Internet hasn't got a great reputation for factual accuracy.

what.....

RIP Paul. This is horrible. He was one hell of a bassist. Listen to the Early Slipknot song, "Confessions" and you will see what I mean.

Just recently the internet went nuts with reports of DIO's death... the day before he actually died.

As to Paul Gray, Juggalos did it!!!!

I know this sounds stupid, but as a fellow lefty bassist, this news is particularly hard for me...

I mean... I am a fan... I LOVE their S/T... Iowa was OK... didn't like much after that...

But ummm....

Ugh.

This sucks.

I'm not a huge fan of Slipknot, but respect to the man anyway. It's a bad time for metal.

i'm sorry, but what kind of selfish person dies of an od and leaves a pregnant wife behind? you would think being a father would at least cause him to calm down a little bit with the drugs. didn't seem to miss a beat.

RIP, selfish dude.

he was arrested for it, yes. and otherwise healthy 38 year olds don't usually die in hotel rooms because they're whacking off to hotel ppv. usually there's bullets or drugs.
