Joey Jordison was born Nathan Jonas Jordison on April 26, 1975. He was 8 years old when he first picked up the drumsticks, a move that would cement his future as a rock musician. He practiced hard during his formative years and even started his first band in elementary school.

\nIn 1995, Joey was app<\/a>roached to join a band called the Pale Ones as their main drummer. The band would later rename itself as Slipknot<\/em><\/strong>. Joey would continue to play with Slipknot until 2013 when the band announced that he had left for “personal reasons.” Joey countered with a statement that he had been fired and that Slipknot had been his life for 18 years and he would never abandon it or his fans.<\/p>\n

Joey announced in 2016 that he had suffered from transverse myelitis, a neurological disease that had hindered his ability to play drums near the end of his time with Slipknot. The disease left him without the use of his legs for a time and he required extensive rehabilitation in able to be able to recover the use of his legs. He was able to recover and continue his music career.<\/p>\n

After leaving Slipknot, Joey continued to play drums for bands called Scar the Martyr, Vimic and Sinsaenum. Although none of his other projects reached anywhere near the popularity or longevity of Slipknot, he continued to play and enjoy what he did.<\/p>\n

Musician Levi Benton had this to say: I remember watching a live VHS of Slipknot when I was in Junior Highschool and when the arena lights went out and came on with double bass and an upside down drum set illuminating a pentagram I immediately went to Hot Topic and became a metal head. Thank you Joey Jordison! RIP.<\/p>\n
