QOTD: Firing Joey Jordison Was One Of The Hardest Decisions

I can’t talk too much about it because we’re going through the legalities of everything right now and settling everything, but it’s when a relationship hits that T-section and one person’s going one way and you’re going the other. And try as you might to either get them to go your way or try and go their way, at some point you’ve got to go in the direction that works for you. This is me speaking in the broadest terms, with respect to Joey. I guess to sum it up, it was one of the hardest decisions we ever made. – Corey Taylor on Joey Jordison‘s departure from Slipknot in the October 2014 issue of Metal Hammer
