Coroners reports have not come threw yet, but it is not suspicious.

I followed slipknot for the whole ten years - this was kinda unexpected.

Whos betting its something to do with a drug overdose.

Normally is.

And if it isnt be a first.

never liked their music. My bet is on drugs.

He got busted in 2003 for possession of coke, weed, and ramming his car in to someone while drunk.

This sucks. I followed them since the beginning as well.

Yep I say drugs where involved but it will take 6 months to find out the truth. Just like The Rev from Avenged Sevenfold still no word on what caused his death. And with the passing of Dio the rockers are dropping like flies.

And if it isnt be a first.

 

Actually not, if you remember the original lead singer for Drowning Pool died shortly into their stardom career due to natural casues and he was abit young.

I stand corrected.

Even though slipknot are hated and loved in equal measures their last two albums have been a little emo they still know how to execute a metal song.

One of the eight is dead, fuck. (2)

Be interesting to see how they cope with this and what effect it has on their music in the future, next album is next year.

 

I know a lot of people wont like this comparison and im not making it, metallicas bassist died and it fucked them over pretty bad.

Slipknot doesn't have Lars in the band. I think they're alot safer than Metallica were.

Press conference with the rest of the band as well as brother and hot ass wife addressing the death of Paul.

[emsley]

Heavy shit.

You really felt for them.
