Will Joey Jordison ever come back to Slipknot? The answer might not be yes, but it's also not no as of right now.
Slipknot officially parted ways with Joey Jordison a year ago and still, not much is known as to the reasoning for Jordison's departure. One thing we know for sure is that it was a dismissal. Jordison himself said that he never quit the band. The most anybody in Slipknot ha said about his departure was Corey Taylor appearing on Jamey Jasta's podcast saying "We just weren't able to work anymore."
In a recent interview with MusikUniverse.net, Taylor was asks if he ever sees Jordison returning to the band, and rather than saying yes or no, Taylor was honest:
"I don't know. I don't know. I mean, it's hard, you know?! One of the reasons why he's not with us now is because he was going one way and we were going another, and I mean on all fronts. With respect to Joey, I won't comment any more. But the future holds surprises that none of us can see in advance. So all I can say is we'll see. But 'I don't know' pretty much covers it."
Taylor continues to be diplomatic about the entire thing and I commend him for not stirring any more drama. As for if Jordison would ever be welcome back, personally, I can see it happening but not for a while. Not until Jordison and the band resolve whatever issues they had, whether it's substance abuse or something else.
