Career
Jones joined Slipknot in early 1996, replacing original guitarist Donnie Steele after the band's debut demo Mate was released. Feed. The execution has occurred. Repeat. He was enlisted by drummer Joey Jordison, with whom Jones had previously performed (alongside guitarist Josh Brainard) in Modifidious. However, the "electronics and computer genius" transitioned to the position of sampler soon after joining the band, thanks in the rise in sound effects, background noises/programmed samples, and media samples used in the band's music. Mick Thomson was replaced by him on guitar. Jones was content with the change, Jordison said, "he liked doing it anyway, seeing all the noises and sounds." BBC Music has characterized Jones' contribution to the band as "provid[ing] samples, addresses, and sounds as "a kind of audio garnish in the band's dark maelstrom."
Jones was given the word "133" in honor of his computer's processor speed, 133 MHz, which author Joel McIver claims "was the state of the art" at the time.
Jones would not be playing with Slipknot for a brief period of the band's European tour in September 2004, according to a "medical emergency." According to a statement on the band's official website, "Craig Jones #33 (#5) has been suffering tremendous pain during the first week of our European tour, and has been unable to eat or sleep properly. He therefore made the decision that he should return to the United States for emergency dental surgery. "We're filling his seat, we've got a photo of him in the dressing room, and we're missing him every day," guitarist Jim Root explained. [But] we couldn't cancel the tour."
