It's not actually members I found about this.. The only actual members of Slipknot are Corey Taylor and Clown, everyone else is a paid employee like a hired gun. Clown and Corey are the only guys who make any of the actual band profit the rest are literally paid like employees. Shinedown is like this too, the singer and the drummer the rest of the bad is paid employees.

Looking more and more like Slipknot is a KISS situation, with Shawn and Corey as Paul and Gene.
Jay had been in the band for almost ten years. Imagine that he asked for a raise or to be made a shareholder, and Shawn/Corey were like "nah, we'll just get someone cheaper".

I can't imagine how long it will take to train someone to do all of the songs and the double bass drum stuff. Percussion is such a huge part of their sound.

I legit had no idea Max Weinberg's son was in Slipknot. Guess the drums run in the family.

I saw them at the O2 in London back in January 2020.. I remember Corey saying We've been around 20 years and we will give you 20 more years worth of music". Not if you keep losing members.

That's like finding out Alex Lifeson was just Geddy Lee and Neil Part's paid employee.

Apparently it's been somewhat calculated over the years to replace original members with new guys who aren't part of the band financials and are just employees.

That's still 6 original members of the band though, 4 of whom have been there longer than Corey.

But I have legit heard from someone in the know, the only people in that band that have actual stake in the money the band makes are Corey and Clown, everyone else is paid a negotiated salary and that's that.

That's why Mick never bothers to change his mask, he might get fired any minute.

This is the current listing of band members: Shawn Crahan Mick Thomson Corey Taylor Sid Wilson Jim Root Alessandro Venturella Michael Pfaff Only the top 5 were in the band when I saw them in 2005.
