Slipknot Drummer To Tour With Korn

Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison has confirmed rumors that he will sit behind the kit for Korn this summer. "I'm lucky to have had the opportunity to perform with bands that have influenced me as a musician over the years," Joey said. "When I first heard Korn they blew me away and I have been a fan ever since. I'm looking forward to playing drums with these guys for the next five months!"

Joey will go straight from tour bus into the studio to continue work on the new Slipknot CD which will surface in 2008.

Korn's management confirmed earier in the month that temporary drummer Terry Bozzio had completed his work on the band's new record and is no longer working with the group. Bozzio, a legendary drummer known for his work with Missing Persons and Frank Zappa, plays on some but not all tracks on the album. Brooks Wackerman of Bad Religion played with the band several weeks ago at a youth volunteer show in Los Angeles.

Bozzio replaced founding drummer David Silveria in January, after Silveria announced at the end of 2006 that he was taking a "hiatus" from Korn for at least one album and tour.

Korn's eighth studio effort is due this summer. The band will headline the 2007 Family Values tour starting in mid-July, with Evanescence, Hellyeah, Atreyu, Trivium and Flyleaf also on the bill. The on-sale date for most of the shows is April 28.

Thanks for the report to Blabbermouth.net.

SAWEEEET!!!! hope they give him a dum solo with the rotating chair like with slipknot shows

[RedOrange]

Interesting..

[tigerbum]

i thought that slipknot and korn dont get along very well. i believe that they once burned korn's picture back then

[The Novice]

im not that into any of the bands..BUT Joey is still one of my favourite drummers so, cool for him

[Jaguar17]

AWESOME! I hope they bring that show up to Canada. With Hell Yeah opening, it'll be a big mother F#&%*'n show!

[fender1133]

I thought this was a guitar website. Talk about staying on subject.

[ndfcartman]

Sweet! I have to admit, I'm not too fond of See You On the Other Side, but I've liked Korn for the longest time. I regret not going to the last Family Values tour, but I'm going to try my hardest to go to this one. It seems David's drummming wasn't so great on the new record, maybe Joey will throw in some kick ass fills.

[koerok]

Joey for president dude.
I like it maybe he wil inspire KoRn and otherwise inspire Joey for the next Slipknot album.
Love it Love it Love it.

[Children Of War]

I dont really like Korn, but Slipknot is one of my fav trash shit...So...Yeah...I hope Joel would do give some life to Davids lame drumming

[CheifSlapAhoe]

That is pretty cool.

Good for Korn.

[Shabalaba]

Joey is one of the if not the best drummers in the world, why hes goin to be drumming for korn i dunno. They havent made anything really good for ages.

i guess so. Its funny cuz slipknot used to talk all this crap about korn because david did some modeling for some company. Now joey is in his shoes or pedals now

[guitarLG2087]

awesome, im a huge korn and slipknot fan, both of them on stage..pretty sweet

[MetalorDIE]

i thought Bozzio was going to play drums for the summer tours according to the forum that was posted about how he was filling in for David acouple months ago? But if Joey is gonna be on drums this summer that will still be kick ass! Great drummer and two great bands!

Yeah, I thought it was Bozzio too. Eh.

Checked

Funny you say that, because they only burned David's picture, because he was in a metal band, yet he was out doing modeling ads for the gap and shit and looked like a total prep. They were trashing him for that, and I ironically I think Korn was even poking fun of him doing that in the "twisted transistor" video.(If you've seen it, youd know what i mean) Even more funny that the drummer from the band who burned his picture is now taking his place. lmao!

But I'm really surprised to hear this news too. I thought Bozz was on for their touring and stuff too, not just studio time. Joey's got some pretty big shoes to fill now, but I totally know he can do it! They should have just had Joey do both to be honest...

[ohmerrymayhem]

Word - maybe this'll bring some of the intensity back to Korn's music that's been missing since after Issues.

[ohmerrymayhem]

I mean, I don't like slipknot.. at all.. but that guy's a helluva drummer.

[_sam_]

joey is a reaaaly talented drummer, almost too talented for Korns style...but hes good enough to fit in. lol the fat bad religion drummer is cool too haha surprising he played with korn

[deathchord19]

Family Value,i gotta go Atreyu,Trivium,Korn and my fellow Texans Flyleaf not to mention Joey, im definitly gonna pay a visit to relatives in Phoenix

[deathchord19]

i gotta go to that tour visit some relatives and see Joey as well as Korn,Trivium,Atreyu,and not to mention (i think so) fellow Texans Flyleaf

[deathchord19]

sorry bout the double post

[SURFraptor7]

I can't believe Frank Zappa's drummer played with Korn.

Zappa is amazing.

[cookdizzle]

this is indeed weird because the whole picture burning thing, but corey from slipknot/stone sour sang a couple korn songs live once when jonathon wasn't there (i think it was at last years family values) so maybe its water under the bridge

[sicfreak91]

Slipknot CD - 2008 ... **** yeah!

[DR_SH]

sounds cool

I'm a fan of both bands, Am I the only one that's not expecting Joey to be doing anything amazing behind the kit? that's me not saying he's saying anything against his drumming.... the guys f**king awesome, but its not like he's going to be recording their new album hence he's going to be playing David's drum lines. while I know next to nothing about drums other than what I like the sounds of, isn't most of KoRn's stuff quite basic?..... although it would be cool if he did get to do a drum solo as an encore or something

it was last year at Download..... but come to think of it stonesour were on last years family values to my knowledge. if you had a problem with another band would you let their singers side project on your tour. I think its safe to say that is all behind them now. I remember something about Marilyn Manson falling out with Jon over something in the late 90s and yet he asked him to do vocals on the queen of the dammed soundtrack.

[hiro0911]

korn n joey...hell yea!!

[XeNoCiDe730]

damn...

if Bozzio isnt playing w/ them live I see no reason to go

I'll probably download the album or borrow it from someone, hopefully Bozzio didnt just play w/ them for the check and I really hope he wasnt told what to do by a producer or the band, hopefully he let his creativity, style and godliness shine through...

thats a lot of hoping

[metalmanbass]

I love Bozzio's stuff with Frank Zappa. Zappa is one of my idols. Bozzio was really entertaining live on stage with Frank on songs like Titties and Beer.

[metalmanbass]

But damn Joey is good too.

I guess because im blind, gives you the right to point it out in front of everyone!!!!

[twitch1331]

Why does Evanescence have to be on Family Values? I don't mind Fly Leaf, nor Atreyu...But Amy Lee seriously just needs to give up.

I'm ready for some HellYeah! And Trivium though.

Ready for Korn as well, haven't seen them since 2006.

Checked.

[TiDyCaTT900]

holy crap...Joey with Korn..this really is a wet dream come true to me lol

[Scarlatti]

Yay, this wil be nice

[Kris_HSI]

this just made korn better, all tho thats a pretty ****in shitty bill for family values

[kbr]

NO DOUBT, PRETTY DISAPPOINTING

[Wir3d]

Well thats pretty gay i thought Bozzio was going to play for them...

[vamprocker]

[darkfire_storm]

so, does this mean that slipknot cd is confirmed? cuz that friggin rocks.

as for korn, always loved them, cant wait for the new record... and joey drumming for them on tour, with all those mostly cool bands too? thats one hell of a tour, ill have to go.

[KoRn's_child]

Hell yah...Joey drumming with KoRn is gona be sweet, but I still would rather perfer David over any other drummer.

[soadrocker103]

i only want to see hellyeah and trivium from that shitty family values tour. i do not understand why evanescence is co-headlining, or actually ON the tour for that matter

[shiznac]

You are very right, but Joey is a fan.it was his ideads 2 copy KoRn and capitalize the k and t (SlipKnoT) u can c at www.black-goat.com

who ****ing cares? slipknot sucks and so does korn now adding a shitty drummer from slipknot wont make korn any better in fact maybe worse cuz he might take his mask off and it will be like when kiss did that and everyone will see he's an ugly no talent poser

yes, and you, my friend, are probably a 16 year old homo-repressed mama's boy probably at this VERY moment playing with yourself. if you really dont have anything better to do than bash on others' favorite bands, then u shudnt hav dropped out of school

its true. Joey is an INSANE drummer. have you seen the DVD? he was UPSIDE DOWN.

Checked

[F-ing Hostile]

joey's amazing, im still just a little dissapointed that dave isnt gonna be there, cus i love his style, but joey owns really hard so its all good

[Spit it out]

Im sorry im waaay out of the loop here but wtf happened to david?

[Norse_Iron_King]

not a huge slipknot or Korn fan, but I think Joey's famous enough now to move from being labeld "Slipknot Drummer" to having his name used.

[ironman316]

maybe joey can bring in some actual drumming to korn's music. seriously, i could have played korn's beats when i was 5. yeah. before i started playing drums. which i know suck at. and could still play their beats. now i play guitar.

They're talking about Joey Jordison (drummer), not Corey Taylor (vocalist).

[JWJW]

^ Yeah but Corey was the one talking shit about Korn not Joey. Ah well, should be good...Joey's one of the top Metal drummers.

Checked.
