No real information or reasoning given yet, just a very simple and brief post on their website. Seems a little sus though, as it was announced a few hours before they're supposed to be on stage. Almost seems like it had to have been something sudden and drastic. As an extra kick in the balls, they had just announced earlier today that Clown is going to miss a bunch of shows due to his wife suffering some health issues. So, fingers crossed for Clown and his family as well. metalinjection.net/news/breakups/slipknot-splits-with-keyboardist-craig-jones

Apparently Slipknot has deleted the posts now. The plot thickens

Meanwhile, a new mask look (new person?) has been posted as their latest on IG. https://www.instagram.com/p/CtNWusNP7PB If it is a new member, a lot better starter than Drummer Man, Bass Man, and Tortilla Man got to start out with.

He was on stage with them tonight as well, in Craig's spot. I'm a huge Slipknot fan, but I almost expect them to hang it up after these dates they have booked. Clown has talked about them not really touring anymore, and now they've lost another member. Corey has a successful solo career, and could easily get Stone Sour back together if he wanted. He's talked about touring being tough on him these days as well. Anyway, this whole situation is really f***ing weird.

Why not just have a different guy under the same mask? You could even have Jim Ross come out like he did with Fake Razor and Diesel.

Sure, but when the good and quality greatly outweighs the bad, that’s what I’m gonna base my guess on their future on. 7 hits vs 1 miss (at least on my scoreboard)? I’ll put money on them having a better next effort. Especially if it’s their swan song.

I have no idea what Craig even did. so his main role was playing samples and stuff live, because they have a lot of stuff in songs especially early on that's just "weird electronic noise or soundbite from some news report" type of things. Also if they needed a third guitar part for a song to make it sound right live they had him play it back. Of course, those are roles that can just be played by having protools on your laptop now so he also had a bunch of keyboard parts.

I just recall on their official site they had all these videos about each member, and Craig's was about three minutes of him headbanging and pushing a button every once in a while. I couldn't figure out what he did that the DJ couldn't do.

I’ve been mostly unimpressed/uninterested with Slipknot since All Hope Is Gone and I actually gave the last album more of a listen than the last few after really liking Adderall. That was a great tune. On topic, never saw the point in having a separate sample guy when there’s already a DJ in the band.

I for one blame the Nostalgia Critic for the demise of Slipknot.
