Strange rumor of the day: Jay Weinberg is the new Slipknot drummer.

Metal rumor clearing-house WolverineKills has revealed that they "have received a word" that Jay Weinberg is the new drummer of Slipknot. Weinberg, of course, is the son of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band drummer Max Weinberg. He has also done time in both Against Me! and Madball, though neither gig ended amicably. It's difficult to discern just how confident WolverineKills is in their assertion with mixed messages like this: "While we have no evidence to support this rumor we decided to pass it along as we think there is a good possibility this rumor will turn out to be true." It does seem highly unlikely, but then again, stranger things have happened...
