Everyone, today as many of you have probably heard, Paul Gray has died in Iowa (and yes it is Ironic because of an album). I think that everyone will miss him and should remember him as another part in the world of music and not grieve over his death, but continue to live realizing that we must keep supporting Slipknot and continue our daily lives.
What are your guys' opinions on this?

I really didnt get too much into 1-3, I got about halfway through 6, didnt play 9 that much, and played 12 at a friends house.
They came from Iowa actually, so it's not irony, it's dying in his homeland lolOriginally Posted by Zolarp000
As for the band, their bass sounded standard, and a standard bassist is easy to come across so they should be pretty ok in that aspect (from their music, he was no Cliff Burton, god of bass)
Anyone know how he died?

SPOILER!!:
No one will know for about 4-6 weeks, and I just saw the live press conference and 3 of the members didnt say anything, but for those who did, i thought it was very brave of them to do so because they said what they thought.

how dare you all talk shit about my homeland!!!
There hasn't been an official statement on what happened yet from the band, and there is no suspicion of foul play at this time. An autopsy will happen in a couple days though, which (hopefully) can explain the cause of death.

I'm not really a fan, but when I heard about this, I decided to check out some stuff about him on the ol' Wikipedia page. When I did, there was a whole lot of trolling going on. People edited the page to say some pretty disrespectful stuff. It has since then been locked up so there can only be edits done by people who are authorized to do so, or at least it was the last time I checked. Makes me wonder if the same thing happened when other famous people died... It probably did.
Anyway, enough of that...
Even though I'm not all that familiar with their music, it's still sad that he died. I'll be checking out updates as they happen, because I do like to be informed.

I guess he'll be making terrible music in heaven now.
Let's go into the "archives" in "Washington D.C." and find out how people "masturbated" in the "roaring 20's."
Crao Porr Cock8. Bitch.
Haha. I tend to enjoy their music from time to time.
To be honest with you guys, Slipknot blew me away with Snuff. I never though a band like Slipknot with their aggressive music would write such an amazing song that would become one of my all-time favorites from the first listen.
Now, speaking of their bassist, I admit I've never heard of him before, yet I feel so sorry for him, his band, his wife, and his unborn child.
RIP Paul. You will never be forgotten by your fans.

I heard some pretty disrespectful stuff about this guy over the last couple of days, and I think it should stop.
It's sad at how many musicians have passed away, and it seems like talking about them is a weekly thing nowadays. We had Ronnie James Dio last week, Peter Steele from Type O Negative a few weeks ago, and also we had The Rev from Avenged Sevenfold recently too.
Paul Gray was one of the members that stood out to me the most, mainly for his skills and his awesome mask (I always thought he had the coolest).
I started listening to Slipknot when I was 11, and they have stuck with me all that time. They were basically the soundtrack to my teen years. I still listen to them even 9 years on.
Watching the news conference with the rest of the band was really sad. He was obviously loved by many, and will be sadly missed. Hopefully this doesn't spell the end for Slipknot, but obviously there will be a different atmosphere within the band with Paul there.
RIP Paul Gray
It was a suspected drug overdose.

I'm with Polk on this one. It's a shame the dude is dead, because I don't want to see anyone go before their time, but Slipknot sucks.

As much as I loathe Slipknot, I hate to see any artists die young like that, especially over stupid shit like drug OD (don't know if they determined whether or not that's what this was, don't particularly care). Why is it always rock musicians? Why don't some of the shitty rappers or disney popstars die once in a while?
