Slipknot FIRED Sid Wilson Over This…
TMZ says Sid Wilson was kicked out of Slipknot because of the way he treated his bandmates — and that Slipknot was planning to announce his departure themselves this week.
The follow-up went up Monday, August 3, 2026, three days after TMZ first reported Wilson was permanently out. The sourcing changed between the two stories: Friday it was one source close to the band, Monday it was sources with direct knowledge. They say the firing was a long time coming, not a heat-of-the-moment decision, and that the band lost control of the rollout when the news leaked early.
TMZ describes no specific incident and names no source.

This whole thing regardless of whether he's still in or out is super big gay. I'm beyond sic of Slipknots bullshpit either way. The Clowny Taylor and Shawn show and the hired help have fallen so fkn far. All of this band member nonsense over the years and then the burning dumpster abortion complete with dancing aborted babies on fire that is TESF has gotten me to the point where I'm done with them. I'll always love the older albums. I've been a fan since their self titled album dropped in 99 and was just turned 18. Love S.T., love Iowa, was disappointed in Vol 3 though I like some stuff off it just wish Corey's screaming wasn't total trash on it from screaming his brains out for all those touring years as well as drinking so much, AHIG wasn't any better imo, .5 was actually pretty damn good and is my 3rd favorite album from them, WANYK is ok, TESF is just horrible. TESF is literally 2/5 a Stone Sour album. I never compared the two bands because I felt that for the most part Corey did enough to differentiate the two but that last 2/5 of TESF was a Stone Sour album including the music. It's a shame that they decided to quickly shpit out an album to finish off their 7 album deal with Roadrunner and for what? What have they done since? Not. A. Damn. Thing.
They haven't done shpit musically. Their 25th anniversary tour for Self Titled was awesome I will give them that. I enjoyed it. Even bought a tour shirt. Not looking forward to new music though.

Sid probably wanted a merch cut, so Clown and Corey fired him for it. I mean, he immediately drops his own merch? And the same thing happened with Chris.. Sad to see what 2 people have turned that band into.

Band died may 2010 with Paul Gray & now this… Corey Taylor once said: "Paul Was the Soul of Slipknot" what defined the band. The Hatred, Anger, Rage, Brutality, etc. From Self Titled and Iowa Is Gone and never comes back. They getting old i know that, but its kinda sad you know. It somehow feels like being a fan for decades and being cheated every time a new (Stone Sour=Soft/Slipknot) Album comes out and you know it is not Slipknot anymore. Band is Dead end of story

Funny how they fired Jim Root from Stone Sour but not Slipknot as well… some weird dynamics going on

this band went to shit once corporate greed took over. firing jay was a huge mistake
@Krysdavar
August 9, 2026 at 7:08 am
Why does everything always have to be cryptic with this band? I get they want their privacy, but for cripes sake just say why someone is no longer in the band. This no communication and finding out from 3rd hand sources months later and then a Year later finally release why they were "fired", isn't cutting it.

No SlipknoT without Sid.

I remember that but with sid on the disaster piece dvd and literally just had it on while working Tuesday night and still was thinking it was just like band frustration or whatever.

I'm glad I saw them last time in Europe as it was my first time. Still got to hear most of the hits and was pretty much content, but this is not the band I started following in the 2000s anymore. I think my favourite member was Chris (really liked the early years horror themes, too).

Well, all the members kicked out of the band over the years could form a new group called Slipkyes.

poor sid
@drakegravely5261
August 9, 2026 at 7:08 am
Root most likely posted that because he's A) the most relatable member of the band now and B) the band anticipated Sid to put out a statement with some harsh allegations (which didn't happen) …………….. so now it just looks like some cryptic message about Sid possibly still being in the band because of false information. Pretty sure it's A + B.

They are a "Company" now.
So fake…So Owned by the record companies….
Paul and Joey are so disappointed…
And so am I.
Done with them.
