Slipknot's Bassist Found Dead

[ender214]

Damn...Slipknot was one of my favorite bands...

 

[PunkRex]

First The Rev, NOW THIS!!! Well at least Spineshank are back together. Still the musical world just got a little less bright.

 

[Eggsnham]

Damnit!

What the fuck...

R.I.P.

 

[teh_saminator]

god fucking dammit. why must all the good musicians die whilst we get left with shit like lady gaga and justin bieber?

 

[Hiphophippo]

Well, they're an awful band so there's that. Condolences go out to his family and friends though in the highly unlikely event they read this.

On the plus side though, maybe slipknot will disband and people will listen to (at least) half way decent metal instead of pop radio metal.

 

[Redratson]

R.I.P Man this sucks big time Slipknot was a good band now their bass is dead

 

[BJK55123]

Sad month for metal. RIP Paul Grey

 

[Aura Guardian]

This is one sad month.

Im not one for words and i personally dont like Slipknot, but
RIP friend, as you journey across the black abyss of death, may you and your friends forget the bad times and remember the good times, farewell.

 

[Enigma6667]

I absolutely hated Slipknot, but the death of practically anybody is always sad news. RIP. And I guess I might aswell say something positive about the band...er...at least you guys were more talented than the Jonas Brothers.

RIP.

Is there a disease going around that only infects bassists?

I think it's called coke and prostitutes.

Goodnight sweet prince. cheesey isn't it.
saw the first 10-20 minutes of one of their shows. More than lots will get now.
RIP

Pete Steele, Dio and Gray in one month...

It's a sad month for metal

Actually, Peter Steele died in April. So that'd be two months.

And according to the Metal Archives, a doom metal vocalist (of "Colosseum") passed away a day before Dio. And the manager for such bands as Possessed and Exodus passed away a mere two hours after him (Dio), also of cancer.

We're dropping like flies, and have been for the past three years, apparently.

*Sigh* There goes a legend. R.I.P

No. There was nothing remotely "legendary" about Paul Gray. People can't call someone a "legend" just because they got famous and died. Geddy Lee? Legend. Bootsy Collins? Legend. Paul Gray? Not a legend.

 

[The Eggplant]

Pity. Even as a devoted fan of the genre I can't say I ever liked Slipknot, and I honestly never thought they were much more than a gimmick. Still...there goes a wholly competent musician, and perhaps more importantly there goes a human being. RIP Paul Gray.

 

[metalhead467]

Damn....what's with all the musicians I like dying lately? The Rev...Dio...Gray...

I feel so badly for his family, and the band.

Time to dig out my Slipknot T-shirt in memorial.

I did't realy listen to Slipknot that much but from the few songs I did hear they all sounded like good musicans. Slipknot are a pretty popular band and this will rock a few people. But may he Rest In Peace. Mabey he can start a band with Dio.
