Paul Grey (slipknot)

He's an alright player, with really great tone. Actually some of the best metal tone I've heard... that doesn't stop me from finding Slipknot incredibly childish. And the fact that they are sueing those Burger King Chicken commercials turns them into a complete joke! Gwar should sue Slipknot if that's the case.
He's fine with me, alot better than Fieldy (IMO) and he's not a tool, but yah, the pig mask freaks me out a little bit.
BTW, he plays a Warwick corvette 5 through an ampeg 8X10, and it sounds good.

Paul grey is pretty good, it shows on the MFKR album with his slapping and jazz walk lines in the song 'Do nothing/bitchslap' but in there new stuff hes just doing normal basslines and following the guitar, but his tone is nice yes.. Warwick!
Corvette 5? the last time i knew he was playing a warwick thumb 4?

lol, well, alot of his riffs use the b string, so he has to have a 4. He does use a thumb 4 on Before I forget, but I think he uses a corvette 5 on some other stuff...

I'll bite......i like SlipKnot. I dig Paul's playing for what it is. To me, it plays lines that fit extremely well with Slipknot and their type of music. I'd like to hear what he can do when there aren't 2 guitars, a sampler, a synth?/real time effects guy, a drummer, and an auxillary percussionist all hacking it out. I do like their music though-i think i've got their first CD [the one w/all the numbers, has wait and bleed, sic, amongst others].
Before people jump on my back or throw me in with all the kids that are from other places [thinking tab related], i'm studying jazz at a music conservatory right now.
I do enjoy a wide variety of music.
That's all

What the hell is this sueing goin on? Why? Links?
Oog
he varys from a 5 string to a 4 string and he uses a peavy rig when you can hear him some of his stuff is pretty good for metal thats when you can hear him
Yeah i saw them live at the CIA in Cardiff, it was good, until the end when Paul put his neck-thru thumb bass through one of the percussionist's drum's 
Yes I like Slipknot. And enough people liked them enough to make their last album debut number 1 in the WORLD. Hopefully that is enough to quite the crabby haters that always seem to pop their heads up when they feel the need to dis something they don't comprehend.
To shed a little light on who Paul was, he had a very strong addiction to Heroine. Whether or not its what killed him, it certainly was a factor. He was also a founding member of Slipknot. And he recorded a lot the guitars which many might not know. Needless to say he was more talented then just his bass playing. Which was never stand out in comparison to others, but he was a major force behind the music.

Um- most if not all of the dissing in this thread happened 5 years ago. The current dissing is likely more directed at those who don't realize they're replying to someone who hasn't been here for a long time.
