Top Ten Best Slipknot Members

The Top Ten
1 Joey Jordison Joey Jordison, was an American musician, songwriter, and record producer, best known for his work as the former drummer and co-songwriter for the heavy metal band Slipknot as well as guitarist in the Horror-punk band Murderdolls. He is the co-founder and drummer for the Blackened Death Metal band Sinsaenum ...read more.

Absolutely the BIGGEST MONSTER DRUMMER IN ANY GENRE OF MUSIC. His timing and 4 limb co-ordination is almost beyond belief. Are we sure that he is a human being. His makeup and expressionless face but faster then a speeding bullet movements make me wonder. When I watch videos of him playing, my eyes and brain can hardly understand what I'm seeing, and I'm referring to watching, STRAIGHT AND SOBER.

He's creative, has topnotch skills, and has a unique, entertaining drumming style. His music writing is essential to what makes Slipknot Slipknot. Corey brings a lot to the table, yes, but without Joey, I doubt Slipknot would become the band we all love.

I think I had to vote for joey over corey just because joey has more musical talent playing for korn in the murderdolls, he can sing he can drum like hell and he can play the guitar pretty well :) Go Joey but Corey is still awsum lol

I honestly couldn't pick between him and corey taylor. They are both amazing... But because of his speed on the bass pedal and quick hands I had to put him at 1. Joey jordison is 51 percent of the band... The other 49 percent is corey taylor.

2 Corey Taylor Corey Todd Taylor was born in December 8, 1973. He is an American musician, author, and actor best known as the lead singer and lyricist of the Nu-metal band Slipknot and hard rock/alternative metal band Stone Sour.

I can't even imagin what slipknot would be without Corey Taylor, or if they would even exist. He is what is keeping this band alive and has gotten them where they are today. Cory Taylor should be number 1. Because if there was no Corey Taylor slipknot would probobly be a crappy no name band in Iowa still waiting to be discovered.

He is the essence of Slipknot, he is what makes the band different to all the other nu metal bands, and gives so much energy to the music. If Anders stayed in the band, it would have been just another generic nu metal band and wouldn't be as successful as they currently are.

awsommmmme vocals... I really get I to SlipKnoT bec'z of Corey... he is not only the best member in SlipKnoT bt aslo one of the greatest vocalist here today... love all the band membars of slipknot... specialy Joey, #7... but Corey is the best... ImI...

You can find better musicians than the one in slipknot. Example : Kirk of Metallica is better than Mick or Jim Root, or perhaps you can find better drummer than Joey, but really you can't find any better vocal character in metal music than Corey has.

3 James Root James Donald Root, also known by his number #4, is an American musician, songwriter and guitarist, best known for being the rhythm guitarist for the American heavy metal band Slipknot, and the former lead guitarist for the American alternative metal band Stone Sour.

Slipknot songs would have no feel without James.. He's the most creative guitarist I have seen, he can play something as melodic and mind blasting as Stone Sour songs and something as crazy and headdbanging ad Slipknot stuff!

Awesome guitarist. Awesome mask. James is basically a heavy metal version of the joker, but with a guitar. Slipknot wouldn't be the same without him. No disrespect to Paul R.I. P

Lets face it, Slipknot solos would have no feeling if it wasnt for James.
Lets face it, Paul Gray is higher than James just because he is death.

Jim is just so much fun, and very talented too!

4 Paul Gray Paul Dedrick Gray, also known as The Pig or by his number #2, was an American musician, best known as the bassist and one of the founding members of the Grammy Award-winning metal band Slipknot.

He was a killer bassist, listen to some M.F.K. ARE Songs, maybe his talent wasnt very appreciated in new Slipknot albums. But he was Incredible. R.I.P.

Paul was the mastermind behind Slipknot's insane lyrics and musical style.

R.I.P. Paul D. Grey (#2) MaGgOt FoR lIfE!

for my:this is the best bassist in the world

5 Mick Thomson Mickael Gordon "Mick" Thomson is an American heavy metal musician. Born in Des Moines, Iowa, he is best known as one of two guitarists in Slipknot, in which he is designated #7.

I just started listening to Slipknot a few weeks ago and just one look at his mask almost gave me friggin nightmares

insane guitarist and great mask

That Mask is BADASS. Plus he is the best guitarist.

Greatest mask. Laugh out loud

6 Shawn Clown Crahan

I've heard way too many people say crap like the Clown has no Talent, well
I've never seen anybody with the hype, craziness, and ways to get the fans pummped up! The Clown is an essential piece to Slipknot, he is crazy, energetic beast on the stage. He gets the crap kicked out of him 24/7 and he takes it and the fans and crowed love it. Seeing him smashing poles into drums, and smashing into Sid just shows his spirit and love for what he does, he is one of my favorite members of Slipknot because he has the crazy "Slipknot" spirit on stage. He is amazing!

Without Shawn's artistic talent and skill in management Slipknot wouldn't have gotten as far as they have.

This guy is the mastermind behind slipknot. He is responsible for every small bit of their image.

7 Sid Wilson

He's the one who best understand what's Slipknot all about. His outfits, masks, stage personan etc. are just so wild, creative, unique and amazing

He's hilarious and a good person too. He donated 100$ to a struggling bar pianist, how can you not be appreciative of that?

He is the most extreme guy is this band. He is the best DJ too

Sid at least? Come on, Sid is amazing! Crazy!

8 Craig 113 Jones

Craig is living proof that rockstars or celebs in general don't need to do crazy things appearing in magazines and staying in the spotlight to remain famous and I resprct him for that and I think his mask is the best. By the way you spelt his name wrong, its 133 not 113

Craig's the best, as much as he doesn't talk. HE'S AWESOME. Also he doesn't sell himself to fame and keeps himself hidden which I respect him so much for. one of the few rockstars who hasn't got a GIANT ego. He's incredible.

Craig is awesome, even though he doesn't talk, he stands out in a band picture more than anyone else.

This guy always gets whiplash. if it was you id be saying trololololololololol

9 Chris Fehn

Great guy! NOBODY can play percussion like him! Great mask too. Definitely one of the best, I'd even put him higher on the list. Great percussionist!

"Best percussionist in metal music, and is a great live performer: he is extremely energetic on stage, and gennerally one of the best members to interveiw.

Most iconic Slipknot mask, and his screams are one of the most crazy things in the band

He is definitely my favorite slipknot member. The single most awesome guy on earth.

10 Jay Weinberg Jay Weinberg is an American drummer and the son of drummer Max Weinberg. He has played with the punk band the Reveling and toured in 2009 as a drummer with Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, substituting for his father.

He is perfect for slipknot. Brings lots of talent, dynamics, character, and uniqueness to the band and his drumming. People shouldn’t hate on the fact that Joey is not there now, but be happy they still have a drummer. And a very good one too

Saw him live, he's a good replacement for Joey. It sucks that Joey was lacking in performance after Paul's death.

He's down becouse he's new and I believe that he is very talented

Not as good as Joey in my opinion

The Contenders
11 Donnie Steele

Aside from being a great guitar player, Donnie is outstanding on bass!

Their best kept secret.

12 Alessandro Venturella Venturella is a British metal guitarist and musician who has served as a lead guitarist for Krokodil and Cry For Silence. He was recently the touring guitar engineer for Mastodon‘s lead singer: Brent Hinds, Coheed & Cambria, Architects, and Fightstar. is a British metal musician who has served as a lead guitarist for Krokodil and Cry For Silence.

He's British?! COOL. Strangely, his jumpsuit makes his butt look big. I find him to be a British reincarnation of Paul.

13 Tortilla Man
14 Anders Colsefni

This guy was the original vocalist before corey taylor joined who was homeless for the first 21 years of his life under a bridge. I don't know how he survived.
