If he bites, bite back, Kriszti

Quoted from "Cassandra"

I also liked some Slipknot stuff even though I'm not any fan. But they made good music. What might be the reason for his death? Drugs? I don't know him at all but as policemen said that he was living in the hotel he was found... That sounds a bit odd IMO... R.I.P. in any case. Sad news.

I'm totally f'ucked up today... S'hit.

He wasn't living in the hotel room, he just stayed there for 2 days On the day they found him, he actually was supposed to check out. Normally he lives with his wife just like a normal guy.

The autopsy didn't brought any results. So now everyone has to wait for the results of the toxicological tests, which will arrive in a few weeks. Drugs may have played a role. He was addicted years ago, but actually was sober for the last couple of years I think. And I remember reading a blog entry he posted last Christmas, where he said that he's the happiest man alive because his wife told him that she's pregnant and that he's so excited and thanked everyone for the amazing last tour and stuff.

I'm still in a very depressed mood. Gray's dead touches me more than I thought it would. And it may appears strange to others that I feel so, but to me Slipknot was way more than just a favourite band. They are more like a philosophy or a way of life and helped me through so much trouble. And without #2 (Paul) nothing's going to be the same again, if they continue at all. Without ever having met him, I miss him. His personal background makes it even more tragic. Maybe it's strange but that's just the way it is...

In an Impatient mood today, hopefully that will change soon!

Ok, thanks for the info. These are always very sad news and make one think...

And i can believe you feel very sad now T!M. They have been important to you. I can imagine very well... You have any idea will they continue making music or is it totally impossible to them now? He was the founder of the band, right? He's pretty impossible to replace...

These news make me scared a bit...

Yep, he was one of the founders and one of the main songwriters, too.

I have absolutely no clue, if they're continuing without him. There's been no single word about it so far, but I can truly understand it. Right now, I guess, they're still in shock and have to deal with the loss of a brother. Plus there's still going to be the funeral. After that there's going to be enough time to think about the band's future. There wouldn't have been a new album before 2012 anyway.

For me personally it's hard to imagine the band without him. They always said they're like brothers and I think one could see that really well on the press conference. They were just devastated. And keeping a nine-piece band together for 12 years without any members changing is quite an accomplishment I think. Maybe they're just going to hire a touring bassist or "replace" him with someone from within the Slipknot-Camp they already know for a long time. But I don't think they going to have a new player, who didn't have anything to do with the band before. But time will tell what happens...

Nope, unfortunately I wasn't able to see them live in the past, but that definitely was one of my dreams, to see them live on stage. I got their DVDs and have seen a lot of gigs via youtube, MTV, etc. and their shows were one hell of a ride So damn spectacular and energetic. Especially their older one's are insane, when they starting punching each other or set themselves on fire onstage. Here's a video of a more recent performance, but that definitely belongs to my favourites. When Joey's drum kit starts rising and then flips over....amazing. And I looove Corey's voice.

yea, you should really check out their albums. Each one of them is a pure masterpiece and they're all very different to each other.

Definitely the last months have been very sad for the metal business. The Rev, Peter Steele, Ronnie James Dio and now Paul Gray....really a lot of amazing people and musicans have passed. Hopefully that doesn't continue....

Very sorry to hear that, Cassy

Yes, Peter Steele had a heart attack. He was 48 I think. That was also the first cause of death I thought of when I heard about #2's death. But right now it really seems that drugs were involved. A website relesed the phone call the hotel woker made to the police when he found Gray. He's talking about a hypodermic needle and a bottle of pills and how Paul looked. I shivered when I heard that call. Pretty scary...

But the response from other bands is overwhelming. Everyone's saying what a great musician Paul was and that he was the nicest and friendliest one out there and is sorely missed. Munky from KoRn (they're on the same level as Slipknot to me) said that he and the other KoRn-members are going to attend his funeral in a few days. Great to see this friendship and respect between everyone.

The masks are...brilliant I love them and how they evolved through the years. Couldn't imagine Slipknot without them.

yes, Psychosocial is one of their more radio-friendly songs Nevertheless it's a brilliant one. I love the more aggressive voice in the verses and then the melodic clean voice in the refrain. Plus the breakdown is amazing Corey Taylor is really one of the best singers out there and an amazing songwriter. One of the best of our time IMO. Plus he's a working animal. That guy's got 2 bands running, plus his own solo stuff, plus the things he's doing for others, plus he's writing a book and has a family...insane Can't wait for the new Stone Sour record btw

Quoted from "Cassandra"

I have no idea if they have ever been in Finland or not.

I think they had two big gigs here just last year!

Yes, agree, they're a rather interesting band, and their shows are crazy. Never seen them myself, but I've seen videos. (Just saw the one T!M linked -- the drummer is insane, it doesn't affect him at all how he's upside down. ) I like the masks too, they're great. I remember following the situation eagerly when the newest masks were first shown when All Hope Is Gone was coming. No idea what's going to happen with the band now...

My favourite Slipknot songs are probably Only One and Vermilion Pt. 2.

I'm in a great mood today

Uplifted and just can't calm down although it's Sunday

That's very sad to hear... it's great though, to hear she's fine, and "stronger"/more certain about herself than she was
It's unbelieveable to think about, that a part of this so-called "civilized" society still can't accept the fact that some people are different, be it sexual orientation, way of thinking/being or else
And, that they have the guts to actually express their stone-age-levelled opinions in such a disgusting way...

Yeah, that happens, and sucks... It's difficult to understand how it's even possible. I have to admit I'd probably act the same way she did: I wouldn't report it to the police because I don't believe they could or would do anything. They're overworked here as it is, and their resources are constantly reduced. (Which I don't get since they're needed more than before!) I might try a personal retaliation though, find them and destroy some of their property -- like a car. Not ethical maybe, but neither were they...

Hah, it's here too... the police constantly get less and less money for resources, while the need for them just grows...
Meanwhile, harassment like May's friend experienced, still goes on, though you would think we're civilized enough nowadays to accept eachother as we are. Hah, civilized community my ass...

Such people makes me sick and ashamed of being a human being
