Joey Jordison

Joey Jordison 是一位美国音乐家和词曲作者，他最出名的身份是重金属乐队 Slipknot 的创始成员兼初代鼓手，在乐队中他被编号为 #1。他狂野、技术精湛的鼓点定义了乐队最初四张录音室专辑的声音，并使他成为他那一代最受尊敬的金属鼓手之一。除了 Slipknot，他还是恐怖朋克乐队 Murderdolls 的吉他手，并创立了金属项目 Scar the Martyr。

Jordison 的影响力超越了他的主要乐队；他曾与 Rob Zombie、Korn 和 Ministry 等艺术家合作演出和录音，并在他去世时是黑死亡金属超级组合 Sinsaenum 的成员。他的传奇在于他结合了原始的力量、音乐的多样性和激励无数音乐家的不懈职业精神。[编辑]

Nathan Jonas Jordison 在爱荷华州得梅因长大，是 Douglas 和 Jacqueline Jordison 的三个孩子中的老二。他的父亲是外科医生，母亲是家庭主妇。他有两个兄弟姐妹：一个姐姐和一个弟弟。Joey 对音乐的兴趣始于早期；他 11 岁开始打鼓，通过听 Kiss、Iron Maiden 和 Black Sabbath 的唱片来自学成才。

高中时，Jordison 曾是包括 Modifidious 在内的几支本地乐队的成员，该乐队将死亡金属与鞭挞金属融合。他还曾在一家音乐商店工作，在那里遇到了未来的 Slipknot 成员。毕业后，他曾短暂上过大学，但辍学追求音乐事业。1995 年，他与打击乐手 Shawn Crahan 和贝斯手 Paul Gray 共同创立了 Slipknot，最初是一个副业项目。乐队混乱的现场表演和激进的声音很快在得梅因的地下音乐界引起了关注。[编辑]

Slipknot 于 1999 年发行的同名首张专辑取得了商业上的突破，销量超过两百万张，并在 Billboard 200 强榜单上排名第 51 位。Jordison 的鼓点是其中的亮点，在《"Wait and Bleed"》和《"Spit It Out"》等歌曲中得到了充分展示。接下来的专辑《Iowa》（2001 年）更加沉重，并在 Billboard 200 强榜单上 debut 排名第三，巩固了乐队的地位。

2002 年，Jordison 与主唱 Wednesday 13 组建了 Murderdolls 作为副业项目，并担任吉他手。他们的首张专辑《Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls》在 Billboard 200 强榜单上排名第 103 位。他继续与 Slipknot 一起发行了《Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)》（2004 年）和《All Hope Is Gone》（2008 年），后者 debut 排名第一。2013 年，由于一种退行性神经系统疾病暂时影响了他的演奏能力，他被 Slipknot 开除。之后他创立了 Scar the Martyr，并于 2013 年发行了同名专辑，2016 年加入了 Sinsaenum。[编辑]

Jordison 被广泛认为是重金属中最具技术实力的鼓手之一，以其速度、耐力和双踩技巧而闻名。他的舞台表现充满力量和侵略性，常常被比作机器。粉丝们，被称为 Maggots，将他视为 Slipknot 声音的关键缔造者。媒体报道集中在他的鼓技和离开 Slipknot 的消息上，他后来透露这是因为横贯性脊髓炎，一种导致他左腿暂时瘫痪的疾病。他一直保持着相对私人的生活，让他的音乐自己说话。[编辑]

The collective following of Joey Jordison, known universally as Maggots, has long served as the primary vessel for his legacy. This community, organized with intense dedication, frequently mobilizes to honor the founding member's contributions, particularly during tributes marking his death or anniversaries of his tenure. While no distinct moniker exists solely for Jordison's personal fanbase, the Maggot identity encompasses his status as Number 1, with fans often citing his technical prowess and the tragedy of his departure as central themes in their discourse. The narrative surrounding his dismissal due to health struggles remains a defining element of this fandom's history, fueling a protective attitude toward his memory and the circumstances of his exit from Slipknot. According to iFANN's August 2026 evaluation, Joey Jordison is currently evaluated but does not hold a placement in the published Global Top 1,000 rankings or any Top-100 scope list. The system confirms that he is currently unranked in these specific global scopes, reflecting an absence of current numerical placement rather than a lack of historical impact. Despite this lack of a specific ordinal rank in the current dataset, his standing within the heavy metal canon remains undisputed, supported by enduring media coverage and consumption signals related to his recorded work. The evaluation process acknowledges his significant influence while noting the absence of a quantifiable position in the current global hierarchy.[编辑]

Jordison's signature early Slipknot mask was a Japanese kabuki design featuring a metal plate over the mouth and bolts, inspired by horror cinema. Although left-handed, he performed on a right-handed drum kit setup. He possessed proficient guitar skills and occasionally performed guitar parts on recordings. A passionate car enthusiast, he maintained a collection of classic and custom vehicles. His love for horror films significantly influenced his stage persona. A widely retold story among bandmates involves turntablist Sid Wilson's first impression of Jordison; Wilson recalled seeing him play and questioned if he was human, calling him a phenomenon due to his extraordinary ability to cover every musical element. Another anecdote describes how current drummer Jay Weinberg jammed with the band while Jordison was still active, only for Jordison to be gone the very next day, highlighting the suddenness of his departure. These narratives, alongside the verified account of his dismissal in December 2013 due to Multiple Sclerosis, form the core of his legendary status within the metal community.[编辑]

Jordison 的父母 Douglas 和 Jacqueline 支持他的音乐抱负。他的父亲在地下室为他建造了一个隔音房间来练习打鼓。他有一个姐姐和一个弟弟。Joey 从未结婚，也没有已知的子女。自他去世以来，他的家人一直管理着他的遗产。[编辑]

Jordison 与 Slipknot 成员 Shawn Crahan、Paul Gray、Corey Taylor 和 Mick Thomson 密切合作。在 Murderdolls 中，他与 Wednesday 13 合作。他的录音室工作包括与 Rob Zombie、Korn、Ministry 和 Metallica 合作演出。他还为 System of a Down 和 Marilyn Manson 的专辑做出了贡献。[编辑]

Nathan Jonas 'Joey' Jordison, the founding drummer of Slipknot, died on July 26, 2021, at his home in Des Moines, Iowa. He was 46 years old, having been born on April 26, 1975. According to an official statement released by his family and confirmed by multiple outlets including Variety and Pearl Drums, Jordison passed away peacefully in his sleep. The cause of death was not officially ruled by a coroner or medical examiner in a public autopsy report; rather, the determination was based entirely on the family's statement that he died naturally during sleep. No police investigation or foul play was suggested at the time of the announcement. Regarding his final days and circumstances, no specific details regarding his health condition immediately preceding death were publicly disclosed by the family.

However, discussions among fans and former bandmates have circulated regarding a long-term illness. A Reddit thread referencing insider accounts suggests that Jordison had been suffering from a severe, undiagnosed illness which was previously mistaken by some peers for substance abuse issues. Despite these rumors, the only confirmed fact remains the family's statement of a peaceful passing. There is no record of a last public appearance prior to his death; his final known professional activities involved his work with Scar the Martyr and various drum clinics leading up to July 2021. Because the death was reported as natural and occurring peacefully in his sleep, authorities did not intervene. The handling of his affairs appears to have remained strictly within the private domain of his family and estate management.

The news of Jordison's death triggered an immediate and widespread outpouring of grief across the music industry and among fans globally. Immediate statements were issued by major institutions and peers. Pearl Drums, his longtime sponsor, released a condolence message highlighting his status as a founding member of Slipknot. Members of Slipknot, including Shawn 'Clown' Crahan, later expressed deep reverence for his talent; in interviews conducted years later (e.g., May 2026), Crahan stated Jordison 'made me the best I could ever be' and recalled his early influence in the Des Moines metal scene. Former percussionist Chris Fehn also paid tribute, describing Jordison as a 'phenomenon' who could 'cover everything,' noting that playing alongside him was 'very intimidating' due to his unparalleled skill.

Fans organized online vigils and shared tributes on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, where Jordison's official pages saw a surge in activity. While specific chart numbers for the week of his death are not detailed in the provided search results, it is standard industry practice for bands to see significant streaming spikes following such announcements. His legacy continued to be recognized in lists of greatest drum solos, with his performance on Slipknot's 2001 hit being named among the greatest of all time in subsequent years. Details regarding the specific date, location, and nature (public or private) of Joey Jordison's funeral or memorial service were never made public. As is common in the heavy metal community, while informal gatherings may have taken place among close friends and bandmates, no official public ceremony was announced or reported in the available sources.

Since his death, Jordison has been honored through retrospective features and continued recognition of his technical prowess, such as Stewart Copeland praising his techniques in 2026 and Sid Wilson identifying him as 'the best' Slipknot drummer in 2026. The estate was handled privately by his family, with no public statements or legal filings regarding its administration or distribution found in the search results.[编辑]

At the time of his death in 2021, Joey Jordison's net worth was estimated at $30 million, derived from decades of album sales, touring, and merchandise. Per iFANN's editorial analysis, this valuation reflects the substantial royalties generated by Slipknot's catalog, particularly their first four studio albums. His side projects Murderdolls and Scar the Martyr contributed additional income streams throughout his career. Touring remained a major revenue source, with Slipknot's live performances consistently selling out arenas worldwide. Posthumously, his estate continues to earn from streaming, licensing, and merchandise sales. As of 2026, his estate is managed by his family, with no public disclosure of its current valuation.[编辑]

作为 Slipknot 的一员，乔迪森 (Jordison) 凭借歌曲“Before I Forget”于 2006 年赢得了格莱美最佳金属表演奖。该乐队还在 Kerrang! Awards、Metal Hammer Golden Gods 和 Loudwire Music Awards 等奖项中获得多个其他提名和奖项。[编辑]
