TomKent Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) I read this earlier somewhere else and assumed it was a joke, this is awful! We're losing so many good guys at the moment, such a shame!

RussFM Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Was only on blogs when I first searched, but it's on MSNBC now too, surely they'd check out a story before publishing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I really don't know much about these guys, and to be honest I've always been really dismissive of their band having been playing out in the USA when they broke, but they must be all way too young for a fate like that. Horrible news and a sad loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Tragic at just 38, RIP My 12 year-old son will be very upset - he's learning to play bass and Slipknot is his favourite band. We were practising the bass line to 'Wait and Breathe' together only last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kongo Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 No! I heard this too and couldn't believe it...Slipknot where and still are a huge inspiration to me, from 14 to my current age of 23... Paul Grey in some ppls eyes inst the greatest player but he just did what was needed, he was skilled outside of Slipknot but thats not the point. He was the main man behind it, and one of the 3 original members from Slipknots original phase (a funk-core band, like chilli's but heavier). Paul Grey was troubled but always happy with the fans, truly he achieved what many can only dream of...but DAMN this is a hit to the heart! Jus goes to show how much an artist inspires you when their death causes a part of you to die inside...Paul Grey will always be one of my inspirations, even if he is overshadowed as being nothing but the typical metal bassist...Constantly haunched over as he played live... I'm happy I got to front of stage last year @ Download and caught his attention...but...that was only a year ago...He cant be dead now can he? I'm afraid he is... :,-( R.I.P Paul Grey...Heroes get remembered...but Legends never die...Your memory will live on and each note I play is a tribute to you. My thoughts go to his wife Brenna and his child... 3 well known Metal Giants dead in such a short period of time...these are dark days for metal...

Machines Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I love Slipknot too so this is definitely sad to hear, saw them at Reading and they put on a hell of a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I'm not a huge fan of their music - but its a very sad loss. 38 years old!! Jesus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Bajo Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 RIP Paul Gray. Such a shame when something like this happens to someone so young and a family man to boot. Bass wise, you have to be decent to keep up with Slipknot and still put on the performance like he did at every show. he will be missed from the line up, I doubt no one else would be able to put in some much energy and drama as he did.

Gust0o Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Very sad to hear this. I waited to post, as I was still of a mind that there might - possibly must - have been a mix up, given how it was reported. Alas not, and another one leaves us - and well before his time, too. RIP.

Chris2112 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Terrible shame this. Paul was always one of my favourite metal bassists. What a tone he used to get with those Thumbs! When "Slipknot" came out, it was never out of my CD player and it remains one of my favourite records to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
