Drummer Joey Jordison has confirmed rumors that he will sit behind the kit for Korn this summer. “I’m lucky to have had the opportunity to perform with bands that have influenced me as a musician over the years,” Joey said. “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!”

Joey will go straight from tour bus into the studio to continue work on the new Slipknot CD which will surface in 2008.

SLIPKNOT front man Corey Taylor has blasted the media for devoting coverage to troubled stars including Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. The rocker is fed up with the publicity given to the likes of “pig” Spears.

Taylor, 33, says, “(Britney is) a pig and needs to give it up. People have this fascination with mediocrity and gross displays of bullshit. It’s everywhere. People are intrigued by popular people, but that shit is so precarious it can be gone tomorrow”. “The fact that the public are mesmerized by Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and all these miserable people makes me laugh because those celebrities are more miserable than the people reading about them for escapism.”
