Chris Fehn Speaks (2023) - Former Slipknot Percussionist (#3) | Drum For The Song Podcast #50
Published 2023-06-02
Thanks for checking out episode 50 with former Slipknot percussionist, Chris Fehn, #3. Please share this with any fans of Slipknot. I am truly honoured to have had this opportunity because this is Chris' very first interview since his departure from the band in 2019. He has been a part of the metal industry for over two decades and has contributed significantly to the success and evolution of Slipknot with his incredible live performances and distinctive Pinoccio inspired mask.
In this episode, we chat about his time before Slipknot and some of his career highlights, playing drums on 'These Old Boots' also featuring Mick Mars and Dee Snider, taken from my dad Phil Campbell's solo album 'Old Lions Still Roar', being blown away by Joey Jordison's drumming, playing bass guitar in the band Will Haven plus his future music plans.

Chris’s imagery is beyond iconic. His mask was always the most standout visual impression on me seeing the self titled cover at 12 yrs old.
-
Chris Fehn was always so iconic in Slipknot. Such high energy.
-
Chris Fehn now lives in Michigan. I actually ran into him at a dealership when he was getting a new truck while I was working there. I wasn't allowed to say hi cuz we didn't want to scare him away. But he stared at me and I him and i gave him the devil horns and I want back to what I was doing work wise.
-
You can tell Chris was holding back, from going off on his former band members.
-
Corey and clown turned into Paul and Gene and really took slipknot down a different road.
-
I feel like people only think of Chris being a percussionist in slipknot but the dude gave some solid backing vocals that people just seem to overlook I mean just listen to the chorus for "Sick"
-
It's great to hear Chris again '' Fav rhythm section??'' '' Joey & Paul'' what an answer. RIP Joey & Paul and glad Chris is doing well. Great podcast. All the best from Scotland.
-
It isn't the same without him. I'm glad to see he's healthy and doing well!
-
When he talks ablout "True friends" etc, it makes me assume that he was really hurt with everything that happened. I mean you got a guy that devoted his life to a band, spent more than half of his life with these people...y'know all this stuff and the fact that it ended just like that, im sure Chris was hurt. Only him and the rest of slipknot know what truly happened. But Im glad Chris is doing good and just enjoying retirement. very much earned
-
It's so great to see you again Chris! I miss your stage presence a lot in Slipknot... Stay safe and take care, you deserve it.
-
Chris is a damn legend, when Cory hurt his neck Chris saved the shows and killed the vocals. Huge fan
-
Sweet video bro. It was nice to hear from Chris.
-
Chris, Jay, Anders, Dickie Allen and Chris Adler should form a band. That would be nuts
-
chris you were always one of my favorites, dont doubt yourself. your stage presence helped make the band, its not the same without you and thats a fact.
-
To those saying he didn't contribute are ignorant and clearly missing the fact that his backing vocals live were a big factor in their live performance. Try listening to Nameless live and omit Chris's vocals . 😂
-
Nice to see Chris again... miss him a lot in the band. At least I could see him performing Live the first time Slipknot came to Mexico. 🇲🇽
-
Much love to Chris. I still have my drumstick that i caught from Chris back on the Slipknot / Slayer tour London gig. One of my fave members ever. He looks happy and chill. Good to see.
-
And now we need a podcast with Craig Jones now that he’s out
-
I had the honor of seeing Slipknot in 2001... one month before Iowa came out. The first time I heard any Iowa songs was live. Still the best concert I've ever been to. Original line up...Joey, Paul and Chris. I loved it.
-
When I think classic Slipknot, I think of the mask of Chris Fehn. They lost a huge part of the band when you left. Sucks for them. Glad to see you doing good, man!
