Joey Jordison: ”Sairaus vei minulta kyvyn soittaa rumpuja”

Yhdysvaltalaisessa metalliyhtye Vimicissa ja Sinsaenumissa nykyisin soittava Slipknotin entinen rumpali Joey Jordison on pitänyt puheen Metal Hammerin Golden Gods Awardseissa, jossa on paljastanut sairastuneensa vuonna 2013 transversaalimyeliittiin, joka vei mieheltä kyvyn soittaa rumpuja.

”Towards [the] end of my career in SLIPKNOT — and I want you all to give praise to them as well. We accomplished a lot in life, every one of them, and I wish them nothing but luck and the best of praises. Cause what we created in the basements of Des Moines, Iowa will never be matched. It’s one thing that is fucking absolutely fucking unbeatable. I love those guys very much… Towards the end of my career in SLIPKNOT, I got really, really sick with a horrible disease called transverse myelitis. I lost my legs. I couldn’t play anymore. It was a form of multiple sclerosis, which I don’t wish on my worst enemy. I got myself back up, and I got myself in the gym, and I got myself back in fucking therapy to fucking beat this shit. And if I could do it, you could do it. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, more than fucking anything.”

”To people with multiple sclerosis, transverse myelitis, or anything like that, I am living proof that you can fucking beat that shit. And fucking metal and all of these fans will do it for you. This is the fucking world right here. You can beat this shit; no joke. Just the fact that metal lives in your heart, you can fucking accomplish anything.”
