DAMN!! WHAT THE F--K!!! THAT JUST BLOWS MY MIND. WHO THE HELL IS NEXT. VERY SAD. R.I.P. MAN

[KeithReynolds]

What everyone isnt taking into account is, he was well known for dabbling into various drugs. When you do lots of stuff like that..how could it be a shock? Even with Peter Steele I feel the same way. He was also well known for his alcohol and cocaine habits. In the end, it wasnt really a shock.
Alot of the band guys abuse substances, they should know its a risk to health....and living. Just because they are "big rock stars" doesnt meant they HAVE to do the stereotypical "rockstar thing". Im still pissed off at Peter Steele for being such an asshole and doing things to shorten his existence here.

About Slipknot, I loved their self titled record. they were very original then. everything afterwards just wasnt my thing at all.

3 big metal names this year... Damn, what a sad year in metal

Keith a point to think about , there is a level of blame that should be considered when an addict passes , In 2010 do any of us really go into anything not knowing the risks ? McDonalds Cheeseburgers, Cigarettes , Alcohol , and on and on , the jury is certainly not still out on health risks and most of us step up and take a few every day , but at the end of the day when someone leaves this world Expectedly or by surprise the rest of who love them are left behind to deal with the loss, and no matter what we know that person was they were ours to feel how we feel and mourn how we see fit. Today Paul's mother and father are in pain NO MATTER WHAT HE WAS to the world , He was their son , Remember to the world were all just a person but to some people were the world !

Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living all are scarred...D. Mustaine

I certainly know what you mean. I agree with your post 100%. I wasnt downplaying the severity of it. I didnt mean it to come off like that.
I smoke too many cigs...when I die of cancer, it wont be a surprise. Not to me, not to anyone. It was a choice I made. I know the health risks of smoking, but I still do it. Which is STUPID. Id love to quit, but I havent been able to. In the end, if I wanted to live a long life, I wouldnt do the things that shorten life.

Think of it like someone playing russian roulette. If they keep pulling the trigger, one day its gonna fire. how could anyone be shocked? they were firing a gun at their head...what did they expect?

It's cool man I didn't mean to seem as though I was climbing up your ass ,

[Bloodsong]

Gray has battled Heroin addiction for some time and was said to be clean with a kid on the way. hard to say. he looked like a real mess a couple years ago. am i shocked he died? no. bummed? yeah.

can't believe Phil Anselmo is still alive to be honest.

[Naga]

We all make our choices, and we either live with them, or we die from them. Such is the way of life. This man has apparently inspired many before his body succumbed to the things that he died from

[bassist_25]

can't believe Phil Anselmo is still alive to be honest.

Yeah, he's so burned out that he rambles and makes no sense in interviews. He was always douchey, but now he's a douche that can't keep a stready train of thought.

Scott Weiland's another one whom I'm surprised hasn't taking the 10:30 express to the mortuary.

[Asundor]

Ya I've been looking to see weiland in the news for sometime now. It will happen, I mean I hope not but I can see it happening!!!!

[seeders]

Who cares? All my friends were in to Slipknot back in 2002, I thought then and I still do that they suck. If he left family behind I feel sorry for them but , especially if drugs killed him, fuck it.

[ZappasXWife]

How old are you seeder? You seem a little immature. This site is sort of for grown-ups.

Where was this comment during all the political threads???

[KeithReynolds]

There's been a new development. A hypodermic needle and a bottle of pills were found with him...

With all the problems and death that comes with using hard drugs...why do people continue to use or try it?? Alot of people cant afford neat little rehab facilities, but he could have....
If you know someone thats using hard drugs, please please please get them help ASAP. Tons of addicts die everyday that arent fortunate enough to have a famous name that is loved by millions. Does that make them worth any less? NOT AT ALL. Dont wait until its too late.

[Asundor]

AMEN Keith!!!!

Did anyone see the press conference with the members of Slipknot?? Joey Jordinson had a rough time, so did Jim Root. For all of their stage theatrics and heavy, heavy sound, they are only human. RIP Paul Gray.

[Asundor]

Were do you find the video for that press release from the band!!!

I saw it on some news website, but someone posted it on youtube. Here's the link:
