My aunt's stepbrother is Josh. I've heard him talk about the Knot several times and he usually states that he didn't like the producers telling him how to play his instrument. I got a picture with him when my cousin was born. He has been in many bands since and says he wants the ability to make music sound good with a bunch of different sounds (like MFKR was). This is what he has done in other bands of his. He has a platinum record in his bathroom from their self-titled. Apparently, he received no royalties from Slipknot, for which he could've sued, but money appears not to be important to him. And yes, he still lives in Iowa. I saw him about a month ago over last New Year's Eve. He got to go to Paul's funeral (which he mentioned Sid crashed as no Slipknot member was invited) but also doesn't listen to Slipknot ever. He wasn't aware of the trash they dropped a few months ago.

Crowz and MFKR are still some of my favourites from these guys.

Maybe I’m cynical but most of these replacement scenarios, especially right when a band joins a bigger label, are the label asking members of the band to leave so they can be replaced by studio guys or at least more dependable musicians. Sometimes members leave of their own accord, but usually because the label has completely changed the bands sound. It’s a business.

The early lead singer of Mastadon gave me a sleeve tattoo some years ago . He left the band about a year before they got to the big time . He wasn’t bitter about it . Eric saner was his name , really good dude and great tattoo artist .

My oldest brother was in a group that got rich and famous literally within just months after he left the band. He was in the band The Killers and was lead guitar, he also played keyboard/piano and he sang a little bit but he decided to leave the group and even though they begged him not to and that they were going to sign a big deal within the year but he didn't like the direction that the band was going in and he ended up leaving them and just a few months later they signed a huge deal and were well on their way to becoming pretty wealthy and playing in large venues all over the world. It haunted him for a while too, he's also friends with the group Oasis and is good friends with Gallagher and has played with him many times over the years but also he went on tour with them and played in the group that was their opening act on like a 9 month tour around Australia, Asia and some Europe shows.

I know this will sound dark, but leaving the band to care for his family was a great decision.. that probably saved his life as well.

I’m actually friends with his brother and he signed a self titled album as a Christmas gift to my other friend. I’ve never met him personally but his brother says he’s really devoted to his family so him leaving for them isn’t surprising at all.

good that he still plays music while living in iowa with his fam

You can do Sabaton. 2 thirds of the band left during the recording of the 2012 album “Carolus Rex”, which meant only Pär(bass) and Joakim(vocals) were left. But after the producer helped finish the album and when they released it, “Carolus Rex” became Sabaton’s biggest album. It is still the most bought album in Sweden and went quadruple platinum. Sabaton got new members and ever since then, every album that was recorded and released has reached #1 in many countries. The reason why most of the band left was because they only wanted to do a certain of shows a year, but the founding members Pär and Joakim already had plans for many shows.

This is a cool series!!... Keep them coming!! 🤘

Hope he still got royalties for all those songs he did on that album at least.

Nope

That album is by far the best Slipknot album that has ever been made

This makes so much sense. My favorite record is the self titled record. I always found it strange how iowa sounds sooooo diff guitar wise.

Being a rock star is not everything. Most of them are unhappy.

Yeah, the lifestyle certainly has a timer attached to it

I know Josh, played in a band that opened for On a Pale Horse (Josh's band) great guy, he left because his gf at the time was having health issues and quit to help. His amp was used on the album Iowa as well.

Must be why no other album is as good at that rr debut.

@@Caillouteletub123 it's true though, his play style and backing vocals they haven't been able to recreate. It's the same now with the drums being boring af. joey taught himself and mostly learned fills and breaks, so his drumming is different to someone who learned by a teacher. It can't be helped, but self titled was a masterpiece and it is still good to listen to now. Whereas I can't say I feel the same about the whole of IOWA or All Hope is Gone.

​@@deletedaccount175 I think it's not about teacher/no teacher, but I absolutely agree that Slipknot after Joey and Paul became surprisingly boring rhythm-wise. It's honestly puzzling. Like, the drive and aggression they can still muster, but the intricacies are mostly gone, just downbeat-hitting or 8th notes in the bassdrum now 😢

Slipknot is one of the best bands that ive ever seen in concert. One of the drummers was on a platform that was raised and then rotated so the drum set was positioned like a clock, and then it rotated while he played.

I left the band I was in right before they went on tour. Recorded drums for the first album soon to be released…I think they’ll have some success. Kind of rough spending most of your life dedicated to something,then almost reaching what a lot would consider as success,and pulling the plug! Such is life 🤷‍♂️

“SAVE ME” “BEFORE I COME UNDONE” Man, this cover really hits given what happened to him…

Well sometimes you gotta make sacrifices in the name of keeping yourself happy

Randy Rhoades is a great example of someone who made it bigger with the band they left for even though the band he was in got big too which was Quiet Riot.

I didn't know this... That first album was so badass... Jim root has always seemed like such a key member of the band... Hard to imagine slipknot without him

I remember seeing them back in 2002 in San Antonio. Texas They toured with System Of A Down ( Battle of Los Angeles tour) and Rammstein. I was 18 at the time. It truly was a iconic show! The two drummers wear on suspension drums. The venue was sold out. Honestly probably one of the best concerts I ever went to!

If true. I respect the guy for staying for his family. Sometimes you have to make hard decisions.

How could someone not realise teh s/t Slipknot album was something special?!

He’s successful in his own right. Success is different for different people .

that is my favorite slipknot album for sure. purity, prosthetics, no life, liberate, only one. Those tracks are some of my favorite. That albums was so intense, raw, had a rougher edge to it. people like to say Iowa is the heaviest album they ever put out but I disagree. this one is

İf he didn't quit, we don't know jim root so thanks and respect to him for leaving the band and being a family man

I just saw them at the Roadshow in April with my partner for the first time & it was amazing!! Can’t wait to go again!

My bass player back in NJ always said he was in looking glass right before the song brandy and then the band blew up... he drank him self to death it was sad

I used to be in the scene during those days. Josh was on a band called "on a pale horse" at that time. My best frowns brother hand a band called absent that used to play at hary marys on des moines with them. I got to meet Shaun and sid at those shows. Great times

I played with them back in the day when I was in Brutal Republic. He was also in Painface with Anders (original Slipknot vocalist). Anders was the original vocalist for On a Pale Horse but was replaced before the first album.
