Famous Quote: "We just want to make as many enemies as possible. We're here just to piss people off with whatever we can find."

About - At age 25 he helps write most of the Slipknot songs. He says some of his musical influences include anything from Slayer to The police to Cannibal Corpse. He prefers to wear his old Japanese Kabuki mask. He is believed to be the first to refer to his bandmates as maggots. Joey was also in a band with Craig Jones(5) called Modifious. He is the shortest member of the 'Knot and is known by his black long hair with red streaks.

The Facts:
E-mail: joey@slipknot1.com
- His real name is Nathan Jonas Jordison, but is always called Joey
- He is the most talkative member of the band
- He was one of the original members of Slipknot, and drummed for MFKR
- He mixed the self-titled album
- He is said to have an obsession with Fiona Apple
- Joey got the nickname "Superball" after one show that Slipknot played horrible in, so he got mad and started "bouncing around the room"
- He cuts the arm and leg sleeves of his jumpsuit so he can more freely drum
- His new IOWA mask is a Japanese Kabuki except it looks like blood dripping from it, but still prefers to wear his old mask
Unlike his role in Slipknot Joey plays guitar and helps write songs for the once band called 'The Rejects', but after some time underwent some re-organization... now they are the Murderdolls and signed to Slipknot's label, RoadRunner Records
