Slipknot is a well-known band that
is famous for their dark and heavy music that many fans fell in love with as
well as their unique apparel. With recent tide turning events and the death of
Paul Gray, Slipknot’s bassist, all music development was put to a hold.
The grieving members of Slipknot
ceased their music career to the impact of their loss, until recently. Slipknot
announced that a new album was under development and new material was going to
be introduced. However, although the announcement is great news, long time
member Joey Jordison (drummer of Slipknot) will not take part in the band.
There are different stories as to whether Joey left the band or was kicked out.
All that was said is that Joey has left due to “personal reasons”. Many Fans are upset about the outcome of
Joey. However, conclusions should not be drawn until all the information is
present. Joey could have done something that could jeopardize the band’s success.
Nothing is certain.
So how
will this effect future song writing? Well a new drummer is being searched for
and vocalist Corey Taylor promises to keep their music along the same lines to
what the fans fell in love with. I believe there might be some changes in their future song writing, but it won't be a negative change. Should it change, it shouldn't be too drastic and should not require too much adjustment from the fans. I for one am a fan and I am trying to understand what the band must be going through. What the fans think of them now will show in the outcome of their future.
