So the band Slipknot was a very popular band in the 90's and some if the 2000's.  They Originated in 1995 in Des Moines, Iowa. They had lots of albums that were hits and songs as well. Slipknot was one of those really popular heavy metal bands that would travel the world. they were so many bands idols as well.

The band stop performing when their bass player Paul Gray died on May 24, 2010 in Des Moines, Iowa. The whole band was devastated.  When They went on their last tour they brought his bass, jumpsuit, and mask and put it on a podium. They really did not want to continue with the band after he passed away. Paul Gray was the Co-Founder of Slipknot.

Now in 2014 Slipknot has gotten back together but this time without their drummer Joey Jordinson and Paul Gray of course. Most of the fans are excited that they are back together but some are upset because it is not the original Slipknot that everyone fell in love with. I honestly am both. It is exciting that they are back together but then it isn't , because they are missing two really good members that can not be replaced.

Slipknot will always be one of my favorite bands, but they will never be the same. Paul Gray will always be missed and i hope Joey Jordensons new band Scar The Martyr does great.
