jesus, that’s terribleI never mentioned it in the thread since he was next door at the time, but my former neighbor was in an early version of the band (up to the release that they now refer to as their “demo” I think) and he was pretty broken up when Gray died a fair number of kids had slipknot bumper stickers on their shitty high school kid cars in the school parking lot in the mid 90s

dude was supremely talented. one of my favorite drummers of all time. i can’t believe this (except i sorta can given the severity of his health problems, but also still can’t)

This is terrible news. He had completely recovered from that MS like thing he was suffering when he left the band, no? Either way, what a loss.

i'm listening to "wait and bleed" and i never think of double-bass drum playing as a feature of nu-metal, many of those bands felt like they were retreating from the busier evolutions of metal music, but jordison's extremely funky double-bass work... yo

really good new song that sounds like a direct continuation of the last album

All the super triggered drums in this kind of stuff always sounds to me like someone drumming their hands on a tabletop.

First single/video from the new album looks and sounds super Code Orange-y to me, and/but I'm kiiiiinda into it. Need to go back and revisit the last album, see if it's still as good as I remember.

unpopular opinion, but this reminds me of stone sour.this is not a bad thing as i love both of the 'house of gold & bones' albums.

My work laptop is set up with Bing as its home page and it's just suggesting the story "Slipknot announce the departure of keyboardist Craig Jones after 27 years" and I'm bemused to see that the story is from ... The Daily Mail.
