Well... First of a all Michael,after Ronnie and now Paul! We're living a strange period. I'm a huge Slipknot's fan for a longtime. Paul: "We'll miss you a lot". R.I.P. my dear friend and great musician!
RIP PAUL WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED ~LT~

Paul Gray (LT)
OMG Ginny, that is disgusting. What's more disgusting is the degenerates that are glorifying this lowlife. So not "heavy metal" of them, all that whining about feelings.
I flirted my way backstage at a concert and Slipknot were giving underage teenage girls golden showers. Lost all respect. This guy was a drug addict.
I think it is pretty disturbing that people are leaving mean comments. I'm not a slipknot fan, but they are talented. He was a person. Drugs are bad, I know that. However, it doesn't mean he deserved to die. I didn't like Michael Jackson, but I didn't comment about how disgusting he was. Yes, I much as I don't like Justin Bieber I would still be human enough to say R.I.P. So my final comment is Paul, you played in a very talented band. I'm sorry you died and that you'll never get to meet your baby. Those of us who have hearts will miss you. Rest in Peace.
How pathetic Danielle and other incoherent degenerates. Are you on dope, too? You need to get lives. Sad you are loser white trash and your band is a bunch of low lifes.

I'm bummed, this is another sad day for metal.I don't care what all you media zombies think.
This is another sad day for Metal.
Dear Maggot, sorry but just because I don't think he deserves sympathy does not an @sshole make. They can visually assault me with their hideous appearance, I have the right to say the truth- he was arrested for having coke, pot and needles in his Porsche while he crashed into someone. He is the @sshole for not being by his wife's side- PROBABLY on drugs... we shall see. BTW it is so un-metal of all of you people... don't you know their lyrics? Die die die death destruction blah blah blah. What's with all the emo whining? I don't think anyone in Slipknot would be very proud... unless their just posers...
