Joey Jordison (Spelling)

[larsROCKS]

ok guys i need your help once again. Does Joey use triggers beacuse i heard he does?can you please give me info on it if he does.
thanks

[isp_of_doom]

all i know is he has his bass drum tuned so he can gently tap it and it sounds like a cannon over the PA. probably uses triggers. Dont ever use his vile name around here again.

[larsROCKS]

haha dont worry i dont like him or slipnotat all. i was having an argument with another musician bout it andi tohught before i mention triggert i best have my facts right

[isp_of_doom]

well, he's bound to have done at some time.

[isp_of_doom]

I've found its easiest just to let people have their precious Joey, I dont want him....he's all theres

[Corkofski]

dont mention joey
your name is larsrocks

youre getting flamed...

[Aaron]

i think that i've seen video of him live where he had triggers, but im not sure whether its in his usual setup. [didnt add "who cares hes in a shiit band anyway" ;)].

[larsROCKS]

dont mention joey
your name is larsrocks

youre getting flamed...

i know my name is lars rocks, becuase i made this when i was young and stupid. my name does not effect my drumming ability or drumming knowledge therefor is irrelivent

[PrinceOfDarkness]

dont mention joey
your name is larsrocks

youre getting flamed...

aren't you the guy who is considering getting beat up for £150??!!
who are you to talk about getting flamed?! ha ha :lol:

I wonder if you can play songs like 'Battery' as good as Lars did in the old days? Oh, hang on, you probably weren't even born then

[Drum Phil]

i know my name is lars rocks, becuase i made this when i was young and stupid. my name does not effect my drumming ability or drumming knowledge therefor is irrelivent

6 months ago? :rolleyes:

[[UEAK]Clowd]

6 months ago? :rolleyes:

LMAO that's what I said... "yeah, back in march?"

[VTDS_xx]

^:lol:

Anyways, the Joey is getting old. If people like him, cool. Your opinions don't have to be the right ones, neither do theirs. To each his own I say.

[sleepless]

What I think is more interesting is the fact that most people on this forum flame Lars and Joey, yet don't have an ounce of the playing ability they have. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that they have more talent than a Portnoy or Colaiuta, but they have more ability than a LOT of YOU. The funniest part is, yeah, Joey uses triggers, so does Flo Mournier, but most of the people out there trashtalking Joey couldn't play a lot of the music he does with triggers on all of their drums. The last I knew he only had them on his bass drums. Just because he's not some prog god or a fusion virtuoso doesn't mean YOU'RE better than him. And yeah, I know Lars is a douche now but he has his place in drumming history. How many people here can say when they were a young drummer growing up that they didn't have thier Metallica moments? Very few of us Americans, for sure.

[PrinceOfDarkness]

lars was a good player - end of story, as i said, check out songs like Battery and if you still think he's pants then you know nothing about drumming

don't get me wrong, his attitude stinks at times, but most people slate him to be rebellious, but as Sleepless says, he has his place in drumming history

everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and the sad truth is that if most people on here were offered to trade places with Joey and Co they'd jump at the chance :thumb:

[-Obscurity-]

I have a trigger I'd like to use on Joey Jordison.

[Bone]

His kicks are trig'd and that's bout all that is last I saw. Everything is mic'd up of course.

Lotta players trig up the kicks for big shows, even if just to layer a lil sound under the real thing.

Not that'd I do that.. *shifty eyes*

[master_of_muppets]

Joey Jordision is a good player, his beats and fills fit perfectly into Slipknots music and if you listen to the new roadrunners united CD you can hear he is a great overall player. Lars is also a good drummer his band is one of the most important bands ever and he has influenced sooo many drummers who HAVE influenced you aswell, he just hasnt improved and nowdays he is a rich arragont rock star who cant make a drum part like he used to. What makes me laugh is this is an internet forum and people who even mention these names will get "flamed" beacuse its un-cool to like a popular band or drummer. If Joey was in a undeground death metal band you guys who be loving him its just cos he has money and he has a nice drum kit and you dont think he deserves it for some reason.oohh and Raymond from fear factory uses triggers.....

[playwithfire]

i know my name is lars rocks, becuase i made this when i was young and stupid. my name does not effect my drumming ability or drumming knowledge therefor is irreliventYoung and stupid? Have you really matured that much an grown up in like half a year? edit: Well I didn't read far enough to notice everyone else laid into him for it already :p.

A ton of "popular" music is drummed by Kenny Aronoff, Josh Freese, and session guys like that. They might not be pumping out anything amazing on pop records, but the guys can play, so I think if you knew what you were talking about, you wouldn't be typing a load of crap. As far as Joey being in a deathmetal band? No one would like him anyway, because no one really enjoys the "talent" or "creativity" involved in death metal... and as far as Raymond Herrera goes... who cares if he uses triggers. There's nothing inherently wrong with triggers, unless you're a lamer who barely taps a drum but wants it to seem like you're really steamrolling... kind of like that "world's fastest feet" druggie moron. Some people just use it to amplify their sound in live performances, or get a really steady sounding sound. Jordison probably uses them for that purpose too... I mean... if he didn't use triggers... no one would be able to hear his "uber wikked dubble base beatz" live :rolleyes:.

It's understandable, when I first came here my username was TrAvisBaRkEristehPWN666. Two days later I changed it to 733tmasterLars, then changed it a week later to SlipknotROXmyBallsandI<3Joeyinamagicalway. But after I stopped huffing gas, I finally changed it to -Obscurity-.

[Massik Kretal]

You should get smacked.

[playwithfire]

*gets smacked*. But then again, imo it's true. Not that many people like it, especially anywhere I've lived, the death metal scene is always a joke, and even when it isn't, people get very sick of sickly fast double bass, blast beasts, shredding guitar and screaming vocals. *shrug*, my opinion, and my experience.

[AtomShip]

Wow theres alot of suckups on these forms, whatever a drummers a drummer doesnt matter if people falsely praise his skills.

[Damo]

Ouch! Thats not true at all.

especially anywhere I've lived, the death metal scene is always a joke, and even when it isn't, people get very sick of sickly fast double bass, blast beasts, shredding guitar and screaming vocals. *shrug*, my opinion, and my experience.
But thats simply YOUR experience. Down where I live, just everyone I know cant stand freeform jazz and LOVES it when drummers play fast heavy beats combined with 150dB of crunching guitar and throaty growls.

Hey, it aint my thing either, but to say it is a 'joke' and that nobody really likes it is just wrong.

[Aaron]

ah perth..


the best drummer is the drummer that plays to the music.

joey does that. whether to do this he needs triggers, 30" crashes, whatever.. if he keeps the song going and adds to it, he's doing something right. i dont like slipknot's music, but that's my opinion and and i'm entitled to it, the same way that people are entitled to a positive opinion of it.

[ThugsRook]

Wow theres alot of suckups on these forms, whatever a drummers a drummer doesnt matter if people falsely praise his skills.
the only ppl falsely praising his skills are under the age of 18.
how many adults are in a Slipknot audience?

[PdoubleE]

do you relize joey was only playing drums for a 1 1/2 years befor there first album that alot to be accomplished!!

[Drum Phil]

Unless he joined at 7 and a half thats bollocks!

[Motleyguy]

do you relize joey was only playing drums for a 1 1/2 years befor there first album that alot to be accomplished!!

joey has been playing since he was 5. I used to be a huge slipknot fan, I've read about a thousand interviews and I know that you sir are full of ****.

[PdoubleE]

see i never been a fan of slipknot and i dont know a damn thing about em

[Motleyguy]

then why would you make a retarded comment such as that. Knowing it was false and all...idiot.

[Bone]

HaHa that's an excellent point.

[PdoubleE]

cause i had false information

[PdoubleE]

everyone always raved him hes not that good somone told me he started 2 years befor iowa guess hes worse than i thought

[Bone]

Joey is a good player, just simply many feel his skills are not deserving of the fame. However many forget he's not famous for his drumming, he's 1 of many who are famous because of the music they make.

[Motleyguy]

Yeah, we could go on and on about Joey. But we all know this will lead to nothing but a massive flaming and many pointless arguments rehashed. Anyways, Joey is solid, but doesn't have any feeling, and he is over rated. That is all I have to say.

[Massik Kretal]

I still don't get it. I keep hearing he can play good jazz drums. But it's hard to picture that.

[Double Bass Jim]

Where are the recordings of him playing jazz? :lol:

You'll never see or hear them ever.

[Det_Nosnip]

I still don't get it. I keep hearing he can play good jazz drums. But it's hard to picture that.

MM....last I checked, he's even said that his jazz playing isn't the greatest, he simply enjoys it.

[Crispy The Drummer]

you know... hitler used a snare trigger

death-metal??? cannibal corpse is death-metal. slipknot is more... nu-metal.

you are an idiot. if noone enjoys the "talent" or "creativity", no one here would discuss Jordison's use of triggers.

[darrell]

Clowd']LMAO that's what I said... "yeah, back in march?"

Hahaha... I was thinking the same thing as well. He must have had a birthday in that time period or something.

[sp1406]

Very few of us Americans, for sure.
I couldnt have said it better myself. No one should flame some one because they have different opinions than them. And about that Metallica moment thing, I have never had one. I hate them!!!

[metallas]

Believe it or not, Lars was one of the reason I started plaiyng drums.At my first 2-3 years I couldn't beleive what he was playing.After that, there was a period that I was influenced from some people from these forums and I said he was a *(+#$* drummer.Today after having heard more drummers, I cann't say that he is as talented as steve smith BUT I admit that his drumming fits perfectly with the band's songs and there many songs that I can't play the way he does and I also believe that many many players cannot either.
Stop blaming other drummers and start playing music while trying to gain something from all the drummers you hear

[metallas]

Where are the recordings of him playing jazz? :lol:

You'll never see or hear them ever.
Even that way I am sure that his jazz recordings must be better than mine , although my teacher insists I am of the 2 best he had(and he had many of them) especially on jazz.you have heard that his jazz skills are not good and you expect to hear a man playing worse than you (I don;t mean you jim, generally speaking)

[metallas]

do you relize joey was only playing drums for a 1 1/2 years befor there first album that alot to be accomplished!!
sorry to say this but you must be very stupid to believe or just say what you heard

[playwithfire]

death-metal??? cannibal corpse is death-metal. slipknot is more... nu-metal.


you are an idiot. if noone enjoys the "talent" or "creativity", no one here would discuss Jordison's use of triggers.If you could read, you'd realize that I wasn't the one who called Slipknot Death Metal. Someone else mentioned that everyone would love Joey if he was in some underground Death Metal band, but once again, that would involve you keeping calm and not having your blood boil at the sight of someone not being completely obsessed with Metal in all it's many forms. So... maybe you are the "idiot". Thanks for flaming me on your 4th post on the forum, I feel privileged ;).

[Voodoo Rabbit]

joey has been playing since he was 5

Didn't he start Guitar first?
Then started playing drums when he was 12 or 13?

[-Obscurity-]

Isn't he 12 or 13 right now?

[Sick-O]

I've never even heard him as much to even play a damn ghost note!!

[Fuzzy]

do you relize joey was only playing drums for a 1 1/2 years befor there first album that alot to be accomplished!!
Another ignorant statement. Jordison got a set when he was very young; I'm tempted to say 10, when his parents told him to go look in the basement for an Elton John record. He's won numerous awards for his work as a jazz drummer in high school. He's had plenty of time before Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat was ever released. But I guess you didn't know that album existed, did you? (Just a speculation.) I mean I don't love the guy, but Jesus Christ on a bike, what the hell has gotten into these kids? They say they love him so much and that he is the best, but they don't know ANYTHING about him or his previous experience.

Another thing- shut the **** up (Directed towards everyone.) Everyone has his or her own opinions. Who in the hell are you to belittle them? Do you not have your own favorite drummer? Do you not love a certain genre of music? What makes you think that you can bash anyone else, regardless of their opinions on drummers or their musical tastes? Grow up and stop littering these boards with your useless banter.

[ToneDef™]

Isn't he 12 or 13 right now?

:lol:

From what I've read on numerous occasions here and on other boards, everyone is just jealous of the guy. You can flame him all day but there is no denying the guy is a talented drummer. 'Slipknot' is just full of some tasty *** drumming if you ask me, and his snare sound = :thumb:. I've always loved the drumming on that album and I'm not about to start hating on it just 'cause it isn't the most technical **** going.
Obviously your gonna get the kids that are all like "OMGZZ!!1 Joeyz double bass iz teh pwnage LOL he gotz teh foots liek lightning LOL!!!1" but they're just the ones who don't understand it and think it's the fastest stuff they ever heard.. Which it maybe is!
Obviously everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I feel that opinions on Joey are usually influenced so heavily by the fact its 'cool' to bash him. He's an excellent drummer and it's just a shame his talents and obvious hard work he puts into his craft go to waste because of a load of jealous drummers who crave the fame and attention he gets in bucketloads.

[PdoubleE]

you totaly right no opinions are "stupid or wrong" to each their own and yes i am very ignorant to any aspect of nu-metal

[derryk]

^ then why pretend not to be?

jordison is alright, nothign special. the man can play, i'll give him that, but he doesn't measure up to some other people out there. the bad thing is that he gets more attention then those others, so if you like him, explore the realms of other artists, and you might change your opinion. if not, that's alright too.

[Motleyguy]

GOD DAMMIT!!! DO WE HAVE TO CONTINUE GOING THROUGH THE AGE OLD JOEY THING AGAIN? CAN'T A MOD JUST CLOSE THIS THREAD? THIS ALL THE SAME **** WE'VE ALL SAID AND HEARD COUNTLESS TIMES!!!


(yes I realize that was all in caps, and how aggravating all caps is, but the point needed to be exaggerated somehow)

Grow up and stop littering these boards with your useless banter.Come on fuzzy, you need to grow up. Telling a whole board of people to shut the **** up accomplishes nothing. I'm pretty sure everyone involved in this thread realizes that everyone is just stating their opinion and no one is pretending their's is the law of the land.

I don't like death metal. I appreciate their talent, though, as with every form of music (by the way, rap isn't music in my books. Not a whole lotta respect for them.) :P

why isn't rap music. Because they use electronic beats? Then in your books I'm assuming techno, and industrial aren't music either?
