Paul Gray, the Bassist for Slipknot, was found dead today in Urbandale, IA. Right now it is unclear on how exactly he died, but if we find out I will post it as soon as I can.
This has been a real hard six months for the metal scene. In December, James “The Rev” Sullivan, the drummer of A7X died, earlier this month on May 16th, the legend Ronnia Dio died. And today, one of my all time favorite bass players from my all time favorite band, Slipknot, died.
I’m really at a loss for words on this. I, like many of Slipknot’s fans, had the great privilege of seeing them play live. The whole band, including Paul, put their everything that they have into every performance for their fans. Our condolences go out to all Paul’s family, friends, and fans.
We are going to miss you Paul, I can honestly say I don’t think the music industry will be the same without you.

I found your site today looking for a photo of Paul. This was really touching. I spent most of yesterday in disbelief over what happened.
As sick as it would have been, I was hoping that it was a publicity stunt or something.
We love you Paul and our hearts are with you

I agree, his memory will remain with the maggots forever. Hopefully this is not the end of Slipknot, but a new chapter.

I really hope it’s not the end of Slipknot either.
From what I have seen with interviews from Paul, I don’t think he would have wanted it to end.
