COREY TAYLOR ‘Conflicted’ About Continuing SLIPKNOT

Stone Sour

Corey Taylor Concentrated On Stone Sour After Death Of Slipknot Bass Player

SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor says he doesn’t want to make any rash statements about the band’s future following the recent passing of bassist Paul Gray and is focusing, for the time being, on promoting “Audio Secrecy”, the new album from his other band, STONE SOUR.

“It’s kind of a gray area right now,” Taylor tells in FMQB Productions‘ radio special, “Inside Stone Sour: Audio Secrecy”. “Everybody is still feeling it. It’s too soon to tell.

Paul was the whole reason that the band was the way it was… Paul was the glue and the orchestrator behind some of the best music we ever wrote. He was the soul of the band.

"I'm very conflicted about whether or not I want to do anything with SLIPKNOT, because to me, Paul was such an integral part of the band.

“I don’t want to make any statements that I’ll look like a fool in retrospect, but to me, right now, it just doesn’t make sense,” Taylor says. “Until it does, that’s the way it stays for me. That’s why I’ve been saying it’s too soon to tell… you never know.”

§§ Comment: I totally agree with Corey on this one! Some of Slipknots best was due to the genius that was Paul Gray. He will be sorely missed. While we hate to see Slipknot be buried with Paul, we totally get it!
