Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
Jay Weinberg and his wife Chloe recently had their first child, as per Loudwire. Yesterday, the drummer posted a carousel of pictures of them with their newborn daughter on Instagram. Suicidal Tendencies, Charlie Benante, Gary Holt, Alex Skolnick, Roberto “Ra” Diaz, Rob Caggiano, Alissa White-Gluz, Rick Allen, and a few other rock stars congratulated me.
ey you, with the pretty face…welcome to the human race!
Mom and baby are healthy and doing great 💕 We’re so thankful for the love and encouragement from our friends and loved ones, and over the moon with excitement to welcome our little girl into this world.
Weinberg’s mother, Rebecca “Becky” (Schick), was a school teacher, and his father, drummer Max Weinberg, has been a member of the E Street Band since 1975. He was raised in New Jersey’s Middletown Township. His father was Jewish, and his mother was Methodist. Ali Weinberg Rogin, who is wed to Josh Rogin, is his sister. He was a goaltender for a travel team in ice hockey when he was younger. He first saw the E Street Band on their 1999–2000 Reunion Tour when he was nine years old. He watched performances on this and other tours, particularly in Europe. He developed a deep love for heavy metal at the same time that his father introduced him to a wide range of other music by taking him to Ozzfest to see Slipknot.
At the age of nine, he started playing the guitar, and at twelve or thirteen, he started playing the bass. At the age of 14, he began playing the drums. He received very little coaching from his father and was primarily self-taught utilising his father’s old equipment. He appeared on stage as a guest with the band The Used and then the punk rock group the Bouncing Souls by the following year. He was a member of Chaosis, a metal band from New Jersey. He was a member of the Sadie Mae band, played on the hockey team for a while, and graduated from Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School in 2008.
