- The metal band Slipknot is just as well-known for their unique costumes and masks as they are for their music, but sadly they have also become well-known for the many tragedies that have affected the band members over the years. One member found himself in a dangerous fight with his brother, another died of an overdose after years of struggling, and one faced unspeakable tragedy when his daughter died in 2019. In spite of this, the band has managed to work through the losses they’ve suffered and continued to record. Let’s take a look at the tragic real-life story of Slipknot.

Which is the best Slipknot album?
We are not your kind. They sound sober and clean. In other albums, I feel like they took too many drugs. I love all they're albums but their latest work is pretty amazing.
Iowa but self titled is amazing too
Iowa
Iowa
Iowa or We Are Not Your Kind
Imagine thinking your friend died of overdose,dumping him in a trashcan and seeing him become the singer
of one of the best metal bands in the world
I'd be like:
"phew I'm not going to jail."
Ain't that one of the lyrics on the song "orphan"?
@@fragramtelm8178 yeah 'there's still a part of me that's dying in a dumpster'
@@1zzymcd figured
people that like pro wrestling like slipknot. you're all clowns.
when i was about 6 years old, me and my dad ran into cory taylor. the only thing i can remember from it was him giving me a high five :,)
Lucky
r/thathappened
What place was that?
if you're gonna make up a story for likes at least spell his name right
@@ninin117 maybe he doesn't know how to spell his name
I wish there wasn't a stigma against metalheads as being violent and satanic, it's always been my go to music genre and I'd never hurt a soul
Well stop portarying yourself as satanic😂 Your such an idiot. Cutting yourself is satanic, drugging continiously ist good, stabbing people is a crime, and how satanic logos was in this video alone more than 10. Its satanic cant change that
but these people are obviously satanic and satanic
@@diansmit1885 you really dont understand how things happen do you, cutting is a problem that happens with mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression you dont have to be a metalhead or satanist or anything like that anyone can and a lot of people do struggle with things like that, stabbing people is not something we all do thats like saying hey every person on earth is a criminal its like no only a very small fraction are, the pentagram in general is a cool symbol that we dont use in a bad way either it might be used for stuff like that maybe but most people dont, metalheads are regular people like anyone, same as people who like rap or pop or country or anything its just music that we listen to or our style that doesnt make us satanists or evil or anything like that, we just sing about our emotions or what we feel or we describe events same as other genres except with metal most of it is negative emotion or feelings or events that other genres dont touch upon
@@keatonm7030 Bruh rap and pop regularly talk about bad emotions I almost wanna say constsntly and guess what the pentagram and goat is satanic my guy you cant change that just like the cross is christianity, the swastika is nazi, that blue star is a jewish star. You cant change its meaning and just by the shit these guys have done the looks they go for in concerts and the deaths at concerts show they arent exactly good and are quite close to satanic if not there yet and many metal bands cross the line even worse than these guys do
@@keatonm7030 And the fact that some of them like to feel physical pain and strive to achieve it is very much satanic my guy I dont know what you are on😂
I'm a 60 year old and loved metal my whole life and I'd much prefer to die in a moshpit than spend my last 10 years in a nursing home being spoon-fed. Power to you bro RIP
hopefully the dude wasnt getting stept on that would be an ass way to go out
You are a true hero
Then attend a show & get to it when they go back on tour
Hell yea!
@@blacki-chan5828 Nah it said he had a heart attack.
Once, Slipknot hurt themselves.
Now, they hurt others with their headbangers. RIP all necks.
Death is Legend I went to one of their shows in September with gojira and I couldn’t Loki up, down, left, or right the next day
Their music suck
@@Kevin-qw7is fuck out of here u bitch
Liam Wallace I was at that concert🤘🏼
Kevin Mendez fuck off little bitch boy
I was in the pit during that show at Tinley Park IL earlier this year. I remember seeing the older man being carried out. I never knew that he passed away, I remember seeing him before and during the show. RIP
Hell yeah Tinley Rocks 👊 seen ALOT of concerts their while working for Caterpillar
I was in the pit and saw him as well. R.I.P.
Same here. I remember them looking into the pit trying to see how to get to him. May he Rest In Peace🤘
Reeceypc wtf how did he die bro
Howd it happen? Trampled or just and old dude doing old things?
Saddly the tragic story didnt end there.
Thank you Joey

Rip Joey🙁❤️
Joey was a force of nature. He was my favorite.
@@KenobiStark1 when i See the all hope is gone Cover.... Fuck me ... Shivers. Paul and Joey.... RIP to those Legends
the track (515) is Sid crying. He wasnt suppose to be in the studio that day as his Grandfather had died the night previous. He came into the studio to vent the pain.
Their music is hella dark, but if you actually go into extremely deep into the band. It's quite wholesome how much they care about each other and their fans.
So then why the dark music?! It brings wayyyy to much chaos and danger. I personally think it isn't wholesome to be cool people and make songs that are not so cool.
@@lonzoballcandoitall4132 you’ll never understand. So just stop trying. Clearly you don’t understand or recognize the connection between the band members dark life’s and the dark music that comes from them as an expression of their pasts’ if you go and read their song lyrics as if they were a book you MIGHT begin to understand MAYBE but probably not.
@@joshieboiiyoh No, I do get it. I love angry and sad music that portrays what people have suffered. I just don't think they need to do it in the most violent way possible. Metal singers act like serial killers on stage and then expect people to not do something stupid. As someone who has psychopathic thoughts, it feels like an extremely dangerous way to show how you feel. It also attracts some bad people, although most of them seem to be there for a greater purpose (like you). I just don't understand the masks, the blood, the violence. It seems a bit too far, especially for good hearted people.
@@joshieboiiyoh jesus could you be any more cringe about it?
@@lonzoballcandoitall4132 i get what youre saying and i do agree, but people like that will exist always and do stuff like that regardless of their intentions. the cool thing about music is that theres always a musician or band out there to suit your taste, you just gotta look for them
he don’t care that he got left in a trash can by his bros?
DEATH WISH it’s a theory... he was high as giraffes balls hence blacking out overdosing
G.G. Scoota hahahahahahahahahahahaha high was giraffe balls 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They just threw him away like trash
I would’ve wanted revenge tbh I know revenge isn’t the best medicine but you don’t do something like that my homegirl almost overdosed 2 years ago ,I was high as giraffe balls also and I was the only one who wasn’t scared to take her to the damn hospital
bc it was the bois
Love how Craig's the only one without a story, he's just there admist all the chaos
Craig actually scares me. 😅
Maybe his story is simply so bad they’d be in serious trouble if anyone ever found out
Number 5 right? I always wondered, how the fuck did he walk around with all those spikes. And how do you perform without getting claustrophobia??
@@KenobiStark1 Being an introvert helps 😂
Cory Taylor’s son, Griffin, goes to the same high school as I do. He screams music in the hall and brings 2-liters of Coke to the class we have together. Weirdest kid I’ve ever met.
Andreas Collet stop lyingggg

Is Everyone gonna ignore the 62 yr old who was in the mosh pit and died after taking a hit
Love I didn’t even kno😂😂😂
I was there. Rip
Nope... we're just not gonna acknowledge it XD
what the fuck are you doing in a moshpit at 62
Ethan Lee barley I just wanna know who the legendary guy is 😂
So ridiculous how they blame music on things people do, does a spoon make you fat?
Exactly they never focus on the real issue and draw religions into it even though that is not even the point😐
If you eat it, yea
Id say the music would ve like food and the cd is the spoon .
It motivates
Like how guns don’t kill
People do
We decide what goes on
The guy that died in 2019 was in the grass seats, not down in the pit. He did fall down, but it is unclear wether he “took a hit” from someone or not. Took security/medical help 35 minutes to get to him. I was at the concert.
I believe they meant that he was in a mosh pit, which he was, at least he was able to have a good time before he passed...R.I.P :(
Same
Not Slipknots fault. Venues fault
Expired Monke of coarse it is not slipknots fault. It was one of the most amazing concerts I have been to. Venue failed.
Playboi World LMAOOOOO
The Iowa album intro (515) was only Sid, it was his live reaction to his grandfather passing away.
Vincent Taylor I was just about to comment this lmao
This is my FAV ALBUM
Thought it was Chris
Mike Vandine no
That’s fucked up
pretty sure you dont get into a band like that by having a bubbly childhood lmao
Is everybody gonna ignore all the comments from people who have never heard of Slipknot?
That’s what I’m saying
yes who cares.
Not the ones I'm reading lol
yeah bc it doesn't matter
Yes.
Irrelevant.
How do you break your back recording a album
Slipknot.
may be he flipped hard lol
This hits even harder now Joey has left us :(
as a medical worker, i always arrive at the hospital blasting metal. it’s literally my calm down before a soon to be stressful day at work. especially during these times…
I bet corey is really kind when you get to know him
he is
Very nice guy. I grew up in Des Moines and had several interactions with him. He lived next door to a good friend of mine - me and him both had black Nissan Maximas at the time and we would chat about our cars if he was outside. Always was down to earth and friendly when I talked to him.
I watched him on a podcast and he was great. Glib and well spoken….it was a great interview.
For some reason it was so nice seeing how Paul and Craig interacted backstage in that short clip. You'd NEVER catch Craig acting so friendly
Rest in Peace Joey. You massive legend. Never Forgotten.
RIP Joey. One of the best drummers of all time
A true Christmas miracle would be Chris and Joey rejoining Slipknot
Sex
Nick Hernandez true lol
or paul coming back to life
plorby true
Nick Hernandez probably because shots are being oppressed and half of us think we’ve done something wrong because of the media

This was great. I was there at pine knob, amongst the trees, in Clarkston Michigan when Slipknot first played here. A turning point in American metal history. Dynamic, thrilling and sometimes heartfelt, Slipknot a great, great band, with possibly the best front man since Phil Anselmo. A true force of nature. Thank you for this video 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Slipknot is one of my favourite bands of all time but their history makes me feel really bad especially when Paul grey passed away I just wanted to hug every member
REALLY??? ITS GRAY
I've loved this band since I was 11 (im 31 now) and have grown to love them more and more over the years but even though this is such a heartbreaking video to hear what they've all experienced, I love them and admire them all even more now, as after everything,
it shows how humble, nice, brave and inspiring all these guys are :) Well except for the money thing with chris :( I didn't like how they handled that with him :( very unfair and wrong to do that to someone who is like family! but he will always be part of the band in my eyes just like joey and of course paul :)
i will always love slipknot no matter what corey jay and everyone in the band, there music has helped me through so much
Agreed. Same here with me. As well as metal music itself. Guess what got me to like heavy metal? This whole PMRC with Tipper Gore thing back in 1985.
Iowa is still my favorite album by them. And Joey was my favorite member.
I realize how difficult it can be, being on the outside, to get an accurate account of a given situation but as far as I can tell Jordison got fired for getting seriously sick. He said not a single member of the band visited him in hospital.
I used to say Led Zeppelin is my favorite band but Slipknot is my religion. Even though I utterly loathe "cancel" culture, I doubt I'll ever fully regain the respect I once had for the band for not standing by their long time drummer. To this day he still reports to writing songs for Slipknot in hopes of regaining his place in the band.
The Riff Writer he got his myelitis from heroin addiction. He’s talked about it before. After the Paul incident, they weren’t dragging around another addict. That’s why they shunned him. Do I think it was right? No, but it’s what they chose.
@@parisite99 I've seen quite a few interviews and I hadn't heard that. I'm not saying I don't believe you. I think I just missed it.
Now I know my fare share of opiate addicts (might as well admit I am one) and I've never heard of developing a major neurological disorder over it. But again, that doesn't mean anything because rare cases happen. I once knew a guy who got all of him limbs amputated because of smoking. A circulation thing.
So I guess you gave me something to think about. And Google.
Edit: regardless, an addiction is never a choice. So maybe they should've booted him but not visiting him is still a dick move.
Yes it was really drugs and mark my words joe will be back they always left the door open they did a good job keeping a lid on
When joe fully recovers with time he will be back with them after all he's a founding member that started the band they just didn't want to lose ano
Always thought Joey was a prick anyway. Pretentious at the least. Toxic at the worst. Look at it like this: the band has always been like brothers. It takes some pretty grievous shit to be dropped like that. And on the subject of Chris that dude was one of 2 secondary percussionists in a 9 person band. Yeah I wouldn’t expect to be paid as much as the lead vocals or guitars myself. Bad form especially considering these guys should all be rich as fuck by now anyway to squabble over money. Where’s Yoko?
I truly enjoyed this video and I hope all goes well for this band from here on out. Thank you for being so great and I look forward to future stories. ❣️😻
Michael Myers looks like he could fit in..
Bruh I was at the Tinley park concert when the dude was hauled out on a stretcher
Bryce Sandy same same
Fuckin metal
It was horrible waiting on the medical attention while it all happened
This is a great video. People that listen to Slipknot, like me, should know these things to avoid them. Thank you for making this video.
Nice video. Thanks for the Slipknot info. I love the band so it was good to learn about them.👍👍
thank you Joey and Paul
Love watching multiple videos of this bands past cause i feel like i get a small detail i didnt know before.
Good video. But 7 ads... Really? On a 11 minute video. Jesus.
why am i watching this before bed?
bro same im scared now lmao
same lol
Scared of what? Your shadow ?
Adding to Corey Taylor assisting with medical emergencies i was at a Stone Sour concert where a young lady was dropped on her head while crowdsurfing and was totally unconcious. Corey Taylor happened to see it go down and yelled over the mic for paramedics helping to clear the crowd from the stage for the girl. Never really found out what happened to her but hope shes ok!
I hope she was OK too... but that being said, you can't pull an idiotic stunt like crowd surfing, then be shocked when you get hurt! I mean, COME ON
I still remember the day of the Krugersdorp incident, every kid including me and most of my friends where immediately send home because we either had Slipknot bags, badges, drawings or even book covers. And we weren't even in the same High-school. And for more than a year after it happened, no one could even say the word SlipKnot without someone freaking out.
Cory Taylor will go down in history as one of the best metal vocalists. Up there with Halford, Dickinson,Dio, and Alsemo. Hopefully not the last one.
Richard Binder and David draman
Chino moreno
Dont forget David Draman
Alsemo really man? It's Anselmo. And he's a better metal vocalist than the other few guys despite his attitude.
I came here because of the baby that stopped crying because of their music, that kid's got good taste-
This is very tragic though, but Im glad music exists so that many artists could express themselves
I've been a maggot since 98. I remember when they said they will quit when someone leaves the group. Now they have 3 gone... Joey, an original member along with Paul, plus Chris. 1, 2 , and 3 are gone. I enjoy the self titled album. That is Slipknot at it's most pure form. I have an original Slipknot orange jumpsuit for sale if anyone is interested.
When my sons were 5 and 6 they loved Slipknot and made me play it everyday on the drive to school. My oldest son liked physcosocial. And my youngest son liked dead memories. We had to jam both before they would go to school.
My favorite metal band and my second favorite band of all time.
Who's 1st?
You can't say their your second favorite and not say your fist
Foo fighters are my number one band.
Favorite song?

What a life these guys have lived.
As a fan since 2000, I was lucky enough to see the band in concert 2000 - and lucky while being right up front in a massive crowd. I was leaning (getting crushed against) the stage barricade about 5 meters away from the main stage staring at a huge red tapestry of the Slipknot logo. The energy was something I never thought could be a expressed. There were explosions and pyrotechnics from the start of their show - the DJ Sid jumped over my head and into the crowd and so did Shawn. He was pushed back to the stage and HE went right over my head the other way! He was soaking wet- it was August in California. Before Slipknot played their set, SLAYER played theirs! I was more nervous during Slayer cause I was close to the pit and my feet weren’t able to touch the ground , all because there were so many people pushing against each other that it lifted your body up, but your feet were six inches off the ground. Tattoo The Earth tour!
Never listened to slipknot before in my life but youtube recommendations find a way to make me interested.
This needs an update. RIP Joey
I was at the concert in Tinley park when the man died. He was in a pit made in the grass in the back. I watched and was dumbfounded at the lack of reaction by the employees that this man had been injured. Some of it was the employees not caring, and the rest was the fact that they didn’t have any form of communication with each other. The man collapsed and had a seizure during sulfur, and I didn’t see an ambulance till they were on their encore song. The situation could have been way better, and that man could still be alive. I don’t blame anyone for his death I just think they need to be better prepared for these kinds of things. RIP man
Damn crazy stuff, I'm just getting back into Slipknot and I was curious as to what has become of the band little did I know all this had happened
I was sad to hear of people getting killed at shows... always a tragedy. But a 62 year old in a mosh pit? Surely he should have had more sense than to jump into that, smh 🤦♂️
Stupid and dangerous for ANYONE - but ESPECIALLY so for someone in their 60s. 😒
Title: *The Real-life Story of *
Editor: Wait this isn't clickbaity enough, let's add *TRAGIC* for no reason
Rick Jansen everyone like this so grunge can see it
@Island Mike U so stupid you dont even get the point
I thought it was pretty dark.
My point is that this title is used for every band that's covered in this series
''his friends threw him in a trashcan, thinking he was dead''
friends?! those scumbags are the real monsters, not friends!!
Yes, it was a good wake up call for corey and i'm glad it helped him in the long run thankfully but those monsters are disgusting for doing that to another person! They should face punishment or something,
that's so heartbreaking how anyone could do that :(
Poor corey, I hope he has better people in his life now and so glad to see him doing better :)
Crazy to think a band like this can make such sad songs like vermillion pt.2 and Snuff.
What is so sad about snuff and vermilion

I met paul gray on the river walk in san Antonio during ozzfest. We took XTC together and he cried and said he didn't deserve the success. R.I.P Paul. The most down to earth rock star I've EVER met 💔
One of the best bands in the 🌍 i will never stop listening to them
Well they have 9 members in the band so naturally they have more tragedy than a normal 3piece band
I’ll never forget when I went to a slip knot concert. Only tome I’ve ever been crowd surfing. 10/10 would recommend
Timothy Distel yea if u want a cracked skull/permanent brain damage/ broken bones
dang this was a whole rollercoaster
few weeks after shawn crahans daughter died I saw them live and you could so see how it affected him.. that was so sad.. rip to all the ones who died here
Thanks for all the adds
Wow .... They're inspiring they put so much into their shows...... so very much it carries over to life..... I wish them nothing but good stuff moving forward....they deserve it!!!🤘❤💪💯😊❗
RIP JOEY JORDISON
R.I.P Joey Jordison 26/07/21..
A dark day in the history of music..Gone too soon..
I'm glad y'all sorta kinda made it. I miss Joey and Paul. I wish you had had more compassion for Joey.
I'm South African and remember when that incident in Krugersdorp was all over the news and in the newspapers... We even had these youth organisations come talk at the school to tell us about how bad drugs, metal and satan is.... The ones of us who enjoy rock and metal was so angry about this. Stereotyping sucks and living in a closeminded society doesn't help the situation
Ayyy Iowa represent
Skol Vikes, buddy!
Skol
I was at the san bernardino concert when that happened
I love learning about Slipknot and their lives. I watch like all of them. Kinda like Corey Taylor from STONE SOUR
i didnt know they was satanist
Was a safety/steward guard tonight at their concert at royal arena, Copenhagen. Absolute madness
Now do one for Pantera
I have a portrait of Joey and a Slipknot S tattoo. On the same arm, I have Vinny and Dime. Still the same arm I have two NIN, Manson, Lamb of god, SOAD, Motorhead, korn, and of course, Slayer.
🤘
DeathBat The Head They have a better story .
Iowa is in the top 3 metal albums of all time imo
I was at a Slipknot concert in Australia where Clown wasn’t able to be there due to his daughters passing. The band hung his mask and costume by his drum riser in respect.
I never really thought about their personal lives, I know that most popular bands or singers have drunk problems but holy shit.
Much love to the members that have continued their work despite their life troubles
Lots of darkness in the soul brings darkness to that unfortunate soul
I was down in the pit during the 2019 knotfest show and if it weren’t for the young guy that was able to pull me out, I probably would have died.
I used to listen Slipknot when I was a kid, Duality and Wait and Bleed were both my favorites
My favorite slipknot song is unsainted and pyscoscoal
I haven’t thought of this band in YEARS
“Regardless of their taste in music, they were tried as adults” perfect
The tragedy they didn't mention was they they continued to put out albums after their first one.
Jesus........I've never been more intrigued in something I've never heard of in my life
I was at the 2019 San Bernardino concert. I even have video of it on my CZcams channel. But my phone died before the get this. Which was after the incidental
Been listening since the first album, love these guys. That is the draw to the music, the lyrics, isn't it? Every fan I knew had a horrible back story, same as myself. It's just that these guys were better at putting into words the hell I had went through, lol.
