Graeme Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Was this guy an an important member of the band? Surely they can throw a mask on some other fella who can play the bass.It's not about that... they've never had a line-up change since Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat and they were very close on a personal level, it's not like GNR where it's always managed to bounce back after personnel issues, it's one of the nine down if you know what I mean. It's really very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Yeah Slipknot in this form had been together for 14 years and they were always very close on side projects and alike. I wonder if this will be the end of the road for them as they are on hiatus at the moment with Joey doing new Murderdolls stuff and Corey doing more Stone Sour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Yeah Slipknot in this form had been together for 14 years and they were always very closeStones,Bon Jovi etc.My bet is there will more Slipknot..New guy,new mask.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
