"I think he's inspired me in so many ways musically," he continued, noting. "One, is his approach to music, but two is his ability to constantly reinvent and recreate. I’m the epitome of a guy that reinvented himself, right? And watching guys like that, I've always been that. I think we could lean into something really different." No word on whether working with the Slipknot star will actually come to pass, but Jelly's definitely down.
