Slipknot toured the world in 2004 as part of the Subliminal Verses World Tour and cemented their reputation as a powerful live act. Now rare footage has appeared on Youtube showing the band’s then-drummer Joey Jordison in action. Though photographer Fran Strine’s videos didn’t capture audio, it’s still entertaining to watch the drum master at work. “Here’s some previously unseen footage I captured from Slipknot‘s tour in 2004,” Strine introduces. “This is a rare glimpse into the world of an iconic band operating at the peak of their career.” Watch the rare archival videos below.
