Yeah, it's called the rock star lifestyle. Dead at 38 in a hotel room speaks drug abuse to me.
Or a tragic case of buckshot...
Nah, if he shot himself then his cause of death wouldn't be up for investigation. It'd be like, "oh, hey, I'm pretty sure cause of death was the giant gaping head wound and the unsuccessful attempt to merge his brain's thinking processes with the wall."

I'm not into the music, but it is starting to look like the only explanation is that God is putting together a supergroup.
God to put together diabolic themed metal band? Stranger things have happened.
Nah, all the good musicians would have ended up in Hell by Christian standards.

Hell ain't a bad place to be!

Or murder? Or disease? Or food poisoning? Or...do I need to go on? They're people too and don't all die of rocking out too hard. I'm not saying it's healthy but I don't think you made a safe assumption.
It's an assumption, this much we agree upon.

However, lets face facts, "dead in a hotel room, young, from what turns out to be drug abuse" is such a common rock star death that it's become cliche. As far as assumptions go, that's about as safe as it gets.

At least he won't see himself go gray and become some obscure ex-rock star. I haven't heard any of his music and don't think too highly of Slipknot, although given that it's not based on my own experiences that opinion can be changed very quickly.

Either way, that's the true rockstar way to live and die. Fuck growing old, die while you're still young and on a roll. As if growing old is actually worth it.

He took the last dive, young, not having to suffer from old age. His curtain fell too soon. Enjoy in Hell, it's where are great rockstars end up. Heaven's standards are too high.

Pretty sure you will join the rank of legends like Dio, Dimebag, the Rev and many other.

Enjoy the great jam-session in the skies.

Imagine that you will be there too one day. The dead don't judge, everyone who has the heart of a rocker is cordialy invited. After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.

(I HAD TO quote Dumbledore there. I love that quote.)

Fair point.

I wonder who though, I'm not sure the other band members are too good at bass , seeing as the ones who dont play an actual instrument just run around hitting stuff. Guess they'll have to learn fast :p

Apparently, this could also mean the death of Slipknot in itself. I heard/read somewhere that they said they'd never replace members. Thay may not play again.

R.I.P #2

Bassists tend to do work for loads of other bands.Like Steve DiGiorio.He played bass for loads of metal bands like,Testament,Death,Autopsy,Sadus,Vintersorg and Iced Earth.

He'll be replaced soon enough.Unless Corey decides to make his stay with Stone Sour permanent.
