slipknot return

I find it a little annoying and arrogant when people say that it's 'not Slipknot' without Paul. It's their band, they decide what they are. Bands change, bands evolve. Like somebody said before they've done showd without certain members before, whether that was Paul or not... that was still Slipknot... people at the shows weren't like "fuck this is bullshit!!! Without Clown this aint Slipknot" or whatever.

Paul said it himself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeMYJpRDCZE#t=5m29s
-"You're not catering to somebody elses ideas of what Slipknot should be?"
-"FUCK NO. It's only ours and everybody else can like it or hate it and we don't give a flying fuck."

I understand Corey's reservations about doing another album cos it's pretty well documented that Paul was one of the core writers in the band. But once again, they aren't hypocrits if they do another album. They're just moving on. Life goes on.

TBH, I believe that Slipknot are giving the fans what they want and that's the best thing, in my opinion. I didn't go "WTF... it's not Slipknot without PAUL!!!" when I heard they were touring... I was just stoked.

Corey Taylor: “I’d shag Hayley Williams”

 

Corey Taylor is one of the world’s most entertaining, outspoken and best loved rock stars. But despite your fondness for him, you lot put the Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman through hell with your questions in this week’s Kerrang! magazine.

Steven from Nottingham made Corey particularly sweat when he asked who the singer would like to shag, marry or kill out of Hayley Williams, Cristina Scabbia, Sharon Osbourne… 

“You can’t give me that one!” pleaded Corey. “Jim [Root, Stone Sour/Slipknot guitarist] is dating Cristina! That questioner knew exactly what they were doing with that question. Man, you’re killing me! Okay, well I’m certainly not going to shag or marry Sharon Osbourne, as lovely as she is. So I guess I have to kill her.”

“As for the other two…” he continued, “well, I do have a thing for redheads, so I’d shag Hayley and marry Cristina. But the readers need to know that these are my only fucking options!”
