I hate Slipknot on all levels. I am, however, going to make my case in the Joey Jordison drum talent debate and say this:
Joey is not necessarily a terrible drummer. By all means, if he can play in a band as big as Slipknot and stay in it (regardless of the fact that the members have the collective intelligence of an underfed alpaca) then something can be said for his base ability to play the instrument.
That said, I think that his solos suck so much Ron Jeremy penis that every time I hear the mention of his name the drummer inside me dies a little.
Honestly, he might as well have set his rediculously large drumset in a circle of naked Koreans and let them slap their dicks all over the heads of his drums at will for three minutes, and all while lit by strobe lights and suspended over a crowd of thousands for no apparent motherfucking reason.
Lights and sounds, Joey, merely lights and sounds. You’re right up there on the douchebag wannabe pedestal with KISS. Congratulations.
