The video opens with the following words from SLIPKNOT: “Our hearts go out to Joey’s family and loved ones at this time of tremendous loss.
“Joey Jordison’s art, talent, and spirit could not be contained or be held back. Joey’s impact on SLIPKNOT, on our lives, and on the music that he loved, is incalculable. Without him there would be no us. We mourn his loss with the entire SLIPKNOT family. We love you, Joey.”
