Mask: Currently Joey wears a latex modified version of the Japanese
Kabuki mask he used to wear. This mask has physical ingravings instead of just
paint. Joey used to wear a Japanese kabuki mask that was marked up with black +
red paint. He got the idea when one late night on Halloween in the 80s his mom
was waiting for him and we he came home trashed , hiding behind the door was his
mom in a robe with this Kabuki mask on, he says it scared the fuck out of him.
His meaning is: "It's open ended and it's got so many different meanings that
you can't just pin point, stereotype or pigeon hole. It could be love, beauty,
hate, disgust - it's all that stuff in one!"
Side Project: Murderdolls
About: Joeys Birthname is Nathan Jones Jordison. Hes about 5'4''. He
plays drums and guitar also. He is one of the orignal members of Slipknot, and
came up with the term Maggot(describing a Slipknot fan). He is also the shortest
member of the band. Joey has came up with alot of the riffs for slipknot songs
and has also written some of the songs for instance scissors which he also
mixed. After one show that was of really shitty quality by slipknot, a pissed
off Joey went backstage and was "boucing around the room" which then earned him
the nickname of "superball". Joey worked at a record store called "Music Land"
and a gas station called "Sinclair's". Joey designed the trademark "tribal S"
that is shown as slipknots logo. Joey also drew the main Slipknot logo, and the
large "K" and "T" is rumored to have come from the fact that at that time he was
a huge KoRn fan. Joey is into a lot of Death Metal and was a huge fan of "Kiss".
The other band that he loved was "Black Sabbath". Joey likes to cut the arms and
legs off of his coveralls, making it easier to play drums.
Joey got this in 5th grade, he played guitar in some primary school bands. The
drum set came to him as a surprise gift from his parents; they had asked him to
go into the basement to look for an Elton John tape, Joey found within the
basement a fully set up drum kit
Hobbies: video games, sleeping, and sex
Ex-bands/side projects: Joey has been in bands called anal blast, Avanga,
Modifidious, Visceral
His side project was called The Rejects, but the band had to go through some
changes and is now called 'The Murderdolls'.
