Absolutely shocked & gutted to hear of the passing of @joeyjordison. In addition to being an incredible drummer, he was always a classy guy. When he heard how much of a fan @MaxPortnoy_ was, he sent to the house a giant box filled with @slipknot swag: shirts, hoodies, backpacks… pic.twitter.com/Ga3xtZk8ec

Very sad to hear about Joey Jordison. Never crossed paths but he was an incredible musician. 46 is no age. RIP.

Shocking horrible news. He was the first real extreme drumming influence on me as I’m sure he was for an entire generation. I’m sad I’ll never get to meet you and tell you how much your playing made me want to play but I’m sure you already knew what you did for so many people RIP pic.twitter.com/HII47J5TwE
