The annual Download festival took place on June 8th, 9th and 10th at Donington Park, England. Performing as part of the gargantuan festival, Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison accompanied Korn on drums. This record-breaking performance was Jordison’s fifth Download appearance since its inception in 2002, and marks him as the only artist to play the festival multiple times in 4 different high-profile bands. Past Download performances include: Murderdolls (main stage 2002), Slipknot (main stage 2004 & 2005), and a guest appearance with Metallica (main stage 2004).

Jordison has been performing with Korn since the departure of drummer David Silveria and states, “when I first heard Korn they blew me away and I have been a fan ever since…I’m looking forward to playing drums with these guys for the next five months!" Adding to his extensive list of musical accomplishments, Jordison has also been taking on producing duties, most recently working on the forthcoming 3 Inches of Blood release, Fire Up The Blades.

Stellar drummer, what else is there to say. Too bad his bands hover between average and subpar.

True, but doesn't mean he's not a good drummer.

Good for Joey. Lots of the members of Slipknot seem to be lazing around, while members like Joey and Corey are actually out DOING stuff. They're gonna be he guys who get remembered as some of the best, and I think that Joey defiantly deserves it. He got me into drumming, that's for sure.

What's the big fxcking deal? Who cares? How about giving Ozzy a blowjob because he's been at Ozzfest every year (but 1, I think). And to post #9, if Korn is "legend band", then "legend" must translate to "gay power" in whatever country you're in.

The only thing that Korn will be remembered for is helping to lead the way in nu metal and then also leading to the downfall of it.
