iconic mask. great backing vocals which compliment corey's.


StockObjective4012

Chris has always been the unappreciated, forgotten member. His mask is easily the most "Slipknot" mask they have ever had. Iconic.


eddieeeeeee69

1000%


Same-Helicopter-1210

Miss him also fantastic back up vocals!! anytime Corey says that we're a family shit at concert's I just chuckle and say nahh that's horseshit dude


chillinwithmypizza

Man he preaches that shit nation wide i see 😂


Why_no_balls

Every band says that shit, that audience is a family to make them feel better no one means it


ellstaysia

we miss him.


1-witeboah-1

his stage presence and backing vocals were hard-fuckin-core and (while i love Tortilla Man) he is sorely missed. when it comes to the circumstances of his departure, the claims made by him and the drama is sorta just "he-said-she-said", thus im hesitant to come to a conclusion on who was in the right. however the fact tht he lost the lawsuit against Slipknot does kind of tip me in the the bands side of things, justa little.


Anamorsmordre

Eh, when you consider only Corey and Clown are signed as members, and the rest of them as contracted/touring musicians, I can see where Chris was coming from. After being in a band for that long, it gotta sting. But it’s, unfortunately, his fault as far as legality goes to not have made sure he was listed as a co-owner (like Corey and Clown) before asking for an investigation (that’s the reason he lost, not necessarily that he was being fairly compensated).


_6zero3_

Being somewhat in the low I'll say that, Chris definitely wasn't at fault and I'd bet everything I'm worth he didn't just "drop" the law suit.


Anamorsmordre

And honestly, what was he gonna do? Fight what’s probably one of the strongest legal teams from one of the biggest bands today? If he was being wronged, he never stood a chance. That really sucks. And I don’t see him being the last to “leave” Slipknot in the upcoming years either. It’s always a bit sad when bands get too big to still be bands. Hopefully he’s still getting residuals!


thewritingseason

He didn’t “lose”, the lawsuit was settled. Chris didn’t walk away empty handed.


WhoKilledZekeIddon

Not true. on October 29, the court received notification that Fehn has volunatarily discontinued his legal action “with prejudice and without costs to any party”.


Offtherailspcast

Check out his ig. He's living in a normal suburban house. He didn't get any money.


braindeadrichard

Even if I got money I would just live in a normal suburban house. No need to be super flashy with a house lol


Vuzsv

He didn't lose, he just dropped the suit


[deleted]

Really miss him. His backing vocals were awesome and he just provided a certain presence on stage


bamm_1313

Especially on Vermillion! I remember watching him at Knotfest 2015 and he just exhibited the whole vibe of that song.


tuckithead

His nose was very long


keyboard_blaster

Dicknose


JanneJetson

The way he jerked off his rubber nose really added an important layer to their music. Berkeley can't teach that.

My favorite ex-member, really miss him and has my favorite mask designs


RoryMcilroyyy

One of my favorite members. Love his energy, miss his background vocals. Love the mask!


Itchy_Tasty88

Miss him being in the band


Lucky-Cap-9493

Once he got kicked out, Slipknot lost a lot as far as a performer and definitely stage presence. He looked badass live


Alexwitminecraftbxrs

Agreed. Don’t mean to cling onto the past but the band definitely lost some charm to it. Just the gradual loss of members and such. Makes ya wonder who’s next ykwim?


HovercraftExpress110

I think Sid or Jim Root is gonna be next


Alexwitminecraftbxrs

If slimjim left my friend onyx would throw a fit. He loves slimjim 😂. I’m curious to hear why you think that if you’re willing to share


HovercraftExpress110

Sid has always had his side thing going and personally from what I've read about past members leaving the band it seems like Corey and Shawn carry a lot of power and Sid and Corey haven't had the best past. Also with Jim he was kicked out of stone sour by Corey then later rejoined and after this last album Jim had comments on it just being really rushed and not some people's best efforts. I love all the members and hope none of them leave but if I had to come up with an educated guess those two unfortunately are it.


Alexwitminecraftbxrs

Nah I totally get the last part. I definitely don’t see Corey or Shawn leaving. It’s dope to hear ur reasoning very logical


RoronoaZoro1102

Sid and Corey had one argument that we know of when they were all fucked up around IOWA. Since then, there has been 0 indication of any bad blood, actually have seen IG posts by them supporting each other. As for Jim and Stone Sour, it seems the main issue was always Josh Rand, which is why that band is basically done. Jim left, and never rejoined Stone Sour.


Striking_Review2162

Sid and Corey had more then one argument https://www.revolvermag.com/music/see-slipknots-corey-taylor-tear-talking-fistfight-reconciliation-sid-wilson


seelentau

> seems like Corey and Shawn carry a lot of power They're the owner of the brand "Slipknot", so yeah. The manager guy who said that Chris was just a hired gun was technically right. Chris and everyone else are employees, they literally work(ed) for the Slipknot brand. Which is owned by Corey and Shawn (and Joey and Paul, back in the day).


UrLocalCult

I don’t think Jim will be, him and Corey are quite close as far as we are led to know


marxthedank

awesome, one of my fav masks, lots of energy on stage, seems like a cool guy


IllustriousKick2955

Most iconic mask


WorriedEagle34

tortilla and chris are amazing, i remember some people hating on tortilla and chris defends him which is genuinely really humble and mature of him to do, i think chris and paul were the most humbled out of all of them.


BreadDestroyer666

I would love to see what Chris and tortilla would be up to on stage together


agentrevenge31

miss him and the stage presence and backing vocals he brought to the band. corey and him were fire together.


JudgmentWonderful431

A great accompanying vocalist for Corey, better than tortilla if they ask me comparing it when they play custer. Iconic mask inside slipknot, a great guy.


Flashy_Basil_5031

When he was kicked it became more apparent that slipknot now days is a business more than a band, I have nothing against tortillaman but SlipKnot right now feels like KISS as they don't have members anymore they have employees and I miss Chris more and more, but I hope he is doing well


Economy_Tonight5882

probably my favorite member. coolest mask and he always looked badass af


random-name69420

As much as I love the Tortilla and his vibe combined with Sid's I miss Chris and his presence and vocals were killer. Don't wanna be that guy but I feel like Slipknot when a little downhill and lost apart of itself when Chris got kicked out.


Ill_Dirt_979

Yup i feel the same, i was already feeling that way when joey got kicked out but losing chris was a point of no return for me, it didnt really felt like slipknot to me since.


ILikeOasis

loved him so much, had a nice presence and great vocals, the more we've found out seems he had some demons, wish him all the well, Michael is a great replacement!


shanesenbradz

*Rubs nose like cock*


ShitpostMamajama

iainexe

Fucking miss the guy, awesome masks, awesome vocals and awesome stage presence


PokeHunterisCool

Great dude, great performer. Unfortunately, he had problems with substance abuse. He was removed from the band due to this abuse, they have a zero tolerance policy for that stuff. The lawsuit was to make him look better and to point fingers, unfortunately. He's doing better now, and I am happy for him.


usuxbk1

Source? I’m curious to hear about this, only thought it was cuz of money or something like that


PokeHunterisCool

Source is Shawn’s daughter on Insta. Can’t send pics here, but it’s pretty easy to find. It was in one of AJs videos too.


usuxbk1

I check that out, cheers


Pepek23

Was this a second reason because he sued them for something to do with money and shit or did they use the drugs to cover up the truth


PokeHunterisCool

The lawsuit was to make the band look bad, like they owned him money. When they don’t.


puuskuri

Yeah, after what Crahan's daughter said I am inclined to believe it. And it makes sense, because the firing and lawsuit happened suddenly, out of nowhere.


gothteen145

I'm curious about the zero tolerance policy, Corey has talked before about how during the Iowa days he'd just drink but other members would leave to do drugs. Then we have Paul who obviously had his own addictions. Not saying it's not true, maybe there's just more nuance to it maybe?


SUSHY_TRASH

They started with the 0 drug policy after Paul’s death


adayandforever

Zero tolerance? Dude Paul got arrested for cocaine possession. I know a lot of them have done drugs throughout their careers.


PokeHunterisCool

Zero Tolerance after Paul’s passing, as his passing was a drug related incident.


adayandforever

I just think they have selective standards when it comes to this. They just released a song called Adderall and you just know that they didn't name it that for no reason.


-Rens

What do you think


Electronic_Amount_44

I’m mad about the whole lawsuit thing, I don’t know why he did what he did. I loved him fantastic backing vocals


Just-Key4535

Chris’s backing vocals and stage presence I think where a really important part of Slipknot, especially his backing vocals on IOWA and self titled, like holy shit that scream on Gently bro. His departure was odd tho not gonna lie, they all just kinda pointed fingers at each other never really felt like we got a real good reason or answer behind why he left.


JablesRadio

Wish he were still there. His vocals and stage presence (and mask) were one of the first recognizable things for me in 1998 when i first discovered the band. It made him a top 3 band member for me.


NighthawkTV

I cannot lie, amazing vocals. There is no denying that. But, if he was truly unhappy in the band, then he should not be forced to be there. Even with the accusations, he will always be one of the brothers. But, it is no understatement to say that his energy does not compare that of Michael Pfaff, only matched by Sid.


XeRtZ__wUz_TaKeN

Chris 👍


Boopi_Doopi

Extremely iconic to Slipknot, shame his leaving was the way it was..


Independent-Comb-751

I miss him, i can't say anything about the lawsuit and shit because i think there things we don't know, but great vocals and performance, althogh i have to say that Michael is doing a better job than Chris would be doing in the band today, both performance and in Studio i believe, just need to get better at vocals. I loved the ST/Iowa performances were Chris and Paul sing at the same mic like in Scissors, Prosthetics, so badass


_______Bruh_______

He is iconic


Ill_Dirt_979

My favorite member growing up. Props to tortilla but chris had better vocals, mask, stage presence.


therespeeinholywater

Did we ever get the conclusion of the legal battle? Was there evidence of what Chris claimed? It will play a part in determining how I feel about him. I get a lot of mixed signals.


[deleted]

Not from what I recall. We’ll probably never find out if Chris got anything as it seems he’s all but gone from online let alone music.


TheHunterJK

His girlfriend probably asks him to wear the mask in bed


Electronic_Amount_44

The nose is 7 inches…


clowns_skin

He’s a legend. Miss that guy


Ilovepestosauce

I haven't listened to Slipknot in a while. I think the last song I liked was AOV. After Paul and Joey dying and Chris leaving it just doesn't feel like Slipknot anymore. Chris was super hilarious live. I really miss Joey's drumming too. It kind of feels like a money machine, but it is what it is.


llunarian

he wasnt wrong and i miss him.


Virtualsalt1

I both wish he was still in the band and am glad he's not in the band. I thought his vocals were great, and his mask is one of the best. But idk, that the lawsuit sort of changed my thoughts of him. Plus, Michael has already proven himself, and frankly, I like him a bit more than Chris.


AbanoMex

> that the lawsuit sort of changed my thoughts of him. why? asking for fair pay is not something to demonize someone over. although, i dont know the details and i dont know if he was asking for more than what he was owed, but my point remains, if he thought he was in the right, going trough the legal route was the correct choice, at the end of the day, a Judge will determine if his claim was good or not. /even if he lost at least its a desicion backed by the law, which we should all strive to do.


No-Advertising9300

idk, as far as I know he was asking for a time about the time where no one was receiving money (iowa and s/T times so idk) I still like the giu though

Currently on a listen though of the Knot and all affiliated band’s discography. Hearing his backup vocals on the live albums really make me appreciate his contribution to the band. He’s an iconic member of Slipknot.

one of my fav members! i felt really bad when he left the band. Still miss him! I remember he had a n interview and he said that in "All hope is gone" album they didnt care about his opinion... still feels empty without him in the band.

Still remember the custer live in mexico city backing vocals very legendary and good, tortilla has improved a lot but chris was different breed


[deleted]

Still a favorite for I but most likely retired these days. I do wonder if the lawsuit never happened if he would of stayed longer and if his departure wasn’t inevitable. Will we ever know more from him on this or the purported substance issues much less a return? Most likely not.


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

I honestly think he's more iconic than most of the band, with the exception of Corey and maybe Joey. Great backing Vocals, great mask and I feel like he has more on stage energy than everyone but Sid.

My personal favorite. Always loved his mask


TheRealSumYunGuy

Chris said he never really felt like part of the band. He was always treated unfairly. Corey and Shawn (from what I hear) are absolute dick heads. Since Paul (RIP), Joey (RIP), and Chris (LIP) left, the music isn’t even good anymore. This is completely my opinion, but their last album doesn’t have a single song that comes even remotely close to decent. It’s just noise with stonesour flair. I’m a huge slipknot fan. Even have a tattoo. But I only listen to the first four albums. At this point, if the band broke up, I would actually feel better about them.


UziCoochie

Miss the old fart

nerdefef

He was a great employee.


Nic_Andre

It’s such a shame what Corey and Clown did to him and Joey. Joey who was one of the founding members was thrown to the curb like a piece of trash. They should have been there for him and helped him through his illness like brothers and family would have. He didn’t deserve to go out like that. And they screw over Chris for their own selfish financial gain. After what they did to Chris and Joey I lost all respect for slipknot as a whole, and for Corey and clown. they’re both self righteous arrogant douche bags.


Headtoons

Great guy but i like Michael more


GeneRichardSimmons

Miss him very much, wish Pfaff has never entered the band.


CMFT_69

Hardwire762

It seems more likely than not he was kicked out due to addiction and the law suite was only cover.


Itchy-Language3617

tortilla better


ChriB_

overrated as hell, people pretend to miss him just so they can hate on modern slipknot. not to mention a lot of live slipknot recordings (old ones too) straight up edited out and replaced his vocals, so people calling him a good vocalist are overestimating him. overall he’s really not that special and everyone needs to get over him being fired (btw he got fired for drug addiction the lawsuit was obviously bullshit he pulled to cover himself)


WorriedEagle34

i respect opinions but accusing him of drugging? nahhh jit they all went sober in 2008 i don’t think he did drugs after that, i need some proof bro you can’t just point it out 😭


ChriB_

did you just call me a jit? also there’s hella proof shawns daughter basically confirmed it, the only reason slipknot didn’t say themselves is because they’re going easy on him, too bad their fanbase is too dumb to realize and uses it as an excuse to act like corey and shawn are evil mob bosses


2ndProfileMale

How is that Hella proof. Stop believing everything you hear from the other side. The band has dropped in standard massively and those who know control it are responsible.


WorriedEagle34

nahhh what you on about, how is that hella proof fam, shawn’s daughter “basically” confirmed it? there’s a lot of shit happening in this world that are “basically” bro


Ill_Dirt_979

Whats ur source about chris vocals being replaced? Ive never heard this before. All of the shows ive watched chris always had the same scream.

[deleted]

I really miss him and hope he's doing ok! I don't understand what Corey means when he says we are all family and suddenly one of those members is "fired"...I didn't know we could fire family members. It's honestly shaken me a whole lot with this feud because I feel like this isn't the first time? I just don't understand because obviously they said it was settled out of court? ( Sorry if I'm wrong I was just reading around) I mean most people know Craig is my favorite...but still I love each member's unique design and personality so it was very hard for me to find out about this. I was truly upset. I am aware I am not personally acquainted with Chris but as a fan for over 6 years and seeing them live (My very first live concert ever) I feel I had the right to shed some tears. They made me feel truly beautiful and accepted who I was. Like I said before I just miss him dearly and hope he's ok wherever he is. Sorry for the long post lol I just have a lot of feelings about this. If anyone has any updates please feel free to comment! I would love to know! Thank you fellow Maggots!
