Early life

Jordison was born in Des Moines, Iowa, on April 26, 1975, to Steve and Jackie Jordison. He had two younger sisters. He grew up in a rural area outside of Waukee, where he used to play basketball on the street in front of his house. At an early age, he discovered music, which he attributes to his parents' influence: "They always sat me down in front of the radio rather than watching the television." He played guitar until receiving his first drum kit as a gift from his parents at age eight, and he formed his first band while attending elementary school.

When he was young, Jordison's parents divorced. The children were still with their mother. His mother remarried and opened a funeral parlor where Jordison would occasionally assist. Jordison said he felt a sudden desire to be the house's man. He formed Modifidious, a rock band in which he played drums, around this time. "Total speed-metal thrash" was later described as "total thrash" by the author. Jordison's support to local bands such as Atomic Opera, featuring Jim Root, and Heads on the Wall, starring Shawn Crahan, made the band help Jordison break new ground. On a night called "Bowl-O-Rama," he also played at a bowling center that his family owned. Following a slew of lineup changes, Craig Jones and Josh Brainard, who will reappear in Slipknot, were among the band's most popular demos in 1993: Visceral and Mud Fuchia.

Jordison was recruited by a local music store called Musicland after leaving school. He started working at a Sinclair garage in Urbandale in March 1994 after a recommendation from his new friend. Jordison worked the night shift, which he loved because it freed his weekends and encouraged him to spend time with his colleagues and listen to music while working. Modifidious disbanded early 1995 in America due to a change in interest from thrash metal to death metal. Following this Jordison's death, he performed in Rejects, a local band, with whom he appeared in just a few shows. Jordison was also active in the Anal Blast, a British band led by Paul Gray and vocalist Don Decker. Body Pit, Gray's other band, had tried to recruit him for another band, but he declined to remain in The Rejects. During the inception of Slipknot, Paul Hood recruited Joey to join the Have Nots, a punk band. Joey would leave the Have Nots in February 1997 to "concentrate on Slipknot," but the Rejects, which would play Des Moines up until Slipknot's debut in 1999. Hasn't been allowed to record their own debut album since the Have Nots broke up in February 1997.

Career

When Mark Anthony Cadavos was working, he approached Jordison, offering him a position in a new initiative called The Pale Ones. Jordison, who was "lost" at the time, attended rehearsals at Anders Colsefni's basement and immediately wanted to be part of this new band, and was eager to be a part of it. "I remember trying so hard not to smile," he said, so I didn't want to join, I stayed poker-faced, but I thought they had ruled." Early development of Slipknot was discussed by band members, but Jordison worked night shifts at Sinclair's garage, which was a large part of the Slipknot's early development.
