This week we celebrate the life of modern metal drummer and pathfinder Joey Jordison, aka #1 of Slipknot, who passed away July 26 at the age of 46. We center on live Slipknot performances; plus recordings by his early bands Modifidious, the Rejects, and Murderdolls; his fill-in spots with Metallica and Korn; and recent bands Vimic, Scar the Martyr, and Sinsaenum. Roots in Power for an anchor of the modern metal era…
