You're definitely not the only one anon, lot's of people- especially Joey fans- are upset with how he was treated. He deserved better, and perhaps a controversial opinion is I think his death was probably preventable.

An article Interviewing Corey had him describing Joey as a very complicated guy who as much as he was talented, was very 'tortured' (There's no elaboration on this).

I KNOOOW ):

Its VERY bizarre and I’ve seen it too, i tend to see it more with short men? For some reason? I.e. Joey Jordison, Frank Iero etc maybe it’s because teens can project easier on someone that’s their height idk. That could tie into the trans man infantilisation because we also tend to be on the shorter side.

Its definitely teens, all the people getting mad at me for saying I find Joey sexually attractive are teens claiming I’m ‘sexualising him’ and its ‘disrespectful because he died’. Like no he was hot the whole time. Teens can and should be interested in music! And music communities, but they shouldn’t be butting themselves into adult conversations when they aren’t old enough to grasp the topic.

Tbh, part of me wanted Joey to stay with korn cus I'm biased and bc I thought those dudes are so damn chill (at least in comparison to how sk members talk about what it's like to be in the band). So when he got to Sherry the band's chef part I was like 'YOU COULD'VE STAYED FOR THE GOOD FOOD 😫'

Also i just learned about the Ministry thing recently was that true? Cus then joey was a fucking saint for still touring with them

I remember him talking about writing a biography, but i think he said it got rejected at some point. I don't know why or if he did manage to write anything before passing away. I wish we'd gotten it ):

AND YEAH COULD YOU IMAGE JOEYS INFLUENCE ON KORN SONGS... But at the same time it would mean we didn't get All Hope Is Gone, and what would we do without his drumming on Psychosocial, Dead Memories and Gehenna.

But speaking on Joey's other bands, i've noticed this pattern of whenever Slipknot had a break between albums- with Joey at least- there was so much animosity towards him joining other bands during this time from Slipknot themselves. Like Shawn especially refused to talk to Joey (Or Corey during Stone Sour) when he was playing with the likes of the Murderdolls.

According to Joey himself there was a whole year where Shawn just didn't talk to him because he thought he was abandoning Slipknot for these other projects. And I was talking to Acey about this and he said out of Slipknot, only Corey and Paul actually supported Joey's projects outside of Slipknot; the other guys were totally against it and shirked him for it. It made Joey so spiteful that he'd purposely book Murderdolls tours so he didn't have to go back to working on the Slipknot album at the time.

I feel you on that, the finality of death i think when it comes to anybody is something hard to grasp.

Physically yes he's gone, but he's still around us. As cliche as that sounds. We still have moments in time in the form of photos, videos of his voice from moments long passed, yet we still get the luxury of experiencing them. And his incredible drumming of course, preserved forever in various songs. Although he's gone, its like we still have pieces of him to hold

SAME. Not naming names, but there was a blog who posted the link, in the tag (as you said) and then when confronted went 'Curate your own online experience' and blaming OTHERS for what they posted?? Like what the fuck?? YOU posted it! Thats on YOU! Why the fuck were you even sharing it?? No offense but if you're sharing such a moment, such a traumatic, private moment when the family said not too- you're not a fan. End of.

!! Thank you so much :D! Sorry this is a late reply, i hope your days and nights are going great too!

I'm super stoked about the Murderdolls news too, although i've recently ran into a lot of confusing contradictions on the way.

Despite both Acey and Wednesday (On their patreons) saying a Murderdolls 2022 tour is happening, combined with the new Murderdolls Official Instagram; AND Wednesday asking about Murderdolls tracks recently for a setlist; Wednesday has been using pictures of his W13 band when eluding to the upcoming US dates which makes it seem like its a W13 tour.

So now i'm just majorly confused as to when the Murderdolls tour is happening. Wednesday also hasn't given any new dates for the previously postponed UK tour dates which are referred to as postponed rather than cancelled. So now i'm way fucking confused LMAO

OOO i have so many, literally all his looks have been great

The main favourite, so cliche I know since i'm pretty sure this is most people's favourite. But its so iconic, I actually wear this makeup style pretty regularly. Joey and I share the same hooded eyes feature, so his styles are a blessing honestly. Do you know how hard it is to make eye makeup look good with hooded eyes? Stupidly hard.

But i have to admit, my heart and love lies with his Rejects era makeup. He actually repurposed this look into a later Slipknot mask:

In Women and Children Last, i think his looks were amazing; however, and i know this may be controversial- I don't think the style really fit the Murderdolls image. Or at least, the image that had been established with the first line-up and album. That being said, i'm fully aware of the events that lead to the second album's creation in the first place, and I feel it fits that tone. But it's not very 'Murderdolls'
