SLIPKNOT: Video Interview With COREY TAYLOR

September 19, 2012

Robyn Lane of the New Jersey radio station WRAT 95.9 FM conducted an interview with SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR singer Corey Taylor prior to SLIPKNOT's August 8 performance at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey as part of this year's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. You can now watch the chat below.

A Des Moines, Iowa doctor was charged on September 5 with involuntary manslaughter because he allegedly over-prescribed painkillers to eight of his patients — one of whom was SLIPKNOT bassist Paul Gray, who died of a drug overdose in May 2010.

Gray was found dead at the age of 38 in a hotel room outside Des Moines, surrounded by drug paraphernalia. His death was ruled an accidental overdose of morphine and fentanyl, with his autopsy showing that Gray also suffered from significant heart disease.

Gray's widow, Brenna, revealed in an April 2011 interview with Revolver that her husband had agreed to get help for his drug problem just one day before he died on May 24, 2010.

After a lengthy hiatus, SLIPKNOT resumed touring last year, with Donnie Steele playing bass live. The band intends to enter a recording studio sometime in 2013 to begin work on its first album without Gray.
