Jay Weinberg part ways with Suicidal Tendencies

Drummer Jay Weinberg (formerly of Slipknot) has announced his intention to part ways with Suicidal Tendencies in a new social media post.

As an exciting and busy 2026 takes shape, I’d like to thank @suicidaltendencies for bringing me onboard for an incredible year and a half of shows! What an absolute blast. With @chloweinberg’s & my first child on the way, I’ve been dedicating time to passion projects like @portraitsofanapparition, a growing series of collaborations, finally building a proper at-home creative space, and some new in-the-works projects that I can’t quite announce just yet (👀). Although there’s a lot of work left to complete over the next five months, it’s been a joy to commit to finally getting these things across their artistic finish lines before my focus naturally shifts to becoming a first-time father. 

Though I won’t be jamming with the fellas, I can’t possibly overstate the love and respect I have for them, the Suicidal Army and extended family, and all the cyco fans I’ve met across six continents playing shows with one of my favorite bands! 

Mike, Dean, @benweinman, and @tyetru: you guys picked up a friend when he was down, and gave him the opportunity to truly feel the message of “You Can’t Bring Me Down” at a time when he needed it the most. I can’t thank you enough for that, and I can’t wait to see what you all do next.

I quite literally can’t conceive of my life as a drummer without the profound influence of Suicidal Tendencies. So many of my drumming heroes have added to the historic legacy of this band, and it’s the honor of a lifetime to contribute to it myself in some way. To our amazing crew mates @deathtotravis@chris.waiau@coreykoniz@jonrechsteiner@gallowsdrums@ssamhaven@chuckzillathekilla@bradhinds@mrsn_th@rafael_galbes@andrekbelo@andrewrmrtaylor, Brendan, and Mathieu — thank you guys so much for everything!

ST for life!
