Paul Gray (Slipknot bass player) found dead

[13point9]

Wow.. That press conference was heartbreaking..

indeed made me feel really sad...

 

[Dan]

Wow that press conference was humbling. Whilst i dont condone what he did i know addiction of any kind is a hard thing to throw without a shit ton of willpower. Some people just dont have it sometimes.

That being said, its at least good to know that the unborn child will be well looked after. I think we already knew that the Slipknot crew was a tight bunch, and though his daughter has lost a father, shes still going to have more than enough father figures in her life.

Its always sad to see a talented musician pass away.

 

[7 Strings of Hate]

Totally, watching that press conferance was super sad man.

 

[MikeH]

That got me a little choked up. Always sad to see a musician go, but when you see how hard it affects the people he was around, it really puts it into perspective for you.

Yeah The fact Mick couldn't say anything actually said alot, and seeing them like that was humbling and upsetting.

 

[Rick]

That was tough to watch.

 

[Marv Attaxx]

^ Yeah man
I had some tears in my eyes after watching that

 

[13point9]

just been on the ibanez website, wow i don't want them to do a dean on him, but theres no mention of his death that i can find on the site at all...

 

[Marv Attaxx]

Give 'em some time and we'll see if they'll discontinue his bass

i was expecting some kind of splash page on the site in tribute or something tbh its a big company shit like that should take mere hours...

 

[SerratedSkies]

Rest in Peace. Highschool wouldn't have been the same without Slipknot.

 

[Warchest1]

I wonder who will die tomorrow..

 

[vampiregenocide]

Ibanez did mention Paul on their twitter page.

 

[lucasreis]

I know this is kind of unrelated, and, not to sound like a total noob, but I only know who Corey and Joey are without masks.

Just out of curiosity. Since I have never seen the other guys without masks before and I just saw the press conference. could someone explain to me who is who?

ah ok i stand corrected

it goes in the conference, corey, shawn, sid, mick and jim who refuse to speak, chris, craig refuses to speak (on chris' left in the hat), pauls brother, pauls wife, then joey

Perhaps they're waiting to get some fan, family, and band feedback before doing something as rash as immediately halting the bass's production.

Perhaps they'll let it run for the rest of the year, in a form of tribute. Either way, the bass is more than likely gone after the next NAMM/line change.

I wouldn't be opposed to them keeping it around till this Summer NAMM.

If you google them you should find pics of each member They've all been seen without masks a few times.



Autopsy report has not come up with a cause of death btw, maybe it wasn't drugs? Might've had a heart condition or something that wasn't known about.
