Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has taken to social media to stamp out a fast-growing rumour about who the metal legends' new drummer is. The band shocked their fans earlier this month by announcing that Jay Weinberg, who had been behind the kit for almost a decade following the departure of Joey Jordison in 2013, had been removed from their lineup permanently.
That sparked weeks of rumours about who could replace Weinberg, with some mischievous posting leading many Slipknot fans to speculate that extreme metal drummer Jeramie Kling could be the man for the job. Kling had announced his exit from UK metallers Venom Inc followed by a hastily deleted, cryptic post featuring the Slipknot logo, which sent the maggot community into overdrive.
