[edit] Hieght

Anybody know how tall he is when you see the pictures of him with Metallica at download hes like a foot shorter than all of them lol —Preceding unsigned comment added by King Alaric (talk • contribs) 20:54, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

He's like 5'3", not that this belongs in the this talk page at all. Talk pages are to discuss improvements that could be made on the article. REZTER ^TALK ø 20:58, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Biased info

Removed the following piece of horseshit:

"He is arguably considered to be the most skilled and disciplined drummer in the alternative metal circuit."

[edit] Images

For some apparent reason, the Wiki all of the sudden became lifeless with no pictures at all. I took the liberty of adding a name image which i found. <--PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THAT IMAGE. Also i found an image of joey at the drumset. later thought tell me that the picture is not revealing enough to his identity and appearance. If you guys can find a picture that is not very common and looks cool, feel free to replace it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by MrJoeyJordison (talk • contribs)

I removed both of the images. Images on Wikipedia need to be free, and can only be unfree images when it would be impossible for another image to be created. In this case, another free image could be created. Also, images are added in Wikipedia are added for informative purposes not aesthetics. --Wildnox (talk) 20:50, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Fine, ill add one for informative purposes, damn guys wake up a lil. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MrJoeyJordison (talk • contribs)

I removed the new image. It fails the fair use criteria and, from the looks of the image, not a free image.--Wildnox (talk) 22:40, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Playing with KoЯn

This should definetely be interesting, as Slipknot and KoЯn feuded in the past. Looks like that's been made up. He'll be playing the drum parts that Terry Bozzio came up with on KoЯn's upcoming 8th studio album, so he'd better get to practicing! He'll be on the Family Values Tour 2007; check the page to find out when they're coming to your town. URFG 15:51, 21 April 2007 (UTC)URFG

it wasnt made up. they patched things up bway before he joinded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.230.65.145 (talk) 10:34, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] kabuki

Kabuki actors don't wear masks. also, it's not kabuki in anything. the face paint is wrong. fix it.

"fix it"? what's with the commands? It's your wikipedia too, you fix it.Noit 07:45, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

The credit is fine. He's getting enough credit for what he's doing. I also added in the Ministry info (it's a shame that so many people aren't interested in Ministry anymore). misterknowall

[edit] Credit

That article doesnt give Joey all the credit in the world he deserves. Also, Joey has no tattoos (the only member of the band to do so), therefore it is incorrect to say that all the Slipknot members have the Tribal 'S' tattooed on them, in fact not all of them other than Joey have it. Slipknot are the greatest band of all time.

                                                   Maggot666 28/08/2005

This article is very biased and does not give him enough credit. He has done way more than what this states. TearAwayTheFunerealDress 14:16, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

JOEY IS NOT THE LEAD GUITARIST IN WEDNESDAY 13!!! THE LEAD GUITARISTS NAME IS PIGGY D!

but now wednesday has regrouped wednesday 13 and the lead guitarist is eric griffin (murderdolls)

                      --- i just wanted to correc that ^^^

[edit] Annonymous (666)

This article does not, DOES NOT give Joey enough credit for what he has done.(!!!)There is more to this.....

Would someone like to help rewrite it? TearAwayTheFunerealDress 15:04, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I read this on a Japanese sales review spot

…スリップノットのドラマーの奴もマゾンナさんの大ファンだよ！ [1]
"The drummer from Slipknot is a huge fan of Masonna" … Is this true? Nagelfar 05:26, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

is there any actual documentation of his death? Any news article, press release, anything? I understand that if this just occured today nothing official would have yet to be made let alone sent out. But how does someone filling out a biography and Myspace find out about it before hand?????

[edit] Cymbal Dilemma

Joey actually uses alot of cymbals. He does not use stagg cymbals but uses Paiste cymbals instead. This once said it but now has been reverted to him using 3 stagg cymbals. Please change the section back to his previous state (When he uses Paiste cymbals). Thank you. micoolio101 (talk)

[edit] No bullshit anymore, please

This is an online encyclopaedia, and not a fanboy forum for fanboys to write their uninformed and biased POV's. And nobody cares if you think he's hot or what's your fauvorite band. This is a discussion for the content of the article, not your personal preferences.

Anyway, I'm going to remove that completely pointless reference of how fast Joey is rumoured to be with his feet. Especially since it makes no sense. First you're talking about how Joey and Roadrunner United, and then just out of the blue you get the following comment: "He is rumoured to be able to play 27 beats in 4 seconds on his double pedal drum kit." - Spade

Quote:

"== Former Guitarist? ==

I thought Joey is the guiatist for Murderdolls . . . why does it say he's a former member? WereWolf 15:50, 1 August 2006 (UTC)"

Being a guitarist, is being a former member of the band.

I think Joey's ability in the double bass drum should be mentioned, I mean, look at Flo Mournier's article, he's less famous than Jordison and his skill at the double bass drum is mentioned. Cancerbero 8

Flo also doesn't have a billion drooling fanboys that know little to nothing of drumming. Not saying Joey's bad, but Flo has that mention for a reason: they aren't a 'popular' band on the level of Slipknot and the people who listen to Cryptopsy are likely to be able to judge drumming better than Slipknot fans.

Wikipedia is not a place for judging. There are too many judgements in this article. That is why there is a POV box at the top. Noit 05:02, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I'd suggest that Flo is renowned by DRUMMERS for his speed. Go to any drum section in a music forum, mention Joey being a) fast or b) the best ever and watch everyone jump down your throat

[edit] How is this factual?

Joey often sang like a mofo for his side project

Second paragraph of his biography

[edit] Height

I've removed his height from the trivia section, because it is useless and seemingly very controversial. Noit 18:51, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ministry

Ive removed the mention that Joey is disliked by some Ministry fans, this was for some unknown reason in the section about his Mask. (Zephyr 17:50, 15 December 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Kabuki mask?

Being that actors in kabuki only very rarely, if ever, wear masks, I am curious as to the origin of this kabuki mask, and its appearance, if a nice clear picture can be found. Is it a Noh mask? Is it a mask made to look like kabuki makeup? Or is it completely unrelated to actual kabuki performances, and only sort of looks like some stereotypical conception of what kabuki makeup looks like? Thank you. LordAmeth 23:45, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citations, please!!!

"While in high school, Jordison attended a jazz school and hung out with cousin Steve Allan White. This helped profoundly to improve his drumming ability, which has since made him become the top rated drummer by music media across the world." Can we get a citataion on this? I don't know about you, but this to me sounds like something written by some mallcore fanboy ignoring NPOV. I'm considering editing it unitl someone comes up with a reliable source to validate it. likelightoflies 09:05, 17 Januray 2007 (UTC)

And in the box says that he worked with Anal Blast, yet I don't see any citation. It doesn't even appear in the biograhy here!!! --Sheish 6 Sheish 22:51, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Citations would include Choosing Death by Albert Mudrian, Extreme Metal by Joel McIver or any of the Terrorizer references I cited over on the Slipknot talk page. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 17:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Who deleted the article about Joey's playing style?

Who deleted that, and why? I'm the one who created that article. URFG

[edit] Graffiti and Restoration

Somebody (not sure who) decided yesterday to delete most of the article and say about how some high school "sucks".

I have now restored the page to how it was beforehand

Also I definatley think something should be mentioned about Joey's speed.

If you have ever tried playing People = Shit, you will know how amazingly fast and difficult it is! 81.77.245.17 00:26, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question

does joey plays bass guitar?? in which band? Roadrunner United

[edit] Genres

I added Nu Metal, Heavy Metal, Death Metal, and Grindcore to the infobox. The first two are obvious based on him being in one of the defining Nu Metal bands, and all of his bands being in some form of heavy metal. The second two, on the otherhand, I think may meat some resistence, but I placed there due to his involvement in Modifidious and Anal Blast.--Wildnox (talk) 21:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm also suggesting that the genre might be better shortend to Heavy Metal alone, since all of the genres currently listed are subgenres of Heavy Metal. --Wildnox (talk) 21:58, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

But what about grindcore? grindcore ain't any kind of metal, grindcore is punk. Perhaps is a punk genere, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

they are Metal so just have that

they are just ppl that don't kno how to play their instruments or songwrite very well 66.66.144.28 20:52, 26 October 2007 (UTC) --Wildnox (talk) 12:52, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fact-checking for Emperor claim

When did he play for Emperor? I'm fairly certain that Emperor never had him appear live with them. Trym has been with the band since 1996. If nobody has any actual facts for this, it should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.186.240.194 (talk) 16:41, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
