He barely joined Slipknot and Eloy Casagrande already brought a record to the band

Eloy Casagrande’s entry into Slipknot was an event so full of expectation that, without exaggeration, it seemed as if Brazil was in the final of some major sports championship, given the repercussion that surrounded the months that preceded the drummer’s official membership in the band.

We still don’t know the details or exactly how long it took for everything to come to fruition, much less do we know to what extent the social media comments flooded by Brazilians made things take this turn. There are those who suspect that the idea already existed long before, and there are those who suspect that the “pressure” exerted by the Brazilians is what triggered the trigger that culminated in the hiring of Eloy.

In any case, we have at least one concrete number at hand, and it reveals the strength of Brazilians: it is the number of likes on posts on Slipknot’s official networks, more precisely on Instagram. A survey carried out by Igor Soares (and confirmed by the Whiplash.Net team) points out that the most liked post on Slipknot’s official Instagram account, so far, is the historic post where Slipknot officially congratulates Eloy as a new member, something unprecedented for the band, which is not in the habit of announcing its new musicians.

This post was made just a week ago and already has 911 thousand likes so far, with a good chance of reaching one million in a short time – it will depend on us, Brazilians. The second most viewed post so far is the tribute to the late Joey Jordison, made in July 2021 on the occasion of his death and which is recycled annually, a black canvas, which after three years has 874 thousand likes.

There are reels with more than 1.5 million views, but they are from the launch of official videos, and their system is different as they do not require a like, something that necessarily implies that the reader gave at least a few seconds to that post. And another very recent post that also involves Eloy is the first official photo where he appears with the band, also posted seven days ago and which has 728 thousand likes, a huge number for such a short time.
