A game changing drummer/musician: Watching #joeyjordison was like seeing a machine with human quality. Only met him a few times, but super down-to Earth/humble. A huge loss. #ripjoeyjordinson https://t.co/JcT3QDJ8dE

I love what Joey Jordison accomplished with Slipknot. They were the bridge from rock into professional wrestling. From what I hear, Joey had an illness that made him unable to play the drums. (Our bodies are only good for a time). Rest in peace… https://t.co/HWTtJ4FhfG

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

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

…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
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

We are saddened by the news of the passing of our dear friend, Joey Jordison.

Between Slipknot and Murderdolls, the work of Joey Jordison got me into music as a kid and I never stopped listening. Rest In Peace to a legend and one of the best to ever do it.

I remember being 6 years old and finding my stepdads Slipknot self titled CD that moment literally shaped my entire music taste. I am so genuinely heartbroken

my mind blown by visually connecting this band I had been listening to with their stage presence. It felt like a switch flipped and soon everyone was talking about them. In 2001 my big brother took me to Ozzfest in Camden, NJ and seeing them was one of first moments
