Jay Weinberg - Slipknot/Sucidal Tendencies/Infectious Grooves/ Bruce Springsteen
Joining me today is Jay Weinberg.
Jay is best know as the drummer in Slipknot from from 2014 to 2023 replacing the late great Joey Jordison, he also filled in for his father Max Weinberg for a tour with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in 2009. Since Jay's departure from Slipknot he now plays for Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves.
Join Jay and myself as we talk about his amazing career so far (he is still only 34 years old) we talk about his early days with his parents musical influences, through to sitting in with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band for the first time as a kid! no oressure eh?
Jay tells us how he was taken along to the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien (Jays dad Max is the drummer on this show and has been for a long time) to see a new upcoming Nu Metal Band called Slipknot play, and how taken he was with them as a youngster, of course we all know this would eventually be his gig!
i dont want to give too much away as Jay is a wonderful talker and quite happy to share his story with us, we had a good long chat.
Jay, thank you so much for giving up your time so generously, especially on Superbowl Sunday!! its really appreciated.
