Corey Taylor wants to continue performing with Slipknot

Dec 12, 2010
Slipknot fronman Corey Taylor revealed his feelings about the death of his bandmate, bassist Paul Gray, and his own future. Singer claimed that he was "living for two people" since Gray has passed away. According to Corey Taylor, he was given such advice by Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul – whose brother and bandmate Darrell Abbott was shot onstage in 2004.

Singer also said he thought that Gray would like Slipknot to continue performing.

"It's important to celebrate life and not revel in death. Paul Gray wouldn't want us to. He would want us to keep going because they loved doing this. He absolutely loved doing this. In his spirit we should continue, I’ve never seen a guy who loved playing as much as Paulie and who gave so much", said he.

Paul Gray was found dead in a hotel room in Des Moines, Iowa in June. According to toxicology tests, the cause of death was an accidental overdose.

Slipknot last to date album All Hope Is Gone hit the stores in 2008.
