Too soon to say regarding future of Slipknot
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 29 June 2010
Slipknot’s Jim Root has said it is too soon to say what will happen to the metal band moving forward following the sudden death of bassist Paul Gray last month, admitting that at the moment it’s still a case of “if” the band perform together again, rather than “when”.
He has been speaking to the website of the Sonisphere Festival because his other band Stone Sour are playing a number of the European dates of the metal fest this summer. He told the site: “There’s going to be a big healing process that needs to happen before we even think about whether or not Slipknot will continue. And right now that’s the furthest thing from our mind”.
He continued: “Right now we are just grieving or trying to find time to grieve anyway for the fact that our bro’s gone. It’s weird because some days I don’t even think it’s real, so that one’s not going to make sense for a while”.
