Slipknot Drummer
Joey Jordison's first side-project, and also the reason the mass-
public got to see what he looked like without his mask (not much
difference, really). Also,
Tripp Eisen of
Static-X makes an appearance as the second guitar* player.
The Murderdolls are:
- Wednesday 13 - Vocals
- Joey Jordison - Guitar
- Tripp Eisen - Guitar
- Eric Griffin - Bass
- Ben Graves - Drums
They are essentially an '80s Shlock-horror group, similar to Alice Cooper and the like, except heavier. They originally started out as The Rejects a long, long time ago. long before Slipknot hit the big time. Joey met Eisen while touring with Dope in '99, and the guitarist recruited Wednesday as a bassist. Later on, the bassist impressed the others with his song-writing ability and became lead singer, and Eric Griffin took his place. Ben Graves finished off the current lineup.
They have, to this date, only played a few shows - this being after they started recording, as Joey hadn't even met Wednesday until he entered the studio.
