The evidence continues to mount up that Slipknot have recruited drummer Jay Weinberg as their replacement for Joey Jordison. Today a former bandmate of Weinberg—Laura Jane Grace of Against Me!—tweeted:
“Dear Slipknot, good luck with that. #shitbag”
Weinberg hasn’t had the best track records with bands in recent years, having an inauspicious departure see here and here) from Madball and an apparently similar exit from Against Me!.
