La scomparsa di Joey Jordison, batterista degli Slipknot dal 1995 al 2013 e autore di molti pezzi della band dell’Iowa, ha lasciato nello sconforto e nell’incredulità il mondo del rock e della musica. Jordison con gli Slipknot ha pubblicato quattro album in studio e due con i Murderdolls (oltre a molte altre collaborazioni).
La famiglia del musicista non ha specificato le cause del decesso. “La morte di Joey ci ha lasciato con il cuore vuoto e sentimenti di indescrivibile dolore. Per coloro che conoscevano Joey, capivano il suo talento, la sua personalità gentile, il cuore gigante e il suo amore per tutto ciò che riguarda la famiglia e la musica“.
Sono state innumerevoli le reazioni da parte delle rockstar e dei colleghi del grande batterista che, attraverso i social, hanno voluto esprimere il proprio tributo alla sua vita e alla sua carriera:

We are saddened by the news of the passing of our dear friend, Joey Jordison. From being able to share the stage with him numerous times throughout the years to Matt standing alongside him for the Roadrunner United album. He was always super gracious to all of us in Trivium. pic.twitter.com/LS8E06QT0A

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

Sad to hear the passing of Joey Jordison. His drumming in @slipknot inspired me as a teenager, as it did to many other drummers my age. I’d spend a lot of time jamming that first album in the school music room. RIP.

Absolutely shocked & gutted to hear of the passing of @joeyjordison. In addition to being an incredible drummer, he was always a classy guy. When he heard how much of a fan @MaxPortnoy_ was, he sent to the house a giant box filled with @slipknot swag: shirts, hoodies, backpacks… pic.twitter.com/Ga3xtZk8ec

To say this dude created an entire generation of drummers would be a massive understatement
