    Thanks for checking out episode 50 with former Slipknot percussionist, Chris Fehn, #3. Please share this with any fans of Slipknot. I am truly honoured to have had this opportunity because this is Chris' very first interview since his departure from the band in 2019. He has been a part of the metal industry for over two decades and has contributed significantly to the success and evolution of Slipknot with his incredible live performances and distinctive Pinoccio inspired mask.
    In this episode, we chat about his time before Slipknot and some of his career highlights, playing drums on 'These Old Boots' also featuring Mick Mars and Dee Snider, taken from my dad Phil Campbell's solo album 'Old Lions Still Roar', being blown away by Joey Jordison's drumming, playing bass guitar in the band Will Haven plus his future music plans.

      First time I seen them was around that time too. It was at a small venue on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Just before they went on the Ozzfest run that year. Linkin Park, Papa Roach and Mudvayne was there too. They played The Heretic Anthem. Corey said it was the first time anyone's ever heard it. He said they were about to "Rip our heads off and shit down our necks". And they did......They absolutely nuked the arena with that song. Tore the roof completely off. I have been to 5 more shows since then and that moment was the best. Absolutely insane.
      So sad to see what they've become.

    I’ve always liked Chris. I loved how him and sid would go off stage to go walk and greet the fans. To him being one of the ones setting some of the funniest slipknot moments. Also being honest with how slipknot in the early days was just such mental abuse without being scared of like maybe i shouldn’t say this because i might get in trouble with the band, nah he would just say it. I’m so glad he talked about Joey, and how in his instagram posts he makes it clear he misses Joey and loved him. While slipknot just posted a black picture and took them a week to even say anything. He’s just great, he seems like a great person. Rest in peace Joey and Paul.

    its amazing to see the vibes that chris gives off compared to say...corey...ive been a maggot since they showed up in 99...i can remember down to the minute when my life changed because of slipknot, they for real were a part of what shaped my life (static x on the other side). i was always supportive of corey and his out spoken ways...ive been ride or die since day one. BUT,
    to see the negativity and shadiness that is just rampant from guys that i adored. you can CLEARLY see how honest and stand up Chris is...and all i hear from the other end is Corey and Shawn literaly pre-emptually setting up weasel ways out of something that they claimed to love....ive tried and tried to stay on bored, but especially now with the abrupt lose of Jay (who has clearly dedicated his career to them, life long maggot...and this is what we get? somehow we went from a legitimate movement of individuality to a fucking shell corp...that has no interest other than money. Us maggots have been shunned by the ignorance that is now mass produced from (i cant believe im saying this) a total representation of greed, monetary value related to a brand, and a TOTAL disregard for what the beginning of slipknot meant to people. Shame!
    i have legitimately given up on slipknot as a whole...the fact that i have totally disregarded the latest album hurt me on a cellular level. but i refuse to support any longer these sellout, greedy, selfish, ignorant individuals. R.I.P. the knot
    p.s. i never thought i would say this also...im now Glad that i never got a slipknot tattoo (which i have many representing things that i love)...i would be truly EMBARRASSED to have something on my body that is clearly a hollow misrepresentation of something that i can no longer associate with with a clean conscience. I believe that there are many many maggots that would agree with every single word i have just written. It truly is a sad day.
    p.p.s
    what cowards. not only did they put the message out (just like firing joey with a bullshit email)...they disabled the comments because they KNEW what would come if we the maggots could speak, AND on top of that immediately removing the post because of the intense and heavy backlash. spinless! I want so bad to have someone tell me Im wrong, the only problem is...IM not!

      @johnaranjo2059 ok "my guy" I'm not gonna sit here and reiterate the entire back story of the 5 piece band and "mfkr" and the line up changes and what the sound was prior. We actual fans all know the "batman" origin story and it doesn't need to be rehashed.
      We know that and unless you're from Des Moines in the mid 90s (which you're not) you can shut your fucking mouth and move the fuck on...thanks for playing.

    To those saying he didn't contribute are ignorant and clearly missing the fact that his backing vocals live were a big factor in their live performance.
    Try listening to Nameless live and omit Chris's vocals .

I especially liked hearing about Paul and Joey from him ,its nice to hear from him after a while.

    The extra percussion contributed to Slipknot's heavy and unique sound as well as allowing for the energetic and chaotic live show. I always loved the percussion only section of The Blister Exists with Joey, Clown and Chris playing in perfect unison. As well as percussion, the backing vocals from Chris (and Clown) were important.

    Amazing interview! He seems like a pretty awesome dude and by the words he used to describe working with your dad, I’d say he’s thankful for working with people that allow him a space to express his ideas. Even though he’s not a virtuoso he brought up so much to the table for slipknot in various forms. His performance live was pretty damn cool to experience, and that fkn mask is so iconic!

People here are crazy for slipknot and heavy metal and I was in RiR in 2011 (caught Joey on the band that time) and 2015 (this time with Jay). In 2011 specially it was fire, they outperformed Metallica who was headlining that day. They played so well. Glad that Chris still holds nice memories from here. Chris, come to Brazil we love you! Nice work on this podcast pal.
