Another RIP

Sad to announce another loss to the metal community, and this one effects arguably the most popular of today's group of modern metal bands- Slipknot.  Just confirmed was the death of their 38 year old bassist, Paul Grey (also known as #2 or 'The Pig'), who was found dead in his hotel room.  Paul just joined the supergroup Hail replacing Dave Ellefson on bass, and featuring Mike Portnoy and Ripper Owens.  Paul had a history of drug and alcohol abuse, so all fingers point to that as cause of death.  I remember eating BBQ food with Slipknot after Mayhem Fest last summer and he was WASTED, but also all smiles with everyone.  This is sad news to all involved.  Paul was expecting a baby soon..... RIP

  3. No, he was too wasted! But we did get some with Sid Wilson (was in a wheelchair at the time), Jim Root, and Corey.
