@skisum) July 27, 2021 R.I.P. Joey Jordison Rest In Peace to a legend of the music world. Joey’s contributions to music changed the face of heavy music on the planet as we know it. 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.

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 Rest In Peace legend https://t.co/rd0ccexx6T— Code Orange (@codeorangetoth) July 27, 2021 This is awful news.

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
