It was yesterday.
 
Re: Slipknot co-founder Paul Gray found dead at Urbandale hotel

Sad day in our house...

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3rEWLsIlo4"][/ame]I know a lot of people don't care for their music, if you are not a fan, but open to great musical talent, listen to Snuff. I wasn't sure which link so if you don't like the live one, there are several others.

Great song. I'm not a huge fan but I do like Snuff and Before I forget. Very few bands create the amount of sound they do. Paul did a lot of the writing so I don't know where that will leave these guys.

Also, does anyone know the story behind the masks?
 
R.I.P. I wasn't a huge fan, enjoyed their music but the masks and such...not so much. Even still its sad to see a talented guy end up like this.

I don't know for sure, it sounds like there are some other people on here that know them as well. I know that they had been in CA working on a new album, but I also heard a rumor that it would be Corey's last with them because he was going to focus on Stone Sour full time after this recording. I don't know how accurate that is though.
 
I will speak with Cory soon and find out. Most likely Shawn Economacki will step in and fill the roll if he wants it. Him Cory and I have been friend since 6th grade. We all went to Weeks with each other.
Sad time today. I am struggling with this one. Paul used to live with me for a few months. Great guy.
 
Yeah, that has to be tough for you guys.

That scenario makes sense. Is it true that a lot of the writing was done by Paul and Joey or is that something inaccurate?
 
Not a huge fan, but Vermillion and Vermillion, Part 2 really show the talent of these guys. The contrast between the two versions is amazing.
 
Circle is another great song some people may want to check out if you're not a traditional slipknot fan. It's on their "Vol 3: The Subliminal Verses" album.

I know i"ve posted it before, but this one has many personal reasons for why I enjoy it and it will always be one of their most powerful songs for me.........

All of this and you managed to spell his name wrong on multiple occasions. Uh, ok.

Try Snuff, Before I Forget, Circle, Vermillion Pt. 2, etc. They do much much more than 'just yell'

Fair enough. I should have included that I didn't give them a chance due the 3-4 songs I have heard (all yelling, or it seemed)... My bad for not trying other songs by them.

On to Youtube I go! Let's see if you can change my opinion.

EDIT #1: Snuff - Good song so far (roughly 3/4 done with the song).

EDIT #2: Before I Forget - Glad I decided to listen to the whole song with an open mind. Good song.

EDIT #3: Circle - I have heard this song before and I liked it... Never knew the name or the artist. Very good song.

EDIT #4: Vermillion Pt. 2 - Very good mellow song.

Thanks for not taking this opportunity to flame me. I must say that I did enjoy listening to this songs that you threw out to me.

Give them a chance Nick...my ex-girlfriend couldnt stand the yelling but she now loves all their slow songs...along with Stone Sour's...

Slipknot and Stone Sour are my favorite bands...I think people hear "Slipknot" and they assume all their music is machine gun double bass and screaming but they have some of the most melodic songs in metal.

And I can't stand new metal with their Cookie Monster screaming vocals...maybe that's because I'm an old school thrash metal fan...

Still think the beginning of "Pulse of the Maggots" would be the perfect song for the football team to come running out of the tunnel to...
