Last week, when we ran a column praising the talents of Slipknot’s young new drummer Jay Weinberg, our comments sections ate up a collective shitstorm of “this writer is clearly biased” to “hail j03y” to “this guy isn’t as g00d as jo3y” etc. Which is fine, Joey was in a band that meant a lot to so many people for a long time! Just not to me.
And like I said, I stood and watched the band’s entire set at Heavy Montreal and my opinion about the band didn’t change 1iota. But Jay Weinberg definitely held my attention – he just looks so excited to be up there! Despite his adrenaline and the amount of stuff going on around him (within an insane, pyrotechnic-filled stage show), he seemed so loose, every groove effortless.
There’s a new drum cam clip of him ripping through “Metabolic” for you guys to fight over. Jay or Joey? Volume quality is pretty bad, but the clip is still cool:

Honestly I can’t say anything either way. I couldn’t drum if my life depended on it, who am I to judge another’s ability… Slipknot has always been a bands I really enjoyed and I still very much enjoy them even with the new drummer. Seeing them live tonight!!!

I have to say i was quite disappointed when i learned Joey was no longer in the band, then i heard the new album and was quite surprised. I have to give credit where credit is due and Jay does an awesome job filling some big shoes.

I’m more surprised that they actually played Metabolic. I gotta see if someone caught a video of them playing it.
