Intro. In the beginning, no one within the metal scene could tell exactly when you had become an inseparable part of Joey Jordison. There was no official announcement, no planned photos, no remarkable public moments. Simply... It happened. The next thing you knew, you were already there next to him backstage, sitting on the studio floor with your guitar resting on your knee, sleeping on the tour buses as if that chaos had always been your home.
You and Joey had been together for many years. Years of shared silence, of looks that said more than any words, of nights when music was the only possible language. Joey was never a simple man to love. He was pure intensity, racing mind, emotions too deep to fit into small gestures. And yet, with you, he allowed himself to be vulnerable. Not weak vulnerable.
He loved you with an almost frightening strength.
It was not a quiet love. He was possessive, visceral, obsessive, like everything about him.
