Joey Jordison

ジョーイ・ジョーディソンは、ヘヴィメタルバンドSlipknotのオリジナルドラマーであり、創設メンバーとして最もよく知られているアメリカのミュージシャン兼ソングライターでした。彼はそこで#1として指定されていました。彼の激しく、技術的に正確なドラミングは、最初の4枚のスタジオアルバムでバンドのサウンドを定義し、彼を同世代で最も尊敬されるメタルドラマーの一人にしました。Slipknot以外では、ホラーパンクバンドMurderdollsでギタリストを務め、メタルプロジェクトScar the Martyrを設立しました。

ジョーディソンの影響は、彼の主要なバンドを超えて広がっていました。彼はRob Zombie、Korn、Ministryなどのアーティストと共演・レコーディングを行い、死の時にはブラックデスメタルスーパーグループSinsaenumのメンバーでした。彼の遺産は、生の力、音楽的な多様性、そして数え切れないほどのミュージシャンにインスピレーションを与えた絶え間ない労働倫理の組み合わせにかかっています。[編集]

ネイサン・ジョナス・ジョーディソンは、アイオワ州デモインで、ダグラスとジャクリーン・ジョーディソンの3人兄弟の真ん中として育ちました。父親は外科医、母親は主婦でした。彼は姉と弟の2人の兄弟がいました。ジョーイの音楽への関心は早くから始まりました。彼は11歳でドラムを演奏し始め、Kiss、Iron Maiden、Black Sabbathのレコードを聴きながら独学で学びました。

高校時代、ジョーディソンはModifidiousを含むいくつかの地元のバンドで演奏し、そのバンドはデスメタルとスラッシュを融合させていました。彼はまた、将来のSlipknotのメンバーと会った音楽店でも働いていました。卒業後、彼は短期間大学に通いましたが、音楽をフルタイムで追求するために中退しました。1995年、彼はパーカッショニストのShawn CrahanとベーシストのPaul Grayと共に、当初はサイドプロジェクトとしてSlipknotを共同設立しました。バンドのカオティックなライブショーと攻撃的なサウンドは、デモインのアンダーグラウンドシーンですぐに注目を集めました。[編集]

1999年のSlipknotのセルフタイトルのデビューアルバムは商業的なブレークスルーとなり、200万枚以上を売り上げ、Billboard 200で51位に達しました。ジョーディソンのドラミングは際立った要素であり、「Wait and Bleed」や「Spit It Out」のようなトラックで披露されました。 follow-upの『Iowa』（2001年）はさらにヘヴィになり、Billboard 200で3位にデビューし、バンドの地位を確固たるものにしました。

2002年、ジョーディソンはシンガーのWednesday 13と共にサイドプロジェクトとしてMurderdollsを結成し、ギターを演奏しました。彼らのデビューアルバム『Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls』はBillboard 200で103位に達しました。『Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)』（2004年）と『All Hope Is Gone』（2008年）を通じてSlipknotを続け、後者は1位にデビューしました。2013年、彼は神経変性疾患によりSlipknotを解雇され、その疾患は一時的に彼の演奏能力を損ないました。その後、彼はScar the Martyrを設立し、2013年にセルフタイトルのアルバムをリリースし、2016年にSinsaenumに参加しました。[編集]

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.[編集]

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.[編集]

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.[編集]

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.[編集]
